Linux 2.6 kernel support has now been achieved!

So far stability has been promising, but this release has not been completely tested yet. We hope that anyone who comes across a bug, etc. will post it in the forums.

Now supports end-to-end encryption via Blowfish, minimize to tray, and includes redhat startup scripts.

This is a release-candidate that we took from the latest CVS snapshot. It has not been fully tested, but we are releasing it as most people don't hit the CVS tree and we need some beta testers!

Just to keep people on the edge of their seats, here's what we have planned:

Encryption -- end to end Blowfish (for now) encryption to keep those chats secure! Talk about your boss (not encouraged)...:> completely backwards compatible

OS X port (beta). Working port is coming. We'll need beta testers!

We've released v0.57 of fobbit today. This is a milestone, as it's our first release since David Stanhope's sources were first imported into Sourceforge. This new release adds the ability to minimize fobbit to the system tray in Windows.

Stay tuned, much more is coming, including encrypted sessions!

Nothing new yet, just a copy of the current sources.
