PSPoste Beta 7
by October 12, 2008 @ 10:53 pm
It’s back! After nearly a year with no updates in sight, the original PSPoste team makes a triumphant return with the release of PSPoste beta 7, a collaborate effort between developers David Cummings, Ben Biron and Sajeeth Cherian. In case you missed previously releases, PSPoste is a full fledged email client designed specifically for PSP, supporting SMTP and POP3 protocols, all wrapped within a visually-appealing user interface. In addition to various bug fixes, beta 7 features numerous enhancements, including IR keyboard courtesy of Zx-81 and utilization of the extra 64MB RAM on Slim models.
For the full changelog, hit the break.
* Support more IR keyboards by using the pspirkeyb library, see PSPoste/Data/pspirkeyb/ for configuration of your keyboard.
* Better random number generation for TLS based connections, acknowledgements to Zx81 for his work on PSPSSH and Theodore Tso for the original RNG work.
* On first start, users will be prompted to press buttons randomly to generate the random seed file.
* Use the extra RAM of the PSP Slim.
* Fix a crash when opening the settings window when no network connections are defined.
* Fix another crash opening the settings window that would occur randomly.
* Fix a bug in the logging mechanism that meant errors and output weren’t properly being written out to the log files.
* Fix a problem connecting using a manually configured WPA connection.
* Make the cursor visible at all times while typing (as opposed to blinking throughout).
* Explicitly load the IrDA module so IR Keyboards work on firmwares > 3.03OE.
* Adjust heap and thread stack sizes.
* Fix some memory leaks and uninitialzed variables.
* Set the timezone to whatever the PSP has configured.
