New qutim from SVN
Today, tired of waiting for a stable version, I decided to collect qutim from SVN. Below are a few words about what they see.
The assembly is as follows (this simple manual was found on the project's forum, the authors also remind you that this is a developer version and you should not expect miracles from it):
Then you can safely run the resulting binary.
If I correctly understood what was read on the forum, the project was rewritten relative to the latest stable version (0.1.1) (partially or completely - I don't know). Changes a little, but they are.
First of all, I would like to note the fact of the eradication of two bugs of the “package” version, which were the most annoying: 100% load when communicating with some contacts and periodic drops during start / reconnect.
Of the really useful updates, so far I noticed only that Qutim can now independently read x-status `s (in version 0.1.1, you had to constantly poke into the“ read ”context menu).
The settings window was reworked, making it somewhat less understandable, but I think this is temporary. There is also a dialog for managing plugins (I know only two for ICQ and Jabber, at least one is prepared for Mail Agent) and a separate interface management dialog (again, not very convenient, without the ability to import styles / languages).
The contact list also underwent minor changes - it acquired a new icon-pack, statuses can now be displayed under the contact's nickname. A trifle, but nice - looks much better.
')
In general, nothing radical - there is still a lot of work ahead for developers, but the project lives on and this is very pleasing. The SVN version is quite possible to use and it is definitely better than 0.1.1 - in a few hours of work I didn’t see fatal bugs, there were no crashes either.
