• Version 0.1.12 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  This is the latest version of the 0.1.* saga. A bug was fixed in the english version of .help . Now, .password clears the screen. Also, some optimizations were made to the clear screen function.

• Version 0.1.11 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  This is the new version of the 0.1.* saga. Rules are only shown if this is register time to the user. After inserting the password, the user gets his screen cleaned. Besides, two new commands were introduced: .news and .cls .

• Version 0.1.10 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  There are three new commands: .emote, .pemote and .suicide. There's now a commands translation to Portuguese: point to commands-en to have commands in English and commands-pt to have them in Portuguese. If you're willing to make more translations, just drop me a line. No technical skills are needed, just linguistic ones. Finally, some bugs were solved, but nothing critical.

• Version 0.1.9 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  This version adds the support for session takeover, meaning that if there's one user logged on and another terminal tries to log on, and does it well (with the right passphrase), the session swaps to the new logged on user.

• Version 0.1.8 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  This version adds the .password command, so users can change their password. For easyness of migration from PyTalker 0.1.7 to 0.1.8, the "standard" users directory is no longer "users" but "userfiles". If you want to migrate your users, just edit your actual "users" username.py files, copy the content of the password variable there, and write it to the userfiles/username : only the password hash and anything else. Yes, this also means that you're not supposed to have any \n or stuff like that.

• Version 0.1.7 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  As promised, this version adds SHA512 support, which basicly means that now user passwords are encrypted. Take in consideration that this version requires Python 2.5.

• Version 0.1.6 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  After a long time without having time to do this, I've finally released version 0.1.6 of PyTalker. This release only sanatizes the changes done on the previous versions. This way, all configurable stuff in the Login system is now in one configuration file, instead of being hardcoded. This release doesn't add nothing new, so if you're happy using v0.1.5 you shouldn't feel the need to upgrade.
  A new version urges, as passwords are still stored in plaintext, so the next version will probably add the support of encryption (SHA-2).

• Version 0.1.5 of PyTalker is out! Try it...
  After several months of having the project stalled, it's maintainers have no real time to develop it but Mind Booster Noori, which is now the Project Leader, Main Coder and Website maintainer.
  This release add user registration and autentication. Passwords are stored in plaintext at the moment, but v0.1.6 will have them encrypted as they should be and a .password command to change the password. Keep on checking, because v0.1.6 won't take as long (I hope) to be released as this version was...
