Beup 0.2 for NDS Released

Beup is homebrew app by kevinc that runs an MSN-like instant messaging application for the DS. Since the earlier version came out, kevinc’s been working to iron out the kinks and bugs and add more features. Beup v0.2 includes the following added features and fixes:

• Added support for sending / receiving user display pictures through MSNSLP
• Added support for sending / receiving INK gifs (not sure if works with official client, but works with aMSN, kopete and others)
• Can now handle 302 Transfer in SSL auth
• Added keyboard pressed key mask thingy
• Updated to devkitpro19
• Fixed bugs where some transaction ids were expected to be 1 char long
• Changed principal interface
• Can change now avatar / display name
• Fixed bug where would crash if disconnected while chatting
• Fixed bug where MSN would still consider you online / in some session even after closing
• Fixed where a principal would create new tabs continuously because Beup didn’t recognize that it had left the one before
• Tabs now appear only after partner sends a message
• Added some sounds
• Tabs now use principal names instead of account
• Fixed chat tabs in general
• Changed button look
• Simplified principal synchronization and should have less crashes
• Implemented composite glyphs for dstype (now displays accents / tildes / stuff)
• “More stuff that I can’t remember”

It still has bugs and you should watch out for these:

• DHCP sometimes still fails
• SSL sometimes still fails
• WEP seems to crash regularly
• Needs an interface to update network config on beup itself
• Still uses small keyboard
