VERSION 2.0 released (2.0.3 server and 2.0.1 client - 1/4/2002
| Full Duplex. This feature will allow multiple people to talk at the same time. Note: There will be no blending of the audio. This means that if 3 people speak at the same time, the audio can sound significantly garbled. This feature is designed for use when there are only 2 people in the room, or 2 people speaking at the same time. This feature will also be configurable at the server on a per room basis. |
| Moderator Only Room. This mutes the room when no moderator is present preventing unauthorized use when the moderator is not there. |
| Moderator Override. When the moderator hits CTRL-O he is immediately placed at the top of the queue |
| Personal Home Page. Allow the user (or the server) to configure a personal home page URL. This would then be available under the user menu (right click on a user name). When a user clicks on the menu, they are taken to the configured personal home page for that user. |
| Disable Private Text Chat. The ability to disable private text chat for non-moderators. NOTE: This change will require that you re-enable private text chat for your rooms if you want it. |
| Ability to disable moderator and peer-to-peer features. This gives the room/server administrator the ability to configure individual moderator and peer to peer options, enabling or disabling them. |
| Audio alerts (Doorbell). Having a notification of when someone enters or leaves a room while using Chatterbox. This would be an optional configurable client feature to play a WAV file stored in the C:\chatterbox directory. The WAV files would not be shipped the client to keep the download small. The wav files would have to be placed in the C:\chatterbox directory by the user. Any WAV files can be used and must be named "enter.wav" and "leave.wav" to denote when a user enters or leaves a room. |
| Text Replacement. A dictionary file that will replace text / aliases that contain foul or offensive language with something else. |
| IP Address Logging. Chat manager (and statistics log entries) shows IP address of users logged in to make it easier for you to track users and perform traceroutes and pings if needed. |
| Authenticated Remote Management. Allow the chat manager to remotely configure the server |
| Browser Configuration. Allow the chat server to be configured through a web browser |
| Windows XP. The new XP release has new internal APIs that are not consistent with Windows98/ME/2000 to include changing some of the hooks that we use for application sharing. We have done preliminary testing and so far it appears stable. |
Bugs Fixed:
| (Client) Peer to Peer File Transfer, aborting wasn't very clean, there were a couple of instances where the abort didn't work. This has been fixed. |
| (Client) Allow " in the text chat. |
