What's new in 2.8(beta 2)

Status of this beta

  • We are currently in beta 2
  • Multiple room and HTTP proxy connect support are probably the last two main new features we will introduce in this 2.8 release. With all the new features added, version 2.8 will be one of the best upgrade we have in a while
  • Other feature like DCC has been tested for a while and should be stable enough for most of the situation.
  • Beta 2 also added a new parameter "DCCStartPort", that allow webmaster to assign the starting port for sending file, helping user more easily to configure the home firewall if there is any

  • RoomMenuList parameter is added to support the right click action of a room
  • Example: Switch to=/join %$HC,Leave=/part %$HC,Open list=/userlist_open %$HC,Close list=/userlist_close %$HC"
  • if AllowMultiRoom parameter is set to false, applet will switch back to single channel mode like in the previous version.

Added HTTP proxy connection support

  • new parameter of "ProxyAddress" is added"
  • There are currently only two type of proxy supported, namely, the HTTP and SOCKS4
  • e.g value for http proxy http://myproxy.mycomany.com:8080

  • Each menu is seperated by "," and each menu is further seperated by "=". Value on the left of the "=" sign is the message appears on the popup menu, value on the right of the "=" is the actual command.

Added avatar image support

  • A image can be displayed in front of the nickname on the chat screen
  • AvatarList parameter is used to indicate which user will use avatar image.

  • All avatar images must be in the same size and they are controlled by AvatarHeight and AvatarWidth parameters.
  • Currently, nickname jpilot and guest123 is setup to use the avatar. Try to change your nickname to either jpiot or guest123 to see the effect.

Added copy and paste support

  • Copy(and paste) support is added. There are two ways to do that, depends on the parameter of "CopyMethod".
  • If CopyMethod parameter is set to "JVM", the text is directly save into user computer's system clipboard. And can be paste into any other application using application's paste command. This feature require user to accept our digitally signed certificate. For those people who use jirc_pure.zip version, this method will not work for them. See next line for solution.
  • If CopyMethod parameter is set to "JS", the text will be sent to a javascript function called "jirc_copytext" as one of the argument. The javascript function will then print out a simple window with the copied text user selected from chat screen, and user can further copy from that window just like any HTML content.
