James Bunton:
* Lots and lots and lots and lots of stability fixes. No really, heaps.
* Support for Twisted 2.0 if you want to try that out.
* An option to only log things to debug.log if there's an error.
* You can send packets to the transport in <route/> wrappers from other
server components and they will work.
* You can add the tag <noerror xmlns="sapo:noerror"/> to a message if
you don't wish to have it bounced upon an error (useful for scripts)
* Lots and lots more bugfixes.
* A few new languages. If yours isn't here, please have a look at
lang.py and send me a translation :)

PyAIM-t 0.6 Release Notes

This is sort of a stopgap release to put out some important fixes, as requested
by folk on the py-transports list. Some highlights are:

• Support for @mac.com screen names.

• Support for chat room exchanges.

• Better unicode support.

• Support for extended status messages.

• Contact users upon disconnection.

• Support for displaying idle times.

• Improved rate limit handling.

Please be aware that, despite the support for chat room exchanges being added,
it's possible that normal groupchats may not work very well now. This release
did not include extensive testing of the new groupchat code. Exchanges are
specified using %. For example, #myroom%[email protected]/mynickname
opens a chatroom myroom on exchange 4.

James Bunton:
Hi everybody.

PyMSNt 0.10 has been released and declared stable. Its handling several
thousand concurrent users on SAPO (http://messenger.sapo.pt) servers
right now.

This release brings all sorts of niceties:
* Limited ad-hoc commands
* More stability
* Fixes to contact list handling (this may mean you have to redelete a
few contacts as a once-off)
* Clustering support (requires an extra component. Join py-transports
if you're interested)
* MSN7 personal message -> Jabber status, and MSN nick -> Jabber vCard
nick
* <nickname> tag in presence for willing clients.
* And of course, vCard and (limited) JEP-8 avatars!

Grab it from: http://msn-transport.jabberstudio.org

Have a look at the developer docs to see how to make sure your client
works well with the transport.
At the moment the user guide isn't fully up to date.

Release Notes

This release has some known bugs in it, but it has been a long time since the
last release and so I wanted to get something out for people to play with and
get everyone on the same page. Some of the features added since 0.6 are:

* Web interface improved.

* Lots of new OSCAR related functionality.

* Buddy icons!

* Startup script is now cross platform (python PyICQt.py instead of PyICQt)

* Support for Jabberd2's component protocol.

* New driver based spool (including MySQL support).

* Slew of encoding fixes.

Please see the NEWS file for more details on major changes. Some known issues
that still exist are:

* There are still encoding problems here and there, primarily in status
handling.

* Icon handling can be rather talkative.

* Web interface still isn't as useful as I want it to be.

Please look over the bug reports if you try out this release and comment if you
run into problems and are continuing to see those bugs. You can probably expect
a 0.7a release to handle at least the talkative icons soonish.
