[Announce] Ayttm - 0.3.0
by Philip S Tellis 08 May '03

08 May '03

Ayttm 0.3.0 has been released. http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/ Ayttm is a Universal Instant Messenger, and is the heir to the everybuddy project. The minor version number bump is so because we feel there are enough new features since 0.2.x to motivate it, and to make people read the release notes. Things have changed and we'll get bugreports if no one reads it. Modules path has changed, it is now $PREFIX/lib/ayttm instead of $PREFIX/share/ayttm/modules, so if upgrading, you have to change your ~/.ayttm/prefs file by replacing "share/ayttm/modules" by "lib/ayttm". You'll find a perl script on the download page that does the job. * Bugfixes - Segfaults fixed ;-) - MSN: Login in predefined state now works - Compilation warnings - Plug memory leaks - gdk_pixbuf optional - Jabber fixes - Yahoo chatroom (bad name displaying) fix - --url command-line option (lets modules handle URLs, ie "aim:goim?screenname=colinleroy") - TOC modules now try ports 80 and 9898 (should stop problems from places with transparent http proxies) - Fix useless Error popup at logout (with Jabber) - Handle TOC Chatrooms name errors - Proxy support fixed (every type of proxy should work with or without auth) - Modules path changed to comply with FHS (read README!) * New features - "Actions": lets you run arbitrary commands with your conversation logs (print, mail, view in browser,...) - New away messages system (allows deletion) - Login on startup now on a per-account basis - Asynchronous connection for jabber - Activity bars for Yahoo,MSN,AIM,ICQ,Jabber (allows cancellation of hung connections) - Yahoo: non-blocking connects for every connection - Shiny new preferences window You can download it (source and rpms) from http://ayttm.sf.net/files.shtml -- Avoid strange women and temporary variables.

Hello Vinod, good-day. We indeed will be glad to meet you all at Dharwad. But planning out for your event at Dharwad will take some time and i suggest you get started on the same. When we meet at iitb-hubli, we can sit and discuss these issues face-to-face. As for the Event and your existing use of Free Software and Open source, yes......that indeed makes me glad and proud. You indeed have made your self and the college proud by insisting on going in for Open Source and Free Software. I would suggest you read up on the following sites that will give you enough information on Free Software and Open source. * www.gnu.org * www.opensource.org Lemme know if you have any other clarification to make on the same. DO keep in touch and lemme know if you desire any clarifications on the same. Last but not the least....post reading up the sites lemme know if you would prefer to rename the event to "Free Software : The Road ahead". Have a nice day vinod.

Mutt - HTML mails
by Amish Munshi 07 May '03

07 May '03

Greetings, How do I view HTML mails using mutt/links, presently the html mails are received at attachments, they open using links, but a temporary file which is passed by mutt to links is named similar to mutt9938, links does not recognize this as an HTML file and opens it as simple ASCII file, I would like if mutt can pass the file as mutt9938.html or links open all files as HTML format. Bye. -- Amish K. Munshi In GNU we trust.

[OT] C++ doubt
by Abhijeet D Mhatre 06 May '03

06 May '03

HI Friends I have a doubt in C++. when I pass an object to a function, the destructor gets called twice. This behaviour hasn't been mentioned in any books that I have read. Can someone please explain why this happens. In the below example the destructor for p1 gets called twice when it is passed as to the function f. _______________________C++ Code Start____________________________________ #include <iostream.h> #include <stdlib.h> class play { public: int i ; int j; play(int m){i=m; } ~play() {cout << "destructor called " << i <<" " << j << endl; } void f (play p) { p.j = 177; cout << " klkl " << endl; } }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { play p(1), p1(2); p.f(p1); cout << "Hello, World!" << endl; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } _______________________C++ Code End_____________________________________ ______________________Output Start__________________________________ klkl destructor called 2 177 destructor called 2 134514273 Hello, World! destructor called 2 134514273 destructor called 1 134519308 Press Enter to continue! _________________Output End_____________________________________ Regards Abhijeet D Mhatre Email: abhijeetmhatre(a)gmx.net
