= Psi/2: JID'em All! =

[http://psi-im.org Psi] is a capable Jabber client aimed at experienced users.  Its design
goals are simplicity and stability.  Psi is highly portable and runs on
Windows, OS/2, Unix/X11, and MacOS X.

The interface is very ICQ-like.  Alerts appear in the contact list when
events are received, and things like subscriptions requests appear as
"system messages" (ICQ users know these well).  Even "Chats" are
queued in the contact list.  Also, chats are "remembered" by default,
so that you don't have to keep a bunch of windows open for each person.
Just close the chat window.  If you open it again it will all be there.

Psi is minimal but powerful.  There are keybindings for just about
everything, Unicode is supported throughout, and contacts are cached
offline.  Security is also a major consideration, and Psi provides it for
both client-to-server (SSL) and client-to-client (GnuPG).

This program is licensed under the GNU General Public License.  See
the COPYING file inlcuded in this package for more information.

==== What is Psi/2 ====

Psi/2 is a separate development branch of Psi initially created to work on
a version of Psi for OS/2 and eComStation operating systems.  Why a separate
branch?  In ealy 2006, original Psi authors decided to discontinue the support
of the Qt Toolkit Version 3 and ported Psi sources to Qt Version 4.  Psi 0.10
was the last release based on Qt Version 3.  However, Qt Version 4 is not (yet)
available for the OS/2 platform, therefore the sources of Psi 0.10 have been
taken and ported to OS/2.

In the process of porting, several minor Psi bugs were fixed and some few
bits of new functionality were added.  These changes are unlikely to be applied
to the current official Psi sources because of the differences in Qt Toolkits
and because original authors are not interested in supporting the Qt 3 branch.

There are some more improvements planned to the Psi/2 branch.  This branch will
exist until at least Qt Version 4 for OS/2 becomes available.  Please note that
Psi/2 is NOT supported by original Psi developers, so don't send them bug
reports and feature requests.  See below for information about reporting bugs.

In order to clearly distinguish the original Psi application from Psi/2,
the latter is used as the application name for the Psi/2 branch (including
the 'Jabber client name and version' string reported to Jabber servers).
In situations where using the slash character makes problems or even imposible
(such as file names of distribution archives), 'psios2' is used instead.

Currently, binary Psi/2 packages are distributed only for OS/2 and eComStation
(a Windows package based on Qt 3 is planned soon).  If you need a version of Psi
for a different platform, please visit the official Psi home hage mentioned
above.  There you will find the most recent version of Psi based on the Qt
Toolkit Version 4.

== Latest Version ==

The latest version of Psi/2 for OS/2 and eComStation is '''0.10.1''' released on 26-Sep-2006.

See [/repos/qtapps/psi/tags/psios2-0.10.1/Changes.txt Changes.txt] for a full list of changes.

Please note that the application name has been changed to Psi/2 to clearly
distinguish from the original Psi releases produced by the psi-im.org
team. See [/repos/qtapps/psi/tags/psios2-0.10.1/Readme.txt Readme.txt] for
more info.
