Updates...
I am currently targeting December 21, 2003 for the next release of Mercury. I have finalized the feature set and finished about half of those features. Here are some of the more interesting items on the list:
- Places support. This means that you will be able to join in meetings and participate in the chat portion of them. There are some barriers I haven't worked out yet in being able to take advantage of the whiteborad and the application sharing capabilities out there.
- Preferences support. This will allow you to choose the colors for text in chats, colors for identify the status of the user in the contact list, the ability to set a time to mark you as inactive (more on this in a moment), and the ability to indicate whether Mercury should try and auto-login if you were disconnected without requesting a logout.
- Inactive timer. Will set you to inactive after the passage of a certain amount of time.
- Auto-reconnect. I think its self explanatory.
- More alert sounds and the ability to set those sounds via the preferences menu.
In e-mails and in some posts inquiries have been made about donations, I have added a donations link in the right sidebar so that you can make donations if you think Mercury warrants it.
