PowerSMS 2.0b1 release notes
Important: Do not launch PowerSMS 1.3.4 or any earlier previews of PowerSMS 2 once this version has been launched! Because of a bug in those versions, all of your existing gateway accounts will be lost if you do.
General Info
This release supports multiple SMS gateways and Proxy servers for sending SMS:es.
There are 11 SMS Gateways
in this release, however I haven't been able to test all of them as I live in
Sweden and have no way to actually try whether, for example, ItaliaOnLine works
or not.
Therefore, I'd be very grateful if you report both working and non-working gateways
to me at henli201@student.liu.se.
For those gateways that require the country code and phonenumber to be entered
separetely, that is parsed automatically (except for countries with 3-digit
country codes).
I have been able to test these gateways
myself and they seem to work: Mtnsms (same functionality as in PSMS1.3.4), Sms.ac
and Boltblue.
Getting started
Your existing Mtnsms accounts (if any) will be available in this version too.
When adding new accounts, you enter login name and password as usually. New in this version is that you also choose which gateway the login and password apply to.
When sending messages, the New Message window now contains a popup menu that let's you choose which gateway to use (only those that have at least one account entered will be displayed).
Known bugs/limitations
• I'm not sure whether the proxy support works or not (though it should
work). Please let me know.
• The phone number parsing for Kostenlos is probably carried out incorrectly.
• Proceeding to the next account when the current is used up is not functional
for most gateways (does work with Mtnsms and Sms.ac, though).
• Win32: When restoring the main window after it has been minimized, it
is not placed on its previous location.
• MacOS X: The "OK" and "Register" buttons in the about
window look really awful.
• MacOS X: The prefs menu item is not in the correct menu.
Suggestions
If you have any kind of suggestions for PSMS2 (support for more gws - name them,
other features, UI stuff, whatever), feel free to mail me at henli201@student.liu.se.
