TDshell v0.4 Beta Released

About a week since v0.3.3 Beta was released, a new version of TDshell is out! We have a lot of news about it as well!

This release is the largest release ever of TDshell, consisting of more features and bugfixes than any other two versions combined.

Firefox & Safari Supported

TDshell ONLY supports Firefox & Safari, the best development and web 2.0 browsers ever created. This doesn't mean TDshell wont work in IE, it's just that we don't care if it doesn't. As for safari, TDshell also renders on the iPhone perfectly.

TONS of Features

I've normally just been pushing some of these features to the next release over and over and over again, but finally I've done most of them except for one. We'll get back to that later.

1. Template Changes



We've made enough template changes to make it compatible perfectly with Safari, even on the iPhone. It loads even faster now, looks quite a bit better, and it's just lolwut. We've removed the ugly triple line bullshit, added a cute fuzzy version / date / time display on the top right, and made the directory list file and directory action links smaller.




Examples : http://i31.tinypic.com/29qd0z4.jpg and http://i28.tinypic.com/v4p4iu.jpg



2. RFI Compatibility



TDshell is the first publicly released shell ever to impliment this correctly, and we've done it alongside the tons of new features we've added today as well as the paradigm that our shell is developed under.




The entire link creation system has been modified for this, and it's mindblowing. This is also working alongside our new form creation internal core module.




So TDshell is the first shell to actually impliment this, and people have been begging for the dreaded shells out there currently to support this. TDshell is the first to do it, and it's truely something that people have desired. And we did it alongside the ajax you love.



3. Magic Quotes Compatibility



We've edited around a little our shell and now there should be no more issues with magic quotes <3



4. History System | Tab System



Both of these new inter-dependant modules have a ton of new interfaces within both our new link creation system and with our javascript frontend.




Yes, that's right, TABS in a Shell. Why the hell would you want tabs? Well I sure used it well just when I was working on the shell, I had a tab open for the shell itself, and another tab where I was testing a feature of the shell to see if it worked... and I didn't have to reload the shell at all for almost an hour when I had to edit something with the javascript, and I know that because of the date on the top right :D. It's just amazing, definately undisputably a uber leet hack, ya?




How did we go about tabs? Well we wrapped it around our current system for history, content organization, and XHR backend, so it was easy to do, but when we made it we didn't stop at being lazy about it. Here's a screenshot: http://i29.tinypic.com/wvvhhw.jpg




LOLcool. So, as you can tell, we've removed the autoupdate shit and the back and refresh pane. Back and Refresh are now built into the active tab, and to the right you will be able to refresh and go back in the history of a tab.




Easy to switch between tabs as well, just click them. Right click to get options on them as well. As you can see ( http://i27.tinypic.com/o5orrd.jpg ) the options you get include duplicating tabs, deleting them, and even renaming tabs. When you duplicate a tab or create a new one using the "New Tab" button, it will be called "Untitled" until you rename it. It's so easy, fast, and simple to organize and move around these tabs it's not funny, or is it?




So we can use these tabs in conjunction with history, with all of the different things you may do. Also, you can right click links and it will edit either the current tab or you have the option of making a new tab for it. Examples: having the SQL manager open at the login screen while in another tab you're looking at config file DB info, or while you're browing around copying directories you need and in another tab you have your backup directory ready to paste with our new buffer pasting support. OH SHI-



5. Tools System



We've added a sexy little tools system to TDshell, which appears on the navigation :). Also, when you're editing a file, you will see the tools section below. Along with this we've attached custom_sub and submit_sub modules for other features we may impliment in the future. <3




Of course when you use the tools system it doesn't reload the page or even the tab, we did magical squirtlesnacks in a module called submit_sub we added.




Refer to the following screenshots: http://i31.tinypic.com/kesu1k.jpg and http://i29.tinypic.com/2d7g3t2.jpg




Cool.



6. Buffer Pasting Support



Finally we've added this. In previous versions, we've allowed for the appending, clearing, and management of what's called a File Buffer. Stored within the TDshell_buffer module, you can use MultiSelect on files to copy files into the buffer. To the bottom left of directory browsing, you were able to clear your buffer. Now we've allowed the other option that's been disabled for a while since it's under development, Buffer pasting.




Here's a few screens:




http://i31.tinypic.com/10f6q0h.jpg (Select the files and directories you want using multiselect. You can browse to other directories and append to the same buffer.)

http://i30.tinypic.com/i6zevk.jpg (Notice the buffer stats and action buttons)

http://i31.tinypic.com/dykk9i.jpg (Go to the directory you wish to paste in and hit paste)

http://i25.tinypic.com/14kfh3c.jpg (It pasted the directories and files perfectly! Also, when you right click directories, quickview [internal core module] shows us that it pasted the directories recursively, meaning every file inside of them as well.)




BENS EVERYWHERE



7. Small changes



We've fixed tons of bugs and little hidden scatmans and much more. Those include:




Syntax Highlighting Made better, Dependancy Changes for Core Internals, RightContext formatting for normal links now added to ajax_internal contexts, and much more! Read the changelog faggot.

All you've got to do is sing!

So, we've established the fact that TDshell is the most intense, innovative, creative, fast, stealthy, and easy to use shell ever, surpassing DeadlyData's ability to run down the street carrying a TV. It contains features from little tooltips that help along the way to organization of what you wish to do. Now we've attached totally new revolutionary concepts that everyone using TDshell will enjoy. We already have a todo list for the next version, expect awesome new features that will help in every step of the way.

What have we forgotten though? Oh right, the MySQL manager! We've pushed this along, but I'm glad to say officially, in v0.5, we'll be making our own MySQL manager for TDshell. Instead of disorganized and GIANT queries to the server, TDshell will be based on an internal session manager, aka cookie based. You'll be able to organize and save sessions with MySQL servers. Also, since it's cookie based, we've developed a technology called "Extract Sessions". While it's relatively simple, it will allow users of TDshell to select a session to extract, and he may give the outputted link to people over AIM MSN or whatever, and it will automatically create the session and allow them to see what the other person is seeing in TDshell on the SQL manager.

One of the things people bitch about is size of shells, even though it doesn't necessarily matter AT ALL, TDshell decoded is about 190KB. Encoded it's about 230 KB. If you haven't noticed, each build of TDshell in the past except for v0.1 to v0.2 have gotten smaller. Reason for the huge size of TDshell... oh maybe it's the header logo. Using a new encoding / compression system I developed I was able to make the shell smaller, and the image MUCH smaller. keep in mind the entire shell is obfuscated, encoded, randomized, compressed, and encoded with TDenc every time you download, and it's a different variant each time. To keep people happy I've made modules that do the impossible with encoded data, just to make it smaller.

The next build of TDshell will be also be MUCH smaller than it is right now, and faster (by milliseconds).

TDshell v0.3.3 Beta - Released

This news topic is classified as an Important Public Announcement by TheDefaced.

We've released v0.3.3 - Beta (Build 3) officially today.

Among simple bugfixes (such as RightContext menus) and other things, we've made all forms (except file upload) act with javascript (custom XHR functions) instead, so you truly never have to reload TDshell!

We've also made some nice modifications to our shell outputter... and we've decreased the size by about 6 KB (not MB lol).

Also, the entire update checker has been removed from TDshell. Nothing that even makes a connection anymore.

You can download: http://tdshell.thedefaced.org/download.html

Thanks!

Recent Attacks

Recently we've been hit by some big nets getting pseud0 IRC IP nulled a couple times.

We've also been spammed by an "undisclosed" source, although we remain certain of them.

We're holding off the huge nets hitting us, as you can see site is still up, we're trying to keep IRC up but there's some transit connection / latency issues that people have been alerting us of and we can't find a distinct source for it.

We've also been spammed a bit and ddosed, while some drama between a member of our community on IRC has gotten into some beef with g00ns.

It's pretty weird and the whole story I still do not know so I'm not going to be commenting much on anything but what I know.

All I know is that ddos is meaningless at this point it's not affecting our site, and we're making sure it doesn't affect our IRC ;).
