We have just releases Chatroulette Clone Version 1.7.

This version includes all the UI enhancements that we’ve introduced to our demo sites a few days ago.

Abuse reporting

You have asked for it, we have listened: Chatroulette Clone now ships with fully automatic abuse reporting. Here is how it works:

Whenever a user engaged in a session finds the remote user behaving inappropriately, she can click the new Report button available inside the remote video display.

Internally, Chatroulette Clone maintains an abuse count for each individual user. Once a configurable threshold is met, the reported user gets kicked out of the system.

Reporting a chat partner is limited to once per connection, preventing users from kicking others out by repeatedly sending reports.

As always, labels and dialog texts can be freely changed without a need to recompile the application.

Flex 4 / Flash Builder 4 support

Last week Adobe released the newest version of the Flex SDK, Flex Framework and the integrated development environment, Flex Builder. For whatever reason, Adobe renamed the IDE to Flash Builder 4. Don’t get confused, Flash Builder 4 is indeed the successor of Flex Builder 3!

Starting with Chatroulette Clone 1.7 we will ship the project for Flash Builder 4 and the latest stable Flex SDK 3.5.

As in the past, you can also work with the freely available trial versions of Flash Builder 4.

We hope you like our latest release and are looking forward to your feedback!

    This is the best Chatroulette can ever get and keeps getting better. Am really impressed with the software. Keep up the good work guys.

    A suggestion would be to start a discussion forum. As right now I have some issues configuring my DB to work with the clone and finding it difficult to get a solution. The community can help each other.

    Normally I don’t bother giving testimonials for applications I buy, but I have to make an exception this time.

    This application is fantastic, and the support is absolutely stellar! After I installed the app on a subdomain and in a non-root directory I had some issues I couldnt solve myself, and Anna from the Chatroulette support team gave me fast and super effective assistance. In no time the app was running perfectly.

    The best part about this app is probably that it comes with ALL the source files. Which means you can change absolutely everything. You can change functionality, completely control the layout and the design…ie it is completely scalable. Also, the way all the code and files are structured is very logical and highly professional, making it that much easier to work with the app.

    Looking forward to the next release already!
