[bme-develop] Final BeMSN Release Progress

[Simon T. <sim...@ga...>]

Hi All,

I've finally found a bit of time and a bit of motivation and have put 
together a "final" release of BeMSN so we can finally get that out to 
people, and then get CVS cleaned up.

There were initially hundreds of build errors , but in fact not many 
changes needed making to get it to build sucessfully.

I've also fixed a few bugs:
-The windows appearing small in the top left is fixed
-Chat windows don't visibly appear in one pace before instantly moving 
any more
-Default path for the sounds is now "apppath/Sounds/online.wav" etc
-Version number increased to 1.6
-Cryptlib timeout length altered (sometimes it seems cryptDestoySession 
hangs for the length of the timeout on my system - when the timeout was 
2 minutes (as before) the server seems to give up on you and not allow 
you to sign in).
-Update rate of statusbar in chat window altered so people who are 
typing for longer periods don't flash off breifly.

It's currently in the testing phase (I had a crash early on in a 
conversation, not enough people have been talking to me to get me to 
reproduce it though). Once I track that bug down, it should be ready 
for release, hopefully by this weekend. Then we can finally get started 
on bme!
