Project status, Funding goal and other small notices

So wanted to inform about project status. Today have been reached yearly funding goal. Month before official deadline :)

Thank you all!

So if anyone wonders why last month or so there was a little bit less versions release. I just was busy working for my main employer. As soon I find more time, I ques it will take yet a month to finish already started jobs, I will be able again more active develop Live Helper Chat. Meanwhile just enjoy what I have build. Without all community it would be just impossible to do what we did.

Once again thank you all :)

Time zone bug

Yesterday, 2014-11-11 accidenteally I have introduced a bug which coused live help widget not appear on site. So if you have downloaded LHC between 2014-11-12 please make sure you have updated your lhc instance now and live help widget will appear.
 

It was a bold move from my side try to make some fixes after 24h hours of trip. In any case these fixes I have done they fixes user message time for frontend visitor. It was Daylight saving issues...

Cheers and sorry one more time :)

Desktop client updated

I have just updated Desktop client. From now it will have one more tab,  Unread chats. Also notifications for unread chats will be shown. So never miss a chat :) Demo also was updated with this function. So just download desktop client from Demo page. 

Anyone want's to compile desktop client for Mac?

NodeJS extension enhancements

Today I have made one fancy feature for NodeJs extension. Basically it's fail over for NodeJs extension. It works the following way

• If chat detects that he cannot connect to NodeJs it will fallback to standard ajax queries.
• If chat detects that he connected to NodeJs it will migrate to Websocket automatically by itself.
• Above scenario can happend during chat as many times as needed. You can just stop NodeJs and you will see that ajax queries will start appear. Once you run it again, ajax queries will be gone again.
• So basically you can have running NodeJs without afraid that it will stop working because LHC will work as working just with AJAX queries instead.
• This all work was inspired by this Github issue

This feature is already live in automated hosting and also you can find all changes on github.
