Coren[m] 355c55f745 sendqueue_length no longer determines if we check for socket-can-write, but sendpacket() sets a timestamp if it happened 
network.*:
- sendpacket(): checks result and on EAGAIN, stores time of this event
- networking_wait_prepare(): uses the time if set to check up to 500ms later for the socket to be writeable again
- networking_wait_cleanup(): clears the time if the socket was writeable
- fixed some accidental tabs

Messenger.*, tox.*:
- pass-through functions to reach networking_wait_cleanup()
- fixed some accidental tabs

Project Tox Project Tox, also known as Tox, is a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) instant messaging application aimed to replace Skype.

With the rise of governmental monitoring programs, Tox aims to be an easy to use, all-in-one communication platform (including audio, and videochats in the future) that ensures their users full privacy and secure message delivery.

IRC: #tox on freenode, alternatively, you can use the webchat.

For Mac OSX read INSTALL.md

Objectives:

Keep everything really simple.

The Complex Stuff:

  • Tox must use UDP simply because hole punching with TCP is not as reliable.
  • Every peer is represented as a byte string (the public key of the peer [client ID]).
  • We're using torrent-style DHT so that peers can find the IP of the other peers when they have their ID.
  • Once the client has the IP of that peer, they start initiating a secure connection with each other. (See Crypto)
  • When both peers are securely connected, they can exchange messages, initiate a video chat, send files, etc, all using encrypted communications.
  • Current build status: Build Status

TODO:

Why are you doing this? There are already a bunch of free skype alternatives.

The goal of this project is to create a configuration-free P2P skype replacement. Configuration-free means that the user will simply have to open the program and without any account configuration will be capable of adding people to his friends list and start conversing with them. There are many so-called skype replacements and all of them are either hard to configure for the normal user or suffer from being way too centralized.
