Download SILC Client 1.1 beta 6

For secure online conferences you can use the Secure Internet Live Conferencing protocol, better known by its abbreviation SILC. The design is focused from the start to create a secure environment and includes many possibilities of IRC and IM protocols. Support for multimedia messages is available and it can also be used for video and audio conferences. SILC Client, as the name suggests, is a client application for setting up a connection to a SILC environment. The developers have already released the sixth beta version of SILC Client 1.1 with the following announcement:

Version 1.1 beta 6:

• Copy SILC Plugin’s libfe_common_silc.so to libfe_silc.so so that user’s don’t have to do it manually.
• Fixed channel and server entry freeing in client library.
• Do not allow stopping client before it has been started.
• Fixed formatted nickname renaming to rename also irssi’s nicklist (/NAMES etc).
• Fixed SILC Plugin crash when stopping client library before it has been started.
• For SILC Client and SILC Server check for 1.1 Toolkit in configure.
• Added better library linking flags and orders for SILC Client.

Version 1.1 beta 5:

• Add hooks for Irssi 0.8.11 module functions.
• Fixed passphrase authentication with server.
• Fixed passphrase authentication as responder.
• Changed SilcAskPasphrase and SilcGetAuthMeth callbacks to return data as const.
• Fixed timeout calculation in Symbian scheduler.
• Do not uninitialize umthreads atomic int in finish but in free. Fixes crash on any platform using atomic operations using mutexes (like Symbian).
• Fixes Symbian scheduler wakeup synchronization.
• Fixed nickname formatting to handle already formatted nicknames better.
• Added “foo#2 appears as foo” support to SILC Client when user leaves or quits and one formatted nickname remain.
• Send SilcChannelEntry to application in SILC_NOTIFY_TYPE_SIGNOFF.
• Fixed silc_show_public_key to not free public key in case of failure.
• Porting Toolkit to Symbian. It should work while some sporadic odd crashes remain. However I was able to run mybot on SILCNet. Basically tested scheduler, net routines, socket routines, threads and some other utility routines.
• Show realname and email address from public key when verifying cached public keys with GETKEY.
• Include SILC Plugin theme.
• Include SILC Plugin /silc command help.
• Create channels before joining them.
• Fixed channel private key listing with /key.
• Fixed the public headers from anonymous structures.
• Changed silc_buffer_*len macros to inline functions.
• Fixed nickname format parsing in JOIN notify handling and in WHOIS command reply.

Version 1.1 beta 4:

• Added SILC_VERIFY macro which is equivalent to SILC_ASSERT but is compiled always in.
• Use SILC_VERIFY in FSM macros instead of SILC_ASSERT which is not there in release builds.
