Lightbird is a LAN-based Instant Messaging software designed for simplicity and ease of use. Its goal is to provide quick communication between users within a local network environment.
The Lightbird project is a simple IM service for LAN, similar to an ICQ Groupware clone. With its use of mono, it is theoretically capable of running on all platforms including MacOS, GNU, and Windows. On Windows, users can make use of the .NET framework and install GTK Sharp.
The Lightbird server uses Sqlite3 as a user and message database, making it easy to manage all conversations and user details. The only requirement for using Lightbird is that the user must have version 2.8.x of the GTK+ package installed.
This latest release of Lightbird brings many improvements and bug fixes. In the Lightbird Client, there is a fixed bug in the class letturaMessaggi where the timer was not null but disposed, and a better right-clicking functionality on the users' list. Sound management has also been improved in this version, and new sdldotnet and tao 5.0 have been added, leading to faster processing. The source code has also been improved in various sections.
The chat feature has been significantly improved, offering faster and more efficient messaging. File transfer has also become more efficient with the latest version. In Lightbird Server, the source code has also been improved leading to faster responses. The new -n option allows users to set the number of requests to listen to (default 100 requests). Moreover, the chat system has also been improved, providing a seamless messaging experience.
Overall, the Lightbird project is an efficient and simple IM service for LAN, with the latest version bringing many improvements and bug fixes. The project's use of Sqlite3 and compatibility with multiple platforms make it an efficient and user-friendly choice for anyone on a LAN looking for a messaging service.
