Changes for v0.12 RC 3 - v0.12 RC 4
- Known Issues
- The following are known issues with this release:
- Issues with Qt 4.2.3: There is a bug in Qt 4.2.3 that corrupts incoming text with rare Unicode characters (outside of the BMP)
- Issues with Qt 4.3.(0|1): On X11 Qt 4.3 seems to have problems with some window managers that result in windows not beeing displayed or displayed with a broken layout.
- Issues with Qt 4.3.3: On Windows, qmake has a bug which prevents compilation with mingw, using an earlier Qt or qmake should work.
- Notes
- QCA
- QCA2 is required to build Psi: a version is bundled with Psi.
- The qca-ossl and qca-gnupg plugins are desirable for full functionality of Psi.
- Upgrading to 0.12
- During the upgrade process, the old config.xml configuration file will be imported into the new option.xml format. Neither file should now be edited by hand, since all options are exposed in the options window. Config.xml can be safely removed once the upgrade is complete.
- GnuPG tips
- Always use the latest version of GnuPG.
- On Windows, use a native build instead of one based on cygwin, and make sure it is properly installed in the registry.
- Ensure 'gpg' actually works, by testing it from the command-line.
- You must have a public and secret keyring. Psi cannot operate without them, and they must be there when you start it.
- Changes
- Multi-user chat windows now join one on one chat windows and can be opened in tabbed form, either sharing a window, or seperately.
- The roster search has been updated, and now triggers a filter when typing into the roster window.
- An XML ringbuffer is now used, allowing access to already received XML in the XML console.
- When resolving a name for new contacts, the full name is now used if the nick name is missing from the vcard.
- Auto-connect on wake is now an independent option.
- MUCs can now be bookmarked, and auto-joined.
- The old config.xml file has been dropped in favour of the new options.xml format - all options in Psi can now be configured from the Advanced options pane (no more hand-editing of config files is required).
- Vcard avatars are now transmitted for the benefit of legacy clients and servers not supporting PEP.
- A new diagnostics group is available in the help menu, to allow debugging problems with the QCA security layer.
- Launching several instances of the same profile on Windows and Unices with DBUS now behaves more sensibly.
- On X11, the taskbar should now flash on new messages for compliant window managers.
