1.0 Public Beta

9 posts in this topic

Please note that this list is very basic, an extensive to do list is available in the beta/donator forum. :)

These features will be looked at, and attempted to be coded into one of the 1.0 beta versions:

  • Update IP on startup
  • Update IP every x minutes
  • Update check converted to News type system (informs user of new version and community updateds)
  • Check Settings (with improvements)
  • Auto detect IP
  • Multiple away messages
  • Extra connection speed tags in General settings (for old DC++ way)
  • Winamp toolbar (no winamp window)
  • Keyboard shortcuts to menu options
  • Windows > Disconnect Filelists, Offline, etc
  • Favourite Hubs sorting
  • Password protection
  • Enhanced tab handling (FulDC)
  • First time setup guide
  • Have /example main chat commands (extensive /stats, /google, /apexdc, etc)
  • Permanent main chat and PM ignore lists
  • Nerdcore, PeerWeb and other emoticon packs
  • Winamp spam in dimmed colour (so it doesnt stand out)
  • Disable sound in PM only
  • Enhanced /clear commands (including a clear chat button)
  • Super seeding (requires re-write)
  • More to be added

These features above do not need to be requested again. We're already going to take a look at them for 1.0. We plan to re-arrange the settings page to be more organised, improve the language so beginners understand certain settings, with a possibility of having a basic and advanced view.

This topic will be updated regulary. Last updated: 17th March 05.

Hi Lee,

I was wondering what does it mean with Password Protection? Does it mean that you can set a password for certain folders, so if you user want to download stuff from that folder, he needs to enter the password first? This would be cool ;)

Hi e-mo, this feature means you can password protect the application in the system tray. So without that password, somebody cannot close or open it. If you want to see the feature you suggested above, feel free to post it in this forum as a seperate topic. :D

Excellent, now I don't have to worry about anybody seeing me downloading 5gigs of porn. Why couldn't Bearshare think of that?

Because everything pails in comparison to the wonder that will be ApexDC++? :blushing: The vast majority of features that Crise intends to implement into the client are ones suggested by the users, Bearshare is most likely a less community based client so the users don't always get what they want I guess. I guess I may be a bit biased though. ;)

I wonder if here is the "clear main chat" feature, because there's a possibility in peerwebdc++ to have such a button, but I can't find this feature in Apex..
