MBNCSUtil 2.1.7.22 was released and is accessible in latest releases. It incorporates many of the new features seen in BN#, including BNI and BLP file parsing, and some huge performance increases.

I added a demo project of connecting to a realm server with BN# by using the new support for custom packet handling. This demo will eventually become a full-fledged plugin for JinxBot, although a good portion of the code can certainly be refactored for use as a general-purpose MCP handler. To see it, check out the SVN repository from Google Code. For more information, see the source code article.

9-July 2008

A new CTP release of BN# has been posted. This release has partial clan packet support (most of it - mostly just not forming new clans), and exposes the ability to provide custom packet handlers. BN# will support all clan commands and friends list events before it is published to beta, so be patient - don't run ahead and implement friend packet handling just yet. :)

The JinxBot project, including BN# and JinxBot.Controls, have moved to Google Code. See the Source code article for more information on obtaining it.

Also, see the new Compiling the Documentation article if you feel the need to do that. :)

I just made some progress! After spending a couple hours hammering out a bug that I was seeing in some obscure .NET parameter binding code, I finally managed to get JinxBot up and running. It's already using the correct controls and as you might guess, will have a rich docking window infrastructure.
