A new significant release of the multi-protocol instant messaging client Miranda NG 0.96.1 has been published, continuing the development of the Miranda program. Supported protocols include: Facebook, ICQ, IRC, Jabber/XMPP, SkypeWeb, Steam, Tox, Twitter and VKontakte. The project code is written in C++ and is distributed under the GPLv2 license. The program currently only supports the Windows platform, but work has begun on implementing Linux support. Future plans also include the addition of support for new protocols, including WhatsApp and Telegram.
Among the changes:
- The first results of porting to Linux are presented - the mir_core kernel can now be compiled for Linux-based systems.
- Added the ability to hide group chats from the contact list (like regular contacts).
- Added support for building with Visual Studio 2022.
- Updated libraries BASS, BASSWMA, libcurl, libtox, PCRE, pthreads-win32 (pthreads4w), SQLite and TinyXML2.
- Support for the Discord protocol has been discontinued, as Discord Inc makes it as difficult as possible to develop alternative implementations of the protocol and has blocked the accounts of Miranda NG developers.
- In the implementation of the VKontakte proctol, authorization has been established (including two-factor), support for the βInvisibleβ status has been added, and the ability to send audio messages has been provided.
