libmsn is a C++ library for Microsoft's MSN Messenger service. It provides a high-level
|
||
|
|

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libmsn is licensed under the terms of the GPL. Please see the file `COPYING' included
|
||
|

Whats New?
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
In 4.0: libmsn 4.0 was refactored to support MSNP15 protocol.
|
||
|
|
Many features were added to this version, like offline messaging, file transfer with
|
||
|
|
preview, nugdes, custom emoticons, ink and winks sending and receiving, avatar support,
|
||
|
|
address book management with soap actions, and so on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In 3.2: With the release of libmsn 3.2 comes support for multiple simultaneous connections. The
|
||
|
|
callback mechanism has been refactored so that it is easy to distinguish between each
|
||
|
|
connection's callbacks. A large number of bug fixes have also been rolled in to this
|
||
|
|
release.
|
||
|
|
In 3.1.1: libmsn 3.1.1 is primarily a bug fix release. Changes include fixing up the #include's
|
||
|
|
so that it compiles cleanly on a wider range of platforms, working file transfer
|
||
|
|
support and improved error handling.
|
||
|
|
In 3.1: libmsn 3.1 brings support for server-side groups for managing buddies. It also
|
||
|
|
features rewritten network code that should help reduce CPU usage, and the amount
|
||
|
|
of time spent waiting for network data.
|
||
|
|
In 3.0b2: 3.0b2 tidies up the external API to be more consistent with the rest of libmsn.
|
||
|
|
The build system has also been adjusted so that the same program, msntest, is
|
||
|
|
built.
