WARNING: Client authentication makes framechat more secure but exercise caution. Do not allow public access to your installation of framechat! New in 2.0 <ul> <li>New nodes ticker! <li>Rep change ticker with history! <li>Client login & quit for better security. <li>Create & edit optional external config file. <li>Tools control panel to see & set parameters. <li>/ignore and /unignore and see who's being ignored. <li>/logout and /login implemented. <ul> <li>Not in the userlist but still see chat. <li>All links to perlmonks become logged out. <li>History still functions if enabled. <li>Logout disables node title lookup.</ul> Improved: <li>Faster thanks to less print statements. <li>More robust error handling (esp. xml parsing). <li>XP nodelet now shows xp gain and loss messages (Ack!) <li>inbox/launchpad/newnode frame can remember state. <li>Notes added to update notification. Fixed in 2.0: <li>Bug in link parser that caused italic history after an unclosed i tag. <li>Last \$norm should now appear when code updated. <li>Code is less redundant and more readable. Fixed in 2.01: <li>A new node with 0 rep showed +0 change (a printf feature). <li>New nodes and check update didn't work if proxy in use. <li>New nodes loadtime was 1 second off. Fixed in 2.02: <li>Empty document error if history file for present day didn't exist. <li>IIS breakage addressed with a new config var: $broken. <li>Change to talk frame enables submit with Tab+Enter sequence (thanks grinder). <li> tags would italicize cb text, oops. <li>Rep related data files now 50% smaller. <li>Added config file syntax status feedback and warnings. <li>Improved the help and tools sections. <li>NEW: Node rep history graph! Fixed in 2.03: <li>control chrs in chat xml not being stripped due to missing /d modifier on tr in sub fixxml. <li>client authentication erroneously succeeded if username and password not defined. Fixed in 2.04: <li>Repaired the chat frame and norm parser to conform with changes at perlmonks. <li>Added support for the latest shortcut tags: pad, kobe, jargon, perldoc. If you use an external config file these need to be added to the @tags array so they appear in the pulldown menu in the input frame, as well as a few items added to the %launch_urls hash. </ul> To run framechat under mod_perl use OeufMayo's [id://87842|mod_perl patch].
