New in Smuxi 1.0 (Jul 20, 2015)

  • MESSAGE PERSISTENCE:
  • One if the biggest drawbacks of the IRC protocol ever was that messages can't be retrieved from the IRC server because the IRC server is simply relaying messages to the connected clients. So, if an IRC client is freshly started and connects it starts to receive new messages, but all message you had received before are no longer available. This always made IRC in a way "volatile" unlike other communication systems like email where messages are relayed and stored on the client side. One common approach for IRC clients is to store log files in a text file. This is a simple feature and gives the user the possibility to read older conversations. Smuxi also supports text file logging like other IRC clients but it has a big user experience drawback as you need to open the file from the disk outside of the IRC client.
  • In Smuxi 1.0 messages sent and received are now stored on the disk in a way they can automatically be retrieved/loaded when you restart Smuxi. It is like you have never closed Smuxi! This feature was already available in Smuxi for some time as a technical preview and it used the Db4o object database, but we were never happy about the performance neither with the stability so it always stayed an optional feature you need to enable. This year we tried a new message buffer backend using the famous SQLite database and it works much faster and stable as a rock. So finally we can enable this feature by default because it just works and enhanced your experience. We hope you enjoy it.
  • USER INTERFACE ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Synced message markers
  • position of the message marker is now remembered across restarts and frontend reconnects
  • Message counter
  • Single application instance support
  • SCRIPTING ENHANCEMENTS:
  • New Hook Points:
  • Smuxi 1.0 supports with the following new hook points:
  • engine/protocol-manager/on-presence-status-changed/ This hook point is raised when the presence status of a protocol manager changes. This happens for example when an IRC connection toggles the away state.
  • engine/session/on-event-message/ This hook point raises event messages that usually begin with "-!-". This can be useful to track state changes that are shown as a message without having a dedicated hook point for it.
  • engine/session/command-$cmd/ This hook point is raised on the engine side for commands, e.g. /some_command that isn't handled by the frontend or engine built-in commands. This is useful for commands that should be available for all frontends and isn't specific to the frontend environment.
  • NEW PLUGINS:
  • The following new plugins are supported by Smuxi 1.0:
  • topic-diff: Shows the word differences of the topic after topic changes.
  • away-nick: Automatically appends and removes $AWAY_SUFFIX to/from the nick name when you go away using the /away command or by disconnecting all frontends from the smuxi-server.
  • system-info: Shows system info. Includes system kernel version, distro name, and CPU vendor information.
  • now-playing: This plugin is not new but was rewritten in Python to get rid of the spaghetti code monster which was written in Bash.
  • UPDATED TRANSLATIONS:
  • Smuxi should now be in your language, including:
  • French
  • Czech
  • Chinese Simp
  • Swedish
  • Danish
  • German

New in Smuxi 0.11.1 (Apr 29, 2015)

  • User Interface Enhancements:
  • The chat list can be shrunken. This is especially handy with XMPP/Jabber and long group chat identifiers.
  • The highlight counter is now a separate column. This enhances the vertical alignment with other highlights and guarantees to be visible even if the chat name was truncated.
  • Multi Identity Support:
  • Smuxi cares for user feedback. Multi identity support was the most voted feature and thus it has been implemented! Now you can please your schizo^Wdesire to use different nicks, users and real names depending on the server. Simply edit the server in preferences and change the details.
  • Message Patterns:
  • Everybody knows text can be boring because it is all just text. Nothing can sidetrack you except reading that bare text. Text often has recurring patterns from which something useful and interactive can be created.
  • RFCs are a recurring pattern with a distinct number behind it and are real references to something in the internet (collection of protocol specifications).
  • So I would usually fire up a browser tab, copy/paste or type RFC2812 into my favorite search engine and click the first hit. Then I'd reply to the question afterwards. But with Smuxi's message patters, it turns RFC2812 into a link on which you can simply click to launch the relevant document.
  • Wow this is very cool, but isn't this already happening with http URLs and email addresses? Exactly! Why shouldn't more information be used to create useful things from it? Smuxi message patterns allow you to define text patterns that are transformed into clickable links. This can be used for RFCs, CVEs, bug report numbers (#XXX), git commit hashes and much more. Make good use of your creativity!
  • By default Smuxi comes with built-in message patterns for:
  • URLs
  • heuristic URLs (not starting with http:// etc)
  • email addresses
  • RFCs
  • CVEs
  • Debian Security Advisories (DSA)
  • Many popular bug trackers (GNU, GCC, kernel, Launchpad, freedesktop, GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Debian, Redhat, Novell, Xamarin, openSUSE, Mozilla, Samba, SourceForge, CPAN, boost, Claws and Smuxi)
  • Hooks Enhancements:
  • A bug was fixed that prevented hooks from issuing more than one command
  • New hook points:
  • engine/session/on-group-chat-person-added
  • engine/session/on-group-chat-person-removed
  • engine/session/on-group-chat-person-updated
  • New hook variables:
  • CMD
  • CMD_PARAMETER
  • CMD_CHARACTER
  • PROTOCOL_MANAGER_PRESENCE_STATUS: Unknown, Offline, Online, Away
  • Twitter Enhancements:
  • As of 14 Jan 2014, Twitter disallows unencrypted HTTP requests which broke Smuxi's Twitter support. Smuxi is now making exclusively encrypted requests (HTTPS) and thus works with Twitter again.
  • JabbR (Beta) Enhancements:
  • Messages now raise Smuxi hooks
  • The Validate certificate setting is now correctly honored.
  • Updated Translations:
  • Smuxi should now be in your language, including initial complete Dutch
  • Behind the Scenes:
  • New Smuxi git repository @ GNOME
  • Cleaner XMPP code
  • Smuxi's STFL text frontend is doing a graceful shutdown on quit

New in Smuxi 0.10 (Apr 4, 2014)

  • GNOME Frontend Enhancements:
  • Tabs replaced with chat list. The list is grouped by server and sorted alphabetically. Private (person to person) chats are sorted after public (group) chats.
  • Man pages included for smuxi-frontend-gnome (Calvin Buckley)
  • window command now cycles through tabs with same name (Oliver Schneider)
  • The Windows installer was switched to GTK# 2.12.22 which is more stable than the previous used 2.12.20 version.
  • Adding and editing remote engines works now correctly on Windows and OS X.
  • Screenshot of Smuxi 0.10 on GNOME3 Screenshot of Smuxi 0.10 on Ubuntu Unity
  • Screenshot of Smuxi 0.10 on Windows 7 Screenshot of Smuxi 0.10 on Mac OS X
  • Screenshot of Smuxi 0.9's text frontend
  • Text Frontend Enhancements:
  • Messages no longer sometimes get sent multiple times
  • Rare crashes with scrolling were fixed
  • Man pages included for smuxi-frontend-stfl (Calvin Buckley)
  • Smuxi Hooks / Scripts / Plugins Support
  • After years of waiting we are more than happy to finally announce the added scripting support in Smuxi! You are probably thinking right now "so which scripting language is it?! C#? VB.NET? JavaScript? Perl? Python? Ruby? Maybe even PHP?" and here comes the best part: ALL OF THEM AND MORE! More? What else there would be... well, if you really want you can write Smuxi hooks in C, C++ or even assembler
  • "How is this possible?"
  • It's Magic! No, just kidding. This is pure Unix technology taken from the 70s ported to a powerful messaging client. If you know what Git hooks, Nagios checks/plugins or CGI scripts are, then you already know what Smuxi hooks are, if you don't then continue reading this paragraph. Any executable program in a special location (hook points) will be executed when a specific event happens, like receiving a message. This program gets all information passed as environment variables, like who send the message (SENDER), what was the message (MSG), when was it received (MSG_TIMESTAMP_UNIX) etc. This program is also able to execute Smuxi commands by writing hook commands to the standard output.
  • Currently there are 2 main types of Smuxi hooks:
  • protocol-manager hooks: these are mainly events like message-received/sent that the various protocol managers (IRC, Twitter, XMPP, etc) can raise
  • command hooks: these are added Smuxi commands running in the frontend, so you can add /some_cool_command to Smuxi
  • Smuxi hooks are maintained in the smuxi-hooks git repository. So if you want to share your written hook simply create a pull request against that repository on GitHub, other Smuxi users will be very thankful! Right now thre are only 2 proof-of-concept hooks available:
  • now-playing: adds a /np command to Smuxi which shows the currently playing song/video of Banshee using MPRIS2 on D-Bus or YouTube (Chrome only).
  • tinyurl-resolver: resolves all shortened URLs of t.co, bit.ly, etc to the full URL. This was originally an irssi plugin written in Perl.
  • Installing Hooks:
  • "Wow, I am completely amazed, but how can I install hooks?" For now you will need to either download the files of the hook into the same location into $HOME/.local/share/smuxi/hooks or by cloning the git repository and symlinking the files. Here is an example for each method:
