Release notes
This version of the phpFreeChat module for Drupal fixes all known bugs, restores the link to the Drupal profile in the nick info box (this broke with phpFreeChat 1.1), and adds a new "away" feature. It works with phpFreeChat 1.2 (latest release).
The "away" feature is a toggle that lets users indicate when they are away from their computer, and when they are back again. It can be triggered in two ways - clicking on the new "door" button that opens and closes to indicate status, or typing /away on the command line (which also causes the door to open and close). Others in the chat are notified by a status message, and the string "(away)" is added to or removed from the user's nickname in the list. There is sometimes a slight delay between when the command is executed and when it's implemented. This is due to coding within phpFreeChat itself. The away feature will eventually be added to phpFreeChat core (the original author asked me to do that).
There is still a timeout problem - no matter how high the setting, users still time out after 20 minutes or so of inactivity. But this is a problem within phpFreeChat, not the Drupal module. The problem has been reported on the phpFreeChat site.
