New Tkabber function: file transfer

Submitted by badlop on Sat, 07/03/2004 - 18:07

One of the more demanded Jabber features for the last years has been file transfer. The set of required JEPs has taken a lot of time to be written, a lot of discussions and a lot of hard work from their writers and contributors, but they were finally approved by the Jabber Software Foundation Council around October 2003.

Tkabber turns 2 years old on 3 july 2004. It seems that exactly two years ago the first version was uploaded to jabber.ru CVS. Probably it was in gestation some month, since Tkabber on july 2002 was pretty complete.

New clients come to life, other clients go to Jabber heaven and some of them even reincarnate. The list of Jabber clients grows every time you check it, but not much of them are Free Software, so it's important for Jabber to keep a base of free clients that protect people freedom.

And now if you ask yourself, what will Tkabber add this third year? Well, you can decide with your contributions.

Happy birthday, Tkabber!
