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.

They're both the same thing anyway, so yes.

 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 like Jabber and I want use Epistula with Jabber plugin. Gaim and many others comunicators have a Jabber plugin.

Ahh haaa... 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!

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.
