the second alpha of the drupal 6 development branch of the chatroom module is ready to go. this is a big update. many, many bugs fixed from 6.x-2.0-alpha1, and some nice new features. this branch now has more features than the 6.x-1.0 branch, and although its a long way from stable, is now a lot less likely to kill your kittens.

this is ready for wider testing, but not yet for production use, and there no upgrade path from the 6.x-1.0 branch yet.

  • make the user online list actually update properly
  • preliminary user picture support with imagecache integration for chat online lists
  • add default teaser theming for chat and chatroom nodes, giving useful info in list view
  • many caching fixes, so this is now much easier on the server than the 6.x-1.0 branch
  • new message alerts, only via the browser title bar, but sound is on the todo list
  • many, many bugfixes for the new node-based chats
  • much old crufty code thrown away, slowly making headway to maintainability

release early, release often. some nice new features:

  • private message support
  • kick and ban support
  • basic command reponse notification in the client
  • many bugs fixed, particularly in the command API hooks. chatroom module consumes its own chat command hooks, so other modules should be able to use its code as an example of how to do it.

fourth 6.x-2.0-alpha

more bug fixes, more features.

  • [#619628] - blocks now work in the dev branch
  • chat in popups! (still some todo's in making this configurable.)

private chats and invites are the only remaining features to be added before i switch from alphas to betas, and move to polishing and bug fixing only.

first 6.x-20 beta is up!

closing in on a stable release now. documentation, bug fixes, UI polish and an upgrade path are the only things left before a stable release.
