+ClientChangeNotify plugin for Miranda IM.
+(c) Chervov Dmitry aka Deathdemon.
+
+This plugin shows a notification when someone in your contact list changes his client.
+It requires Popup or YAPP plugin.
+
+"Ignore these clients" setting is a list of substrings separated by semicolons; if ClientChangeNotify finds one of these substrings in a new client name, it doesn't show the notification.
+Also it's possible to use regular expressions, but it requires pcre.dll or pcre3.dll in your miranda directory.
+PCRE is available from http://www.pcre.org/ (Binaries for Windows are here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/pcre-bin-zip.php )
+When PCRE library is installed successfully, ClientChangeNotify will show "you can use regular expressions here" under the "Ignore these clients" field in the options.
+
+Regular expressions are detected by '/' symbol at the start of the substring. The same symbol must be at the end of the substring, possibly followed by pattern modifier characters. I.e. "gmail;/[0-9A-F]{8}(\W|$)/i;skype" has two usual substrings and one regexp substring with an "i" modifier (caseless).
+
+There are several solutions to filter jgmail client changes:
+1) Disable notification about client version changes
+(Miranda options -> Popups -> ClientChangeNotify -> "Notify also when just client version changes" checkbox, turn it off).
+This solution is somewhat easier, but ClientChangeNotify won't notify you of any client version changes.
+2) Disable client change notifications for separate contacts
+3) Install PCRE library (see the download link above), and make sure that substring "/[0-9A-F]{8}(\W|$)/" is present in the "Ignore these clients" field of the ClientChangeNotify options. If the substring is not there, add it.
+This solution is the most correct.
+
+ClientChangeNotify supports per-contact notification setting. There are two ways to use it: either by using ContactSettings plugin that adds a GUI to easily modify this setting, or by modifying the database directly:
+Contact/ClientChangeNotify/Notify (BYTE) =
+ 0 - completely disable notifications for this contact
+ 1 - show notifications always, except when ClientChangeNotify popups are turned off
+ 2 - show notifications always, even when ClientChangeNotify popups are turned off
+ 3 (default) - use global settings (the plugin will examine the following two checkboxes before deciding whether to show the notification: "Notify also when just client version changes" and "Don't notify for contacts with disabled status notification")
