I'm keen to release v0.5 soonish, but wondering how people feel about the frequency of updates?
While I don't imagine keeping up this frequency, I am thinking hatching out too often could be annoying for people. So I'm thinking of putting a minimum time between update to say a week?
fix. If it's urgent send it out sooner, else if not urgent but changes reflect a fairly significant change then I'd work to something less demanding
in the way of any timetable. Probably best not to have a timetable :)
Stuff that's coming in v0.5: full screen editor, interbbs oneliners, inter-node messaging and some more tweaks :)If signifigant things happen make it 0.6 and onwards, if its a minor fix maybe call it 0.51.
I think the freq will depend on when you feel there's new stuff to
share /

Agree, the best software is pushed out "when it's ready". :)

all it 0.51.

Does that sound ok? It might be longer than a week, but no sooner,
unless there is some emergency security bug?

Looking forward to this!
Hi guys

I'm a user who's poking around with Talisman but not running it facing
the inter
net.
I'm thankful for all you do, apam.
PS, I dig that you call into my board to see what I'm doing. Thanks.

Also when getting to the end of screen, sometimes it doesn't refresh right..
I'll get it eventually I guess.
I'm sure you will. Too bad you couldn't just use Magiedit but
I guess that was never written for windows.
apam wrote to Tiny <=-
You can use magiedit on the linux version, I was using it here to start with. Magiedit has it's own problems though, and the code was getting
to be a big mess.
Little things like that.. haven't had a crash in a while though, so
that's good :)
Gotcha. If I have time I may try to cram a dos message editor in
there
as a door... think it would work?

This maybe a dumb question... could one use the old (or current, I
think.) iceEd
it? I always liked that editor and if it would plugin with TALISMAN
that would b
e cool.
You might be able to on Windows 32 bit, but not on a pi. The dosbox
method I mentioned earlier won't work too well if someone's trying to write a message on 2 nodes at a time, which is more likely than running the same door.
apam wrote to Tiny <=-
Yeah, it should. I guess you'd have to use netfoss etc.
It is supposed to use QuickBBS style for the external editor, and it
puts the MSGTMP / MSGINF in the temp/[node]/ folder.
So you'd just have your external editor line in the talisman ini to
point to a batch file that loads up netfoss and the dos editor.

I've looked everywhere for an example of this.... ? LOL Sorry I
admit
to being dense at times. :)

I'm not sure how the netfoss part works, but the batchfile is called
just like a door, ie with %1 being node number and %2 being socket.
Sorry I wasn't clear. in talisman.ini what is the keyword? is it
editor = "batchfile" ?
