+// Gadu-Gadu Protocol Plugin for Miranda IM
+// Based on unix ekg client functionlity and libgadu
+//
+// Author: Adam Strzelecki <ono+miranda@java.pl>
+//
+// Thanks: Santithorn Bunchua "KeH", Rober Rainwater,
+// libgadu Authors <http://dev.null.pl/ekg/>,
+// Liquid (Image send/recv), The Leech (Proxy fixes)
+// MirandaIM Polish Forum
+// Angeli-Ka (Gadu-Gadu plugin icons)
+///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+
+1. About
+--------
+The Gadu-Gadu plugin provides functionality of original Gadu-Gadu
+client extended with extra features available only for Miranda IM
+users. Gadu-Gadu is most popular (competitive to ICQ) instant
+messaging system in Poland. Now supports encrypted secure SSL/TLS
+connections.
+
+2. Features
+-----------
+ - Send/Receive messages
+ - Add/Delete users
+ - Public catalog search
+ - Public catalog info changing
+ - Import/export/remove from server and text file
+ - Status messages support (offline messages too)
+ - Visibility/ignore lists
+ - Password changing
+ - Password remind
+ - Extended public catalog search
+ - HTTP proxy support (uses only Netlib settings)
+ - Create/Remove Gadu-Gadu account
+ - File transfer
+ - Image receving / sending (by Liquid)
+ - Multiple plugin instances/accounts:
+ <name>.dll or <name>debug.dll becomes proto name and id
+ Warning: <name>.dll or <name>debug.dll is treated as
+ the same proto and name is case insensitive.
+ - 1st user mail & phone used for import/export
+ - SSL/TLS secure connections
+ - Groupchat/conferencing (Miranda IM version 0.4 or higher)
+
+Note: For secure connections this plugin requires OpenSSL DLL
+ libraries to be present in system folder or Miranda folder.
+ These libraries can be downloaded from:
+ - http://www.miranda-im.pl/download/misc/
+ - http://www.openssl.org/.
+ If DLL files are not present plugin works only with plain
+ unsecure connections.
+
+4. TODO
+-------
+ - Animated GIFs support (image sending)
+ - Full Netlib integration
+ - Integration with Miranda Image services
+ - Voice chat

+0.0.4.2: 2007-02-22
+ - Binary release: Recompiled to support new NETLIB settings structure.

+ - Configuration was put into tabs
+ - Fix: Some of the configuration items were not triggering [Apply] properly.
+0.0.3.8: 2006-06-26
+ - Fix: It seems that GG servers now properly handle initial status for GG.
+ This should fix issue of being detected by Inwigilator when connecting with
+ invisible status. (Spotted and fixed thanks to piopawlu)
+ - Fix: New libgadu version 2006.06.21 with fixed some memory leaks
+ - Fix: GG now handles PS_SETAWAYMSG without previously called PS_SETSTATUS.
+ This should fix issue with Watrack that couldn't set the status message
+ for GG protocol. (Spotted and fixed thanks to mruweq)
+ - Fix: We were reading from freed variable after new account registration
+ - Fix: Possible crash when closing debug version
+0.0.3.7: 2005-12-19
+ - Image sending and receiving now uses ImgDecoder if present for PNG images
+ - Fix: String fix for error dialogs' titles
+0.0.3.6: 2005-11-15

+ - Fix: Password retrieval was broken

+ - Fix: Yet another image receive fix, libgadu fixes introduced ghost image
+ messages
+ - Small code formatting fixes
+0.0.3.3: 2005-07-19
+ - Fix: Serious multiple vulnerabilities of libgadu upto ekg version 1.6rc3
+0.0.3.2: 2005-07-14
+ - Fix: libgadu event.c commit version 1.83 by szalik introduced bug that was
+ crashing Miranda on image receive, since it was designed specially for Kadu
+0.0.3.1: 2005-07-12
+ - Hidden db setting "EraOmnix" for being visible as EraOmnix client
+ - Fix: Temporary contacts cannot see our status when having "Friends only"
+ (Features thanks to JacekFH)

+0.0.2.9: 2005-04-29
+ - Fix: Status descriptions were not set properly when Miranda wasn't asking
+ for new status. This change may cause incompatibility with status routines
+ different than built-in. Note for misc plugins (mBot, etc.):
+ For avoiding sending gg_setstatus(status, description) twice on
+ miranda_setstatus and miranda_setawaymsg, GG sets status only on
+ miranda_setawaymsg, also this order must be fulfilled to make GG working
+ right with Miranda. (this is how internal module sraway works actually)
+ - When reconnect flag is set and manual server host cycling is on the end of
+ the list, reconnect will go back to the begin
+ (no longer taking address from web at the end)
+ - Fix: Stupid GetModuleFileName returning all lowercase characters from
+ DLL filename > WinNT, now we call GetLongPathName to retrieve valid case
+0.0.2.8: 2005-04-14

+ - Fix: Code of image routines was simplyfied, however needs more care (unstable)
+ - Server host and external forwarding host could be specified as a hostname or

+ IPs and DNS mapping services such as dyndns.org.
