AtarICQ 0.145


-Please support AtarICQ! We have put tremendous efforts into this version!-



New stuff since 0.144 public release:


-Incoming window and "send message" window are merged into one!
 All people that either send you a message, or that you send a message 
 to, will be added to a "quick list". Walk through the list by hitting 
 TAB (forward) or TAB+SHIFT (backwards) when message window is on top.
 Quick list is only valid for current session! Delete a nick from the 
 quick list by double clicking on "Msg to [nn]"
 
-Add a nick manually to quick list by double clicking on it in 
 contact list window
 
 CTRL+N (new message) opens this window with last active UIN (if any)
 CTRL+R (reply) opens this window to send a reply message

 Icon in msg window will show status mode for current contact (reciever)
 
-Message window position is now saved with the config file. Hey James 
 Haslam ;))

-Resize and scrollback are implemented for the new message window

-Rough wrapping added for text input area. Move cursor between rows 
 and cols by using key arrows or mouse.

-Rough paste functio (CTRL+V) added to message window

-AtarICQ 0.144 would disconnect the user if the connection was idle. 
 My connection is never idle so I never discovered this myself ;)) 
 Anyway, this is fixed and this version should also connect to 
 Mirabilis a lot faster than 0.144

-New entry in config will allow you to determine what modes the 
 auto-topping function should be triggered for. Read more in 
 "alertmod.txt" where useage is fully explained

-Hypertext is linked to AtarICQ. When HELP key is pressed, ST-GUIDE 
 will show the appropriate help section (if present). If ST-GUIDE is 
 installed it should not matter if HYP is in workdir of AtarICQ 
 (prefered) or the general GUIDES folder. If ST-GUIDE is not started, 
 AtarICQ will (if HYP is located in its workdir) tell AV-SERVER to deal 
 with the HYP.

-If found, HOME path will be used to save configuration to
 Therefore that file changes name from "contacts.inf" to "ataricq.inf" 
 This is _very_ important for you old users that wish to use your old 
 configuration file!!!
 
-Entry "log_path=\logfiles\" in ataricq.inf will allow you to specify a 
 special dir for saving all log files. If written like in example it 
 will save it to a subdir (called logfiles) of the ataricq directory.
 You can use full path as well. Do not forget to close it with a "\"

-Mini icons will show what statusmode the online contacts has
 If contact is "online" there will be no icon to the left of that nick.
 Change line "online_icon=0" to "online_icon=-1" in config to enable.

-Changed status lines to real lines instead of string with "-". If you 
 are a config "tweaker" you can set one colour for the line, and one 
 colour for the text. (online/offline)
 (Look for "msg_bg_colour=x", "msg_fg_colour=x" in ataricq.inf)

-Some sound_play modes will buffer the sounds before playing them. 
 This can be disabled if you are short of RAM. Check SOUND.TXT

-There is now a working native MiNTnet overlay! Dan has done a great 
 job on that! Thanks also goes to Ozk, AltF4 and Fna for lending a hand. :) 
 

+more minor tweasks than anyone care to remember.. ;)


Enjoy this version, and please consider to register if you end up
