Although we all like to boast -about our great work, we're sure there are still bugs remaining, which is -why we don't call this release 1.0, but only 0.5. - -Nevertheless, we feel this new MSN plugin is an enormous step forward from -the last 0.4.1 release and we recommend anyone to try out this all-improved -plugin. Please read the release notes first before reporting bugs, but please -do report anything not listed there! - -Thanks for your interest in Kopete! - - October 2002, the Kopete team <kopete-devel@kde.org> - - -CHANGES IN THE MSN PLUGIN SINCE KOPETE 0.4.1 - -- Ported the plugin to the new MetaContact API, allowing a locally cached - copy of the contact list to be always available (even when offline) and - to combine your MSN contacts with other messaging systems in one entry - in the contact list. - -- Added additional online states ('be right back', 'out to lunch', 'busy', - 'invisible') and the possibility to connect directly with a particular - status (especially useful with 'invisible') - -- Fix multi-user chat now the API finally supports it properly - -- Fix a grave bug in Kopete 0.4.1 where Kopete would popup the 'new user' - dialog for every user in your block list, asking whether you want to - allow or block the user, often crashing Kopete completely - -- Fix support for Unicode messages - -- Fix the 'unhandled error 219' problem that caused Kopete to disconnect - unexpectedly for some people - -- Added possibility to talk with users who aren't in the contact list - -- Incoming filetransfers - -- As usual, several other bugfixes - -CHANGES IN THE MSN PLUGIN SINCE KOPETE 0.4 - -- Added block/unblock user - -- Don't show contacts from the allow list if they are not also in the - friend list (like deleted contacts). Small problem: there already was - a need to have a gui for manipulating blocked/allowed contacts, with - this change this is even a bit more urgent... - -- Hopefully fix a problem with an empty reverse list on a fresh MSN account. - can't test, because by the time the recompile was done the reverse list - was no longer empty... - -- Fix a problem with MSN users no longer receiving messages. Apparently - Microsoft changed the server so messages without an explicit font name are - no longer passed on. - -- Fixed UTF8 handling not really being UTF8. MSN should work fine now with - all unicode characters - -- Moved the plugin to use KGenericFactory as preparation for more KDE-style - plugin handling (as opposed to the current custom code) - -- Fixed crash when disconnecting while an earlier connect was still running - -- Made the connect code asynchronous, so connecting doesn't hang kopete - while processing - -- Fixed minor memory leak in the connect code - -CHANGES IN THE MSN PLUGIN SINCE KOPETE 0.3 - -Many things changed since 0.3. I won't mention them all, because so much of -the internal code changed that the individual commits often fix more than I -was even aware of at that time. Below are the bigger changes and fixes: - -- Ported the plugin to the new KopeteMessageManager. This move unifies the - handling of various resources like chat windows, balloons, system tray - flashing, and more. In Kopete 0.3 this was the exclusive domain of the - ICQ plugin, in this release all plugins except IRC already use the shared - code. - -- Rewrote almost all of the internal protocol handling, fixing an awful lot - of bugs during the process. The main goal was to make the code more - maintainable and extensible, but the gratuitous bug fixes are of course - much more useful for most people. The most important fix of all is a - grave bug that caused the plugin to read a fixed-size 1kb buffer in Kopete - 0.3 without checking for additional data, often causing the plugin to - seemingly 'hang'. - -- Added the ability to change the display name while connected. This can - currently only be done from the context menu. The option in the - preferences never worked, and still does not do what you'd expect it to - do. Sorry :) - -- Added much more useful debug code for developers, testers and other - interested people. It is also a lot *more* debug output, so if you're - scared of console output, better not start Kopete from it... - -- All those tiny bugfixes of which I don't even know whether they fix - regressions introduced during the development of version 0.4, or whether - they fix long-standing bugs. - |
