One year in the making — PSPoste Beta 7. Well maybe not a straight year of development, but it’s been a solid 365+ days since we last saw a PSPoste update, coincidentally from last year’s Canadian thanksgiving weekend to this one.

Beta 7 stems from the original PSPoste team — David, Ben, and Sajeeth — with props to ZX-81 for his iR keyboard/PSPSSH contribution.

PSPoste was the first and remains the only fully functional email client for the PlayStation Portable. Yes, I’m now convinced it’s the one and only. It supports SMTP and POP3 protocols, provides a skinnable user interface, iR keyboard support for PSP Fat owners, as well as other usable input methods for the rest of us.

PSPoste Beta 7 changes:

• Support more IR keyboards by using the pspirkeyb library, see PSPoste/Data/pspirkeyb/ for configuration of your keyboard.
• Better random number generation for TLS based connections, acknowledgments to ZX-81 for his work on PSPSSH and Theodore Tso for the original RNG work.
• On first start, users will be prompted to press buttons randomly to generate the random seed file.
• Fix a crash when opening the settings window when no network connections are defined.
• Fix another crash opening the settings window that would occur randomly.
• Fix a bug in the logging mechanism that meant errors and output weren’t properly being written out to the log files.
• Use the extra RAM of the PSP Slim.
• Fix a problem connecting using a manually configured WPA connection.
• Make the cursor visible at all times while typing (as opposed to blinking throughout).
• Explicitly load the IrDA module so IR Keyboards work on firmwares > 3.03OE.
• Adjust heap and thread stack sizes.
• Fix some memory leaks and uninitialized variables.
• Set the timezone to whatever the PSP has configured.

Note: as requested by the PSPoste Team, we will not mirror their downloads directly; instead you’ll find yourself on a sourceforge project page with all available packages.
