BUGFIX: Don't send empty messages

There is a known bug that will occur when you try to login with a non-msn/hotmail account on some architectures. On my computers it works fine (Macintosh PPCs) but people on x86 have reported problems. I'll try to fix this until next release, but it is hard to do without a x86 machine so please donate one (just kidding :P).

First Release

We've now released an alpha version of TMSNC. You probably want to wait for the beta because it is unstable and many features are missing.

Note: The "/help" command in the alpha release is incomplete, you use "/window close" to close a window, "/window <number>" or TAB to switch between your windows and "/chat <address>" to initiate a chat session.

Soon alpha release

After developing tmsnc on some of my spare time over the last months I've soon done enough to be able to release an alpha version of the project. However, there is still much to do left and I don't know how long it will take before you'll see the first release. The client will first come with a temporary, irssi-like, interface (ncurses).
