SabreMSN 0.55 - 2009-07-30 , minor tweaks

Updated: scroll down...


Battling poor eyesight, lack of time, and ((*censord*)) (dont censor me lol)-(I can and I will), jahc has finally churned out some more crap for you guys to play with. Still no file transfers, display avatars, or custom emoticons. Only jahcSoft makes it possible.

2009-07-19 : Alpha 52
- Can now type messages in the AROS version now without crashing. But Tabs
go crazy when they're enabled.. they refresh nonstop. Keep it disabled
for now. will work on it.
- Multi line messages from Sabre to Sabre work again.
- Personal messages in the contacts list arent in italics anymore, I
didnt like that anymore.
- "Current Music" information is displayed if your PC/Mac friends are
listening to music on their machines. It's a little buggy right now
though, it displays garbage for some of your online contacts, depending
on what platform they're using, etc.
- Added a new MUSIC command to set your Current Media personal music. It
currently only takes the name of the mp3, and unintelligently assumes that
everything after the last "-" character is the name of the song, but I'm
going to work on making it accept ARTIST and SONG values, so that proper
music programs that use id tags in MP3's can send that information to
SabreMSN.
- Added seconds to the 24hour timestamps, changed them to square brackets
- Changed the way messages are displayed. "jahc says:" is only displayed
once, and your messages appear underneath. Doesnt display another
"user says:" line until someone else types a message. Saves space!

If theres any problems, please email me. Grab it from the usual place..

2009-07-19 : Alpha 53
- The feature for only displaying "user says:" information only once, used a
global string to store the nick that "last spoke", when I should have used
a seperate "last spoke" string for each individual tab. Fixed now!
- It appears I put version 51 of Sabre AROS in the last 52 archive!!!

2009-07-30 : Alpha 55
- Blank personal message has been changed to "(click to set message)" so that the user
knows to click there to change it, but still trying to keep it small..
- Included a basic Listening To: ARexx script. Configure SimplePlay 3.7 to use it,
and then when SabreMSN is running your status will be updated with the music you're
currently listening to.
- Personal message is automatically changed back 8 minutes after displaying the
current media (listening to..) message. This is so that music replayers dont need
to send a blank MUSIC "" command to reset the values.
- Tweaked setting the "nick - personal message" field, with initial personal messages,
and when changing the display name. Might be less buggy now.
- Removed some debug output from the ARexx commands

My new glasses got me a girlfriend.

@jahc

the new version work well on AOS3.x actually.

The song you earn not change automatically (or It's a verry long one). Surely not implanted but would like to write here this point

Well I got it running under AROS and AmigaOS3.5 after an initial crash every click..

@DaveP

eek. what was the problem in the end? stack? something else?

Oh noes.. this is the end of good software from Jahc.. now he has got a new hobby..

@jahc

Stack. I'd forgotten that dumb AmigaOS thing about setting stack sizes.

@DaveP

Isn't there an auto stack increase tool around somewhere?

Mark

@Mark

Not as far as I am aware, its just one of those annoying AmigaOS oddities isn't it? That you don't really need to worry about anywhere else unless you are launching threads.

@DaveP

Must be my faulty brain then, could have sworn I heard mention of an auto increasing stack thingy somewhere, maybe it was a feature (or planned feature) for OS4

Mark

@Mark

I was having the problem on UAE.

@jahc

Please before adding a proper about window on Sabre add at least a version number on the title of the window, it is always difficult to check the installed version

@samo79

Thats a good Idea!

@samo79

That was added in version 0.52 or so.

@jahc

Really ?
Good my latest in use seems 0.51, need to upgrade

@jahc

Hi!
Good WORK!
Only one suggestion...
Why dont made an option to choose the delay time of "new message" sound activation?
I mean...if I'm in chat with someone I "hate" getting the new message sound every time...
But if I was surfing and doing something other and someone write to me after (for example) 10 miunte for last message I like to get the sound so I will know that he wrote to me...
So ok for the first message, but if I receive many message within few second I think that the sound was only annoing...

Hope I'm explained correctly...if not will try to explain it better...

Good Work!

@Tuxedo

what if I just make it play the highlight sample ONLY if the window is inactive or closed?

or even if its just in a different tab?

@jahc

I'm getting a lot of disconnections with 0.53, it disconnects like several times a minute. With 0.51 I only had it disconnect straight after startup, and after that it remained connected mostly.

@jahc

I really don't know if is it usefull or not for a bug tracking but from when I changed my nick using prefs window Sabre always disconnect me a random after max 2 o 3 minutes ...

Before I was using my e-mail address as nick, now is changed with a "normal" nick
