Post by **ekalin** » Sun Aug 24, 2014 12:12 pm

KildClient version 3.0.0 has been released today. Some new features highlights:

This version should be more responsive than previous versions, especially in MUDs with large amounts of text.
KildClient now supports the GMCP (also called ATCP2) and MSDP protocols for data transfer between the server and client.
KildClient now supports HTTP proxies.
Timers can now have sub-second intervals.

For a full list of changes, see the ChangeLog.

Download the source code, or the Windows installer. For Windows users, the installation procedure has been simplified: the installer contains all necessary components and is all you need to download to run KildClient.

Notes for plugin writers

KildClient has been upgraded to use GTK+ 3. This should not affect your user experience, but plugins that use gtk2-perl for graphical interface need to be upgraded to use gtk3-perl. In most cases, just replacing s/Gtk2/Gtk3/ should be sufficient. But if the plugin used deprecated functions, bigger changes might be necessary. See the following link for more information on upgrading: https://metacpan.org/release/Gtk3/.
