Announcing the release of Ayttm 0.2.1

You can get it at http://www.nongnu.org/ayttm/

Ayttm is a fork of Everybuddy, and aims to, at first, address its problems:

* stability: Ayttm should not segfault when you use it. * intuitivity: Ayttm should be almost instantly usable by my mother ;) * simplicity: almost useless prefs should be hidden, reserved to "advanced" users, and things have to work without wondering what this or that will produce. * (internet) accessibility: Ayttm's CVS and releases should be available 24/7. That's why it's on savannah.

Ayttm is maintained by Colin Leroy.

* Important notes about this release - There has been a name change. People trying out Ayttm for the first time do not care, but people upgrading from an older version should do the following: make uninstall (in the old version source) mv ~/.yattm ~/.ayttm cd ~/.ayttm perl -pi -e 's/yattm/ayttm/g;s,sounds/ayttm,ayttm/sounds,g' prefs menurc

* Bugfixes - code cleanups - some memleaks plugged - some segfaults fixed - Decoding bugs (Utf8 messages in Yahoo!, Utf8 friendlynames in MSN) fixed - Default focuses should be in the first text field of each window - Conversation restoring improved - Default browser changed to mozilla (old code didn't work) - No more log file overwrite when you rename a contact - Font strangenesses (size reset to defaults, ...) fixed

* New Features - Name change :) - Bring Ayttm in front in case of duplicate launch - Better lists handling in MSN - Group handling in MSN - Check account validity when adding a friend - MSN smileys are back, copyright free this time - Chatrooms improvements: multiline edit, smiley selector, timestamping, Typing... status support, * and protocol in window title, nicer default name - Ispell dictionnary specifiable - Crash handler (enabled by default) - pops the stacktrace up if Ayttm segfaults
