Psi 0.11 released
October 15, 2007, 9:01 pmAfter over a year of hard work, we are thrilled to finally release 0.11. A lot of stuff happened over all this time, including a complete rework of the codebase to support the newest Qt4 library. Some of the changes in 0.11 include:
* Reworked account registration process (including proper support for XEP-0077 (In-band registration))
* Finished support for XEP-0004 (Data Forms) by supporting forms in messages. (thanks to Roelof Naude)
* Added support for JEP-0070 (Verifying HTTP Requests via XMPP).
* Customizable shortcuts (thanks to Ephraim)
* Added spell checking (thanks to Ephraim). Currently only aspell is supported on non-Macs.
* Added option to automatically set the resource (using the hostname)
* Added new default Stellar3 iconset
* Added support for JEP-138 (Stream Compression)
* Added support for using JEP-33 (Extended Stanza Addressing) to multicast messages to multiple users. Use option.enable-multicasting to enable it.
* Added ‘Show status message’ toggle. There is a hidden option to put status messages under the nickname (at the cost of 2 extra pixels when no status message is shown)
* Support for Bookmark Storage (JEP-0048), where bookmarked conferences are auto-joined. No UI is provided for creating bookmarks (yet).
* Better error messages, including error condition mappings (JEP-0086)
* Support dynamically changing priority
* Improved PGP error messages
* Hiding the deprecated protocol selector for service discovery by default. Use option.ui.show-deprecated.service-discovery.protocol-selector to re-enable it.
* New options system (see options.xml)
* Receiving support for vCard-Based Avatars (JEP-0153)
* Support for Multi-User-Chat (JEP-0045)
* Preliminary support for User Nickname (JEP-0172)
* Preliminary support for Roster Item Exchange (JEP-0144)
* Psi now uses the Qt4(>=4.2.3) and QCA2 libraries, replacing the Qt3 and QCA1 requirements.
* “Privacy List” support in the account dialog.
* Support for JEP-0050 (Ad-hoc commands)
* Preliminary support for JEP-0163 (Personal Eventing Protocol)
* Preliminary support for JEP-0146 (Remote Controlling Clients)
* Large parts of the codebase have been restructured.
* Fixed a chat room bug where subject/topic changes were not shown.
* Mac OS X builds are now universal binaries, supporting the new Intel based Macs.
* Support for JEP-85 (Chat State Notifications).
* Support for JEP-0115 (Entity Capabilities).
* There is now a config.xml option to make some windows use the brushed metal theme on Mac OS X.
* Window opacity support is now present for all three supported platforms.
* Fixed Unicode URL opening bug #510
* Auto-reconnect accounts on wakeup
* Copy-pasting with emoticons now works
* Fixed issue #263 where emoticons would disappear in a reply or quote
* History index is rebuilt faster
* Configure toolbars merged into main preferences dialog
* Moving tooltips
* MingW32 compiler support (Coupled with the open source Qt4 Windows library this now allows completely free building of Psi on Windows)

Great job people! Nice to see the new version of my favourite Jabber client. Too bad I didn’t have much time to update the Slovenian translation. I’ll try to do it as soon as possible.
Cool, let’s hope translations will be available really soon. 
By the way, if you want to spread the word, digg this announcement (see my website link).
Great work! Can’t wait to update my client although I use darcs version so no too many changes expect….
Wow! nice nice!

I just updated to the new cool version 0.11 … nice job!
I was updating to get rid of a problem, but the problem persists.
I wanted to let you know by your wiki, but I get errors from your (the Psi project) website on the wiki page and others, so I write here instead.
The problem is that Psi seems to spawn new chat sessions for every new line of chat, while chatting to the same person.
Most Jabber clients, including Psi, handles this, as they only allow a single chat thread (chat window) between 2 persons.
It is however importent to me that the chat thread session (id) is not dumped by every message, as I am writing bot software and want to easily be statefull in the chat sessions.
My setup is running the Jabber service on Wildfire, using Smack (API) for the Java bot and using Psi for the clients.
When I use Exodus instead of Psi as a client, the session sticks to many messages, instead of new sessions getting created for every message.
This leads me to conclude (maybe premature) that Psi has a problem.
I have found no mentioning of this on the net, and I see that when just chatting between 2 Jabber clients, this “bug” with the sessions is invisible, due to the nature of the clients.
I am sorry for bugging you, especially if I am wrong!
I think Psi is great and I dont want to replace it by some other client, even when it might be a quick solution to my problem.
Best regards
Jonatan Hertel
