RELEASE NOTES FOR THE MSN PLUGIN IN KOPETE 0.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the MSN plugin has seen an enormous improvement since the previous
|
|
|
|
release, with many bugs fixed in all aspects of the plugin, most notably
|
|
|
|
the contact list handling and group chats. See the Changelog for a more
|
|
|
|
detailed description of what was changed in this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some issues in MSN are still remaining though. We hope to fix them in the
|
|
|
|
next release, since we think they are not critical enough to delay this
|
|
|
|
release:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- MSN allows you to have multiple groups with the same name, because
|
|
|
|
internally a group ID is used. Kopete currently uses the name as a unique
|
|
|
|
identifier, however, and will likely get a bit confused by this. If you
|
|
|
|
do experience problems, you could join both groups using another MSN
|
|
|
|
client, like the official client, Trillian or Pidgin as a workaround.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Kopete contacts can be at Top-Level and in no groups. MSN doesn't
|
|
|
|
support this freature. The kopete's contact list can differe from server
|
|
|
|
if you have top-level contact
