Hey
This is a testmail in disguise :) I've renamed my crashmail2 fork and
have included it in the Magicka repositiory, so just want to make
sure it works.
What's new:
* Build System - You don't need to build individual tools now,
everything is build including dependencies in one go.
* Broadcast Protocol now sends JSON messages - I'm planning to add
broadcast support to my crashmail fork as well so you can get a nice
desktop notification anywhere on your LAN when mail is tossed.
* NetBSD support - I now have everything building and running on
NetBSD (as well as FreeBSD, macOS and Linux)
What's Next:
* Chat overhaul - I plan on ripping out the IRC client chat system
and putting in a new JSON based multi BBS chat system (much like ERC
on enigma 1/2, and like a simplified version of MRC)
Thoughts & Ideas:
* I liked the idea of Instant messaging in a BBS and am toying with
the idea of a built in XMPP server or something similar that would
allow instant messages across the bbs, to a supported client and
inter bbs. Not sure how it will work though.
* New Mail Scan Overhaul - I'd like to have a better new mail scan
which actually shows the mail messages rather than just a summary of
what's new.
That's about all for now :)
