Hey guys.

Please can we get the source code to pyro, or a fix for the leave room crash! Please please please :)

I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that Pyro is abandonware. The devs clearly don’t care enough to keep it updated.

I suggest start using Fluid which, while missing some of the nicer Campfire-specific features of Pyro, is at least stable and in active development.

If you don’t want Campfire-specific features, I suggest using Safari. The whole point of Pyro is the Campfire integration.

While I agree that an update to Pyro is overdue, I just don’t see the situation as that dire; we happily use Pyro, despite the Safari 3 -introduced problems, every day.

We do have fixes for some of the current issues in the pipeline. Of course, our commercial work takes precedence over Pyro, and I regret the minuscule amount of development resources that has left Pyro with. We have our reasons for not open sourcing Pyro, though, and they are not going to change regardless of the development schedule.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for coming off so frustrated, but at least for me, the Safari 3 bugs are a big issue, given the way I work. I really hope the fixes are coming soon, can you give us an idea when?

As for the “point” of Pyro being Campfire-specific, that is true, but for me, the standalone nature of it is the prime benefit. That is why I mentioned Fluid; it lets you create standalone versions of basically any website, so in that sense, it works well for Campfire, which I prefer not to have as part of my browsing sessions.

Its not just about fixing the stability issues from Safari 3, its also about refining the program and adding some new features.
