[drats_users] D-RATS 0.3.3b1

[IZ5FSA, Leo]

I'll go on set up the new beta on IQ5BL station, this week
I'll try to start POP/SMTP server by myself.
Are there some tricks I had to know before starting tests?

> Hi all,
>
> I just posted D-RATS 0.3.3b1 with a fair number of new features:
>
> - Make chat quick messages orderable and respond accordingly to F1-F12
>  for quick access
> - Make form windows remember their sizes (stored separately for each
>  form type)
> - Reorganize the internal packing for form window widgets in a grid for
>  better visibility if the window is wide
> - Allow sending of rich forms to regular email recipients by sending the
>  HTML pretty-printed version
> - Make the message list columns resize themselves more intelligently
> - Preliminary AGWPE support for UI packet-based connectivity (allowing
>  D-RATS packets to pass through a digi)
> - Winlink RMS client support over an AGWPE connection and option to use
>  that instead of a network connection to Winlink CMS
> - Add a POP3 and SMTP server to D-RATS, allowing Paclink-like
>  connectivity from normal mail clients over a LAN
> - Add a count at the top of the stations sidebar
> - Add a chat toolbar
> - Add "chat room" functionality to chat tab
> - Add "private conversation" to chat tab
> - Improved performance with socket-based connections
> - Improve station idle time calculation and display
> - Allow setting the Exec QST sanity limit
> - Fix severing radio connections every time the preferences are saved
> - Fix hanging the UI while trying to connect to a non-responsive host
> - Fix (I hope) a major mapping error causing some repeated tiles in
>  certain locations at some zoom levels
> - Fix an issue with starting the connectivity test
> - Fix keyboard navigation of the message folder list
> - Fix not logging actual error dumps to the debug log
> - Fix forcing the chat display to the bottom every time a new message
>  comes in
> - Fix prefixing [QST] to all qst messages (this was lost at some point)
>
> For those people who reported (or have been noticing) the map issue,
> please verify that it's gone and that the map behaves correctly otherwise.
>
> The "chat room" function will allow you to "join" a channel by clicking
> the button on the toolbar and typing a channel name.  All users that
> have done the same will see messages sent in that channel (barring the
> usual lost/corrupted message requirement of course).  The "private chat"
> function is, of course, not really private.  It just allows you to have
> a conversation with a remote station without it being displayed on
> everyone else's screen.  It is not really private and nobody should
> expect it to be.
>
> The POP3/SMTP server support deserves some discussion, so if you're
> interested in this, reply here and I'll cover it a bit.
>
> I have only tested the Winlink RMS connectivity on Linux with something
> other than the mainstream AGWPE engine, so some feedback about how it
> works for people would be appreciated.

> Thanks!
