1.0 Beta 5 is now available from the beta plugins page. This release includes quite a few bug fixes and a lot of improvements to handling of contacts. (for example, all operations done with MSN contacts should now function correctly… moving between groups, nicknames, that sort of thing) Most of the system properties shown in the appropriate wiki page are now functional as well. Please see the changelog and readme for more details!
Please note that any of the folk testing against SVN while I was developing 1.0 Beta 5 may have to re-register with the transports. We were experimenting with a concept that we ended up turning off.
Spark users only, as of the next release of Spark (I assume), if you register from Spark you will not have the transports in your roster. This is an experimental feature we are working on for a smoother/cleaner feel for the transports. It is only supported in “future Spark”. One caveat to this is that if you register from Spark and then log in via another client, you will not log into the transports. If you are a person who dances between clients, I would recommend registering with “not Spark”. =) Users of Spark though, when that new release comes out please try it out! It’'s pretty nifty!
Aww crap, and yes, sorry folk, I forgot to do the known bugs thing in the changelog like I had planned.
Couple of them are as follows:
GATE-104: I don’‘t know if this inputerror is fixed yet. I couldn’'t reproduce it. So please let me know.
GATE-112: The yahoo bad friend parse is probably still happening. I -really- need to talk to someone who’‘s actually experiencing this with their own yahoo account. If you are one of these people, I need a list of the contacts on your list. If you wouldn’'t mind, please log into a real yahoo client and write down the list of contacts (both online and offline) on your list and private message them to me (or email at jadestorm@nc.rr.com)
GATE-8 and GATE-7: Web interface options, tests, and permissions are not implemented yet. Just there for show.
GATE-119: AIM/ICQ contact deletions are not yet supported.
GATE-118: AIM/ICQ “this person added me” notifications are not yet supported.
GATE-113: ICQ offline message retrieval is not yet supported.
Any reason why min. required version is Wildfire 3.1.1 and not 3.1.0 ?
Oh thank you, I forgot to speak on that. It was bumped to 3.1.1 because there are fixes in Wildfire 3.1.1 that make the transport work correctly with LDAP. I up the minimum required version to “whatever minimum wildfire version should cause no problems”.
I don’‘t suppose there’'s any way you could get me a tcpdump output file of the communication between the plugin and Yahoo could you? (basically just recording all traffic on port 5050 until the error occurs)
;D That would be why it’'s not marked as closed. Dooh. Should have mentioned that one in my list of “things not fixed yet”. Sorry about that! Thanks for mentioning it!
I haven’'t worked with XIFF before, but basically you would just follow the procedures outlined in XEP-0100, gateway registrations. (XIFF may even have an easy way to handle this)
