Monday May 16 2005:
After months of silence I can now happily announce a new release
of TMSNC, namely 0.2.0. Following changes have been made:
+ Total rewriting of the interface
(kept core functions only)
+ Autologging of conversations
+ Gettext support (translators needed!)
+ Rewritten documentation
+ Shortcut keys (only close conversation so far)
+ Nicer colors in the contact list
+ Green means new message in conversation list
+ Custom nicknames support
+ Outdated configuration file warnings
+ The login screen is now a part of the ncurses interface
+ Automatically answer to the QNG messages from the server
% Removed the library
% Fixed an issue with the authentication
% There will be no more missing messages
0.2.1 will probably be released pretty soon because I'm sure there
are bugs to be discovered as this version is completely re-coded
from scratch (well almost..).

Wednesday Oct 27 2004:
I got resizing to work properly, it will be included in the next release.
I also fixed a bug which caused an error "out of memory" to occur when there
really was no error. For that I have already updated version 0.1.0 so if you
had that problem, try do download v0.1.0 and you'll hopefully be fine.
Monday Oct 11 2004:
Recoding large portions of the code since there are lots of
memory faults related to the excessive use of malloc.
Future versions should be more stable. - Sanoi

+ = Feature added
- = Feature removed

Version 0.1.0b
+ International character support
+ Change status
+ Change nickname
+ Formatted messages
+ Configuration file (~/.tmsnc)
+ In TMSNC Config: initial status and message format
% Don't send empty messages
- Sanoi
Tuesday Sep 28 2004:
Well well, soon we are there, the first
release.. Now you can join conversations, send and recieve messages,
browse your different conversations using a windowing system made in
NCurses' panel library and retrieve notifications when someone logs
in/out. You can also login with a non hotmail/msn account now. I
didn't go with Gf3's layout for the interface, it sure looked nice
but my existing one was too intergrated in the code so it would have
been a hassle to change. Instead I modified my own one. What is
left to do before I will release the source code is to
add the following features: add contact, accept people adding you,
change status, change name and close conversation.
- Sanoi
Friday Sep 10 2004:
I'm accually starting to believe this project
is going somewhere. Gf3 from BlackMatrix Networks (bm3.org) has made
a NCurses interface which will replace my temporary irssi-like one.
I've done lots of new stuff, now you can see whether someone is online/away/idle etc,
you'll get e-mail notifications from Hotmail and TMSNC now also handles
the bitchy challenges sent by the msn server every now and then.
An alpha-release isn't too far away. - Sanoi
Thursday Aug 5 2004:
Major update, load_userlist() is
completed and you are now able to set your presence status again.
We should be ready to start writing the interface soon. - Sanoi
Thursday Jul 1 2004:
Done some work in the load_userlist
function, the timeout now works correctly. - Sanoi
Tuesday Jun 8 2004:
Made some changes in main.c so now tmsnc uses
getopt() to parse the arguments given to the program. Added a check for
updates function. - Sanoi
Sunday Jun 6 2004:
The authentication process now works after
a complete rewrite in the openssl library instead of in libcurl.
You can also set your presence status with success. Currently working
on how to load the user list. - Sanoi
