avatar support (beta)

today i coded the support for sending your avatar and amazingly it worked
( tested on aMSN, gaim and kopete ), the code still needs some modifications but
its a good start.

about receiving others avatars it works now only with kopete and kmess, i need
to check that

this feature isnt fully integrated so you will have to wait some time..

for now here is a screenshot.

Report

currently im working in the avatar stuff, right now im able to receive the avatar from
kopete, kmess and trillian, i have some troubles with gaim, aMSN and WLM that i cant figure it out, but i guess i will find the problem sooner or later :D.

i have fixed some bugs:

• tango theme can be loaded again
• the font properties apply to all conversations
• the image on the tooltip is back on linux
  

i also changed the logo from the login window, it will be (i guess) the default logo from emesene (thanks to Vinicius Depizzol )

xmms and rhythmbox plugins thanks to roger duran.

also should be pointed that we are refactoring some parts of the code that needed it, so you wont see any change but we will.. :D

as allways i want to remember that you can contribute with emesene in lot of ways
* translating (into new languages or updating the ones we have)
* coding
* fixing bus
* testing
* doing artwork (we need to replace the smilies and new themes will be great)
* spreading the word about emesene
* packaging
* doing plugins
* etc.

please if you can do something you are welcome

Spell check support

thanks to roger duran we have a new plugin that support spell check.
atalavera modified the main menu layout.
im working on the display picture (nothing to show yet).

so keep testing and commenting...

emesene release 120107

a lot of modifications since the last one:

* huge refactoring of code
* bug fixes
* a better conversation window
* Now is possible to setup the tab position on tabbed chat conversations
* close the switchboard on socket error
* notification on message waiting and typing
* new header on conversation
* new list of users in group conversation
* pt_br translation uploaded
* when status change on the menu changes in the combo
* now emesene remember your last status..
* when there are 2 users in a group chat and 1 leaves the title in the tab changes to the nick of the only user left.
* now when someone start a new conversation the new tab will be the current tab
* soapManager now try 3 times to make a soap request and not forever.
* if the user click with mouse's right button on tab label will see a popup menu with all tabs label and users status
* putted a ComboBoxEntry in place of Entry in login fields window, so the user can list down all the users logins without type any text. The completion is working too.
* removed a event that didnt let you copy text from the conversation window
* added a 'Clear conversation' button to the conversation toolbar
* Added the user Online/Offline relation to group name in contacts list
* show time stamp now is a global attribute and not local to a conversation
* Added send and clear buttons to inputwidget in conversation window
* the text in a tab is saved when the tab is changed. (each tab has is own text)
* Added color scheme funcionality to preferences window. Now we get the colors to build the interface from the config file
* Added the initial setup file :). This setup crates a shortcut item on Desktop os posix systems according to desktop-free-standards

As always if you have a problem remember to delete the .config/emesene1.0 directory and please report bugs and feature request, now almost all the features are there and if the remaining bugs are fixed i can start working on file transfers, display pictures and custom emoticons so.. lets hunt some bugs..!

back to beta

since we have a new developer on emesene (Yguaratã C. Cavalcanti) we started to add new features and refactor a lot of code so emesene will have some unstabilities and huge bugs this days while we move and modify a lot of code and add some stuff.

please keep older versions if you want _some_ stability :D

emesene RC4

emesene on looking glass

some of the modifications

* replaced Entourage with ContactData, simpler and mantainable code, now support multiple groups per contact, easier to support other protocols since we ahave a defined API for contact management
* more descriptive exceptions
* fixed move user to group and added copy user to group and delete user from group.
* descriptive output for exceptions in login
* typing shows in every tab
* configuration dialog for the sound plugin
* only one autereply sent per conversation
* debug escaped
* handle exceptions in soapManager
* add pending fixed
* spanish translation updated
* some code modified to separate emesene from Msnp13
* a lot of modifications that dont remember because of the svn problem

remember to erase the .config/emesene1.0 directory

EDIT 07 january : i have uploaded a new version to sourceforge in the same RC,
i have added notifications of new mesages in tabs, fixed the bugs when blocking and unblocking,
i have added a new languaje (taiwanese), fixed the problem that didnt show blocked contacts.
 new option that allow to select where the tabs should appear, and some more stuff.

new stuff

• now you can see a user that is in multiple groups
  
• users can be copied or moved to another group
• users can be removed from the current group

If somebody can make a cool "loading" gif will be apreciated

information

i made important modifications to Msnp13 library to allow users in multiple groups
make the code simpler and make it easy to mantain, also i have in mind jabber support in a future (after file transfers, custom emoticons and display pictures :) )
so the svn code is a little unstable please keep older versions if you want something
more or less stable and wait until tomorrow to make a svn up, if you are a
extreme user update and help me fix the posible new bugs :P.
