| | 13 | == 2006-04-11: First release candidate of the 0.4.x series == |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | So after several days in which new bugs kept popping up we are now ready to release the first series of candidates for the 0.4.x branch. Most notably this release adds transport layer security (TLS) to the communication layer. It uses anonymous authentication, though, so the handling of certificates to verify the peer is yet to be implemented. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Again this release is completly incompatible with previous ones. But at least the protocol version check is still the same so you are properly disconnected on a version mismatch. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | The changes include at least the following (you could possibly find more in the NEWS files of the packages): |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | === net6 1.3.0rc1 === |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | * Encryption support through GNUTLS |
| | 24 | * Allow the use of the net6 protocol with Unix domain sockets |
| | 25 | * Send keep-alives to detect dropped clients |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | === obby 0.4.0rc1 === |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | * Improved text handling through chunks |
| | 30 | * Guarantee encrypted connections through the new net6 TLS facitity |
| | 31 | * Document storage in memory reduced to one central copy which the application could provide through a template parameter |
| | 32 | * Documents with the same name are suffixed with a number |
| | 33 | * Removal of SHA1 and RSA routines, thus losing the GMP dependency |
| | 34 | * New command subsystem |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | === Gobby 0.4.0rc1 === |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | * Reduced CPU usage and memory footprint through the removal of one supplemental document copy |

| | 40 | * New button to close the chat window |

| | 45 | * Dialogs to host and join sessions are respawned if the attempt failed |
| | 46 | * URLs are now clickable on Windows, OS X and when compiled with Gnome support |
| | 47 | * Emotes through '''/me''' |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | === Sobby 0.4.0rc1 === |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | * XML-based configuration files are now supported (at arbitarary locations) |
| | 52 | * Configuration files could be written by Sobby with all options passed on the command line to ease their initial creation |
| | 53 | * Command subsystem added: |
| | 54 | * Commands could be issues from Gobby's chat console via '''/command''' |
