Tkabber Description

A free and open source client for the Jabber instant messaging system Tkabber is developed in Tcl/Tk, works on many platforms and it has been tested on Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and Windows 98/2000/XP.Tkabber provides a Tcl/Tk interface to the Jabber/XMPP instant messaging and presence service.Tcl/Tk is a graphical scripting language that runs on the Unix, Windows, and Macintosh platforms. The choice of Tcl/Tk for a Jabber client is three-fold:· it is portable: once you install a Tcl/Tk interpreter on your system, the Tkabber script "just runs" — without having to compile anything;· it is customizable: Tkabber reads a configuration file when it starts that tells it the settings of various parameters; and,· it is extensible: the configuration file is actually a Tcl script, so you can replace or augment entire portions of Tkabber (if you're so inclined). Here are some key features of "Tkabber": Sessions: · TCP and HTTP-polling session transports · XMPP SRV and TXT DNS-records handling · hashed passwords · SASL authentication · encrypted sessions (if you install an optional extension) · compressed sessions (if you install an optional extension) · login via SOCKS4a, SOCKS5 or HTTPS proxy · user-defined hooks for connection establishment and release · XMPP/Jabber MIME type Messages: · privacy rules · signed/encrypted messages (if you install an optional extension) · file transfers (HTTP, SOCKS bytestream, DTCP and IBB transports) · groupchat (GroupChat-1.0 and Multi-User Chat conferencing protocols) · headline messages · message events · completions of nick and commands · hyperlinks · emoticons · user-defined hooks for chat window events Presence: · signed presence (if you install an optional extension) · avatars · browsing · groupchat and roster invitations · conference room bookmarks · annotations about roster items · vCards · user-defined hooks for presence changes Windowing: · configurable look-and-feel via a resources database · unicode · tabbed/non-tabbed interface · sound notifications · nested roster groups · for Unix: auto-away, spell checking, KDE or freedesktop docking, and WMaker icons · for Windows: auto-away, and taskbar icons Requirements: · Tcl/Tk version 8.3.3 (or later, Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 or later is recommended) · tcllib version 1.2 (or later, tcllib 1.8 or later is required for SRV and TXT DNS-records support). · BWidget 1.3 (or later) What's New in This Release: · New default sound theme by Serge Yudin · Added new plugins: quotelastmsg, singularity, stripes · Many fixes and enhancements
