Sorry for my bad English.

I have:

Server - Windows 2000 Rus + OpenFire 3.6.4 (with ntlm)

Client - Windows XP Rus + Pandion 2.5 (installing with WSH folder Pandion and global.xml in domain)

Rosters - on Russian.

Not problem.

But if use Pandion 2.6.90 - i do not have authorization from the first time. Edit file brand.xml for use SSO does not change the situation.
Writes that - disconnected from the server.yarkers

Actually it looks pretty good and it's working perfect for me but I can't find the option to allow new messages pop-up or not, the last version had it so the window didn't pop-up and stayed in the tray ... help please... Tnx!

@sponsoring: You're right, that's the expected result. Thanks for verifying though. :)

@El iconoclasta: Thanks! Good luck with the testing, let me know if there are any problems.

Great work!

Alright, "Remove" worked. Here's the output of the network console (F12) when connecting to my Jabber server:

EVNT: Connecting to xxx.com
EVNT: Disconnected

I replaced my real host with xxx.com. I suppose this output doesn't help you at all. I mean, what are we testing here... I know that without my proxy I can't connect to the internet, so it's obvious that the connection fails. :)

2010-02-25T13:06:46.123+01:00

The installer doesn't connect to the internet. It's just "publishing" to the Windows Installer datastore on your machine. The error is due to it not finding the original installer in the same place. (I don't really like Windows Installer *.msi packages because it has these kinds of complex edge cases, but it's required for network administrators.)

Uninstalling Pandion 2.6.90 does not remove user data. Only the application and shortcuts are removed. You can also manually backup your Pandion user data (profiles, history, ...) by making a copy of "%AppData%\Pandion".

2010-02-25T13:00:44.066+01:00

Seb: Repair doesn't work, after I clicked on it it will do something until "Publishing product information" and then a Pandion Setup pop-up appears: "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file: C:\...blabla...\Pandion_2.6.90[1].msi (blabla is the path where I downloaded the file to). Looks like it's trying to make a connection to the internet but fails cause of missing proxy settings (?) :) "Remove" I'm not going to try cause I'm afraid to lose all my settings, contact list etc.

2010-02-25T12:41:45.902+01:00

Do the Repair and Remove options work? That should enable you to bring back 2.6.90 and try the tests.

2010-02-25T12:39:14.275+01:00

Seb: I'm feeling lucky then. And all of my colleagues here at work, who use 2.5 as well, too. :) Anyway, 2.6.90 is not on the system anymore, it was overwritten by 2.5 when I re-installed 2.5 before. However, the installer of 2.6.90 *THINKS* that it is still there, for some reason. Regards.

2010-02-25T12:25:08.725+01:00

@sponsoring: If Pandion 2.6.90 is still on the system then you can launch it from Start > Run: "%LocalAppData%\Pandion\Application\pandion.exe"
One of the next features to implement is proxy support but in a different way (BOSH) than what Pandion 2.5 did (HTTP CONNECT). It was quite rare to work at all so I guess you're lucky. ;)

2010-02-25T12:19:08.370+01:00

Seb: I would like to help, but now when I tried to re-install 2.6.90 the installer won't let me. It is offering me the options "Repair" or "Remove". Probably it thinks that 2.6.90 is still installed but in fact 2.5 is. Anyway, it is a fact that without a proxy I cannot connect to the internet, so when I choose "None" as proxy server in 2.5 then the connection will fail. So, the proxy setting *does* much in 2.5 (and is gone in 2.6.90). :)

2010-02-25T12:01:57.317+01:00

@sponsoring: Could you please try again with Pandion 2.6.90 but press F12 to open a network monitor? Then copy and paste the connection log. I'd be happy to debug this and fix the problem. It's probably not the proxy support, which doesn't really do much in Pandion 2.5 anyway.

2010-02-25T11:56:10.684+01:00

Hm, my Pandion 2.5 just notified me about the fact that an update is available. Downloaded and installed it, connection to the Jabber server couldn't get established... checked the settings and realized the option for a proxy server is missing from the settings in the new version. Uninstalled the new version and went back to the old version, everything works fine again. Hm... weird new version isn't it.

2010-02-25T11:44:45.585+01:00

File transfer has been removed from Pandion 2.6.90 because the code was unstable, and due to poor firewall/NAT support the protocol implemented does not meet the "it just works" requirement. Patching the file transfer code from Pandion 2.5 would have required a rewrite so instead we decided to remove the feature temporarily and work on a new implementation that is more stable and supports firewalls/NAT better. This will be done using Jingle which is also the basis for future VOIP and video support in Pandion.

Thanks! That looks identical to the string that was suggested to me earlier: http://github.com/pandion/pandion/blob/b582d980d7acbd4150da59fd15ec9e2585c34290/Client/settings/brand.xml#L10
Glad to have a confirmation.

I've heard that Google Chrome transliterated its name into Chinese. Not sure if this was the mainland version or SG/TW/HK.

Business cards also often have names of companies and people in both western alphabet and the local script, usually on either side of the card. I've personally seen this practice with Japanese, Indian and Chinese companies.

In any case, if the software UI text is displayed in a particular script then the name should also be in the same script. The user should not be expected to understand more than one script.

So anyway, do you know how to transliterate Pandion? :)
