What's New (1.4.0): “Chibi Paint” and support for layer files are now included. Other fetaures include new stats on the diagnostics page, BBCode support with revised usage rules, support for transparrent thumbnails and proper blending with JPEG thumbnails, a test for corrupt PNG files, better autolinking and URL/e-mail filtering, a fix for PaintBBS Javascript callback issue, and a bunch of code cleanup.

Technically, 1.4.0 is a bugfixed version of 1.3.14, and has as many features as is realistic to add with the current code. Wacintaki is not likely to receive new features, and is due to be replaced by a new oekaki system. My only plan for the future is to fix post insertion, the image retouch caching issue, and merge Wax Poteto with Wacintaki (alternate menus).

SocketPermission errors: If you're having trouble with SocketPermission erorrs when submitting pictures with the applets, try using Internet Explorer or Opera. The Firefox version of the Java plugin is confirmed to have a network connection bug. Sun claims newer versions of Java have been fixed, but applets are still not connecting to some servers due to network address resolution issues.

Wacintaki Poteto is a CSS conversion of Oekaki Poteto 5.x. It is a complete Oekaki BBS with many new features compared to Poteto, including full support for Shi-Painter and Chibi Paint, file uploads, various fixes, and much lower bandwidth usage. Wacintaki also has a nifty resize option, which resizes the paint applet to fit your whole screen (no more teeny applet windows)!

This version is not supported by Theo Chakkapark or anyone else involved with the original Oekaki Poteto project. For technical support, please post issues with this version on the NineChime Forum.

What's New (5.7.0): Basically, everything from Wacintaki 1.3.14 and 1.4.0, including Chibi Paint support, XHTML compliance, several changes to the interface, transparrent thumbnails, and BBCode. Wax now has improved CSS templates and a brand new template editor with better previews.

New templates: Custom templates created with the basic template editor are compatible with 5.7.0. If you wish to update them to the new format, simply import and re-save them in the new template editor. Custom and “advanced” templates may require further updating after being converted. Required and optional variables are identified in the editor. Please make back-ups of your existing custom templates!

SocketPermission errors: If you're having trouble with SocketPermission erorrs when submitting pictures with the applets, try using Internet Explorer or Opera. The Firefox version of the Java plugin is confirmed to have a network connection bug. Sun claims newer versions of Java have been fixed, but applets are still not connecting to some servers due to network address resolution issues.

Wax Poteto is now discontinued. Fixes will be released, but no new features will be added.

MBackup

Screenshot

First release

MBackup is a script to back-up the member profiles on an OekakiPoteto or compatible oekaki board. It allows for several recovery options, and is intended as a quick, easy way to back-up your profiles, add members from other OP boards to a “master” board, or move an OP board to a new server.

It will only back-up the member profiles, not posts and comments. Use a database administration tool, like phpMyAdmin, to back-up an entire database.

OekakiBBS Import

Screenshot

New for 1.1: Updated for new Wacintaki 1.3 config file format.

OekakiBBS Import will convert an OekakiBBS v1.32 board to an OekakiPoteto, Wax Poteto, or Wacintaki BBS. Versions of OekakiBBS older than v1.32 have not been tested.
