new plugins are coming

I had troubles with svn server in sourceforge so i uploaded a tar.gz so you can download it,
REMEMBER TO ERASE YOUR CONFIG DIRECTORY

almost ready for the final release

since no bugs has been reported in a while and i havent found bugs or features to add to this release (excluding custom emoticons/file trasnfers/display pictures/cam/sound that will be in future releases) , i call translators and packagers to do what they know before the final release :).

if you have a bug/feature please report it!.

emesene alpha



emesene 1.0 is almost feature complete so if you want to be alpha tester just run
the following command:

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/emesene/trunk/emesene emesene1
cd emesene1
python Controller.py

turn on the debug on the preferences menu and start to use it, if you find a bug send me a mail with the exception in the console and the description of the bug to my mail (what were you doing, how to make it happen etc).

if you had used emesene 1.0 before erase the ~/.config/emesene1.0 directory

Emesene SVN

just that

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emesene/

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Downgrading

I decided to delete the 0.1.6 release from sourceforge.

maybe this weekend i can make a stable release.

Tuesday, August 22, 2006

Recomendation

Since the code for the conversations have been rewrited 100% i have found that it have a lot of bugs, when i make the release i only tested the multichat and it worked very well but it have a lot of problems with single conversations.

I suggest you to downgrade to 0.1.5 untill i make a new release.

sorry by the problems...
