+ Version history:
+
+0.0.2.6 - 2006/08/03
+
+ * added file hashing (pescuma)
+ * rewrote the picture loading code. It is now running in a background thread
+ at low priority. The loader thread is the only instance which actually writes
+ to the cache entries. It does this with a small delay and notifies the hook
+ subscribers when a picture has been loaded. While it is not fully loaded,
+ the fallback protocol picture may be used. This makes connecting or
+ loading the clist with lots of avatars significantly faster at the cost
+ of delayed picture appearance.
+ It may also help with the sporadic lockups since the part of the code which
+ runs in the callers thread context is now much simpler.
+
+0.0.2.5 - 2006/07/30
+
+ * fixed updater support
+ * moved InitPolls() to ModulesLoaded() to avoid a problem with missing
+ core services.
+ * fixed keyboard navigation glitch in the Customize->Contact pictures dialog.
+
+0.0.2.4 - 2006/07/30
+
+ * bugfix (missing protocol avatars after migrating to new relpath)
+ * added proper version info resource record (showing ansi/unicode)
+ * added project files for Visual C++ 6 (source code release only)
+
+0.0.2.3 - 2006/07/11
+
+ * should now work better with metacontacts. Subcontact avatar changes are
+ "forwarded" to the master contact.
+
+ * relative path names are now relative to the DATABASE directory, not
+ Mirandas root directory.
+
+ * missing picture files and/or invalid database entries will now result
+ in a refresh request.
+
+0.0.2.0 introduced big internal changes. New request queue system (written by Pescuma)
+ loadavatars no longer depends on imgdecoder.dll, but needs a recent png2dib
+ plugin (supplied with Miranda 0.4.3.x nightly builds)
+
+0.0.1.12 - 0.0.2.2 - released via nightlys (see SVN changelog)
+
+0.0.1.11 - 2005/11/10
+
+ + added patch by pescuma for making normal avatars transparent (or semi-
+ transparent).
+ There are global (under Customize->Contact pictures) and per contact settings
+ (contact menu -> Contact picture...). In order to get good results, you will need
+ to tweak the settings a bit - it works for most avatar pictures with a uni-color
+ background, but it really depends on the image.
+
+ + built with Visual Studio 2005 (Visual C++ 8.0). The DLL is now statically
+ linked, so they are somewhat bigger, but it avoids error messages because of the
+ new VC++ 8 runtime which is not installed on most PCs.
+
+ + added unicode version (loadavatarsW.dll) which will display unicode nicknames in
+ the "per user" contact picture dialog.
+
+ + added services and events to manage own avatar pictures. See m_avatars.h for more
+ information. Also, the drawing service was enhanced to allow drawing your own
+ avatars.
+
+0.0.1.10 - 2005/10/19
+
+ ! added support for jabber avatar updates.
+
+ + better cleanup on Unload()
+
+0.0.1.9 - 2005/10/18
+
+ * accept .dat as valid image extension (sometimes, icq avatars are saved as .dat
+ files, even if they are actually JPG images (reason unknown, but we can load
+ them anyway. MS_UTILS_LOADBITMAP will return an error when the file is not
+ really a valid image - the extension doesn't matter).
+
+0.0.1.8 - 2005/10/17
+
+ ! fix. Don't show tray warning messages about invalid avatar file size when
+ the option "Show warning messages" on Customize->Contact pictures is unchecked.
+
+ * changed way how protocols are enabled/disabled. After protocols have been added
+ or removed, "new" protocols are automatically enabled, so you don't have to do
+ that manually any more.
+
+ * you can completely disable the size limit check by setting the size limit on
+ Customize->Contact List to 0 (zero).
+
+0.0.1.7 - 2005/10/16
+
+ * bugfix: check filenames more aggressivly.
+
+ * bugfix: premultiply was broken (thanks FYR)
+
+ + added a service to draw a contacts picture to a target device context.
+ See m_avatars.h for description on how to use that service.
+
+ + added file size limitation to the picture loader. The default are 70Kbytes,
+ should be enough for most avatar pictures (they have to be small images).
+ The limit can be increased on the option page (Customize->contact pictures).
+
+0.0.1.5 - 2005/09/15
+
+ + added updater support
+
+ * moved option page to Customize->Contact pictures
+
+0.0.1.4 - 2005/08/31
+
+ * cache reallocs will now send avatar change notifies (realloc() may move the
+ cache in memory, so pointers to avatar cache entries may become invalid).
+
+ ! bugfix - badly written protocols which load themself too late are now
+ skipped and won't cause troubles because of the protocol list reallocation.
+
+0.0.1.3 - 2005/08/30
+
+ + ability to lock the avatar (protect from automatic updates). Useful, if you
+ have set a local contact picture and don't want it to be overwritten.
+ Actually, the feature does not really lock the avatar updating - it will
+ only save the picture from being overwritten.
+
+ + added UI to set/change/lock avatar. DEVELOPERS please check m_avatars.h on how
+ to use the service from your own plugins. There are now services to lock and/or
+ set the avatar, either by providing a valid image filename or by using a file
+ selection dialog. Also, there is a service to call the avatar dialog for a
+ hContact.
+
+ * struct avatarCacheEntry has changed too. It now provides szFilename which
+ will contain the full image filename of the current avatar in use.
+
+ * added a menu item to the contact menu which allows to set avatar options (local
+ picture, locked avatar, and a "hidden" attribute).
+ The hidden attribute is set in the struct avatarCacheEntry
+
+ + added support for PNG images (imgdecoder.dll needs to be present in either the
+ main miranda directory or the \Plugins subfolder. Transparent PNG images are
+ supported and the avatar service will perform the premultiplication of alpha
+ values so that the image can (and should) be rendered with the AlphaBlend()
+ API.
+
+0.0.1.2 - 2005/08/20
+
+ + the service now creates and uses relative filenames for all contact pictures,
+ including protocol avatars, if possible.
+
+ * for protocols which are in "invisible" status, no active avatar fetching
+ is performed. This is to avoid problems with MSN and privacy issues for
+ other protocols (if you're invisible, then the protocol should not initiate
+ any outbound communications which may require direct p2p connections).
+
+ * an option page has been added. Currently, you can:
+
+ + select, for which protocols the service should ACTIVELY fetch avatars.
+ If you set a protocols to "inactive" (uncheck it), already existing
+ avatars for contacts of that protocol will continue to work, but the
+ service will no longer actively refresh avatars.
+
+ + set protocol pictures (pseudo avatars). You can select local pictures
+ for each installed protocol. These will be used as a fallback then, if
+ no avatar is available for a contact. You can also remove these pictures.
+
+ * don't fetch avatars for contacts which are either blocked or set on the
+ invisibility list (ApparentMode == ID_STATUS_OFFLINE). Reason: No active
+ outbound communications w/o user intervention should be initiated for blocked
+ contacts.
+
+ + added support for the updater plugin.
+
+0.0.1.1 - 2005/08/06
+
+ * changed API. Don't return HBITMAP directly, but instead, it returns
+ a pointer to a struct avatarCacheEntry which can be used to obtain
+ the bitmap handle.
+
+0.0.1.0 - 2005/08/05
+
+ * initial release, cvs import.
