+ You have to manually disable popup of messages in SKYPE, as there is
+ currently no function in the API to do this
+ Got to File/Options/Instant messages and disable the checkboxes there
+
+
+CODE
+----
+ Currently a real mess. At least I splitted it up a bit now.
+ But hey, it kinda works... ;)

+0.0.0.18 - * HOTFIX - Double File-Transfer icon removed. Please note that you can't send files
+ via drag & drop, because of the nature of Skype API - Skype wants to open its own
+ "File/Open" dialog, so I cannot supply a path to the file to be sent, therefore I
+ had to add a seperate File-sending function rather than using Miranda's function.
+
+0.0.0.17 - * Startup of Skype in a seperate thread was not solved properly. Now it should really
+ start in background
+ * The hack for the statusmode-bug is optional in the settings and is turned off
+ per default. (Thx to Eddie Hung for reporting problems and help)
+ * Added an ugly hack for the Skype-API offline bug (grr.. )
+ * Nickname is now set correctly. To cleanup the existing Nicks, please go to
+ the options page an push the "Cleanup Nicknames" button.
+ This will clean out entries where the Nick was set to the Skype handle
+ * Fixed a bug in the message sending routine that caused errors in communication
+ (missed messages in Skype that were not fetched..)
+ * Added "Hold call" feature while calling
+ * Added support for conference calls (if a second user is calling while you
+ are in a conversation, you can now choose whether to block the call or let
+ the user join you in a conference with the existing caller or to put the
+ other caller on hold)
+ * Fixed a bug in the code for adding users that were just searched via the
+ Skype search-window but never have been in contact list.
+ * Fixed some bugs (memleak, nick error, ..) in the Search-Routine for
+ Skype-contacts. (thx to Deadman for reporting)
+ * Fixed a bug with unknown SKYPE_IN contacts
+ * Added file-sending capability (requires new Skype-version)
+ * Did a litte code-cleanup
+ * Adding / Removing contacts can now be done via the Miranda standard-dialogs if
+ you use the newest Skype-Version
+ * With the new Skype-version you are able to handle Authorisation-Requests via Miranda
+ now.
+
+0.0.0.16 - * Fixed a severe memory-allocation bug in utf8-encoded messages that caused random
+ crashes (oops :-O) - Thanks to Ary Dvoretz for reporting.
+ * Bug in SkypeStatusMode-Bug fix from last release fixed (protocol stayed offline)
+ * Now onlinestatus for SkypeOut-Contacts is configurable
+ * Made Menu-Options translatable
+ * Added support for calling SkypeOut-Phonenumbers. You can now dial a PSTN-Number
+ by calling "Do a SkypeOut call" in the main menu (or top toolbar if the
+ toptoolbar plugin is installed) and entering a number or
+ by right-clicking on a non-Skype contact and selecting "Call using SkypeOut",
+ if there is a phone-Number entry in the User's-Details.
+ This, of course, is only working if you have SkypeOut privilege
+
+0.0.0.15 - * Fixed a crash on Miranda-exit when error occured on Skype-Protocol start
+ * Fixed Bug #0000006: Now user is asked if he wants to enable the Protocol
+ for the current profile, if he starts with a new profile.
+ * Fixed Bug #0000002: Now interfacing with Skype is really stopped on going
+ offline if the option is enabled. (PingPong-thread killed)
+ - This also applies on closing Skype
+ * Fixed a memory leak in MsgFetchThread that appeared in the last version because
+ of the groupchat-implementation (free() within wrong if clause, ooops ;)
+ * Fixed Bug #0000005: When there is a msg from a user that is not on Skype's contact
+ list, the user is now added PALF_TEMPORARY and disappears again on next Miranda-start
+ * Implemented a fix for Skype API's statusmode bug reported by Markus Mützel:
+ If you change the online status while Skype is still connecting, Skype changes to
+ the FIRST state that it was requested to change to, after going online, instead of
+ the LAST state. However the bug was not reproducable for me.
+ * Fixed broken popup-support (I hope)
+ * CHANGE of behaviour (inspired by Bug #0000007):
+ If you turn off "Start Skype with Miranda", the plugin wouldn't search for a
+ running Skype instance anymore.
+ * Now when going online and Skype is not launched, Skype will be launched via a
+ seperate thread (in background) so that Miranda isn't blocked while Skype is loading
+ * Options Dlg. should now be translateable too.
+
+0.0.0.14 -
+ * Miranda crash on exit if Skype was not found installed should be
+ fixed by now.
+ * Implemented compatibility layer for Skype API Protocol V3 and above.
+ * Removed some useless code introduced in 0.0.0.12
+ * Added some fixes made by TioDuke (thank you!)
+ - Using your own Nick instead of your Skype-Handle in conversations
+ - LastName 3rd token & above are not ignored any more
+ - Status modes "On the phone" and "out to lunch" are mapped now
+ * Fixed a bug that caused "Skype API not available" messages under high load.
+ (thanks to Romeo28 for testing!)
+ * Fixed a bug that caused Message sending thread to wait forever if sending
+ a message times out (causing dead threads)
+ * Skype contact list should be synced now when Skype-Status changes.
+ (thx to Markus Mützel for Bugreport)
+ * Implemented a garbage collector that removes old messages from queue
+ in order to prevent possible memory exhaustion
+ * Added option to disable all modal Error-message dialog boxes (as people
+ keep telling me that they are annoyed by them)
+ * Added langpack support for error messages
+ * Added option to increase the time the protocol is waiting for Skype
+ * Added groupchat functions. WARNING: For testing purposes only!
+ Currently there is a memleak which I cannot find, but even worse,
+ Skype API doesn't seem to support sending to a groupchat, inviting etc.
+ So this is currently only experimental! When you send to a groupchat you
+ currently send single messages to every user seperately. Skype staff
+ didn't answer my question about sending to groupchats so far, so it
+ depends on them when this feature will be available for real use.
+
+0.0.0.13 - A few minor fixes:
+ * Logging off users shouldn't flood the StatusNotify-Plugin now.
+ * Popup-plugin can be enabled/disabled in the options dlg.
+ * Implemented support for SkypeOut contacts (they caused crashes)
+ * Now using Nick instead of Skype-Handle as Contact list name on
+ adding new users, if it is available.
+
+0.0.0.12 - Bugfixing because of strange Skype API behaviour:
+ * Adding of contacts that are just searched, but not added in Skype
+ should be prevented now.
+ * Version number correct again.
+
+0.0.0.11 - Only minor bugfixes:
+ * The gender in user-details is now saved correctly to the DB
+ (thanks to LeON for the hint!)
+ * The Apply-Button should now be disabled in the options DLG by default
+ (thanks to sje for the bug report)
+ * Contactlist should be reinitialized after a SYNC-Problem now.
+ * Bug with usernames that contain commas should be fixed
+ * Protocol messages are now shown as popups if Popup-plugin is installed
+
+0.0.0.10 - * Hopefully recovery after sync problem works a bit better now
+ (Sync-Problem Messages are no longer shown)
+ * Now you can hang up a call directly from a contact's context menu
+ * Now implemented support for using Skype over a network. You can use
+ the included skypeproxy service to in/output Skype API messages
+ on a socket and can connect to it with the plugin.
+ So you can, for example, launch the skypeproxy service on your
+ Windows-server (eeek! :P) and control Skype from your workstation
+ using Miranda. (requested feature by foosmate)
+ * Now you can accept incoming calls via Miranda (or hang them up)
+ * The status mode bug (clist status menu was not updated properly)
+ should be fixed by now.
+ * The logfile in the dbeug-build should now always be written to the
+ Miranda directory.
+
+0.0.0.9 - * Fixed bug with error when starting Skype with Miranda ("Wheee...")
+ * As Skype seems to use new, UNDOCUMENTED Message types (I think it's
+ a severe Skype-API bug) I adapted the plugin so that it works
+ with new API now. This fixes the problem of not being able to receive
+ messages in new Skype versions.
+ Skype now sends "MESSAGE TYPE SAID" instead of "MESSAGE TYPE TEXT",
+ the bug has been reported to Skype forum.
+ (http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=15435)
+ * Fixed a memory leak in Message-receiving routine
+ * Added UTF8-support for Contact properties (does this fix something?)
+ * Fixed a memory leak in Startup-routine
+ * Finally renamed Plugin from SKYPE_PROTOCOL to SKYPE internally.
+ Hopefully it will upgrade your existing DB seamlessly.
+ * Now all threads should be sync with Miranda as I'm using the pthread-
+ functions "borrowed" from Yahoo protocol.
+
+0.0.0.8 - * Now there is support for the "Occupied" mode, which is mapped to DND
+ This is useful for users who do a global statusmodechange so that Skype
+ gets to "Occupied" state instead of staying online.
+ * Now the protocol doesn't disable itself when you chose to not start
+ Skype on startup, instead it stays offline and starts Skype when you
+ try to go online.
+
+0.0.0.7 - * Fixed a bug that caused a lockup on Plugin startup (when a Window was not
+ reacting to the HWND_BROADCAST) (thx to Cool Blue)
+ * Fixed a bug in the Startup-procedure..
+ * Now Skype doesn't go offline when you close Miranda (thx to Egodust)
+ * Now it should really work unter WIN98 (thx to TioDuke for testing)
+ * Implemented feature for Shutting down Skype on going offline and
+ restarting Skype on changing to online mode again, as many people requested.
+
+0.0.0.6 - * Added feature requests from kreisquadratur:
+ * Option to disable Skype-Menuitems
+ * Fixed bug with Apply-Button
+ * Using a nicer Skype-Icon now
+ * Now using Skype-Timestamp for messages
+ * Implementing importing history from skype (see contextmenu of contact)
+ * Fixed bug with processing first message of MESSAGES - List
+ * Found out, that RegisterClass() doesn't work for UNICODE-Programs on
+ non-UNICODE win98, therefore return-value check for RegisterClass removed
+ * Fixed a bug that caused a "We got a Sync problem :("
+
+0.0.0.5 - * Fixed a bug that caused the plugin to crash with bigger contact lists
+ (Skype API was flooded on startup)
+
+0.0.0.4 - * Missed messages are fetched now
+ * User details work now
+ * More verbose error msgs now (to help Win98 user debugging his problem)
+ * Added option for starting skype with miranda and shutting down
+ Skype when closing miranda.
+ * You can now chose the command line options to pass to Skype on startup
+ * Hopefully the bug with multiple Call - Entries per user is fixed now
+ * Protocol name is now "Skype", not "Skype_protocol" - Remember this
+ when updating, so DELETE skype_protocol.dll first!!
+ * Secured Message Queue with a Mutex
+ * Fixed a Message-receiving bug that could cause delays in message-processing
+ * Adding a Contact in Skype now also adds it to Miranda immediately
+ (Deleting should also work, but doesn't because of a Skype API bug)
+ * Added searching for contacts, but this feature seems to be quite useless,
+ as Skype API doesn't support adding contacts, so you still have to add
+ your contacts in the Skype program, sorry
+ In order to do this comfortably, I added a Miranda Menu-Item for adding
+ Skype-contacts.
+
+0.0.0.3 - * I hope it's thread-safe now
+ * Changing the Online-Status should work correctly now
+ * Fixed "We got a sync problem :(" bug - big thx to Azzie
+ * Now starts Skype more in the background as proposed by Kreisquadratur
+ * Implemented PING-PONG with Skype to detect if Connection to Skype API
+ was lost
+ * Launching of Skype by Miranda improved

+
+As so many people requested it, here is now a implementation of the Skype
+protocol for Miranda IM.
+Note, that this is just a wrapper for the Skype-API, which means that Skype
+has to be running while you use this plugin.
+The plugin should be able to launch Skype, if it is not running on startup.
+Please note, that I never coded a protocol-plugin for Miranda before, so
+expect it to be buggy and unstable, I hope I have some time to correct the
+severest bugs and to add more features soon.
+No warranty, whatsoever! I suggest that you back up your existing Miranda
+Database before using this plugin, just to be sure you have a backup if
+it runs amok ;-) Feel free to improve the ugly sourcecode.
+Please give me feedback, if it works for you, it would be interesting.
+
+NOTES - READ THEM CAREFULLY!
+----------------------------
+
+ * You need Skype 1.0.0.97 or above in order to have access to the Skype API
+ * You have to manually disable popup of messages in SKYPE, as there is
+ currently no function in the API to do this
+ Got to File/Options/Short messages and disable the checkboxes there
+ Otherwise you would get all Skype-Messages twice (in Skype AND Miranda)
+ * If you always get "Unknown event" when a call is incoming and you are using
+ the NewEventNotify-plugin or Tabsrmm then go to the plugin's options
+ (Sessions / Event Notifications / Announce events of type) and disable
+ "other events" there.
+ * Importing history for a contact can be launched by clickting "import History"
+ in the context menu of a contact. The importing takes place in the background.
+ AS soon, as it's finished, you will be notified by a messagebox.
+ This feature is still buggy and quite a bit unpredictable.
+ * There is a nice Iconset with the original Skype-Icons created by X-Byte
+ Thanks for that. Grab it at http://dose.0wnz.at/Skype/Skype_icons.zip
+ * Skype API bug: When you set Skype offline via API, the contacts stay online
+ I made a Miranda-sie workaround for this now, but it's a Skype-API bug,
+ not a plugin-bug
+ * Skype API bug: when you rename Skypeout-contacts in Skype, their new nicks
+ aren't sent correctly via the API, instead, the previous nick is sent and
+ therefore the Miranda-name is not up-to-date after nick change.
+ This is not a plugin bug either.
+BUGS
+----
+
+ * To track bugs, you have to make a Debug-Build out from the source.
+ The plugin then will log the Skype-API communication to a logfile
+ called skype_log.txt so that we may se what caused the crash.
