[jdev] PyMSNt 0.9 preview

[James Bunton]

Hi everyone.

A few things:

For the jadmin & jdev people, from now on everything related to PyMSNt 
will be only posted to py-transports at jabberstudio.org (along with 
Daniel's PyAIM/ICQ stuff)
I suggest you subscribe if you're interested :)

Also, there's a preview of PyMSNt 0.9 available for download from my 
website
http://delx.cjb.net/PyMSNt-0.9-dev.zip

Done so far for 0.9:
* HTTPS proxy support
* Switch to using xish for all XML parsing
* Make an option of registration
* Review subscription code (WRT eJabberd)
* Don't reconnect if disconnect reason is connected from another 
location
* jabber:x:delay in groupchat messages
* Send error messages as errors
* Better config format (XML)
* Fix groupchat

Remaining to do...
* Keep track of MSN contact list versions and get the SYN command to 
use them
* Finish MSN Notification messages (NOT message, send as headline 
events)


The last two may or may not get done in time for release.
Basically, there's a few cleanups, lots of bugfixes (memory leak still 
there), as well as a new config file format (XML no less :P) and a 
couple of small features.

I'm running the transport now, it seems stable to me, but of course 
will need testing, especially on the features listed above :)
I welcome any bug reports and feedback.

Also, if anybody has a copy of MSN Messenger 7.0beta that they can test 
for compatibility, that would be great. I have now Windows machine, so 
I can't do it.


Any questions, comments, or bug reports, please don't hesitate to 
contact me.
Thanks for testing :)
