New name and accepted patches

As the headline says, Jabbim transport has a new name. It’s now called Spectrum (according to spectrum of networks it supports and the name also refers to purple color, because we’re using libpurple). I want to also thanks to Florian Thießen from Thiessen IM, because he became the first sponsor of my project. He bought us spectrum.im domain and I’m happy we have also the person who (I hope) will develop the website.

Last few days I was working on my Gloox patches about filetransfer support in order to get them accepted to Gloox svn repository and I’m really happy Jakob pushed them to Gloox-1.0 branch, so the transport will work with Gloox-1.0, which will be released soon.  I want to also thanks to Darkrain42 (Pidgin developer) who helped me a lot with my Abstract-blist-saving patch, which is now in libpurple’s Monotone repository. Thanks to this patch, every UI can now decide how to save Buddy list (It can be stored in MySQL or for example in SQLite). I will write MySQL backend for transport based on this patch in the future, but now I’m working on better filetransfer support.

In order to allow filetransfer straight from XMPP to for example ICQ, I’ve started with new libpurple patch. Actualy, the patch should be done now, but I have to test it, so I’m rewriting filetransfer code in transport now. I hope It will be done in the end of weekend.
