Refraction progress

The forthcoming version, beta 7, will be another vast improvement in the progress of Refraction. This time not only because of the dedicated work by Frans van Nispen, but also thanks to submissions to the quite recently opened Bugs and Features bugtracker. Of the 52 bugs submitted over the last period of time, only 11 have not yet been resolved.
The reason why it took some time for Refraction to reach the beta 7 status was that Frans wanted to have dealt with several issues before he felt the new version of Refraction to be good enough for release. Because of the progress of late, he has announced that beta 7 will be the last version available under the Early Bird Licence discount. After that, Refraction will cost EUR 79.95 in stead of the current bargain of EUR 39.95, and won't be having the free update from Refraction R1 to R1.5. Bear in mind that Refraction will get scanner support for Zeta soon, and that there will also be a Refraction Lite edition available for purchase that is a better and more professional frontend than Sanity.

You can also see in the screenshot that the IM Kit even changes the icon color according to the user status and that change is, as expected, live.
The IM Kit was envisioned by Linus Almstron and was later "adopted" by Mikael Eiman (m_eiman). Active developers working on the project right now include Bruno G. Albuquerque (BGA), Mikael Jansson (tic) and Michael Davidson (slaad).
BeOS IM Kit is in an alpha stage of development, and in the time of writing it only supports a subset of the ICQ protocol.
If you have ideas for the project or want to contribute with code, please join the developers at #beosimkit (irc.freenode.org). The latest version of the kit can be downloaded from:

So, though a bit later than I would have liked, I'd like to wish everyone out there a very happy Christmas, if you celebrate it, on behalf of ICO. I hope you had a nice peaceful time with your family and that you had the gift you most wanted.
And now, back to our usual programming...

BeOSRadio is having a special Christmas programming for the holidays. Today and tomorrow, each hour, Dane Scott will have a special Christmas Countdown "complete with BeOSRADIO's top-ten favorite submitted Christmas songs, plus interview clips with a "secret" featured artist." Also, today, Christmas' Eve, there will be another holiday special produced by Dane Scott, from 18h00m (6pm) up to midnight, starting every hour just after the news.
So don't forget to tune in to listen to this special programming. You have two connection flavours to chose from, the 64k Stereo and the 16k Mono one. There has been some buffering problems with the 64k stream, so if you encounter any problems, use the 16k stream. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Also, they will soon open a CVS server, available to everyone. Along with all of this, you can read about it and more over at Guillaume Maillard's column. An interesting read.
Thanks to Syrek for the mail about this one.
