Laugh YTK Pro v 1.5 Beta Build 410A released!

Release Notes:
  • A reconnection bug has been fixed to where Yahoo! Messenger sometimes wouldn't log back in after disconnection from a boot. Messenger will now reconnect immediately upon disconnection (at least at present).
  • Some code cleanup was performed.
  • A new feature called "Auto-Resume Chat Session" was added to combat the latest boot exploit from disrupting your chat session. This feature is available in the form of a checkbox in Messenger's sign-in window. This feature is only available in Yahoo! Messenger 8.0 - 9.0. Messenger 8.0/8.1 users will need to click on the "Sign In" button after being disconnected to have the Auto-Resume Chat Session feature kick in. Messenger 9.0 users don't have to click the "Sign In" button as reconnecting is done automatically for you upon disconnection.
  • YTK Pro Ignore Message "Blocking" has been fixed and now works properly.
  • A new chat server has been added to YTK Pro's Server Selector under Advanced Options.

Note: Resuming your chat session comes with a heavy restriction and that is the fact that you can't resume your voice connection after you've been disconnected. This is by design as Yahoo! Messenger has built-in voice which causes this to occur when you've been disconnected and you reconnect using the resume feature. Users are "swept" from the room and only added back if they've been detected as posting a chat room message to the room when using Auto-Resume Chat Session (meaning only 'active' chatters are added to your room list). This feature is labeled as EXPERIMENTAL.

Additional Note:
YTK Pro offers the ability to run a separate standalone VOX. If you have a VOX program that takes the required login credentials then you will not lose voice after you've been disconnected when resuming your session. Use the YTK Pro chat command /vcinfo prior to being disconnected in another VOX and you'll be able to stay on voice at all times.

Happy YTK Pro v 1.5 Beta Build 406 released!

Release Notes:
  • Added Auto-Gawd Mode with new updated Auto-Trigger routines (Labelled as experimental for now).
  • Updated Anti-Crack mechanism.
  • Prior versions are now unsupported as this is a mandatory update.
  • Allow/Disallow Voice feature updated
  • Minor Code Cleanup and Optimisation

YTK Pro v 1.5 Beta Build 396

  • Release Notes:
  • Updated our proprietary Packet Profiling Engine for Auto-Gawd to detect and Gawd you against additional malformed packet types and unknown sub-types such as the now heavily abused Plug-in packets.
  • Updated YTK's "About" window to include your machine's IP and Mac Addresses.
  • Added a new Chat Room slash Command, /ad, so you can now Advertise YTKPro.com to the room if you wish. If you want to help "spread the word" about YTK Pro then this is the way to do it! Cool
  • Additional Note: The /ad command is randomized to broadcast 2 different adverts; one with an obfuscated URL and one with just the domain name (to defeat clients that block links).
  • Corrected a bug where the Captcha Box sometimes wouldn't be "On Top" and would pop up behind the chat room screen (mainly a Vista issue).
  • Checked all features in YTK Pro to make sure that they are 100% compatible with the newly-released Yahoo! Messenger version 9.0 beta build 907. Messenger beta build 907 'broke' the refresh voice button so this has been fixed (thanks to Master for spotting this).
  • Added in an integrated right-click menu with 3 options so you can now mark a user as "safe", remove them from the safe list and view their profiles while they're talking on the mic. You must have Quick Voice Ignoring of Voiced Users on the Mic under Additional Settings (Additional...) ENABLED to use this brand new feature!

YTK Pro v 1.5 Beta Build 394a

Release Notes:
  • Added extended emotes to PMs, Conferences and Chat Rooms in YM 9.0 (works with 7, 8 and 9 versions of YM of course too)
  • Fixed a right-click menu creation bug in 8.x builds
  • Added in additional packet inspection rules primarily to combat against malformed packet types
  • "Chat Error" messages that are dropped (not seen by others) are now retransmitted so you will lose no text when posting in chat rooms (this is a huge Yahoo! server bug!).
  • Fixed a small file transfer bug.

Edit: Added Compatibility to the Tag
