Epistula v52.12

Latest public version of Epistula has now been released for you try. As usual , you can find it in the usual place; Epistula Website.

As a good will gesture, I've provided a public keyfile for download so everyone can now use Epistula without the 10 minute timeout. If you haven't already, please consider donating though, it makes me feel better

Important Note: You will need the latest version of OS4 installed, i.e. the one Hyperion released this week.

Read more (mod note)

Please before sending me emails, I know the following don't work (yet):
- File Transfers
- Plugin Avatar Support
- Auto Away

I'd like to point out that they are supported in Epistula, however I haven't written the plugin to support these features yet.

Bug reports, crashes, crash logs all welcome but please, no bitching about missing features.

Not too shy to talk Joined: 12/02/2006 From: VA, USA Comments: 382	Re: Epistula Instant Messenger @Slash Thank you very much for opening up Epistula longer term testing! I downloaded it and tried to connect to AIM (using a config I had briefly working before) and, unfortunately, it gave me this error message: "Unable to connect to the service on the address and port provided. Please check the server credentials in the plugin settings" I checked the plugin config and the server address is set as: aimexpress.oscar.aol.com 5190 I think this is/was the default server config for AIM? And so I'm wondering, is this a problem with the server or something else on my end - the rest of the congif or something else in Epistula? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, PJS

I didn't realize the TOC plugin was missing from the new archive... ...I just installed the new version over the old one (to reuse my config) and thought it was all getting replaced. Doh! PJS

Just popping in Joined: 11/27/2006 From: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK Comments: 45	Re: Epistula Instant Messenger @SZAMAN Well in that case I apologise for my reply, but the way I saw it you were having a pop at Epistula and encouraging the use of Jabberwocky. Normally I wouldn't care about such comments, but I thought such a comment in the news item for Epistula was a bit harsh, hence my reply. To answer your question correctly, I have no plans to create a Jabber plugin just yet, I need to get Epistula as stable as possible and I need to get the file transfer working in MSN. Then I can have a look at a jabber plugin. Or you could give it a go yourself? I'd provide a skeleton plugin for you to compile for use with Epistula in that case. You'd just have to fill in the Jabber functionality first.
