Looks like jabberd is sending very weird (but valid) SASL data. I think Pandion might be choking on that and sending an incorrect response value. I'll do more testing. Thanks for reporting this.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 21, 2009 20:01 to the question "call rooms in website" in Pandion:

AFAIK there are two XMPP specs to implement this.

1. XEP-0081 Jabber MIME Type
Implemented in Pandion 2.5 (and available in 2.6) but this spec is retracted. The support for this spec will be deprecated in future Pandion releases.

2. XEP-0147 XMPP URI Scheme Query Components
Incomplete support in Pandion 2.5 and 2.6.70 and earlier. Pandion simply opens a chat window when clicking on any "xmpp:" link in the browser. This should be fixed in a future Pandion release.

You can specify the default for this setting in %LocalAppData%/Pandion/Application/settings/brand.xml

In a chat window go to Tools > More emoticons and choose your preferred style.

Thanks for the log captures. Looks interesting. Will discuss further via email.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 18, 2009 03:33 to the problem "I cannot input any words at "Start a new conversation" window..." in Pandion:

This feature is not ready yet. Should probably just remove that UI placeholder for now. Thanks for the reminder.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 17, 2009 22:13 to the question "Pandion's NTalk" in Pandion:

Oh I see, thanks for the screenshot. You are using the standard version of Pandion after all. And "ntalk" is simply the hostname of your company's instant messaging server.

By the way, what a strange naming policy in your contact list. Not sure how you know who you're talking to.

I think pastie.org might be blocked in china. :(

Try emailing me at cbas@pandion.im with the log file as a zipped attachment. Thanks!

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 17, 2009 16:46 to the question "pandion on active directory environment" in Pandion:

If your XMPP server supports NTLM (eg. Openfire on Windows with this module) then you can change Pandion's network settings to use Windows Integrated Authentication. This allows your clients to connect using the Kerberos-based credentials of the Windows user session.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 17, 2009 15:02 to the idea "Put widget js file on CDN" in Get Satisfaction:

Currently the GSFN feedback.js and feedback.css are hosted on and served from AWS S3. AFAIK that's not a CDN but a distributed storage service designed for reliability rather than performance. Have you investigated AWS CloudFront?

From the product page it looks like CloudFront has advantages over S3:
- Various global edges to serve from => lower latency.
- Cheaper pricing (might be wrong on that)

I don't know if CloudFront supports HTTP compression (gzip or deflate). This would be a nice speed-up. Might save you lots of $$$ in bandwidth bills too.

In any case you could already minify the JS and CSS code. This would save about 16% on both files (just did a quick test).

(I have no affiliation with Amazon. Just wondering if the GSFN widget on my site can load faster.)

Sorry, we try not to set arbitrary timelines. We prefer to work on what seems most important at any given time and it will be released when it's done.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 17, 2009 12:45 to the question "Pandion's NTalk" in Pandion:

It may be a third-party modded version of Pandion. There are a few of those around. Where did you download NTalk? Can you take a screenshot please?

What's NTalk?

These are the emoticon styles in (official) Pandion:

Which emoticon styles are installed in Pandion? (Conversation window > Tools > Choose emoticons)

Between travel and coping with the flu we haven't had much time to fix bugs.

Sebastiaan Deckers replied on December 16, 2009 14:22 to the question "The 2.6 beta cannot use Chinese name to login..." in Pandion:

Can you grab a log using 2.6.70 from the network monitor (F12) and paste it at http://pastie.org/ please?

Sebastiaan Deckers marked one of Rainfall's replies in Pandion as useful. Rainfall replied to the question "Pandion adds non-existant contacts from AD".

Idle is counted as Away, but that should really be fixed. Good catch!

Oh hang on, if you're in busy or away modes then the sound won't be played.
