theKompany.com is pleased to announce the sixth beta (version 0.9.6) of our Aethera Messaging and Groupware client for Linux using Qt.   Feb 20th, 23:03 UTC This release debuts the calendar/scheduling section of Aethera using KOrganizer as a plug in, and the update to Korelib 0.8 component technology. Most of the details for the project roadmap can be found at www.thekompany.com/projects/aethera, but this is subject to change as we are constantly researching new features. The web site has also now been updated, so it is now current. Bug reports, suggestions and ideas can be sent to aethera@thekompany.com. Here is what is new and updated in this release:   Aethera has now implemented our multiplatform component architecture with Korelib 0.8 and TINO (TINO Is Not OLE or This Is Not OLE). Plug ins will start to become available in the next 2 weeks. Our second step for implementation of the IMAP protocol is now complete, features include IMAP folder support - you can now create and remove the files locally and remotely. Folder support is using the subscribe/unsubscribe IMAP4 features Create new IMAP accounts using the configuration browser. Aethera can handle multiple POP3 and IMAP4 accounts Full Drag-n-Drop support A large number of bug fixes and usability improvements New GUI design Korganizer has now been integrated as the calendar/scheduling component using Korelib and TINO New menu options for showing and hiding dock widgets A commercial Jabber client plug in is expected to be available the first week of March 2002   One of the advantages to a pure Qt application is that distribution is now far easier than it was before. We've provided a binary in a tarball format, just download the files from www.sf.net/projects/aethera, login as root and do: Using the tarball (absolute path) tar xvfz aethera-0.9.5.tgz -P After installation you can run by typing: /usr/local/bin/aethera We would also like to thank our friends at Sourceforge where the download files and bug tracking is now being hosted at https://sourceforge.net/projects/aethera/. For the time being the CVS is still on theKompany.com servers. (Submitted by Shawn Gordon of theKompany.com) Return to today's headlines.
