History changes:
1.18 (12.04.1998)
-----------------
BUGFIX: Message requester: The light gray background fill entered the string
gadget's domain.
Reported by Allan Odgaard. Thanks!
Message History: Texts with new lines were truncated.
Information box in upper part of main window: Stopped working, due to
server software update. It also crashed if the server had crashed :(
NEW: Added MUIA_String_AdvanceOnCR to all the string gadgets, so return now
behaves like TAB.
If you forget to send a text you have entered into the text field in the
message requester AmiComSys will notify you.
Removed limit of message length in HotLine and Private Chat (PChat).
(If you are using Newstring.mcc as textfield gadget there is a limit of 500
characters.)
Added smart activate, which means that the message requesters don't steal the
current focus while you are using the keyboard. The time since the last key
press and when it is okey to open in active state is settable in the window
settings page - Message requester tab (Activate delay).
Above sugguested by Allan Odgaard. Thanks!
Empty messages are not sent anymore.
Changed string-class settings, so you have to set it again. Betterstring.mcc
is now default for the 68020+/WB3.0+ version.
If the default public screen is to small for the message requester a new screen
will open.
The message requester handles new lines in a better way. It is now also able to
show text in bold, italic and underlined style. Also added justification (left,
right and center). Notice that you currently cannot send such a message ...
You can now choose if the email entered into the settings should be showed to
the public, in the personal settings (Public).
Added a banned user setting on the network-settings-page, due to popular demand.
Insert nick names or real names of people who harass you or you don't want to
talk with.
The old banned users setting for registered users was removed. The Autosave-
history feature is now registered users only.
Removed Topic text field from the PChat-windows.
Made the Client Info requester a MUI-window. To send the home page to your
browser you now have to press the http://domainname button.
This program is ShareWare.
