We have posted an update for XBConnect 5.0 on the website. This update addresses a few issues reported by our users and brings back the mute function for pro users. We have also tweaked IRC security and altered come of the console detection process. We have also fixed the room name overlapping when a large number or people are present. This update is also available in the autoupdater.

There are still a few things we want to add to version 5 before we begin on the next major release (mac address locking, some lan improvements and 64 bit driver support).

What’s next? Well, I have been playing around a lot with PIC microcontrollers, initially for interfacing the Xbox directly into the PC. I've since been playing around with a PIC controlled Ethernet device that will be plugged directly into the Xbox and be able to do a lot of XBC's work. There are just so many things a guy can do with PIC controllers. The sky is really the limit. We'd also like to continue our clan support and create a stripped down client that will use minimal resources. Anyway, there is a lot of work to do. Game on!
