Mr. Message
a native AIM client for OS/2
Project News
June 8, 2009
New release available!
New features for this release:
- This was a bugfix release and has no new features at this time.
Fixed/changed for this release:
- Fixed a login problem caused by additional data being sent by the
server when I am expecting BOS services information.
- Moved compiler platform to OpenWatcom 1.8.
- Makefile and build distribution process improvements.
I'm putting out a call to the user community to help me bring the
documentation up to date. Here is my Usenet posting in case you
are interested and missed it:
I know my
next release of Mr. Message is a bit overdue from where I predicted,
but I've been making loads of usability improvements, so I hope it will
be worth the wait.
In order to
speed up the cycle, I'd like to ask the user community for someone who
can put together a nice set of user documentation for me. I'd like to
redo the preliminary docs that I have on my web page, but it is tedious
work for me and I'd rather spend the time making improvements to the
code if possible. But without some good documentation, users
might miss out on some features that they could be using and enjoying.
So it is necessary in my eyes, but will slow me down quite a bit.
If someone in
the user community is willing to work with me to create some
well-illustrated, well-organized documentation web pages (plain HTML,
nothing crazy) I would be very grateful, and would give an
acknowledgement in my ReadMe and on the web pages themselves.
Please put
together some preliminary ideas and pages and send them to me if you
are interested. You can start with my current documentation,
update some of the pictures and add to them where you feel appropriate.
Also separating my current doc page into multiple, well-organized
pages with links is something I'm looking for. If I like what I
see (and don't worry, I'm easily impressed ;-)), I'll send you my
latest beta code so we can bring the docs up to date with the latest
features as they are released.
Send me a ZIP
file with your ideas. All entries appreciated. Thanks!
