Features
- emoticons
- "user is typing" notifications
- nudges (they shake the window just like on Windows)
- logging/log reloading
- utf8 character conversion using codesets.library
- sound alerts
- rudimentary file transfers (it uses the older protocol though, so newer clients wont work)
- editable usernames
- add/remove and rename users
- personal messages
- optional tabbed chat window
- ARexx interface (read the docs for more info)
Known problems (roughly):
- Sometimes the SSL stuff fails when trying to connect, so the only thing you can do is keep clicking connect after it fails each time
- Newly added contacts arent added to the list, you need to reconnect to see them
- File transfers are very hit and miss. Check your Settings in Sabre to see what port range is used, and then make sure your firewall allows those ports. But it may still fail even with the ports open. I will work on it!
- Sometimes outgoing file transfers report during mid-transfer: "The file transfer was unsuccessful because your computer is out of disk space. Try deleting some files, and then ask the sender to try the transfer again."
