• MRC Advancing to Alpha 1.2.1a in test

    From StackFault@10:102/3 to All on Friday, March 01, 2019 14:12:22
    Hi all,

    Quick update regarding the upcoming of MRC.

    MRC is now heading towards multi-platform, meaning that BBSes other than
    Mystic will be able to join. With this change, it will now be identified as Multi Relay Chat, keeping the MRC acronym.

    Server:
    * Complete code rewrite from scratch
    * Now running multiple threads and buffered FIFO queues
    * Currently in test and info communicated to those part of the dev team
    * Supports many new features but remain compatible with v1.1 clients
    * Message rate limiting
    * Users idle time reporting
    * Better room handling
    * Improved feedback to users; ie: join, parts, topic changes are now announced
    by the server, etc.
    * Better handshake process

    Mystic Python Connector Client:
    * Major changes and new features
    * Speeds are now negligibly higher than network latency
    * Auto-restart with loop delay management.
    * Whole new BBS info framework
    * FIFO buffer and sequential message queue to the MPL

    Mystic MPL Client:
    * Nick autocomplete
    * Some additional input sanitization
    * Some more small issues resolved

    As planned, I have now entered feature freeze and we will be testing it brutally this week. If all goes well, this will be released next week as a complete package including the both the py and mpl.

    Cheers!

    Makes sense! Although I was partial to Phenom Relay Chat :D
