PC problems continue, and that’s just one of the reasons why I have to focus on other stuff to solve it and avoid further delays to everything, including this project.
A little bit rough roadmap:
- ETA – when it’s ready
- ArloriaNET-only test release for one week first, public download of unrestricted build second
- shortly after the release of webbased version, AIR build will be available
- after that (within 2 weeks since public release of webbased version), webbased version of tiramisu will be opensourced
- this roadmap will be posted again with further details, as well as specific dates for each stage, as soon as the test release of new version of tiramisu will be made on ArloriaNET IRC Network.
Since now on, bug tracker is available at http://mantis.tiramisu.in/ (it also has it’s own twitter account – http://twitter.com/tiramisubt) – feel free to report any bugs you’ll find.
Good question. As many of you have noticed, v0.9.76 is the last version of eris available for download. Project got renamed to tiramisu (as a matter of fact, it’s the original name of this irc client – it got renamed to eris long time ago, but for several reasons I’ve decided to return to the roots) and I was hoping to release entirely new version with quite a few new features before the end of November. Unfortunately, my PC failed due to cpu overheating (it’s an old amd sempron on socket a). I was offline for over a month, got it working now, but basically nothing has changed – it’s still overheating, and the only thing that keeps it working is underclocking. Maybe it’s another damaged cpu, maybe it’s mainboard issue (it has it’s flaws, for example I can’t underclock it too much or it stops detecting my 3g modem on usb, or any usb device for that matter) – the fact is, I need a new PC. I won’t tell you when tiramisu will be opensourced – it will be, but certainly not before the new release will gather some bigger userbase, and not before I’ll clean up the source code – so certainly not in this year. What I can promise you instead is that I will continue my work to give you the best flash-based irc client available, ad-free. You can also expect the new release of tiramisu to be available for download at the end of this month. The thing is, I have no idea if and when this machine will fail again, hence the fundraiser. It isn’t some cosmic amount of cash – rather a realistic amount i need to get a new PC.
