-
- * Made project GCC / MingW32 compatible. Added makefile(s) and project
- files.
-
- + option added to allow clist being shown on task bar, under the following
- circumstances:
-
- a) Window style is set to "title bar" (ordinary Window like any other,
- not border- or frameless).
- b) Option "Always hide on task bar" (Options->Contact List-> Window) is
- DISABLED. This option is enabled by default.
-
- Does not work with skinned contact list, only when using a default windows
- theme.
-
- * corrected some visual glitches in various option dialogs.
-
-0.8.0.2 - 2007/10/20
-
- * advanced option to save position while moving or resizing (old behaviour)
- Use DBEditor++ and set CLUI/save_pos_always (BYTE value) to 1. RESTART
- MIRANDA thereafter (the setting is only read at plugin startup).
- Deleting the value or set it to 0 to disable it (save position/size only
- when Miranda exits).
-
- * new option for floating contacts (Fill with contact list background color).
- If enabled, floaters will be filled with this color before drawing the skin
- item. This allows people who don't use a skin at all to show the floaters w/o
- having them fully transparent.
-
-0.8.0.1 - 2007/10/02
-
- * removed all hardcoded instances of the MetaContacts protocol name
-
-0.8.0.0 - 2007/10/02
-
- * released for Miranda 0.7. NOT compatible with 0.6 or earlier.
-
-0.7.2.1 - 2007/09/xx
-
- * completed floating contacts (patch by yaho, yaho@miranda-easy.net). All the
- options on Options->Contact List->Floating contacts are now working and a few
- new features (transparency, snapping) have been added.
-
- * reworked options. Display profiles is now where you can set most things for
- the contact layout. Right now, only one profile (<current>) is available, but
- in the future, there will be the possibility to configure multiple profiles for
- quickly changing display options.
-
-0.7.1.1 - 2007/01/25
-
- * more options for per contact display settings.
-
- * the font colors for selected and hottracked skin items are no longer ignored.
-
- * removed internal font configuration dialog. Customize->Fonts is now where fonts
- and colors can be configured for NON-SKINNED MODE ONLY. Otherwise, settings from
- Customize->Contact List skin->Skin items are used.
-
-0.7.1.0 - 2007/01/20
-
- * removed old icon code. From now on, clist_nicer requires IcoLib services, either
- via IcoLib plugin or by using Miranda 0.7.x build.
-
- * added new option to auto-apply last active view mode when the contact list
- starts (Options->Contact List)
-
- * Removed the "Priority Contact" menu item. This can now be found in the new
- "Contact settings" dialog which is an improved version of the old "Visibility and
- Ignore" dialog. It allows to set various other options "per contact" (e.g. avatar
- display override/disable, 2nd line of text display option etc.).
-
-0.7.0.x - see SVN for changes. Mostly bugfixes, no new features.
-
-0.6.0.7 - 2006/03/xx
-
- * added 2 items to the view mode menu, allowing to:
- 1) setup view modes
- 2) clear the current view mode
-
- * fixed another frame ordering bug.
-
-0.6.0.6 - 2006/02/28
-
- * fixed possible crash on exit bug.
-
- * fixed auth requests not appearing on the tray & event area
-
- * improved performance for "sort by last message" - event timestamps are only
- retrieved when actually needed.
-
- * Various CLUIframes tweaks and fixes to get rid of some annoying problems with
- frame re-ordering after deleting or installing frame-aware plugins.
-
-0.6.0.5 - 2006/01/30
-
- * groups now have their own alignment option.
- * Always left
- * Always right
- * Automatic (in that case, RTL detection will determine whether the group name will
- be right or left aligned).
-
- ! fixed hit-testing for right-aligned groups (you can now click on the expand/collapse
- icon even if it is aligned to the right).
-
- * sort by last message works "dynamically" now (when new messages or events arrive,
- the contact list will update its sorting).
-
- + started floating contacts implementation. Quite big changes, will take a while until
- it is usable.
-
-0.6.0.4 - 2006/01/27
-
- ! The option "If window is partially covered..." should no longer affect the
- minimize/maximize feature when the visual style in use has a rounded window frame.
-
- ! more docking tweaks (still possible minor visual glitches)
-
- * tweaked RTL detection for group names and completely disabled RTL for the non-
- unicode build.
-
- ! fixed long standing CLUIframes bug - Position up/down is now working for all top
- or bottom aligned frames, so re-arranging frames shouldn't be longer a problem.
-
-0.6.0.3 - 2006/01/27
-
- * fixed possible memory allocation - related crash on startup.
-
-0.6.0.2 - 2006/01/27
-
- * still bugfixing phase. Some troubles with autosizing were fixed.
-
- fix: sticky taskbar button when there shouldn't be one (e.g. borderless mode)
- restored the old way of skinning the clist with the desktop wallpaper (the
- option "Use these settings to skin the entire background" now works like it did
- in older builds).
-
- * added "priority contacts" - you can toggle a priority contact in the contact menu
- (right click). A priority contact will always be on top of the list or its group
- and override the normal sorting order. If there are multiple priority contacts
- per group, then they will be sorted according to the normal contact list sorting,
- but will still all stay on top of the group.
-
- * added multilevel sorting. Up to 3 levels of sorting can be selected to sort the clist.
- There are 4 available sorting criterias, as following:
-
- * name
- * protocol
- * status
- * last message received
-
- The feature works similar to the sorting in clist_modern. It respects the setting "Do
- not separate offline contacts" and will also take priority contacts into account.
-
- * improved docking. Should now work again, but the clist must have one of the following
- frame styles:
-
- * tool window
- * thin border
- * no border.
-
- With the default border/title bar, docking doesn't work (may or may be not fixed in the
- future, but it doesn't matter much - most people prefer to dock the clist without any
- title bar at all.
-
- * status floater fixed. In some cases, it appeared when it shouldn't (auto-hide was
- "reversed"). Also, the event area on the status floater will now clear events when
- the clist is hidden.
-
-0.6.0.00 - 2006
-
- * from now on, clist_nicer+ is based on the new clist interface code which was
- introduced in 0.4.3.x (nightly build #42). It is no longer compatible with older
- versions of the miranda core and requires a recent core + database plugin.
- We call this "post clist revolution", because the changes in the contact list api
- were HUGE and required a lot of changes to all contact list plugins.
-
-0.5.1.17 - 2005/11/20
-
- ! fixed a few minimize/maximize issues with various border styles.
- Minimize now always follow the "miniemize to tray" setting
-
-0.5.1.16 - 2005/11/20
-
- + added UNICODE_AWARE so that a unicode core will not reject the contact list.
-
-0.5.1.15 - 2005/11/05
-
- ! toolbar icon bugs (introduced in .14) fixed.
-
- ! fixed flickering group header items when group skin items are set to be ignored.
-
- * GDI+ text rendering is disabled since the results were not satisfying. You can
- still enable it if you want.
-
- Use dbeditor and create the following setting:
- CLC/gdiplustext (BYTE value, set it to 1).
-
- + added per contact skin items. There is no UI for that (and there probably won't
- come one). It can be done by editing a .ini style file which can be loaded when
- at startup or during runtime (from the Background+ options page).
-
- See the included contacts.cln for description how per contact skinning works and
- how to create your own personal .ini file.
-
- Note that per contact skinning should be considered an advanced and probably rarely
- used feature. Future enahancements, like more advanced contact matching, are
- possible, but I don't think I'll make an UI for it.
-
- * moved the invisible/visible icons to the right so they are now aligned with the
- other extra icons. Looks better, also it makes much better text flow possible. If
- the avatar is high enough to allow more than 2 lines of text, the 2nd row (status
- message) will wrap and show with multiple lines (if needed). The text flows
- around the icons so that the available space is used in the best possible way.
-
- + added ability to right align the entire contact list. This will just mirror the
- entire display, so right becomes left and vice versa.
- On the advanced options page you can specify when this should happen.
-
- + added new toolbarbutton. "Status menu" -> can be used to set and show the current
- global status.
-
- + added option to set the border and titlebar type on Options->Contact List->Window.
- 4 options are possible.
- * Normal (normal title bar, window frame)
- * Tool window (toolstyle titlebar, thinner window frame)
- * Thin border (one pixel, black border)
- * No border (nothing, no title bar, no window border).
-
- * BIG skinning changes. See the skinning.howto for more detail on how to use it. Along
- with this, some options now have different effects. Particularly the "Rounded window"
- and "Clip border by" options now only work when the clist is set to full transparency.
- If you only want to remove the border - don't use the clipping anymore, use the new
- "Border" option to set the title bar and border to "None".
-
- * several memory leaks fixed, optimized drawing performance.
-
- + smoother resizing in skinned and transparent mode
-
- + added a status floater (activate it in the contact lists context menu -> appearance.
- The floater shows the same status as the global status mode button (most online
- status mode) and the icon. The floater allows you to access:
-
- * the status menu (left click the icon)
- * the main menu (right click the floater anywhere).
-
- The floater can be skinned by defining its skin item (Background+ page). It can be
- transparent, have rounded corners and so on. You can drag the floater around with
- the left mouse button, its size, however, is automatically calculated so that the
- longest status mode text will "fit" on it.
- You can also set the floater to auto hide (context menu->Appearance->Auto Hide
- Floater) in which case it will only be visible when the contact list is minimized
- or hidden.
- And finally, the floater can show a copy of the event area.
-
- + changed RTL behaviour a bit. When rtl alignment is set to "Never", RTL text will
- be printed left to right, that is, no RTL alignment will be made in any case and the
- contact list will look like normal (left to right aligned) for all contacts.
- A new option "RTL TEXT only" has been added to the alignment options which will,
- when active, only align the text label, but not "mirror" the entire contact.
-
- RTL text is still autodetected, but the formatting depends on the setting of the
- "Right align" combo box.
-
- + added UNICODE_AWARE flag so that the clist will load with new unicode cores
-
-0.5.1.14 - 2005/10/15
-
- ! fixed misising status messages (rarely happening, but still possible)
-
- ! some skin items were ignoring margin settings (frame titles, event area).
-
- You can also specifiy the colors which will be used to draw the 3d border for the
- "Raised" and "Sunken" border styles.
-
- ! corrected docking with active border clipping (no more gaps between the clist window
- and the screen edge).
-
- * the import/export function now imports and exports more skin-related settings.
-
- * View Modes: new group entry -> Ungrouped contacts. Check if you want to include
- ungrouped contacts in the current view mode. Uncheck it, if ungrouped contacts should
- be filtered out.
-
- * cvs synced with clist_classic (minor translation fixes)
-
- ! fixed ugly tray tooltip on 9x systems (when using mTooltip)
-
- + added toolbar buttons for accessing the view mode functions (select, modify, clear).
- Remember, you can configure the toolbar by right clicking on any toolbar button and
- choosing the buttons you want to see from the button submenu.
-
- + added button skinning. There are 4 new items on the Background+ page. Toolbar buttons
- pressed/not pressed and UI buttons pressed/not pressed. The first is only used for the
- toolbar, the latter is used for all other buttons (the menu and status button at the
- bottom and the buttons in the view mode frame).
- Note that in order to get UI buttons skinned, you need to activate the "Set all
- buttons to skinned mode" option on the Background+ page. Also, for best results,
- enable the "Skin entire background" setting on the Background option page.
-
- With the two color boxes "3D border bright / dark" on the Background+ button you
- can configure the colors for 3d highlighting of skin items (when the border style
- is set to either "Raised" or "Sunken".
-
- * fixed small alignment bug (right aligned avatars and extra icons)
-
- * fixed several hittesting bugs for the extra icons when avatars are set to right
- aligned.
-
- * fixed bug when creating subgroup (garbage groupnames appearing) (unicode version
- only).
-
- + added separate row height value for group items (Options->Contact List->List).
-
- + improved performance - While connecting the protocols, the clist sorts and
- redraws less frequently than normal. Also, some minor improvements in the painting
- handler will skip things which don't need to be drawn more effectively.
-
- + added "drag on toolbar" - you can now drag the contact list window using any empty
- space on the toolbar. Effectively, the toolbar behaves like a title bar now.
-
- * fixed group name display (alignments, unneeded ellipsis appearing, quicksearch with
- centered group names).
-
- * put xstatus menu(s) directly as submenus below the the protocol menus. So they are
- now available from the status bar menus aswell.
-
- + many improvements added for fist time users. Using clist_nicer+ with a fresh profile
- now gives much better results. Frames are created properly, button bar is configured
- to only show the most important buttons and more.
-
- ! fixed the long standing bug which sometimes made a scrollbar appear on the title
- bar of the contact list frame.
-
- + improved and fixed fading - now fades the entire clist frame, including all subframes
- smoothly, also works together with transparent contact lists of all sorts.
-
- + added RTL support - UNICODE version ONLY (sorry, won't make it into the non-unicode
- build).
-
- This works automatically. When the contact list detects a nickname with hebrew or
- arabic characters, it displays the nickname RTL formatted. Same happens for status
- messages. On the "Advanced Options" page, you can set an option named "Reverse entire
- contact display for RTL" - what it does is basically simple. For RTL contacts, the
- entire layout of that contact will be flipped horizontally, that is, the icon appears
- on the right side, the nickname is printed RTL and so on. It just "mirrors" the
- contact display by using a mirrored device context.
-
- When editing a RTL nickname, you get a RTL aligned text edit box aswell.
-
- RTL also works for group names (again, automatically, no need for configuring anything).
-
- + the GDI+ renderer now produces better text output by using antialising and gamma
- correction for much smoother text. However, this CAN BE SLOW and if you have a full
- featured contact list, including avatars, extra icons, you may experience noticeable
- performance drops when using the GDI+ option. The text output DOES look better, though.
- You should only use it on fast systems.
-
- + added new toolbar buttons:
- ) 3 view mode buttons (select, configure, clear)
- ) button to open miranda main menu
-
- To configure visible buttons right click the button bar and select the buttons you wish
- to see from the submenu.
-
-0.5.1.13 - 2005/10/15
-
- * view modes which have been set to auto-expire won't expire as long as the mouse
- pointer is over the contact list
-
- * added a debuggin message when the "Hidden" value of a contact is set to 1 (causing
- the contact to be hidden on the clist). This is temporary and only to find out why
- somtimes contacts are set to hidden.
-
-0.5.1.12 - 2005/10/15
-
- ! fixed internal font dialog.
-
- ! fixed deleting last view mode from list creating "strange" view mode name.
-
- * contacts local time is now only shown when it actually differs from your own time-
- zone to keep the clist "cleaner" (there is an option for this, so you can still have
- local time display for all contacts with a valid time zone).
-
- * fixed: adding/removing subcontacts should now update the clist properly (still, make
- sure you have the latest MetaContacts plugin installed as clist_nicer+ relies on
- some of the newer features).
-
- ! fixed: last protocol did not appear in the skin configuration.
-
- ! fixed: hide per group wasn't working
-
- ! don't clip icon on the status button - only status text is clipped (when needed)
-
- ! fixed: redrawing issues when "Pin to desktop" is active.
-
- ! more redrawing issues with fading active etc..
-
- ! fixed a few bugs with the menu bar
-
- ! fixed file dropping on contact list main window.
-
- * changed: View mode configuration.
-
- * Empty protocol or group selection boxes are now ignored.
- * Stickies can use their own status modes (per contact). To configure stickies,
- select the global status mode for sticky contacts using the status icons in
- the "*** All Contacts ***" row. You can then change each status mode for
- individual contacts. Remember that only checked contacts will be examined
- by the sticky filter, unchecked contacts will follow the global ruleset.
-
- * moved ICQ custom status menu from the main menu to the status menu (patch by
- nullbie - only works with recent ICQJ versions (alpha releases)).
-
- ! when multiple tray icons are visible and you have hidden one or more protocols
- (MetaContacts for example), flashing has been corrected (no icon will flash if
- the protocol causing the event has been hidden in the contact lists protocol order
- configuration).
-
- + show xstatus icons on the status bar (optional, can be enabled/disabled on
- Options->Contact List->Status bar
-
-0.5.1.11 - 2005/10/04 - beta and unicode build only.
-
- ! status message wasn't properly clipped when visibility icon active.
-
- * multiple tray icons now follow the protocol configuration (protocols which are
- invisible in the status bar are now also invisible on the tray).
-
- * connecting icon(s) are now visible on the status button and in the tray.
-
- ! the row gap does no longer affect the minimum row height (the latter is enforced,
- even with a row gap in effect)
-
- ! improved meta support. clist_nicer+ does no longer use the "Meta Contacts hidden
- group hack", instead it detects subcontacts in another way. This needs a recent
- version of the MC protocol (0.9.13.4 MINIMUM) and improves the behaviour with
- server side contact lists, where the "hidden group hack" could cause strange
- effects.
-
- + added mTooltips over statusbar panels showing protocol name + statusmode. Requires
- a mToolTip plugin with service API (0.0.1.5 or later). Also, the tray tooltip has
- been replaced with a mTooltip (if mTooltip with service api is present). This removes
- the limitation of 127 characters for the tray tooltip which might be a problem when
- lots of protocols are installed.
-
- * NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS:
-
- * MS_CLIST_GETCONTACTDISPLAYNAME supports the GCDNF_UNICODE flag in lParam to get
- the contact name as wide string (compatible with clist_classic).
-
- * MS_CLIST_SYSTRAY_NOTIFY supports a NIIF_INTERN_UNICODE flag in MIRANDASYSTRAYNOTIFY.dwInfoFlags.
- If set, the service will treat all strings in the MIRANDASYSTRAYNOTIFY structure
- as wide strings (you'll probably have to cast the pointers to avoid compiler
- warnings).
-
- + added extra font setting for the event area.
-
- + Importing and exporting themes (.clist files) now also import or export all font settings,
- background configuration and the contact list window config.
-
- + custom hittesting now allows to resize the clist window even when it does not have a visible
- resizing border (e.g. when the border has been removed by TweakUI or the "Clip border"
- option.
-
- + option to disable the tray icon tooltips when hovering the contact list tray icon(s)
- (Options->Contact List)
-
- + added a first (and simple) versions of the "view modes" extension. A view mode is a
- contact filter, currently based on protocol, group and status mode and allows for quick
- filtering in the contact list. A new multiwindow frame has been added with a few buttons
- to select and configure available view modes.
-
- + added option to scale the extra icons (Options->Contact List->Window->Extra icon size)
- At the default value of 16 pixels (which is the default icon size), the icons won't be scaled.
- You can scale them down to 8 and up to 20 pixels if you want (of course, at a loss of
- quality - scaling small images like 16x16 icons won't give very beautiful results).
- NOTE: status icons are not affected by icon scaling, only the "extra" (right aligned)
- icons are (to save some space on the clist...)
-
- + ability to show contacts local time on the contact list. The following requirements must
- be fulfilled:
-
- * a timezone needs to be present (either set by the protocol (ICQ only) or set as user
- info using UserInfoEx or tabSRMMs per contact preferences dialog.
- * contact list must be in dual row mode (either forced or by using avatars large enough
- to make enough space for 2 lines of text).
- * the option to show local time needs to be enabled (Options->Contact List->Advanced options,
- where you set the dual row display options).
-
- NOTE: local timestamps are refreshed once per minute (which is enough and the time stamp
- is formatted according to your regional language settings.
-
- a new font setting (Contact list local time) has been added to the font configuration
- options.
-
- + added option: Contact List->Don't separate offline contacts (at the sorting options).
- When enabled, offline contacts will be sorted together with contacts of other status mode(s).
- This setting makes only real sense when using sort by protocol or by name.
- Make sure to disable the "dividers" on the Options->Contact List->List page, or else
- you'll get dividers when there shouldn't be any.
-
- ! fixed: the option "If window is partially covered, bring it to front instead of hiding it"
- now works when window clipping (clip border and rounded window options) are enabled.
-
-0.5.1.10 - 2005/09/29 - beta and unicode build only.
-
- + new option: center status icons (Advanced option page, at the top).
- Effect: status icons are vertically and horizontally centered within their
- space. That works only when avatars are emabled. Use the "Always align icons and
- text for missing avatars" option to get a consistent space for both avatars and
- icons. This option also centers avatars horizontally within the available space
- (that is, if the avatars width is less than its height).
-
- * restored old behaviour of the "Always align icon and text for missing avatars"
- option. It now again allows an "empty" avatar space.
-
- ! fixed bug with subgroup indent
-
- ! fixed - main menu didn't always update when using menu bar.
-
- + ability to skin the status bar with a clist_nicer item. Eanble skinning on the status
- bar option page and set up the skin item on the Background+ page.
-
- + ability to skin the toolbar background (skin item on the Background+ page). To
- enable/disable a skinned toolbar, right click any toolbar button and select "skinned
- toolbar".
-
- + added "per protocol" skin items. Enable it on the Background+ page and set the skin
- items for each protocol.
-
- Protocol skin items have priority over status skin items, however, the text color is, by
- default taken from the status skin item. So you can have per-protocol background
- skins mixed with per-status text colors. If you don't want to mix, then check "Override
- per status text colors, so that items with a valid "per protocol" skin will not use the
- per status text color.
-
- For metacontacts: Unless the "Ignore all subcontact states" option is checked,
- metacontacts will be skinned according to their "real" protocol. Otherwise, you can define
- a protocol skin for the MetaContacts protocol.
-
- ! "sort by proto" now uses the protocol order defined under Options->protocols. It also
- properly sorts metacontacts according to their active subcontact (unless, the "Ignore all
- subcontact states" option is checked.
-
- + added the ability to show the "connecting" status for each protocol using a special icon
- for the status bar panel of that protocol. The icon is visible while the connection is
- "in progress".
- If you are using IcoLib, you can configure one connecting icon for each installed protocol,
- otherwise it is global and cannot be changed (unless, you edit the DLL).
-
- ! fixed all option pages so that the "Apply" button isn't enabled when the dialog opens.
-
- + support for the GCDNF_UNICODE flag added to the MS_CLIST_GETCONTACTDISPLAYNAME service.
- If this flag is set in the lParam, the service returns a widestring contact name.
- (Unicode build only).
-
- * the setting to configure the minimum row height has been moved away from the font
- configuration page and is now on the "List" page, because clist_nicer hides the font
- configuration page when the font service plugin is available.
-
-0.5.1.9 - 2005/09/22
-
- * Non-Unicode build should now again work with Miranda 0.4.0.1.
-
- * status bar doesn't look weird when "Make sections equal width" is unchecked
-
- * many internal code robustness updates
-
- + merged one critical unicode / group related bugfix from clist_classic
-
- * When sorting contacts by protocol, metacontacts are sorted by their current
- "real" protocol (the protocol which determines the most online contact).
- Note: Uncheck "Ignore all subcontact states" on the advanced option page to
- make this work. If the setting is checked, the contact list will ignore all
- subcontact state values and only use the master contact information.
- NOTE: this feature is incomplete, it does not react to protocol changes (yet).
-
- + new, experimental, autosizing optimization. Much less repainting and flickering
- when a large number of contacts go online/offline (e.g. while conncting a
- protocol).
-
- * changed the way selective status icons work a bit. The setting does no longer
- depend on "Show status icons" being off, and the "Always align..." option being
- on. Note that selective status icons only work with the avatar alignment set to
- "Far left".
-
-0.5.1.8 - 2005/09/20
-
- * Critical bug (hangup when status bar disabled) solved.
-
-0.5.1.7 - 2005/09/20
-
- ! items in protocol ordering dialog were not dragable (unicode build).
-
- ! The option "Automatically fill background with wallpaper" was crashing the plugin
- in the unicode build.
-
-0.5.1.6 - 2005/09/19 - released as UNICODE only build (for testing).
-
- + added status bar protocol sorting
-
- + added new option on the Background+ page: Apply group indent to background drawing.
- When enabled, the indentation values for grouped contacts will also affect the background
- of the items, not only the contents.
-
- + BIG unicode changes. All clist_classic changes to allow Unicode contact and group names
- have been merged. This should, however, be considered experimental alpha code. There
- are probably bugs and it may crash. BACKUP your db before using the unicode build (that's
- generally a good idea when testing bleeding edge builds, including the nightly builds
- of the unicode core).
-
- + ability to show the ICQ extended status menu on the status menu. Patch by Nullbie - this
- feature requires a slightly modified ICQJ. Maybe, this code will make it into the
- official ICQJ version.
-
- ! fix: Move to Group->Root Group actually made the contact invisible, because it set the
- Group to an empty string (wrong, the Group entry needs to be deleted in the db).
-
-0.5.1.5 - 2005/09/15
-
- + added TweakUI - like full transparency. Setting is on the Window page (same place
- where you can set normal transparency). This setting can be mixed with active/
- inactive transparency values, which will then control the transparency of the
- remaining parts of the window (fonts etc..).
-
- + added: double clicking the avatar opens the user info dialog.
- Enable it on Options->Contact List->List.
-
- * somewhat smoother and less "jumpy" resizing (new bugs/small visual glitches possible,
- especially with autosizing enabled).
- This includes "fast resizing" for manual resize operations (dragging the window border).
- Certain "expensive" paint operations are skipped to speed up resizing. A full window
- repaint is executed at the end of a resizing cycle.
-
- * fix: minor visual glitch with sunken frame and bottom buttons enabled.
-
- + added pflagnum_5 support to the status menu builder...
-
- ! fixed: status bar default setting was ignored for fresh profiles
-
-0.5.1.4 - 2005/09/13
-
- + added "move to group" contact menu entry
-
- + client icon update from clist_mw. Should be all there now.
-
- + "Automatically fill background with wallpaper" now also works with the new setting
- on the background page (use background for entire window).
-
- * The "Plus" page has been renamed to "Advanced options". Reason: "Plus" conflicts with
- a similar page of the popup plugin, and with some language packs the resulting trans-
- lation can be confusing - for example, in german language pack, plus is translated to
- "smilies and skins" (for the popup+ plugin) which doesn't really match the purpose
- of clist_nicer's former "Plus" page. "Advanaced options" is neutral and not confusing
- at all.
-
- + added the 2 new font settings for status messages and frame titles to the font service
- configuration. Consequently, when the font service plugin is installed and detected,
- clist_nicer+ disables its internal font configuration dialog. Also, the internal font
- configuration dialog has been moved to the "Customize" section.
-
- + added the genmenu group menu stuff (group, subgroup etc.)
-
-0.5.1.3 - 2005/09/13
-
- ! fix for status detection not working in some cases (too much optimizations done)
-
-0.5.1.2 - 2005/09/13
-
- ! row gap value wasn't loaded at startup.
-
- ! fixed problem with ICQ xstatus modes & messages
-
- * strip cr/lf sequences from status messages to avoid unreadable chars.
-
- * reorganized client icons and id strings
-
- * fixed dimmed avatar for idle contacts when using GDI+
-
- + new setting on the "Advanced Options" page.
- "Don't request avatars for offline contacts". This option will, when enabled, prevent
- the contact list from requesting avatars using the avatar service when a contact is
- offline.
- The option is useful if your contact list is very large and the initial request for
- all avatars may cause a delay or if you have set your clist to display all contacts
- (including offline). Avatars will then be requested when a contact comes online. This
- option might also save quite some memory on large contact lists, because most of the
- time only a fraction of your contacts will be actually online.
-
- ! fixed hit-test (double click on extra icons...)
-
- * changed database paths for menu item configuration. Unfortunately, you may have to
- redo your menus :/ Reason: collisions when switching clists (mw, modern, nicer) may
- cause troubles with the menu system. clist_mw and _modern are already using different
- database paths, so clist_nicer also has to do so.
-
- + added a skin item for the event area. Also, the button is now gone and the entire
- event area is now clickable. The button just didn't look well with a skinned event
- area.
-
- ! fixed "not on list" font color was ignored.
-
- + added icon to show activity in irc channels, based on the visiblity setting. You need to
- have "Show visibility icons" enabled in order to show it.
- Icon is configureable via IcoLib, as always.
-
- * the detection for the "most online" protocol now ignores protocols which are not fully IM
- capable (like RSSNews) and don't support away status mode(s). This prevents the status
- button from showing always "Online", when a protocol cannot go into away mode (like RSS).
-
-0.5.1.1 - 2005/09/09
-
- ! fixed a few mw bugs (frame gap, some redraw issues). Additional pointer checks in AddFrame()
-
- ! fixed possible on exit crash (using deleted critical section)
-
- + added clist_nicer+ skin item for the frame title bar background.
-
- * some optimizations to resizing (clui frame mainly).
-
- + added extra icons (mail, sms, homepage + one reserved). Options
- are in Contact List->Window. The icons are clickable and open your default browser
- or email client respectively (double click needed).
-
- + frame title bar can now be fully skinned. A new font setting has been added to set
- the font + color for frame titles.
-
- + new setting: Clip border by (Window page). Will clip the main window border by
- x pixels on each side which can effectively be used to completely get rid of the
- contact lists border. This can work in combination with the "rounded window" setting
- on the same page. Note: may not fully work when autosizing is enabled.
-
- + new setting: Row gap (List page). Insert x pixels of gap after each contact on the
- list. The gap is transparent, so the background image (or color) will be visible here.
- This is somewhat different from the Background+ item configuration where a margin can
- be set for each side of a contact list item. The row gap is considered when calculating
- row heights, the individual item margins are not.
-
- * removed clist_nicers own copy of ICQ xstatus icons. These icons are now obtained by
- using the extraimages api (like clist_mw does). The ICQ protocol sends these icons
- on request.
-
- * the options to show extra and client icons were moved to the "Window" page, where you
- can also configure the other extra icons (email, homepage, URL etc..).
- In order to see mBirthday icons, you need to activate the "Reserved" and "Reserved2"
- entries.
-
- * the event area is now a frame of its own and can be moved anywhere you want it. Autohide
- feature does still work.
-
-0.5.0.7 - 2005/08/30 - not officially released, for testing purpose only
-
- * GDI+ rendering added. Requires gdi+ installed - it is on all XP and most Win2K systems,
- others can get it here:
-
- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6a63ab9c-df12-4d41-933c-be590feaa05a&DisplayLang=en
-
- Using GDI+ for rendering the avatars gives better quality, especially for fully alpha-
- blended PNG images, but even normal bitmaps look better because of the higher quality
- image rescaling in gdi+.
-
- + the toolbar button for toggling sounds has now 2 icons showing the actual state of the
- sounds setting.
-
- + updated toolbar icons with the latest ttb icon set by Angeli-Ka
-
- * show xstatus (if set) on the status button (patch submitted by nullbie)
-
- + more GDI+ rendering - background items are now also rendered with GDI+ using antialiasing,
- so rounded contact list items should look better now. GDI+ is optional and needs to be
- enabled on the "Plus" page in the options tree. It cannot be enabled, if it isn't installed
- though. GDI+ is used with "delayed" linkage, so it shouldn't give you an error if the
- gdiplus.dll is not installed on your system.
-
- ! small bug with "far right" aligned avatars corrected (text overdrawing the avatars).
-
- + added customizable menus (main menu, status menu and contact menu only) - code from clist_mw,
- slightly changed because some _mw features are not in clist_nicer.
-
- + added multiwindow API, so all multiwindow plugins should work now, including top toolbar
- of course.
-
- * client icons are loaded "on demand" to save gdi resources
-
-0.5.0.6 - 2005/08/27
-
- + option to disable the expand/collapse icons for groups (Options->Contact List->List)
- If enabled, you'll have to double click the group label in order to expand/collapse
- a group.
-
- + added more client icons - thanks to Angeli-Ka for the icon set.
-
- + some performance optimizations (about +5k code size)
-
- * changed the status icon on the bottom status selection button. If you don't have set
- a preferred system tray icon on Options->contact list, the button will now show your
- "most online" status, using the global status icon.
-
- * visual corrections for multiline-status messages. only full rows of text are visible.
-
- ! fixed and added a few border styles for contact list items (Background+ page)
-
-0.5.0.5 - 2005/08/25
-
- + added rounded window frame
-
- + added support for database-cached Yahoo and GG status messages. Also, ICQ
- extended status messages can be shown on the contact list, since they are
- also saved to the database.
-
- - removed the "unknown" avatar feature. Since the avatar service now supports
- per protocol default images, it's rather pointless to have a fallback
- image in the clist itself.
-
- * reduced database reads and writes a lot (caching some configuration data).
-
- * slightly changed the way the clist determines if a second line of text is
- needed. There are now 4 modes availble, selectable via a combo
- box and they are considered in the following order:
-
- * Never - the 2nd line will never be visible, no matter how much space is
- available. If an avatar requires a larger row size, the nickname will be
- centered and the remaining space will be left empty.
-
- * Always - each contact will have a second row of text.
-
- * If space allows - The second row will be visible when the row height is already
- large enough (e.g. due to the avatar using a considerable amount of vertical
- space).
-
- * If needed - The second row will be visible if there is useful information to
- display, that is, the contact has set a status message or extended status mode
- (for ICQ contacts). The normal protocol status is not considered here.
-
- + some tweaks to avatar drawing - better clipping with rounded avatars, region based
- borders.
-
- + another memory overflow found and fixed in the DrawAlpha() function
-
-0.5.0.4 - 2005/08/25
-
- + bugfix for startup crash
-
-0.5.0.3 - 2005/08/22
-
- ! bugfix: when starting hidden/minimized, some buttons did not show up after
- restoring the clist until it was resized.
-
- * delete group warning dialog now shows the name of the group which is about to
- be deleted in the title bar (useful, if the delete group service was called by
- another plugin, and you therefore cannot know which group is affected).
-
- * embedded contact lists can now display avatars and use dual row mode.
-
- ! fixed quicksearch problems with avatars and dual row display.
-
- ! Background+ page was not translateable (inherited bug from original clist_nicer).
-
- + added option ("Plus page") to show the status msg instead of the status mode. Note
- that this only shows cached "CList" status messages and does NOT retrieve them
- actively. Also, you need to enable "Allow two rows of text" to show them.
-
- The order of tings shown in the 2nd line is (depending on availability):
- 1) Clist status message (if enabled on the option page)
- 2) Custom status mode name (ICQ only)
- 3) protocol status mode name (online, offline, away and so on...)
-
- ! fixed incorrect display of some contacts.
-
- + added "overlay" status icons which can be superimposed over avatars. Customization
- possible via IcoLib plugin. Enable them on the "Plus" option page.
- Thanks to Faith Healer for permission to use the icons.
-
- + added "selective status icon" support. This is a bit tricky. Basically, it fills
- the empty space for missing avatars with the protocol status icon. Selective status
- icons require the following:
-
- * option enabled (plus page)
- * Status icons switched off (plus page)
- * Avatars enabled
- * "Always align icons and text for missing avatars" enabled
-
- If these settings are in effect, then the empty space showing up if a contact has
- no avatar is filled with the protocol status icon.
-
- + added variable row heights. Thanks to pescuma for a really nice and clean
- implementation of this feature with minimal impact on the contact list core code.
- As a result, the avatar height is now a separate value and does no longer depend
- on the row height (set it on the "Plus" page - default are 28 pixels in height).
-
- + added support for the updater plugin by sje. Future versions of clist_nicer+ may
- be available by automatic updates ONLY ("major" releases will still be available
- in the file listing).
-
-0.5.0.2 - 2005/08/06
-
- * changed API of loadavatars. You need to update both .DLLs not only the
- clist_nicer_plus.dll. If you don't, it will crash.
-
- * better quality for "rounded" avatars.
-
- + option to always align nicknames and/or icons, even if there is NO avatar for
- a contact (just leave an empty space then).
-
- * if an extended status mode (ICQ) is set, it will be shown in the second line,
- instead of the normal protocol status.
-
- ! center group names now also works with the contact count numbers enabled. Also,
- draw lines along group names works with centered group names.
-
- + avatar alignment now supports 3 modes:
- * far left (avatar at the left edge of the contact list)
- * far right (avatar at the right edge)
- * with nickname (avatar just in front of the nickname, but right of the status
- icon).
-
- + some fixes to hottracking (works for ignored items). The option "ignore selection
- for group names" is now working.
-
-0.5.0.1 - 2005/08/05
-
- * hottrack item config moved to the item list. It can now be configured like any
- other item, except that it inherits the following stats from the underlying
- item.
-
- * corners
- * gradient TYPE (colors can be set)
- * margins
-
- colors and transparency value can be set for the hottracking item, but shape
- (corners), margins and gradient type cannot, because they need to be inherited
- from the item which is currently "hottracked".
-
- ! another bugfix with window layout when autosizing is enabled
-
- * changed sorting method. It now uses sorting based on current locale
- settings, which means it peroperly handles language specific characters like
- german umlauts. That also fixes wrong sortings with cyrillic nicknames.
-
- + avatars added. Yes, I don't like avatars on the contact list, but since it is
- requested so often... really, I need someone who can explain me why avatars are
- SO important in instant messaging... :)
-
- The options are, as always, in the context
- menu of the contact list. Avatars can be switched off, they can be ordered to left
- align (normally, they are just left of the nickname, but after the status icon)
- and they can have a border.
-
- Avatars follow the row height, so in order to get a reasonable avatar size, you
- should increase the row height (a value of 28 or more pixels already gives decent
- quality). They are also drawn with the alpha value of the background item, so they
- can be partially transparent.
-
- Avatars require the plugin LOADAVATARS.DLL, which is a separate plugin and works
- as some kind of avatar service in the background.
-
- + dual row mode added. When the row height allows for more than a single line of text
- (given the current fonts), a second line is added showing the status mode. Also, some
- icon position are changed in dual row mode and the visibility icon is moved to the
- 2nd row so it won't take space from the nickname.
-
- + some options to tweak the layout added. It is now possible to make the status icons
- optional, for example.
-
- + status icons are now optional (enable them via the context menu or use the new "Plus"
- option page.
-
- + new option page added (Contact List->Plus). Contains all the new settings for tweaking
- the layout and other stuff.
-
-0.4.0.4 - 2005/07/13
-
- * better client icon update
-
- ! evemt area only groups message events
-
- + timer based clist sorting added. This saves A LOT of sorting, especially while
- connecting multiple protocols and filling the contact list. It can reduce the
- number of sorting runs by a factor of 10. The disadvantage are very small delays
- in the range of 100 - 150 milliseconds. In most cases, you won't notice it.
-
- The timer based sorting can be disabled by creating a DWORD value in the CLC
- module. Name it "SortTimer" and set its value to 0.
- Alternatively, you can set the timer value in milliseconds, using the same db
- setting. Default is 150 ms and you can set it to any value between 50 and 500.
- Smaller and larger values will be ignored as they don't make sense.
-
- NOTE: restart required after changing the db setting.
-
- + added right margin indent value. Affects text, right-aligned icons only, but not
- the background (they already have individual margins for each item type).
- Options->Contact List->List. Basically, it prevents the client or extended status
- icon(s) to "touch" the right window border (which may look ugly).
-
- + added "full row selection". Simple, you don't HAVE to click on the contacts text
- any longer in order to select it. This conflicts with the "easy move" feature,
- unless you have some free space in your contact list. To disable full row select
- hold the SHIFT key while using the mouse, so you can still "easy drag" the contact
- list window around.
-
- You can enable/disable full row select under Options->Contact List->List
- Note: full row selection also impacts hottracking of items.
-
- + added hottracking with changing background color. Two new color fields are on
- the Background+ page which allow you to set the (background) colors for hottracked
- items. If a gradient has been set for an item type, hottracking uses both colors
- to build the new gradient, otherwise, only the first color is active.
-
- ! fixed a few redrawing/layout problems with the new window elements.
-
- ! fixed autosize-related focus stealing (ugly)
-
- + added a new skin item "First group on list" - allows to draw the first group header
- with a different skin.
-
-0.4.0.3 - 2005/07/13
-
- ! don't draw additional icons in "embedded" mode (e.g. if the clist control
- is being used in a dialog box like typing notify options.
-
- ! only show the toolbar config menu when right clicking over the toolbar.
-
- ! some visual glitches fixed when autosizing is on.
-
-0.4.0.2 - 2005/07/09
-
- ! fixed bug with fade in/out contact list
-
- ! fixed "sorting by name" bug (inherited from clist_classic, rather old bug)
-
- ! fixed metacontacts not disappearing from group when going offline
-
- - removed "simple" font configuration dialog.
-
- + added a context menu to allow configuration of some aspects of the button bar.
- You can increase/decrease the size of the buttons, can set them as flat or 3d,
- and you can disable visual styles for the buttons (may look better with some
- visual styles as they have problems to draw very small buttons).
- Also, you can now decide which buttons you want to see on the button bar,
- and which buttons you don't (that may be an opportunity to add some more
- buttons in the future).
-
- + added option to the contact list context menu -> use meta protocol icons. If
- enabled, icons for the meta protocol will be shown for metacontacts (instead of
- the actual protocol icons).
-
- ! some visual glitches fixed (especially, when TweakUI is enabled).
-
- ! another old bug fixed. Groups are now using the colors from the "Background+"
- page.
-
- + added the "Event Area". This is a small area at the bottom of the contact list
- which will show you the most recent contact list event (received message, file
- and so on...). If more than one event is waiting, a list of unhandled event is
- opened when you click the button in that area.
- This feature is, of course, optional. Right click the contact list and you'll find
- the options in the context menu. You can disable the event area or set it to auto-
- hide so it will only be visible when needed.
-
- + feature added: "Move events on top" - contacts with unread or
- "unhandled" events (simply, all flashing contacts) will stick on top of their group
- (or the entire contact list, if no groups are in use).
-
- This is optinonal, and can be configured at the "Contact List" main page (where you
- set other sorting options.
-
-0.4.0.1 - 2005/07/08 - first public release
