Product Description:

This hotline client is module based, letting you decide by yourself how your client will look/feel/work like. Different modules will add different features/services. Because Heidrun is made with Cocoa, writing your own module is very simple. The default modules include services like: file transfers, threaded-news and all the basic hotline stuff like: chat, private-chats, messaging and plain-news.

  • Added a servers window/menu listing all connections and their tasks and transfers
  • Added connection and transfer restorability, automatic connection and file resuming
  • Added connection window cycling apple+arrow
  • Added a task status toolbar item
  • Added support for unknown incoming data (Framework changes)
  • New application icon and icon for unfinished downloads/server-files
  • New connection status view
  • New window positioning system
  • Changed url handling to login:password@server:port instead of password:login
  • Overall performance/speed optimizations and GUI changes
  • Fixed a bug not releasing threads on disconnect
  • Fixed a bug where "Apply" in preferences always caused nick changes
  • Fixed problems with favorites
  • Fixed a crash when connecting with an icon of 0 to 185-servers

This was the best Hotline client until 10.5 shot it to hell. Please fix this!

Heidrun CommentaryIt doesn't work on Leopard - Version: 0.7.2, 2/24/2008 04:45AM PST

Since I upgraded to OS 10.5, Heidrun fails to load the users list, and hangs forever... It's a pity, because it used to be the best Hotline client.

Does anyone know how to contact the developer, asking for workarounds or even if he can recompile this nice little program?

Thanks

... if you could view directory listings on servers by Date Modified/Created? Would it be hard to implement? Surely there are a bag of other features you could inject into Heidrun to justify the 4-year absence. Been using it since it was born and is still my choice in Hotline client clones.
