Crazy stuff

OS4 is a blast to work with and I have gotten it to do some really crazy stuff to have Monal run seamlessly in the background. Hopefully these aren't bugs in the beta and   Apple will allow it.

Final Change log for 1.05

These are the changes in 1.05. This will be the final 3.x release. This should show up in iTunes soon.  I have already started programming for the multi tasking in 4.x . The next release will be a huge update and will drop as soon as 4.0 is released.


1.05 changelog

1. fixed all bugs from crash logs, made some speed improvements
2. removed the confusing chat logs window edit button
3. fixed bug where names of users signing in sometimes showed up in other chats
4. opening conversation shows last 10 not 20 messages (faster load)
5. the input box now allows multiple line input and expands when tapped on
6. input box does not delete unsent messages  when tapping outside of the box
7. Graphical  emoticons in chat
8. added a basic  iPad interface
9. Added button to quickly clear all conversation logs

Ipads

The iPhone Monal app already works on the iPad and I see from the crash logs that there are quite a few of you using it. The next release will be a universal application that takes advantage of the added space. The native iPad version doesnt look much different right now, I'm still learning all the new features.  It's a start.

Emoticons

Sorry it too so long.

Multi tasking.

Monal runs in the background for a while on OS4. You should be able to switch back and forth between chat and other programs.

1.05 in the works

1.05 moving along well. Here is the change log so far for the next release.

Happy Birthday Monal

It's been a whole year since the initial 1.0 release of  Monal (then called SworIM) was pushed out to the app store.  Thank you  all for the feedback, testing and generally helping me improve the software.

It's come a long way in the past year and is going to keep improving in 2010.

Iphone OS4 And More Server Support

I can confirm that Monal 1.04 works fine in OS4.  While it doesn't fall under the class of programs allowed to multi task, I am planning on adding fast switch and  task completion which should hopefully allow you to switch between programs quickly without losing your connection.

Work on Monal 1.05 will resume this week. Before OS4 comes out I want to get another version out that is focused on bug fixes and  server compatibility.  If you are aware of public servers that do not work, let me know in the comments section. If it is a private server and you can give me access to test, contact me at anurodhp@SPAM.gmail.com (remove the spam) with instructions. I will make sure it works in the next release.
