LeechCraft milestone 0.4.80 “Cow Killer” is just released!
This milestone mainly focuses on the Azoth IM client and the XMPP protocol implementation Azoth Xoox.
Among the most important changes are:
- Added support for media calls in Azoth.
- Added experimental Jingle implementation in Azoth Xoox.
- Introduced antispam module and module for ignoring multiuser conferences’ participants.
- Implemented PEP and some corresponding XEPs in Azoth Xoox: User activity, User mood, User tune.
- Added a plugin for publishing currently playing tune. Now only MPRIS-compatible players are supported.
- Implemented In-Band Registration in Azoth Xoox, so it’s possible now to register Jabber accounts right from the client.
- Privacy Lists are now supported in Azoth Xoox.
- Added support for Ad-Hoc Commands in Azoth Xoox.
- Introduced Azoth Rosenthal, a module providing spellchecker for Azoth chat windows. Myspell/Hunspell dictionaries are used.
- Introduced Azoth EmbedMedia for showing media objects like flash video or images directly in chat windows.
- Added Azoth Autopaste for automatically pasting long texts to pastebins and replacing them with the corresponding links.
- Implemented Message Delivery Receipts and Attention in Azoth and Azoth Xoox.
- Introduced a new module, Poshuku Keywords, for URL shortcuts.
- Added XML console in Azoth.
- LeechCraft settings are now configured via a tab instead of a dialog.
- Lots of small improvements and bugfixes.
We’ve also begun working on the new notifications infrastructure, and that has been described in details in the corresponding digest.
Those interested can view all the major changes in the corresponding digests (#4, #5, #6, #7), while even more curious could just do git log 0.4.75..0.4.80
.
Packages are already available for Ubuntu Lucid, Maverick and Natty (and, thus, Debian testing/unstable). Gentoo ebuilds are also available. Packages for Fedora and openSUSE would be built a bit later.
By the way, since the last milestone about a month ago, LeechCraft was included into official repositories of openSUSE and RFR.
