+
+Version history:
+
+0.1.2.2 beta
+[-] Crash fix by George Hazan
+
+0.1.2.1 beta
+[-] Fixed: wrong absolute path was used for preview
+[-] Fixed: preview function completely stops working when closing splash by right click (thx m0003r)
+[-] Enabled and fixed tab navigation in options
+[*] Updated langpack
+
+0.1.2.0 beta
+[!] Switched to advaimg.dll for processing pngs, png2dib is not used anymore
+[+] Plugin API changes: added uuid (C64CC8E0-CF03-474A-8B11-8BD4565CC) and MIID_SPLASHSCREEN interface (91CB1E8D-C33C-43C0-BDD8-6725B070B3E0)
+[+] Added an option to show Miranda version on splash (more options to be implemented)
+[+] Added environment variables support (%PROFILEPATH%, %APPDATA%, etc.)
+[+] Added Ini param to point to config file (aware of environment variables support, thus makes possible to use different ini-es for different profiles)
+[*] Removed mp3 support (was too buggy, will reimplement eventually)

+
+0.1.1.7 beta

+[*] Redesigned options page a bit
+[*] Langpack changes
+[*] Alot of other changes, reorganizations and fixes
+
+0.1.1.6 beta

+[-] Fixed: sometimes splash wasn't autoclosed with TimeToShow = 0
+[*] Display time option can accept values up to 20000 mseconds
+[*] Dinamically linked build is removed from archive to avoid cluttering of miranda root folder when using Updater.
+[*] Code cleanup
+
+0.1.1.5 beta
+[+] Updater support for betas (don't forget to enable "Use beta?" option in Updater settings)
