tcpfile / News: Recent posts

Since our server is down, and I had implemented some improvements, it was time to release a new version.
It brings Emoticons for the chat window. It also has some performance improvements and some bug fixes. See release notes.

After a long while, an external motivation came and soon after I released version 0.3.6 .
It has updated libraries, a bugfix for a nasty bug and it has just a few new features.

TCPFile now features an all automatic updater! Always enjoy the newest version.
Windows users are helped with a setup.exe, which can help downloading the JRE.
It now also features an away status, which is automatically triggered like in all other IMs. Enjoy, and please give feedback :)

It adds further functionality. Now you can tunnel connections through tcpfile, adding encryption, authentication and zipping to any other TCP Client/Server protocol.
Also there is a speed tab which shows a graphical representation of the up/download speeds.
Go check it out, and please give some feedback!

Version 0.3.3b is out. It adds icons to the taskbar entries, fixes the upnp plugin problems on Linux and another bug on linux which meant 100% cpu usage when the network was down. Also, the default advertiser has been changed back to the more reliable one.
As always, feedback is appreciated.

Version 0.3.3 had a nasty problem, which we did not notice while testing it. We are sorry about that and here is the fix.
But this also means that icons for the tabs are released already. So enjoy and send feedback!

Note that you dont need the skinpack or the upnp plugin if you download the full version, and that both of these plugins have not changed since 0.3.2

We feel that since about version 0.3.1 it has been behaving rather well and that it is now beyond alpha stage. It implements all of the features we wanted when we started - and more :)

The new version includes mysql capabilities (starts up faster when using the mysql server) and upload limits for each friend.
Also, a friend can download a file that you are still downloading. If he has the rights to do so.
Again, send us some feedback!
Enjoy

New version is up. Most notable features include skins and a native starter for the windows platform.
3 Versions are up:
lite means: Only the hashplugin is included.
full means: Includes the additional skins and the upnp plugin.
And the third release is for java 1.5, which is not recommended. It is only available in the light variant, but you can add the plugins yourself.
Enjoy and please send us feedback!

This new version features:
Public shares, more reliable downloads, hotkeys for workspace profiles, etc.

This version provides (besides some bugfixes):
Basic upload table.
New setting: Double-click on buddy opens external chat window.

After almost 8 months now we are finally ready to release the second version. We have almost changed every line of code, made it more capable, usable, maintainable and reliable.
Also we plan to update this version, unlike the old one which we tore up completely right after the release. We hope you enjoy it!

It is up!
We worked for about 2 months on this little project, vastly improved our skills so you can test and use this little program.
So have fun, write feature requests and recommend it to your buddies.

The Javadoc of our project is now available under:
http://tcpfile.sourceforge.net/javadoc/
Interesting will be the description of the options saved in settings.xml:
http://tcpfile.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/tcpfile/main/Options.html

In order to keep the project tidy, the main program was moved to the svn folder "client". Please check-out this folder to run it.
