| 3 | | [http://www.psi-im.org/ Psi] is the premiere Instant Messaging application designed for Microsoft |
| 4 | | Windows, Apple Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, eComStation (eCS) and OS/2. Built upon an |
| 5 | | open protocol named Jabber, Psi is a fast and lightweight messaging client |
| 6 | | that utilises the best in open source technologies. |
| | 3 | [http://psi-im.org Psi] is a capable Jabber client aimed at experienced users. Its design |
| | 4 | goals are simplicity and stability. Psi is highly portable and runs on |
| | 5 | Windows, OS/2, Unix/X11, and MacOS X. |
| 8 | | This page contains information related to the OS/2 version of Psi only. If you need a version of Psi for another platform, you can visit the official Psi web-page at http://www.psi-im.org, but please note that the OS/2 version is not officially supported there. |
| | 7 | The interface is very ICQ-like. Alerts appear in the contact list when |
| | 8 | events are received, and things like subscriptions requests appear as |
| | 9 | "system messages" (ICQ users know these well). Even "Chats" are |
| | 10 | queued in the contact list. Also, chats are "remembered" by default, |
| | 11 | so that you don't have to keep a bunch of windows open for each person. |
| | 12 | Just close the chat window. If you open it again it will all be there. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Psi is minimal but powerful. There are keybindings for just about |
| | 15 | everything, Unicode is supported throughout, and contacts are cached |
| | 16 | offline. Security is also a major consideration, and Psi provides it for |
| | 17 | both client-to-server (SSL) and client-to-client (GnuPG). |

| | 25 | ==== What is Psi/2 ==== |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | Psi/2 is a separate development branch of Psi initially created to work on |
| | 28 | a version of Psi for OS/2 and eComStation operating systems. Why a separate |
| | 29 | branch? In ealy 2006, original Psi authors decided to discontinue the support |
| | 30 | of the Qt Toolkit Version 3 and ported Psi sources to Qt Version 4. Psi 0.10 |
| | 31 | was the last release based on Qt Version 3. However, Qt Version 4 is not (yet) |
| | 32 | available for the OS/2 platform, therefore the sources of Psi 0.10 have been |
| | 33 | taken and ported to OS/2. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | In the process of porting, several minor Psi bugs were fixed and some few |
| | 36 | bits of new functionality were added. These changes are unlikely to be applied |
| | 37 | to the current official Psi sources because of the differences in Qt Toolkits |
| | 38 | and because original authors are not interested in supporting the Qt 3 branch. |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | There are some more improvements planned to the Psi/2 branch. This branch will |
| | 41 | exist until at least Qt Version 4 for OS/2 becomes available. Please note that |
| | 42 | Psi/2 is NOT supported by original Psi developers, so don't send them bug |
| | 43 | reports and feature requests. See below for information about reporting bugs. |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | In order to clearly distinguish the original Psi application from Psi/2, |
| | 46 | the latter is used as the application name for the Psi/2 branch (including |
| | 47 | the 'Jabber client name and version' string reported to Jabber servers). |
| | 48 | In situations where using the slash character makes problems or even imposible |
| | 49 | (such as file names of distribution archives), 'psios2' is used instead. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | Currently, binary Psi/2 packages are distributed only for OS/2 and eComStation |
| | 52 | (a Windows package based on Qt 3 is planned soon). If you need a version of Psi |
| | 53 | for a different platform, please visit the official Psi home hage mentioned |
| | 54 | above. There you will find the most recent version of Psi based on the Qt |
| | 55 | Toolkit Version 4. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | This resource is the home page of the Psi/2 project. |
| 21 | | Beta 1 has a major problem (system timer resource leaks) causing other applications to behave wrongly under some circumstancies. Before Beta 2 is out, it is highly recommended to download the [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qtapps/psi/0.10-os2-b1/qpsi_dll_b1_timers_fix.zip QPSI.DLL hot-fix] and unpack the archive to the Psi installation directory letting it overwrite the existing file. |
| | 65 | * Support for SSL connections (e.g. gmail.com) |
| | 66 | * Built-in support fo Innotek Font Engine (anti-aliased fonts) |
| | 67 | * Important bug fixes (such as system timer resource leak) |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | See [/repos/qtapps/psi/tags/psios2-0.10.1/Changes.txt Changes.txt] for a full list of changes. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | Please note that the application name has been changed to Psi/2 to clearly |
| | 72 | distinguish from the original Psi releases produced by the psi-im.org |
| | 73 | team. See [/repos/qtapps/psi/tags/psios2-0.10.1/Readme.txt Readme.txt] for |
| | 74 | more info. |
