Answering your question  toolmanwill, no
There is no public release.  As far as I know, BlackSpark is working hard to finish it.

Originally posted by Skrollster and it will be easy to change to lua 5.0.2 imho and it will be worth it...

it took me 5 seconds 2 rewrite 90% of a.i. by using my 425 converter script, the rest had 2 be changed manualy.
that took 1 evening and 1 more 2 re-check everything, but like always i overlooked things.
but it's 1000% (no thats not a typing error) worth the effort.
so many new things are possible on lua 5, but that doesn't say you should use all of those.

Thanks for keeping Ptokax project alive !

Lua 5 support is a very good news and I've seen that
you've satisfied many requests exporting new methods as GetOnlineUsers()...

Since I haven't found a better place, I post here some features I would like to see in future ptokax release

Multihub is far far away and I'm not able to find any information about how ptokax treat multihubbing so I've tried to do something with external tools.

I've written my own version of multichat based on MYC and works fine but when I'm trying to redistribute $Search among the hubs connected ... the ptokax hub security stops most of these searches giving 5 sec timeout ...

Is it possible to override this for a single user ?

The other thing I would like is a button for saving the content of ptokax interface to config files.
It's very annoyng to modify the motd or other settings and could not see in config files until ptokax is closed again...

If you have any hint about multihubbing, please feel free to post here or write to
ilpozzodelleanime@libero.it

Sorry for bothering you....

[mattst88]

can someone enlighten me as to whom is working on ptokax atm?  ppk? plop?  Is it being maintained?

[[NL]Pur]

as far as i know, PPK has his own build.

[mattst88]

I assume that he'll release it when completed?  Or is it a private thing?

It's likely to be released to us all within the next 100 years... Although there's no guarantees.

[mattst88]

You'd expect it to be ridiculously good then, cause we've certainyl been waiting ;-)

[mattst88]

Maybe I just never heard, but what in the world even happened to ptazek?  He hasnt posted in forever and a day, his ICQ doesnt work, and I haven't even seen his name mentioned in who knows how long?  Does anyone have any contact with him?  Heh, do we know if the poor guy is still alive?

[Tw?sT?d-d?v]

Will he must be about somewhere has there are beta test hubs about!!

Unless someone else is fixing bugs and updating software?
