HIM 0.1.1 brings sign-up, file sharing, saved conversations and more.

New

  • Get a Screen Name opens VesperNet's messenger sign-up page, https://agora.vespernet.net/messenger (0.1.0 sent people to the wrong page).
  • Send File: send pictures and files to a buddy with the Send File button in an IM window. They choose Accept or Decline; files land in Downloads/HIM. Pictures show right in the conversation; click one to open it full size.
  • Conversations are kept on your computer, so an IM window opens where you left off.
  • BadassBuddy Icons: My HIM > Buddy Icon > BadassBuddy Icons... opens the BadassBuddy.com collection, built in. Icons courtesy of BadassBuddy.com ♥ (© BadassBuddy.com, used by permission; see LICENSE-ICONS.txt).
  • Suggested buddies on VesperNet: John (who made HIM) and SmarterChild, if you'd like them. Not now hides the suggestion.
  • Chat rooms: on servers that keep chat history, you see what was said before you came in. Other Hotline users see the ICQ flower (icon 25901) beside you.
  • Emoji you type go out as classic text faces (:D, (Y)...), which every Hotline client can show.

Downloads

  • Mac (Apple Silicon): HIM_0.1.1_aarch64.dmg · Mac (Intel): HIM_0.1.1_x64.dmg. Both signed and notarized.
