That means, you should deactivate or uninstall +existing event notifications plugins like NewEventNotify. If you want +to continue using an external event notification plugin, you can disable +tabSRMMs own system by doing the following: + +* Open Mirandas options dialog, go to Message Sessions -> Event notifications +* Check "Disable ALL event notifications..." + +This will disable tabSRMMs own event notifications, and you'll never see popups +or other types of notifications. You can then use an external plugin for +this purpose (like any version of NewEventNotify.dll) + +In any way, you should always only have one system running at any given time. +If you decide to use an external event notification plugin, then you should +disable tabSRMMs internal system and vice versa. Having both active, may cause +troubles like double popups and more. If you get double popups, then this is +a strong indication for more than one event notification system being active. + +Why use tabSRMMs own event notification system? + +Simply, because it works better :) Since it is tightly integrates into the +message dialog, it can do some things which an external plugin cannot. Also, +most external plugins are written with top-level message windows in mind and +therefore don't work very well with tabbed chat windows. + +Also, tabSRMMs event notify system is not limited to popups only. It can use +the following ways to announce incoming messages: + +1) popups (need popup.dll installed - I suggest using a recent version of + popup PLUS or YAPP - the latter being more stable and actively maintained. + +2) On Screen Display (OSD). You can either use wbOSD or the old OSD plugin + - both available on the miranda file listing. + +3) Balloon (system tray) tooltips. Only available on Windows 2000 or + later. + +Configuration of event notifications is done on the "Message Sessions > +Event Notifications" page. Most options should be familar if you have ever been +using a NewEventNotify plugin. + +The "announce method" specifies in which way you want to see the event +notifications (popups, osd or balloon tooltips). The combo box will only +contain entries which are available (the necessary plugin is installed and +detected). + + +If you have choosen that you want to see notifications, even if a message +window is already open (UNCHECK "Don't announce event when message dialog +is open"), you can further configure that on a "per container" base.

Only enable it if you have constant timeout problems for + this particular contact. + + This option is a "per contact" setting and there is no global counterpart.

Now, this uses the avatar service (minimum + version 0.0.1.11) for managing your own avatars. tabSRMM now always shows the proper + avatar you have configured for a given protocol under Main Menu -> View/Change my details. + + Setting your own avatar in the message window is possible (right click your avatar image + and choose "Set your avatar...". However, the menu entry may appear grayed which means + that the protocol does not support setting the avatar from "outside" its own option + pages. Currently, only MSN allows to set the avatar using an external service. + + + added workaround for the "Unknown Contact" problem with some protocols (fallback to + non-unicode nickname). (unicode build only). + + + added EXPERIMENTAL feature - real time message log trimming. + + What the.... ? + + This feature was inspired (or suggested) by one user on the forum. At first, + i thought that it is almost impossible to implement with the rich edit control as + our message history viewer. But I found a reasonable way to do it anyway. + + It is for people who are rarely closing their message windows. As a result, a growing + message history in the chat window(s) may consume HUGE amounts of memory, especially when + emoticons and message log icons are enabled. + + The solution? Trim the message log to a maximum number of events (e.g. 200) - older events + will disappear from the top of the message history and only the N most recent events + will remain in the chat window. As a result, memory requirements may drop significantly. + + The feature is different from the already exsting "load N number of old history events", + because it works in "real time". Whenever a new message is sent or received, the + message history will be trimmed at the top so that only old text will disappear. + + How to use? + Set the global limit for all message windows on the "Message Log" options page. A per- + contact setting is also available in the "tabSRMM settings" dialog which you can reach + from the contacts context menu. The per contact setting overrides the global value. + + NOTE: changing this setting will not affect message windows which are already open, + so you need to close and re-open them. + + One word of warning, though. This feature has a side effect. In order to "know" where to cut + off the message history, markers need to be placed in the text. The markers are hidden + number sequences (which actually correspond to database event handles), but when you copy + text from the log, the rich edit control will copy the hidden text. As far as I know, there + is no way to avoid this. + + Also, depending on your template, the top of the message log may not always look perfectly + formatted, because text is removed from the top only. + + NOTE2: won't work with IEView as IEView uses a completely different way of displaying + messages and tabSRMM has no control over the contents of the IEView message history + window. + + ! FIX: Alt-M didn't properly create the embedded multisend contact list. + + + added a color control for setting the info panel fields background color to the font + configuration dialog. Previously, this was only possible with font service. + + * improved avatar display on the info panel. Avatars will no longer waste horizontal space + if their width is smaller than their height (like most ICQ avatars). The size of the + avatar field is now properly calculated so that the avatar fits. + Also, the info panel does no longer show the "unknown" avatar for contacts which don't + have a contact picture available. + + * redesigned the info panel somewhat. The ugly check box is gone, the fields have been + re-arranged to allow more space for the nickname. + + + the option to allow active status message retrieval when hovering the info panel field + can now be found under Options->Message Window->General + + ! bugfix - message window did not react on manual nick name changes on the contact list + (changing CList/MyHAndle). + + + added a "simple" event popup configuration mode. Its on options->Message Window->Event + notifications and knows 3 modes: + * Notify always -> popups will show for each message + * Notify for unfocused sessions -> popups will show for minimized or background message + windows. + * Notify only when no window is open -> Message popups will only appear when no message + window is open for that contact. + + The simple mode skips some of the advanced popup configuration options, including the + "per container settings". It also skips the "Sync sounds" option. + + + added the per contact infopanel setting to the per contact settings dialog. + + + added option to specify the type of border for the avatar(s) in the message window. + There are 5 options: + * None + * Automatic + * Sunken + * 1 pixel solid + * rounded border + + Automatic means that it will draw a solid border for normal avatars, while for transparent + or semi-transparent images, a sunken frame will be drawn. + The color for solid borders can be configured aswell. + + The options are on the "General" tab, in the "Avatar options" section. + + * fixed bug with non-appearing message log icons + + * fixed wrong hotkey Ctrl-C was opening the user preferences dialog instead of doing the + usual copy action.

This includes the entire theme, fonts, colors, template message + log settings. + + ! bugfix (UI problem in the global/local radio button of the user preferences dialog). + + * changed multisend contact list. It is no longer created automatically for each tab + you open, instead, the contact list is only created when you activate the multisend + feature and destroyed when it is no longer needed. Saves quite *some* resources and + loading time, especially with complex contact lists (clist_nicer, clist_modern and + such). + + * updated for new smileyadd api (event for changed emoticon configuration).

It will auto- + matically detect a unicode-enabled popup.dll and use it. + + * removed the clock icon from the contacts local time display. It is replaced by clock + symbols from the Wingdings font. + + + added ability to configure several aspects of the info panel. Fonts and colors for + various fields can now be changed. Also, you can set up the background color for the + fields and their frame style. + Requires the font service plugin. + Frame style can be set on the "Tabs and layout" option page. + + ! fixed Alt-GR (right alt) problem with some hotkeys. + + + added hotkeys: it is now possible to cycle tabs using the multimedia keys: + "Browser backward" switches to the previous tabs + "Browser forward" switches to the next tab. + This should work with all properly configured multimedia keyboards and most + mice featuring extended button mapping (e.g. it works with the Logitech MX 510) + If it doesn't work for you, then your system is not configured properly. + NOTE: requires Windows 2000 or later. + + * don't send typing notifications while opening a message window with a "saved" message. + + * info panel can now retrieve and show custom extended status names and extended status + messages (very recent build of ICQJ required). If no custom status name is available, + the "built in" will be used, depending on the extended status code. + + ! ignore icon pack version info check was, well, ignored... :) + + ! fixed %E variable (did sometimes convert date/time to empty strings). + +Version 0.9.9.95 - 2005/06/28 + + * container icon and title is now set earlier so that the container does not + show "Dialog" while tabs are created. + + * fixed rtf parser to deal with some (rare) rich edit bugs. + + * changed tab layouting for single AND multiline BUTTON tabs. Both modes are + now using fixed width tabs and the layouting code will try to always "fill" + the rows. An option to set the default fixed tab width has been added + to the tab appearance configuration dialog. + + + new feature for event notifications (popups only): + + tabSRMM can now remove popups for a contact under the following situations: + + 1) container receives focus + 2) you start typing a reply + 3) you send a reply + + The feature can be configured on the Options->Event Notifications page (in the + listbox with all the checkboxes inside - at the very end of the list). + + Whenever one of these options is checked, tabSRMM will remove ALL popups for the + contact when one of the above conditions is true. Note that you can combine them, + but that doesn't make much sense. 1) (focus) always happens before any other event. + + The feature is pretty useful if you have multiple popups from a single contact on + screen. + + - removed status bar message "keyboard layout saved". No longer needed, because + the keyboard layout is now always visible as 2-digit code in the 2nd status bar + panel. + + * minor layout changes in the message window. Toolbar buttons are slightly smaller + and got a better look when using classic Windows theme (3d effect toned down a + a bit). + + * implemented a suggestion by Joe @ Whale, using IsUnicodeAscii() to check if a given + message really needs to be sent as unicode. If not, the message is sent ANSI only. + The advantage is that this may save A LOT of database / history size, because it + avoids storing every message twice (both ansi and UCS-2 parts). With the new + system, an UCS-2 part is only saved (and sent) when needed. Messages containing + 7bit characters only (0x00 - 0x7f, most latin characters) are safe to be sent as ansi. + + ! fixed bug with formatting buttons + + * removed "ding" sounds when using some hotkeys (Alt-S for example) + + * various langpack updates + + * ICON PACK: updated "unknown.bmp" (default avatar image). Thanks to Faith for the + .bmp. + + * several (internal) changes to focus handling and tab activation. Some things have been + simplified in the code, and in some areas additional safety checks were added. + May result in new focus/redraw bugs, but overall, the new system is an + improvement. It just needs to stabilize. + + * toolbar buttons are now always "flat" when using visual styles under XP. They no + longer use push button skinning. Beveled (3d) buttons are still available for + classic windows theme. + + * DISMISS EVENT is back, but with a big warning when you first activate it / and or + run miranda with that option active. Also, it is only available for "click" actions, + you cannot set dismiss event for the popup timeout action. + + * the tab control is now a full window class, and no longer only subclassed. + + + new hotkeys: + ALT-I: quick show / hide the info panel + ALT-B: toggle BiDi option (switch between RTL and LTR) + + * new option to format the title bar using variables. The format string for the title + bar is simple and may be up to 50 characters long. It can contain any text you want + and the following variables as placeholders: + + %n - Nickname + %p - protocol + %u - UIN + %s - Status mode + + You can set the default format string for all containers under Message Sessions-> + Message Window->Containers. + + You can also set a private title bar format string in the container options dialog. + Just tick "use private title format" and set the format template string. + + * possible fix for a rare redrawing bug, resulting in black background on tabs (visual + styles, tabs at the top only). + + * prevent custom template background colors from taking the rgb value 0,0,0 to avoid + a problem with icon transparency and "pure" black bg color. A pure black bg color + is converted to rgb(1,1,1). + + + added support for the FontService plugin by sje to customize message window fonts and back- + grounds. If font service plugin is enabled, tabSRMMs own font+color configuration page + is disabled. However, tabSRMM still maintains its own copy of font + color settings in + the DB so that you can switch between using font service and the old dialog easily. + + + restored "mark on double click" for the message history log. + + * the info panel splitter now follows the settings for the normal splitter (global, private + saving policy etc.). + + + added visual styles support for button tabs (using pushbutton skins). + + ! fixed transparency issues when changing focus + + + activating the smiley selection window does no longer switch containers transparency to + "inactive". + NOTE: requires new build of smileyadd.dll (included in this release) and does NOT work + with IEViews smiley selection window. Sorry for that, but it needs a small change in + the smiley selection window code. So I would have to distribute a modified IEView aswell + (which I don't like). + + + added global options for container(s). The container options dialog now allows you to + set the options for any container to "global" or "private". All containers using global + options share one set of container configuration flags (and transparency values). + Title bar format and container window position/size can be set independently to either + global or private. + + + added the info panel allowing for dual avatar display. + + + added idle detection (if the protocol supports it) and render icons "dimmed" for idle + contactst. + + + improved support for international nicknames. tabSRMM can now encode nicknames with the + ANSI codepage you've set for a given contact. To set a codepage, do the following: + * right click the message log in an open tabSRMM message window and select a code page + OR + * use the user preferences dialog (tabSRMM settings), available from the contacts context + menu + + + more info panel stuff - ability to show the local time of the contact (if a timezone is + provided). Now also shows the protocol beside the status mode. + + + hovering the status field in the info panel will try to retrieve the away message for + that contact and show it using a tooltip. Away msg retrieval is limited to once per + minute to avoid abuse by flooding the contact with awaymsg requests. + The little checkbox between the avatar and the status field can be used to disable + that feature (to avoid "accidentially" retrieving the status msg). + + + tree views in various option pages were updated to use better check box and node + images. + + + support for the scrolling service in future builds of IEView was added. Now, ieview + will always properly scroll down the message log. + + + setting the own avatar, using the bottom avatar display (when the info panel is active) + will now set the protocols avatar. At the moment, this works only with MSN, because + it's the only protocol providing the SetAvatar service. + + + added support for extra status icons (icq5). Requires a recent build of ICQJ (alpha) or + ISee. The extra status icon is visible in the info panel, just in front of the nickname. + + + added ability to set a timezone for any contact, using the user preferences dialog box + (tabSRMM settings in the user context menu). This will work with all protocols and + OVERRIDE the contacts timezone provided by the protocol (currently, only icq provides a + timezone information). + + If a valid timezone is found, the contacts local time will be shown in the info panel, + and can be used for message log timestamps. + + + added "paste and send" feature. Available as a hotkey (Ctrl-D) or from the context menu + in the input area. Pastes the current contents of the clipboard to the message input area + and immediately sends the message. Needs to be enabled under Options->General->Sending + Messages. + + + added tooltip to the info panel nickname field when the contact has set an extended + status (icq only). + +Version 0.9.9.95pre7 - 2005/05/23 + + * double click works again for closing tabs (even with button tabs) + + ! bugfix: redraw errors when restoring a maximized container + + + added a help window to the template editor describing all the variables and + modifiers. + + * 2nd try to fix Ctrl-W and Ctrl-F4 (Win 9x only) + + + added option to force some extra redraws (options -> tabs and layout -> Force + more aggressive window updates). If enabled, it will force additional re- + draws. + + * optimized visual styles rendering on the tab control. Don't draw unneeded stuff. + +Version 0.9.9.95pre6 - 2005/05/20 + + ! bugfix - tab control did not use the proper visual style part for leftmost + tabs. + + ! bugfix - in some cases, the wrong font was used for drawing the tab labels + so that they appeared oversized and clipped (or the opposite which resulted + in too much padding). + + ! fixed Ctrl-W and Ctrl-F4 causing crashes. + + * rewrote automatic container creation. Should be faster now, and hopefully + with less problems. + + * changed visual style drawing method on tabs. Now, it uses real transparency + so it should work with all visual styles w/o drawing problems or inaccuracies. + + ! when changing the style or theme, tab colors are re-read when using standard + windows colors to draw tab labels and backgrounds. + + + added current 2-digit input locale identifier to the status bar. + + + autlocale does no longer use WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST, because that's causing + troubles with some systems (reasons unknown). Instead, it now uses WM_INPUTLANGCHAGE + +Version 0.9.9.95pre5 - 2005/05/20 + + ! fixed bugs with the new custom tab control. No more label clipping errors + (hopefully). Also, when using classic windows theme, bottom tabs are + are restored to their default look and no longer show as buttons. + + + added option to use standard windows colors for button style tabs to mark the + active and hot-tracked tab. + + + added "autolayout" option for single row tab controls. If enabled, all tabs + will have the same width, depending on the number of tabs and available + space. Works only, if the tab control is in "single row mode". Tab text will + be clipped accordingly and filled with ellipsis (...), if needed. + + The option to set the tab control to "single row" has been removed from the + container options and moved to the "Tab Appearance" dialog. It is now a + global setting. Multi-row tab controls are still supported however. + + ! fixed weird bug with mousewheel behaviour when IEView is active. + + * changed the "tabs and layout" option page to use a tree view with check- + boxes to make it consistent with other option pages. + +Version 0.9.9.95pre4 - 2005/05/20 + + * docs updated (Popups.txt, readme.txt, README.ICONS) + + + added an option to disable tabSRMMs internal event notifications system + (options -> Message Sessions -> Event notifications). Use this, if you + want to continue using an external NewEventNotify plugin. This will only + prevent tabSRMM from showing popups or other notifications. Things like + the session list will continue to work. + The same switch is available on the tray context menu (Disable all event + notifications) + + ! don't re-create the tray icon after explorer crash, if tray icon support + is disabled. + + + variables added: %cX for setting a font color, & as variable modifier to + "skip" the contextual font setting. + + * improvements to the tray and floater. There is a new option to show the + floater only when the contact list is minimized (not visible). Also, a bug + with windows minimized to the tray has been solved. + + * optimized the template parser for more speed (as a penalty, the code size + increased a few k). + + * several UI improvements to increase usabilty. + + + added custom tab control with the ability to show skinned tabs at the bottom + properly. Also, it can be configured to act as a "button bar". + Right click a tab and choose "Configure Tab Appearance" to set some + options. + + In "classic mode" (visual styles not available or disabled), bottom tabs + will always look "flat" (like a switch bar). + + + added mousewheel-controlled tab switching. If you move the mousewheel while + the pointer is over the tab bar area, it will switch tabs. Moving the wheel + upwards will switch to the previous tab, while moving the wheel downwards + will switch to the next tab. + + + added flicker-free avatar drawing + + + changed grouping mode slightly. Last midnight will now break a group in any + case, so messages from yesterday cannot be grouped with messages from today. + +Version 0.9.9.95pre3 - 2005/05/10 + + ! fixed HUGE bug with bbcode color handling. + + ! fixed memory leak in ShowPicture() (avatar handling). thanks to ghazan. + + + added various settings to the message log and general options pages (icon/ + symbol config, default send format). + + + attempt to fix the mouswheel problem. + + ! fixed month number variable + + + added %fX variable (switch to font). + + * autoreplacer should work again. + + * fixed few visual glitches (multiple send indicator and switch toolbar on/off, + overlapping multisend indicator and message input area). + + * free() sendqueue buffers in Unload() to stop BC complaining. + + * msg log icons are no longer cached to allow fully "transparent" icons in + the message log. slightly slower when loading lots of events, but not + dramatically. + + ! fixed bug with WYSIWYG formatting in the input box. + + * bbcodes are no longer stripped when bbcode support is off. They are now ignored. + + * redesigned the event popups option page. Separate settings for the floater are + now available. + + + added option to show/hide floater (independent of tray icon support) + + + added option to show the floater functionality in the message window. If enabled, + the status bar will show a small icon in the bottom left corner. Left click it + for a session list (list of open tabs), right click it for the tray menu to access + favorites, recent list and some global options. Again, this option is not related + to tray icon or floater support and can be enabled without the tray icon or the + floater being visible. + + * some improvments to the template editor. + + + fixed bug with favorite contacts menu. + + + New hotkeys added: + Alt-NumPad/ -> set focus to the message log + Alt-NumPad* -> set focus to the message input area + Alt-M -> activate multisend mode (and set the focus to the multisend contact list + Alt-NumPad+ and AltNumPad- cycle tabs (same as CtrlPgUp/Dn) + + ! fixed bug with IcoLib support (icons disappearing, crashes) + +Version 0.9.9.95pre1/2 - 2005/04/15 + + + added message templates for the default message log. As a result, many options + are now different or gone, because they can be replaced by using custom + templates in a better way. + + Please refer to: http://www.miranda.or.at/forums/index.php/topic,610.0.html + for some documentation about available variables and templates in general. + + + Icon packs have been updated with proxal icons. Both the XP and the default + (98/ME) packs are now using the icons from the proxal set). + + * no more smiley button in forwarding sessions, both for smileyadd and ieview. + Depending on the smiley pack configuration, smileyadd or ieview may crash, + because forwarding windows are not assigned to a specific protocol. + + ! quoting selection with ieview may fail in a few very rare cases. + + * Splitter position is now saved in a private database entry. It is no longer + shared with SRMM or other SRMM-based message windows. As a result, message + windows may come up with a default splitter position. + + + added support for SRMM-style "focused" and "unfocused" incoming message + sounds. Focused, in that context, means that the container needs to be the + foreground window and the tab needs to be active. All inactive tabs or containers + are considered "unfocused". + + Sound effects can be configured under Miranda Options->Events->Sounds + + + added quick sound toggle switch on the status bar. The icon shows whether + sounds are off or on. Clicking the icon will toggle sound effects, holding + SHIFT while clicking the icon will apply the current state to all *open* + containers. Sound toggle is a per container setting and will be saved when + you close a container. + + + save the font for the input area under SRMsg aswell so that the MSN plugin + will find it. + + + the rich edit log can now recognize simple BBCode tags for formatting text in + bold, italic and underline. + + + The parser has been updated and can now convert the rich edit output from the + message input box into bbcodes. It can still parse to "simple" tags (the */_ + stuff) though. There is a new submenu in the protocol menu on the toolbar which + allows you to select which formatting method you want. You can also set this + "per contact" since not everybodys IM client can handle bbcodes. + + + the message grouping mode has been overhauled. Just check it out - it looks + better :) + + + integrated an own version of event notifications. tabSRMM no longer requires a + EventNotify plugin. This stuff has a lot of options, including support for system + tray baloon tooltips instead of popups (these can announce unicode messages). Also, + a very comprehensive system tray support has been added. + + ! fixed a very rare unicode-related problem when using ieview. + + + added message API 0.0.0.3 as outlined in SRMM. + + + added 2 submenus to the right-click tray menu: "Favorite Contacts" and "Recent + Sessions". The first lets you save up to 20 contacts as favorites. To save a + contact as favorite, open a message window and click the small dropdown button + on the toolbar, right of the user menu button. There is a submenu called "Favorites" + which allows you to add or remove a contact from the list of favorites. + + The "Recent Sessions" list automatically saves the 20 most recently used sessions + (whenever you close a message window). Both favorites and recent sessions are + stored in the DB, so they will survive a miranda restart. + + + added "auto select and copy" for the message history log. If you release the left mouse + button when text is selected in the log it will be copied to the clipboard instantly. + You need to enable this on the "General" option page ("Auto-copy message log selection") + + * Hold CTRL to instantly insert the selected text in the message input area (plain text) + at the current cursor position (may replace any selection in the input area). + * Hold CTRL-ALT - as above, but inserts formatted text + + * changed hotkeys: Alt-Left/Alt-Right for tab switching to Ctrl-PgUp/PgDown. Alt-Left/Right + causes some strange and annoying effects with some non-western keyboard layouts. + Reasons unknown so far. + + + added hotkey to invoke the Protocol Menu: Ctrl-P (works with and without toolbar visible). + + + included a new build of smileyadd which should fix the "gadu gadu" protocol bug (no smileys + visible on GG). The included smileyadd.dll is for TABSRMM ONLY. + + ! various resource leaks fixed - thanks to ghazan for hunting them down :) + + ! automatically creating tabs or windows does no longer switch and "steal" keyboard + layout (autolocale bug) + + ! IEview no longer steals focus from the input area when a container has been created in + the background (minimized) + + + added option to disable animation when minimizing containers to the system tray + + + added tooltip for the tray icon so that XP remembers the autohide status of this icon. + + + various popup fixes - they now show auth and added requests properly (including nickname + and protocol from which they came). + + * the "add contact bar" is gone, because it was wasting way too much screenspace and made + the dialog layouting more complex than necessary. Instead, 2 buttons (Add it, Don't add) + are now visible for any contact which has not been permanently added to your contact list. + These buttons appear just right of the message input area (and left of the avatar, if + present) and are independent of the toolbar setting. + + + added support for IEViews "save message log as html" feature. Choose File->Save Message + Log As..." from the menubar. + + * reorganized message log options. Message log formatting is now global by default. A new + dialog has been added to the user menu (Messaging Options) which allows you to override + all "per contact" options. + + + added hotkey: F12 toggles "freeze message log updates". When enabled, all updates to the + message log are frozen until you disable it again. That means, new messages are NOT sent + to the message log. However, these messages are not lost, they are internally queued and + will be written to the message log when you unfreeze it. This is useful, if you want to + read the message log w/o being disturbed by new arriving messages causing the log to scroll + to the bottom automatically. + + + added better mouswheel handling. Using the mousewheel now scrolls the control with the + pointer in it (no need to change focus). + + * replaced the tray-icon double click with a middle mouse button click action. + + ! fixed: wrong (own) nickname may show up in the message log history for metacontacts. + + + tray icon will now be recreated after explorer has crashed (and restarted). + + * Meta Contacts support: show user details page of current protocol instead of the meta + contacts page. + + + added a "floater" to access the session list and tray menus when tray icon support is + disabled. The floater is a small window which will stay on top and has 2 icons - one + will open the session list, the other will give you access to the tray icon context + menu holding some options and the favorites and recent menus. + Useful if you don't like the tray icon or usually work with a hidden taskbar. + +Version 0.9.9.94 - 2005/04/11 + + * small fix with static avatars and toolbar button hiding. + + + added support for the Math Module plugin. Requires recent MathModule + version. MathMod support can be activated on the Message Log options + page (only, if the plugin is active, otherwise the option is grayed out) + + * attempt to fix a rich edit "feature" which may sometimes automatically change + input locale (keyboard layout). + +Version 0.9.9.93 - 2005/04/11 + + * updated translation template, added german translation + + * some option pages updated (conditionally enable/disable controls) + + * removed unused "Sound" submenu from the menu bar. + + * icon descriptions for IcoLib are now translateable (see the section at the + end of the language template). + + + added MS_MSG_GETWINDOWAPI ("MessageAPI/WindowAPI") service for Message + API 0.0.0.2 specs + + * when using the "Send Later" send mode, a log message informs you about + successfully passing the message over to buddypounce. If using IEView, the + message is printed to the status bar instead. + + * MetaContacts support - the status icons in the title bar and on the tool + bar are now showing the actual protocol icons. Also, smileyadd will now use + the smiley set which has been configured for the actual protocol. No more + need to define an extra smiley set for the MetaContacts protocol (does not + work with IEView though, because IEView does its smiley selection alone). + + Consequently, the MetaContacts control menu has been moved from the status + bar to the tool bar -> right click the protocol button for the MetaContacts + context menu. + + ! fixed small visual glitch with the add contact bar. + + * changed memory handling for the sendqueue and input history.. fixed possible + memory corruption with DBCS strings. + + * some IEView related updates.. codepage for force ansi send mode + + + quoting support for IEView (requires very recent IEView, not yet released) + + + bumped version requirement. Beginning with 0.9.9.93, tabSRMM REQUIRES Miranda + 0.4 or later. + +Version 0.9.9.92 - 2005/03/31 + + * plugins like HTTPServer (and all others which try to feed text into the message + input area) should now work with the unicode version of tabsrmm. + + ! fixed broken dialog layout on forward message + + ! nicknames may again contain characters like { and } w/o messing up the message + log display. + + * status bar remembers typing notification state + + * static avatar code changed. It's now really static, although, internally + it is using the dynamic resizing code aswell. Static avatar mode can be + selected on the "General" options page, and you can specify a height limit for + avatars. Bigger images will be scaled down accordingly. When moving the splitter + upwards, the image will be vertically centered within the available space. + The splitter position may be adjusted to make enough space for the avatar. + + NOTE: If you set the limit to 0, the avatars are hard limited to 100 pixels + in height (MSN appears to have the biggest avatars at 96x96 pixels). + + ! GUI fixes (option pages)... + + + it is now possible to set RTL as default text direction (Message Log options + page). The per-contact override is still working though, so if you have RTL set + as default, you can switch to LTR for some contacts. + + ! splitter position is now decoupled from the message log settings. There is a new + submenu in the protocol menu dropdown on the toolbar where you can setup splitter + parameters (global, local, private). + + Global: all tabs / windows use the same splitter position. Note that, when using + static avatars, splitter position may need to be corrected so that the avatar + can fit. + + Per contact: Each contact has its own splitter position. + + Private: This works as an "per contact" override. When using private, this contact + will always use its own splitter position and ignore global settings + completely. Useful, if you basically want a global splitter position, but + override it for a few contacts (for whatever reason given). + + Also, the splitter menu allows you to disable auto-saving of the splitter position + when a tab is closed. "Save now" does exactly this - it saves the splitter position + depending on the current mode (global, per contact, private). + + ! fixed some issues with forwarding and non-standard container modes (single window, + limited # of tabs/container). + +Version 0.9.9.91 - 2005/03/28 + + * non-unicode version now sets the IEEF_NO_UNICODE flag for IEview. That may + resolve some crash problems. + + * some fixes related to the new icon loading stuff (ico lib). + + * rich edit max size fix for the message log + + * more aggressivly obeys the maxmessagelen flag returned by a + protocol to set the maximum allowed size of a message typed into the input + area. + + ! fixed typing notify icon in contact list and tray (did appear as blank). + +Version 0.9.9.9 - 2005/03/24 + + * after quoting, input focus is set to the message input area. + + + added support for the IcoLib plugin. If IcoLib is installed, you can change + tabSRMM icons using the GUI provided by IcoLib. You still NEED to install + an icon pack and put it into \plugins. This icon pack provides the default + icons, and you must not remove it, even if you override icons via IcoLib. + + Iconpacks are still supported, so if you don't use IcoLib, you can still + change your icons by installing a different tabsrmm_icons.dll. + + - the feature to load an icon pack at runtime has been removed, because of the + IcoLib support. IcoLib is a more comfortable way to change your icons at + runtime w/o having to restart miranda. + + ! fixed vertical maximize when taskbar is at the top (hope so) + + * the avatar does no longer react on left button clicks. This stops the flickering + aswell. Right button click still works and opens the context menu. + + + added new send mode "send later". Buddypounce plugin is required for this + (otherwise it is disabled). It will just pass the message to buddypounce for + later delivery. Note: since buddypounce does not support unicode messages, + an implicit "force ansi" send mode is used. + + * dialog layout tweaks. It is now possible to get rid of all borders, including + the outer tab control padding. The relevant settings are on the "tabs and + layout" option page. You can set inner and outer border/padding values. It's + a bit hard to explain what they do - best thing is to play around with them + + + new options (message log option page). "Attempt to fix future timestamps. + CAUTION: may have side effects. What it does is simple: When appending incoming + events during a session (while the window is open), it does not check for the + timstamps and just appends them to the log. This will fix the issue, that messages + with a timestamp "in the future" will always appear at the bottom of the log. + It works only wile the window is open, it does not and CAN not work for loading + the history. + +Version 0.9.9.9 - 2005/03/19 + + ! vertical maximize didn't allow to restore the window from the taskbar + + + new hotkey Shift+Alt T toggles the menubar in the current container (remember, + Alt-T toggles the toolbar). + + * vertical maximize can now be set quickly from the menu bar (view menu). + + + added handler for ACKTYPE_FAILED (possibly used by "delete avatar" feature(s) + + * changed smileybutton icon handling - if no button smiley is available in the + smileypack, the icon from the icons.DLL is now used by default. + + * when "send formatting info is disabled", formatting buttons are hidden from the + toolbar. + + * shift-clicking the user menu button now copies the real UIN of a metacontact (the + UIN of the "most online" protocol) and not the metacontact UIN itself (which is + pretty useless). + +Version 0.9.9.8 - 2005/03/04 + + + added icon pack version information. Valid icon packs need to contain a string + identifier ("__tabSRMM_ICONPACK 1.0__") in order to be recognized. You can still + load icon packs without this identifier, but you'll get a warning message. + This was added to avoid problems when specifiyng a DLL which is, in fact, not + a valid icon pack for tabSRMM. In such cases, the plugin could even crash badly + on startup, which can be a very annoying (and hard to find) bug. + + Also, with version information in the icon pack, future versions of tabsrmm may + work with "old" icon packs. + + When you edit an iconpack, DO NOT change the string table identifier. The ordinal + number for the string identifier is 101. + + The version check can be disabled on the "tabs and layout" page (just below the + option to load a new icon pack at runtime) by unchecking "Perform version check on Icon DLL" + + + added option to "vertical maximize" a container (per container setting). If enabled, + a container is maximized only in its vertical dimension, so that the window will + take the entire screen *height*, but will keep its current width. When disabled, + the container will show default maximize behaviour (taking entire screen). + + ! fixed bug with soft line feeds (SHIFT-Enter) when sending formatting info is enabled. + + * changing message log or other option will no longer wipe the text from the input + area. + + ! reset last eventtype and timestamp (for grouping messages) before rebuilding the log. + This fixes an issue where the first message in the log could be visible with "in group" + formatting (w/o an icon, nickname and long timestamp). + + ! ctrl-enter inserts linefeed when "send on enter" is active. I broke that a few + versions ago. + + * if an ansi codepage is set for the current contact (right click the message log and + select a codepage), the unicode version now uses this codepage to encode the ansi + part of the message. If no codepage is set, the default, system wide, codepage (CP_ACP) + will be used. This will only affect the unicode version, the ansi version is always + using the current codepage. + + * force ansi send extended to receive - if set, messages received from a "force ansi" + contact will ignore the unicode part. + +Version 0.9.9.7 - 2005/03/04 + + ! re-enabled the "show multisend" menu bar item. + + ! export/import themes now show the appropriate file selection window (open/save as) + + ! fixed send on shift enter. + + ! "Flat message log" now tries to remove static edges from ieview and message input + area aswell. + + ! detecting IEView on startup didn't work with some configurations. + + ! When "send formatting info" was active in the non-unicode version, additional + linefeeds were sent at the end of each message. + + ! new send mode - force ANSI. When enabled, messages will be sent as pure ansi, + using the current codepage. Useful when the client of your buddy has troubles + receiving unicode messages. This setting is a "per contact" OVERRIDE and WILL + STICK even if you close the message window until you deactivate it. + This has only an effect in the unicode version of tabSRMM - the non-unicode always + sends ANSI. + + + the protocol menu is back. At the moment, it has only one submenu for configuring + the message log. It is now possible to switch between rich edit and IEView "on the + fly" while the message window is open. Please note, that these settings are saved + to the contacts db record, so you can now override the message log being in use + on a "per contact" basis. + Example: You have set the default option to use the IEView plugin (message log + options). You can now override this setting for a specific contact and force + the default message log. + (or vice versa, of course). + + + made hotkeys translateable. Please refer to the translation template included in the + archive to figure out which strings need to be translated. The hotkeys are at the + very end of this file. + + + new hotkey - Alt-T (default). Toggles toolbar quickly. + +Version 0.9.9.6 - 2005/02/23 + + ! flicker-free formatting button update + + ! changed multisend UI a bit. There is now a new button just right of the send button. + It's called "send menu" and looks like a small dropdown toolbar button. If you click + it (hotkey is Ctrl-S) a menu will open, allowing you to set the sending mode. 3 + modes are available at the moment: + 1) Default (send to contact only). + 2) Send to multiple Users - will open the multisend window, allowing you to choose + up to 20 contacts. + 3) Send to container - this replaces the /all command (which didn't work well with + the new message input box code anyway) and will send the message to all tabs + in the current container. + + More "sending modes" may be added in the future. + + The old multisend button is gone, however, if you are in *any* multisend mode, an + icon will appear left of the input box, indicating that the message you are typing + *may* be sent to more than a single contact. + + ! applying any options does no longer hide the error controls, if the window/tab is in + "error state". + + * support for IEView's smiley-selection window added. If you have enabled the support + for the "external log" (ieview), the smiley button will now show IEViews smiley + selection control. This requires IEView 1.0.1.7 or later. + +Version 0.9.9.5a - 2005/02/22 + + Bugfix release only. + + ! tab icons were partially broken because of the "load icon pack at runtime" feature. + + ! The menu entry to select in/out icons did not work properly. + + ! when loading a new icon pack at runtime, all message windows will be closed before + applying the new icons. A dialog box will inform you about this and you can, of course, + cancel the process. + + ! the "protocol menu" button was visible, even it does not (yet) provide any functionality. + + ! The option "do not resize avatars less than x pixels in height" should now work ok. + + ! fixed possible problem with unicode detection. + +Version 0.9.9.5 - 2005/02/17 + + First, this requires a new tabsrmm_icons.dll format. Icons have been added , so you'll + need to upgrade your icon packs. You can use the provided .DLL files as a template + as always. The new ordinal numbers are: + + #19 secureim disabled + #20 secured connection + + 19 and 20 are only necessary, if you have a tabsrmm compatible SecureIM.dll (which + is not yet available). + + #21 this icon is now used for status changes + + + merged std's patch for improved indenting with tabstops. This option works best + with the following msg log settings: + *) grouping enabled + *) message body in a new line + *) mark followup messages with timestamps + + It is a new message log option, available either as global or per-contact option + (depending on the message log option mode - global or per-contact). + + + merged Ghosts patch for interaction with the SecureIM plugin. It needs an updated + Secure IM plugin which is not yet released. + + ! fixed a resizing issue with "windowshade" mode (if you're using windowblinds or other + utilities which support "rolling up" a window and reduce it to the title bar only. + + * changed the option pages to use a tab control. Now, tabSRMM inserts not more than + 2 entries into the options "tree" of Mirandas main options dialog. + * Message windows (all settings concerning the log, containers, layout etc.) + * typing notify (the old typing notify dialog). + * fonts and colors - still an extra page. + + Thanks to JdGordon for providing the sample source code :) + + + options->fonts and colors: New setting "Extra microspacing at the end of a paragraph". + Does exactly this. It adds "n" pixels of additional space after a paragraph and + before the grid line (if using them). This is to avoid the rather ugly look with + some fonts, where characters like "j, g, y" etc." are sitting directly ON the + grid line. You have to tweak this setting depending on the font you are using + for displaying messages - some fonts need it, others dont. Set it to 0 to + disable the effect. + + + The hotkey Alt+X now works like in other programs - it interpretes the characters + preceding the cursor as hexadecimal representation of a valid unicode character code + and inserts this character right at the cursor. + e.g. type "263a" and hit Alt+X - it will insert a little face. + + ! in status change events, the nickname was displayed with the wrong font/color setting + (own nickname configuration). + + * changed ACK code - the "per message window" ack handler is now replaced by a global + ack dispatcher. + + + multisend is back, still EXPERIMENTAL though. Use with care and be warned that some + stuff, like error handling, doesn't work as it should. Multisend is currently limited + to 20 contacts/send - this may or may not change in the future, depending on how well + it works. + + ! when creating tabs minimized in the background, the container didn't always flash as + it should. + + + added new icon to the tabsrmm_icons.dll ordinal #21 - used for status change messages + in the message log. + + + added new color option in the "Fonts and colors" dialog. It is now possible to set the + color of the *horzontal" grid lines independently of the background color. The vertical + grid lines can not use this color (its a rich edit limitation), but you can disable them + if you want. + + + added *basic* theming support. The message log menu (menubar or toolbar button) contains + 2 new entries which allow you to export or import all visual settings to/from .ini + format files. The following things are exported: + * all fonts (including colors, style, charset etc..) + * all background colors + * all message log formatting options. + The files are using a .tabrmm extension but are standard plaintext .ini files. + + + added extra font setting for error messages. Previously, they were using the same font + as status changes did. The new font setting is appended to the font list, so you don't + need to reconfigure everything this time :) + + * unified all eventhooks - finally. + + + added simple text formatting routines for formatting *bold* /italic/ and _underline_ + in the message log. Some code was taken from the textformat plugin and adopted to + tabSRMM (unicode aware, some small changes)- + + * added message log options: "use symbols instead of icons". This will use symbols + from the webdings font for marking events in the message log, instead of drawing + icons. The advantage is that this is WAY faster and uses only a fraction of the + memory consumed by the icon code. There are 2 new font settings (symbols incoming + and symbols outgoing) - you can set the size+color, but not the font itself (it + is forced to use the Webdings symbol font). + + - removed static avatar layout. Avatars are now always dynamically resized and the layout + is constantly tweaked to avoid a "damaged" tool bar. A new option is available + under Options->Messaging: + [ ] Always keep the button bar at full width + This option, when enabled, will prevent the avatar from using toolbar space. Its + useful if you have enabled the formatting buttons, because they will increase the + space needed on the toolbar significantly. + + [ ] Do not resize avatars less than [___] pixels in height. + When opening a window/tab, the avatar will be kept in its original size when it is + less than x pixels heigh (where x is configurable). The splitter position will be + set so that the avatar can be drawn unresized. + + ! fixed dividers screwing up linespacing sometimes. + + * UIN is now cached for non-metacontacts (saves service calls at every status change and + titlebar update. + + * UIN can now be shown in the status & title bar. The UIN button is gone from the tool- + bar. + + * changed toolbar code. Its no longer possible to hide button groups separately. You + can now quickly show/hide the toolbar from a menu entry (view->tool bar) or from the + container options dialog. Toolbar is also no longer a global, but a "per container" + setting, so you can have different configurations in different containers. + Toolbar resizing and button hiding is now dyanmic. The layout code will hide less + important buttons when there is not enough space. + + + new option -> Tabs and layout: Flat message log. When checked, the message log will + appear w/o a border or static window edge. + + + ability to configure which buttons should be hidden first when the available space + on the button bar is not sufficient to display all buttons. You can choose between the + formatting controls and the standard buttons. You can also choose if you want the send + button to be hidden automatically. + + * The "add contact" button is gone from the standard toolbar. For contacts which are not + on the contact list, additional controls will be shown "on demand", including a button + to add them. + + * improved formatting code - you can now write something like _this_is_nice_ and the + formatting code will ignore tags within words. Options->message log->Format whole words + only. In general, this will ignore formatting "tags" (*/_) within words, which means + that you can only format whole words. + + + it's now possible to change the icon theme "on the fly". You can load a new icon .dll + under Options->Message Window->Tabs and layout. All icons will be updated "on the fly". + +Version 0.9.9.4 - 2005/01/24 + + + added support for the snapping windows plugin. Yeah, even if I personally HATE + snapping windows, its done. Why? Because this great plugin makes it so easy - + a single line of code is enough :) + You can find this great plugin here: + http://www.miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=923 + + However, its off by default, you need to activate it by checking the option + under Options->Message sessions->Message containers. + + * changed window flashing code. Its now using FlashWindowEx() which means that + tabSRMM won't work on Windows 95 anymore, but I don't think thats a problem :) + The advantage is a code which is less complex and saves resources as well (the + old code had to deal with timers for flashing the windows, the new code doesn't + need to do this anymore). + + Another advantage is that you can now set the number of flashes (only applies to + containers which are using the "default" value and are NOT set to flash forever) + and the flashing interval. You can find both options under Options->Message sessions-> + Container options. + + ! The option "use contacts local time" should no longer break message grouping when + the adjusted time of the buddy is "in the future". + +Version 0.9.9.3 - 2005/01/20 + + + new "per container option": "Use static icon" - if checked, the + container will use a static icon instead of showing the contacts + status icon. The icon will be obtained from the tabsrmm_icons.dll + using ordinal #18 (IDI_CONTAINER). If you're using a modified + tabsrmm_icons.dll, you'll have to reshack it and supply a valid + icon. + + The message icon will still be visible when the container has unread + events in one of its tabs, but the status icon(s) will be replaced by + the static container icon. + + * the tabsrmm_icons.dll will now be recognized in both the .\plugins and + .\icons subdirectories. + Order of search is: + a) .\plugins + b) .\icons + + ! just another focus fix - in some cases, containers didn't gain the focus + when they actually should. Opening sessions using hokeys (HotContact plugin) + should now work again. + + ! metacontacts support - don't force a protocol when the MetaContacts protocol + returns an error. + + ! metacontacts support - check for forced protocol at tab creation. + PLEASE UPDATE your MetaContacts plugin -> at least 0.8.0.8 is now required + by tabsrmm. + + + new option: "Flash contact list and tray icons for new events in unfocused windows". + This is some kind of "icq style" event notification - the contact list and + the tray icon will flash when you receive a message in a window which is not + focused. Only the first event for each contact will trigger the flashing and + it will go away when the tab receives the focus. You may also click the tray icon + or double click the contact in the clist to activate the tab. + + You can find this option under "Options->Message sessions->Messaging" + Note that, this MAY cause problems with other events like incoming file transfers. + +Version 0.9.9.2 - 2005/01/18 + + ! fixed - status icon on the container did not appear when the title bar + was forced to not show the buddy status text. + + ! the dialog box for choosing the autopopup status modes is now translateable. + + ! hopefully fixed the long standing bug which was causing the container to + steal the focus, even when it was created minimized on the taskbar. + + * NEW SEND QUEUE system - work in progress, handle with care :) + multisend is temporarily disabled, because it doesn't really work right + now, but in the end it should, and it should work even better than the + old system. + + The rewritten send queue may cause troubles with error handling, so please + backup your old tabsrmm.dll first. You have been warned. + Also, icon feedback may be broken as of now. + +Version 0.9.9.1 - 2005/01/14 + + ! fixed a few translation bugs (menu bar, the new status mode dialog) + + + new option: typing notify->Flash window once on typing events. + This can be disabled to avoid the flashes when a typing notification + arrives... + It is enabled by default and replaces the old option to enable the + typing notify window icons (which is gone). + + ! manually opening a container does not give him a message icon instead + of the status icon. + + * when a container shows a message icon indicating unread events in one + of its tabs, the typing notify icon may temporarily override the message + icon. + + + meta contact support: When the toolbar button is set to show the full UIN, + it will now display the UIN of the active subcontact, instead of the + MetaContact ID# (which is a simple number and not really important to know). + +Version 0.9.9.0 - 2005/01/08 - BETA + + This is the first official "BETA" version of tabSRMM. It will be released on + Mirandas plugin page as well as my sourceforge project site. There are a few + known bugs left, but otherwise the plugin works fine and has lots of new options + and features since the last "official" release which was 0.0.8. + + * removed debugging option to disable micro linefeeds + + * minor layout changes (avatar field alignment and tab control client area) + + * removed obsolete code for layouting the multisend splitter in the old way. + + * reviewed all dialog boxes and maxed the horizontal space for most + configuration options (checkboxes mainly) to make translation into other + languages easier. + + * included new version of NewEventNotify which should help against double + popups when using the metacontacts plugin. + + * the option "Remove trailing empty lines" is now on by default. + + + added basic support for the metacontacts plugin. There is a new status + bar indicator showing the protocol in use. It is there for all contacts, + but for metacontacts it opens a context menu if you click the protocol + icon with your right mouse button. + + * changed internal typing notification code - it's now using the popup configuration + setting from the current container so that you can have the baloon-type + tray notifications or flashing icons based on the state of the current window + (minimized, unfocused etc.) + + ! the error control buttons were not translateable. Fixed. + + * metacontacts support: unforce protocol added to tab closing code and the + context menu in the status bar. + + * tabsrmm can now display notifications and debug messages using ballon-type + tray notifications. This feature no longer depends on the popup plugin. + See: Options->Message Session->Messaging->Notifications. Three settings are + available: + * None (disable them completely) + * Tray notifications (use baloon-style tray tooltips) + * Popups - use popups. If the popup plugin is not installed, it will fall + back to tray notifications. + + * the included NewEventNotify plugin can now use the OSD (on screen display) + plugin to display its notifications about new messages. You need to have + the OSD plugin installed and you need to actiavte it under: + Options->Popups->Event Notify->Use OSD plugin instead of popups. + NOTE: this is experimental - the osd plugin is very new and may contain + bugs. + + + added a tooltip to the new status bar panel - it shows your own nickname + and the active protocol. + + ! (hopefully) fixed a possible "crash at exit" problem. + +----------------------- + + + session stats tracking code added. tabSRMM will now track the stats of a + session, including the session length, the number of sent and received + messages, the total amount of sent and received characters, and the number + of delivery failures. + There is no code (yet) to display these stats though. + +----------------------- + + + merged bids crash fixes for the smileyadd plugin into my own version of + smileyadd for tabSRMM. + + + added versioninfo block to the resources. + + + added an option to specify on which status modes, windows and tabs may be + created automatically on incoming events. + Check "Options->Message sessions->Message tabs->Setup Status modes... + + * changed the title bar + icon notification code. The message icon is now ex- + clusivly used for indicating a waiting event in a tab. Typing notifications + will be shown in the title bar, unless the window is focused. + Typing notification messages + icons should no longer remain when the window + receives a "typing off" message. + + Version 0.0.9.5 - 2005/01/04 + + ! fixed close tab on double click + + ! fixed missing PREF_UNICODE on resend attempts + + * new event for the event API - its fired before a message is sent. An external + plugin can use it to alter the content of the message input area. + This is for developers only - The event is sent via the MSG_WINDOW_EVT_CUSTOM + event type and the tabMSG_WINDOW_EVT_CUSTOM_BEFORESEND subtype is passed + via the evtCode field of the TABSRMM_SessionInfo structure. A pointer to this + structure is passed via MessageWindowEventData.local. + (see m_tabsrmm.h and m_message.h for further details). + +Version 0.0.9.4 - 2004/12/02 + + * small change in smileyadd and tabSRMM's interface to smileyadd as an attempt + to fix a rare bug with smiley background color in chat.dll windows. + YOU NEED TO REPLACE smileyadd.dll with the version in the archive, otherwise + smiley backgrounds in tabsrmm will not work when using the individual background + colors. + + + new option - > auto close tab after x minutes of inactivity. + Does exactly that. Tabs don't get autoclosed when: + a) unread messages are there (the tab icon is flashing) + b) the input area contains characters + + Things, which reset the inactivity timer: + + a) typing in the input area + b) new message arriving + c) activating/focusing the tab + + ! fixed disappearing avatar when applying options + + ! fixed right-alt-v does no longer paste. + + * quoting does no longer replace the entire typed message. The quoted text is now + inserted at the caret location. + + * You can now disable "Send on SHIFT Enter". + + * The small timestamp for grouped messages can be replaced by a simple ">" character. + + * added a new icon pack to the archive which you can find in the contrib directory. + This iconpack was contributed by Faith Healer. Thanks for sharing :) + + + added the new event api also found in SRMM to support external plugins. + + + added new option to delete temporary contacts when closing a session. + + + SHIFT-INS now behaves like CTRL-V and pastes plain text. + +Version 0.0.9.3 - 2004/11/14 + + * unified the unsent and charcounter displays on the statusbar. The new format + is now: x/yyyy where is is the number of queued messages (normally 0) and yyyy + the number of chars typed into the input box. + Reason: Make space on the status bar for new indicators coming in the future. + + * When using dynamic avatar resizing, the maximum size of an avatar is no longer + limited to 300 x 300 pixels. It can be up to 1024x768 pixels (not recommended though, + as this will use quite some memory) and will be downsized to match the splitter + position. + + * the dynamic avatar resizing now enforces a horzontal size limit - the avatar cannot + gain more than 80% of the width of the window width so the message input area + will never completely disappear because of the avatar taking all the available + space. Note that this may corrupt the aspect ratio of an avatar picture. + + ! fixed severe bug with avatars (messing up contacts handle) + + * added smart avatar resizing - when using the dynamic avatar resizing option, + the layouting code will now take care that the avatar won't take too much space + of the button bar. it will try to keep all the button visible. + + * threaded streaming (icon + smiley replacement) is now only used for filling the + initial message log. For adding single messages to the log, the threading stuff + is a waste because of its overhead. + + ! a divider should not appear at the very beginning of the message log, even if the + session qualifies for a divider because of its unfocused state. + + Version 0.0.9.2 - 2004/11/13 + + * various avatar layouting fixes. + + * removed "Send on double enter" as this is broken due to the rich edit input + area. + + * fixed MingW32 Makefile - works with GCC 3.4.1 and recent MingW32 builds. + Note, compiling with GCC results in a dll about 60-70 k larger than the + Visual C++ build - this is normal and no reason to worry... + + * the "unsent" display did not update properly when changing tabs. + + * the small line just below the menu bar (menu bar separator) is now coupled + with the visibility of the menu bar. It's invisible while the menu bar is + hidden. + +Version 0.0.9.1 - 2004/11/11 + + * RTL didn't fully work for the message input area + + * added small 2pixel margins to the message input area to make it look better + + * If you're using per-contact message log settings, you can now apply the current + log formatting options to all your contacts by choosing the option from the menu. + + * 2 new options for globally setting avatar display mode: + * On, if present -> show avatar if there is a valid one + * Globally off. Never show any avatar. No exceptions. + + * dynamic avatar resizing added. Check this under options -> messaging. + It will resize the avatar so that it fits depending on the current splitter + position. Splitter setting is enforced, so it will never change because of + the size of the avatar. + + * The unicode version is no longer using a RichEdit20W control for the input + area. Instead, its using the "A" version in conjunction with the extended + API for fetching and setting unicode strings. + +Version 0.0.8.99 - 2004/11/07 + + * the unicode version now uses utf-8 encoding to store various unicode settings + in the DB. No more blobs. + + * ability to show the tabs at the bottom. Looks fine with classic windows theme, + but may look strange with visual styles. + NOTE: Please don't complain - the official word from MS is that bottom tabs + are UNSUPPORTED under Windows XP when using visual styles. So either find + a style with "symmetric" tab skins (they look fine with bottom tabs in most + cases) or don't use bottom tabs. + Or use classic theme :) + + * New menubar added. It can be hidden (as a per container setting) and contains + many options which are normally only accessible via various option pages. + + * input area is now a rich edit control instead of a normal multiline edit box. + It was changed to allow future additions like text formatting + + * new avatar setting: Disable automatic Avatar updates. You can find it in the + avatar menu on the toolbar and in the new menu bar. This setting is "per contact" + only and will prevent automatic avatar changes, if you have, for example, set + your own custom picture for a specific contact. + + * simplified the font settings a bit. There are now less than before and they + were moved to another DB module path. So you will probably have to reconfigure + your fonts :( + + * fast copy the UIN to the clipboard by clicking on the usermenu button (second + button from the left) while holding the shift key. + + * Global settings for avatar display added. See Options -> Messaging. There are + 3 modes available to activate avatars per default, per default for protocols + which support them, or manually per contact. + +Version 0.0.8.98 - 2004/10/17 + + * fixed middle click close did not respect the "warn onl close" setting. + + * fixed small cosmetical issue with the status bar tn icon. + + * fixed typing notify icon not clickable if char count panel was disabled. + + * changed font and color configuration dialog. It now uses the same system + also used by the contact list font configuration screen. It's more + convient and easier to setup. You will probably have to re-setup some of + your font and color options. + + * redone the message log options dialog. Now, with the fonts moved to their + own page, this option page is less cluttered and easier to use. + + * changed the code which loads the smiley button icon. It now uses a button- + icon (if the smileypack contains one). If not, it tries to load the :) icon + and resizes it to 16x16 (if necessary). If all fails, a default icon from + the icon.dll is used. + + * made the thin (1pixel) grid lines optional. They are causing troubles with + some versions of the rich edit control. If you happen to get "invisible" + messages at the end of the log, turn off the "Thin grid lines" option. + + * changed the way indent works. There is now also a right-indent value. + If no indent value is given, a default of 3 pixel is used for left and right + margins. + + * ARGH, don't free() a pointer which might be needed ages later :) + This one was ugly, causing crashes after a failed message delivery. + + * redone the error controls. They are now at the top of the window, so there + is no more need to hide the button bar in order to show the error controls. + + * New message log formatting option: Group subsequent messages. If this is on + and you receive or send more than 1 message in a row, then those messages + will be "grouped". There will be no divider (grid line) between the grouped + messages, and only the first one will show the full header (nick and complete + timestamp). Subsequent messages will only show a short timestamp (no date). + + To make this look "good" you will probably have to play a bit with timestamp + and indentation settings. + + * the message log code now caches rtf font formatting strings for the. This will save + a few dozens of DB accesses and font calculations PER EVENT (message) when + building the message log. The speedup when loading 100 old events is + noticeable, even on fast machines. + + * its now possible to sync sounds for incoming message with the current container + option + + * improved "scroll to bottom" code. Works better when aligning avatar settings. + + + added ability to use "relative" timestamps like "Today" and "Yesterday" + + + added option to display date in "long" format (depends on your regional settings) + + * various fixes for the rich edit streaming code. All options, including thin + grid lines should now work for the Windows XP SP2 version of the rich edit + control. + + * moved the status bar to the container window. Previously, each tab had its own + status bar, which is a waste of resources. Now, they have to share a single + status bar. + + + added EXPERMIMENTAL multithreading for replacing icons and smileys in the message + log. The option is on the messaging options page and is off by default. + + +Version 0.0.8.95 - 2004/10/06 + + * sendquue stuff added. No more disabled input box while a message is sent. + + * more smileyadd changes, tabSRMM now has "native" support for a custom version + of smileyadd. It also places its own smileybutton. + + * icons splitted into a resource DLL. You NEED TO COPY ONE OF THE INCLUDED + tabsrmm_icons.dll to your Miranda plugin folder, otherwise you won't get + any icons. + + + new feature: you can toggle your own typing notifications FOR THIS CONTACT + ONLY by clicking the icon in the lower right corner of the window. + + NOTE that this only toggles the checkbox also found in the main miranda + options, so it will NOT force sending tn to contacts which are, for + example, not on your visible list. + + * a small (2 pixel) padding has been added to the message log window, even + when the normal indent is switched off. + + * grid lines are now only 1 pixel in width (they were 2). + + + the smiley button now shows the default smiley icon used for the :) smiley + (if available). The icon will be sized down to SM_CXSMICON/SM_CYSMICON + if necessary in order to fit on the button. + + If no default icon is available in the smiley pack, a fallback icon from + tabsrmms own icon.dll will be used. + + * subclassed the tab control to make "close on middleclick" possible. + +Version 0.0.8.92 - 2004/10/02 + + * disabled the streaming thread stuff - it was causing problems which could + be fixed, but require some more work "under the hood". + + * simplified divider code. No need to stream en extra event for these little + lines. + + * displaying message log icons should be way faster now + + * fixed smileybutton appearance somewhere in the message log when button bar + was disabled. + + * MSN avatars now update the mTooltip "Photo" page (if present). + +Version 0.0.8.91 - 2004/09/26 + + ! message log icons are now forced into 16x16 format + + ! the message log icon code now only searches the appended text when a new + message arrives which results in much faster operations for logs holding + a huge amount of text. + + + new option to limit the maximum number of tabs per container. This works + only for unassigned contacts (contacts which open in the default container) + and is not available when using the CLIST group container mode (grouping + your contacts according to your clist group configuration and then breaking + them up again wouldn't make sense anyway). + + Set the limit to 1 if you want one window per contact. + + * changed the EVENTTYPE for the status logging code. This will avoid such events + beeing classified as "SMS" events. + + NOTE: if you experience troubles with the log ignoring the color/font settings + for old and new events: This is a result of this change and it will AUTOMATICALLY + go away as soon as there are no more old status change events in the log. So + you could for example limit the number of old events loaded... + + There is also a new "NewEventNotify.dll" which you need to install in order to + avoid the "unknown event" popups if you have: + a) status change logging enabled, and + b) enabled the NewEventNotify option to get notifications on "other" events. + + * loading the avatar is now using its own thread to avoid a frozen main thread + while loading remote pictures. + + + new option on "message tabs" options page: You can remove the static edges on + the splitter and the line just below the message log to get a completely "flat" + looking toolbar. + + + new container mode: "Use single window mode". This will create implicit containers + for each session you open. It will completely ignore all container assignments + you have made (they will stay intact though, so you could switch back to + manual or CLIST group mode at any time) and open a single window per contact. + + + added msg log icon for status changes (global "user online" icon. + + + added multithreaded streaming. Now, all streaming is done by a separate thread + which frees the main thread from doing this. This can avoid a "frozen" main + thread and unresponsive ui when large amounts of data need to be streamed into + the message log window. + This is EXPERIMENTAL, it may cause other unexpected problems. + + * disabled UNDO functionality in the Rich Edit control (message log). It's not + needed (the control is read-only) and just wastes resources. + + + new icon set for the button bar. Contributed by a member from the Miranda + community. Very nice and colorful icons, the button bar looks a lot better + now :) + + * more tightly interoperration with smileyadd. tabSRMM now has its own smiley + button. You can also change smiley replacement "on the fly" and do no longer + need to restart miranda. The code will detect if smileyadd is available and + installed. Please DISABLE the button inserted by smileyadd under + Options->Events->Smileys unless you want the button appear twice :) The new + smiley button also solves the "focus lost" problem, now the input area + regains focus after inserting a smiley. + + * button bar icons are now loaded once at plugin startup. There is no need for + each tab having its own copy of the icons, since those icons are static and + never change during the "lifetime" of the plugin. + + * its now possible to disable the multithreaded streaming code in case you have + problems. It's enabled by default and you can disable it on Options->Messaging + You NEED TO RESTART miranda if you change this setting. + +Version 0.0.8.9 - 2004/09/24 + + + new "mIRC style" tab selection hotkeys. ALT-1 to ALT-0 will select the + corresponding tab. ALT-1 will select the leftmost (first) tab, and ALT-0 + the rightmost (last) tab. Maybe confusing if you have more tabs than + actually fit on a single row. + + + added a few pixels of padding "inside" the message log so that characters + won't touch the inner border of the rich edit control anymore. + + * container system menu: rearranged menu items so that close will always be + at the bottom of the menu (hinted by OnO). + + * new option on the message log page: Use Arrow icons: This will replace the + message icons in front of each message with small arrows showing the direction. + A green arrow marks outgoing, and a red arrow incoming events. + + * experimental fix for highlighting issues when using individual background + colors. Trailing lines are now removed from the message if they are empty. + It's still possible to have empty lines within a message, but if the last + line of the message body is *completely* empty, it will be removed. + + This solves the problem which occured with individual background colors + where those empty lines were actually drawn with the default background + color (very ugly). + + You need to activate this explicitely on the "Message Log Options" page. + + * avatar changes: It's now again possible to choose an avatar from the message + window if you do not have mTooltip installed. Just click the picture menu + button (left of the history button) and choose "Load a local picture as avatar". + Note that the avatar section must be visible (toggle it on before), otherwise + the menu item will be greyed out. Selecting the avatar from the message window + will also write the picture to the mTooltip setting (if available), so you + don't have to change the picture twice if you're using mTooltip plugin. + + * fixed CTRL-backspace. If there are more lines than the input box can actually + display w/o scrolling, ctrl-backspace was always setting the cursor to the + start of the text. Now, the cursor is always placed at the end. + + * changed MSN avatar code. Now, a single event hook cares about all sessions. This + should avoid performance problems on slower machines with lots of MSN sessions + opened. + +Version 0.0.8.8 - 2004/09/21 + + ! fixed a few layout issues with multisend clist not updating correctly + + + added support for the new avatar notifications of the MSN protocol. This + will require very recent builds of MSN and Miranda. Avatars are now up- + dated in "real time" whenever they change. + +Version 0.0.8.7 - 2004/09/19 + + * new icon code for showing message log icons. It uses code from smileyadd + to insert icons as ole objects so they can use the "proper" background color + if you're using different colors for incoming and outgoing messages. + + * message input area has now a "static edge" instead of the frame. Looks better + and matches the border style of the message log (also a static edge type). + +Version 0.0.8.6 - 2004/09/17 + + ! fixed bug with autoswitch tabs and tabs created in the background (they + didn't flash after autoswitching to another tab). + + ! layout changes. It's now possible to hide all tab control borders if + multiple tabs are opened by setting the value for "Tab control border" + to zero (Message tabs options page). + If only one tab is open and you have configured tabSRMM to hide the tab + bar, then no borders will be visible as well. + +Version 0.0.8.5 - 2004/09/16 + + + added individual background colors for incoming and outgoing messages. Set + the colors under Options>Message Sessions->Message log and activate the + option. You can also activate the "grid" which will show grid-like lines + between the messages. The grid uses the default background color. + + Known issues with this feature: a)Smileys are rendered with the default bg + color, because smileyadd cannot know about the new colors (it assumes that + the message log window has only one background color). Workaround: don't use + high contrast colors between the default and the individual colors. For + example, use a light grey as default color and a light blue/red for + the individual colors. + b) Icons break the background color stuff. No idea why and how to fix it + so if you care then don't use icons and the individual bg colors at + the same time. + + * changed buddypounce interoperability. Now, tabSRMM does no longer add the + messages to the history. Instead you get a notification about the message + being sent to buddypounce for later delivery. Buddypounce adds them to the + database when it actually sends them. + +Version 0.0.8.4 - 2004/09/14 + + * changed avatar code. + + + new mouse "gesture". Double click the button bar while holding the left ALT key + to show/hide the button bar and its controls. This is only temporary and will + not affect the global options under Message Sessions->Messaging. It will also + not be saved anywhere. + + + dividers can now use the popup configuration (basically, this wil dividers + make appear in tabs which would also trigger a event notification popup, + based on the containers popup configuration mode). + + + avatars are now updated in "real time" when you change the picture on the + photo page. + +Version 0.0.8.3 - 2004/09/13 + + + added a "send later" button to the error dialog which appears when a message + send fails. Clicking it will hand over the message to the buddy pounce + plugin for later delivery. Obviously, this feature requires the Buddy + Pounce plugin to be installed, otherwise the button will be inaccessible. + + + added new option -> "use contact list group names for organizing containers" + You can find this option on the Container options page under Options->Message Sessions. + If this option is enabled, tabSRMM automatically assigns contacts according to + the group in which they are. Containers with the name of the group are created + automatically if needed. Contacts which are not in any group will be opened in + the default container. + + Also note that, if this option is enabled, the options to attach contacts manually + are disabled, so you cannot change the container assignments until you disable + the option again. + + Using this option will NOT overwrite assignments you have created manually. + +Version 0.0.8.2 - 2004/09/11 + + * moved all option pages to a new group. "Message Sessions". + + * the options concerning auto creation of tabs are now disabled if the "auto + popup" feature is checked.

Allows you to send a message to all tabs within + the current container. + Just type /all message and the message will be sent to everyone in the current + container. + + WARNING: Depending on the IM network and their terms of use, this might be + considered as some kind of mass-messaging. Some networks may disconnect you or + even ban your account for some time in that case. I suggest that you do not + use this feature with a lot of contacts opened. + + + container transparency added. + + + container option dialog added. Most container settings are now saved on a "per- + container" base. This includes settings for: titlebar on/off, hide tabs when only + one tab is presend, flashing mode, sticky (stay on top) and the service report + facility. + + There are still settings in the Prefrences page, but these will only affect new + containers. + + * redesigned the option pages. There are now 2 pages - "Message tabs" for the + general options and "Message Containers" for the container-specific settings. + The old option page was getting too messy... + + + added new feature: deferred timeout error handling. + To use this feature, the following things must be present: + + * popup/popup Plus plugin must be active. + * popups must not be disabled. + * the option must be activated under Options>Message tabs>use popups for timeout errors + messages. + + This is how it works: If the tab in which the error occurs is not active, then it + will NOT show the error dialog box. Instead, it will display a red popup and change the + tab icon to a red "X". The popup will show the error text reported by the protocol + and the icon will stay until you activate the tab. + + ! fixed: options were only available with "expert mode settings" enabled. + + * changed context menu. Removed the additional entrys from the right-click menu in the + message log. Now, the tab-context menu includes them. + + + The tab-context menu is now also available by right-clicking the button bar. + + + implemented rename/delete containers. + + + added shortcut: Ctrl-W -> closes the active tab. + + + added icon flashing for tabs created in the background. + + * use contacts local time is now a per-contact setting. It is available from the new + "message log options" menu which you can reach by clicking the button. + + * changed most of the message log options to "per contact" settings. You WILL most + likely need to reconfigure the defaults under Options->Messaging log (only applies + to yes/no switches, all font settings are still global and will remain so). + + There is a new button which opens a pulldown menu when clicked. Basically, all + these settings can now be saved on a "per contact" basis. If you don't like it this + way, you can tick the option "Ignore per-contact settings under Options->Message tabs. + + - removed the RTL button. The switch can now be found in the newly introduced + "Message log options" menu. + + ! made "autosave msg" unicode aware. Note that, the unicode version of tabSRMM uses + a different way to store the message. This means, that you will not see what you have + saved with the non-unicode version and vice versa. + + ! fixed quoting for unicode. + + ! fixed bug with container options dialog not showing when container was minimized to + the taskbar. + + * made the /all command unicode-aware + + * fixed container delete/rename functions for the unicode version + + * allow for gloabl splitter position (check the message log options menu) + + + new container setting system added. Container names are now fully unicode-aware. + The unicode version uses different places to store its setting, so it will not + collide with settings written by the non-unicode version. + + * more changes for "per-contact" message log options. + + + new option: it is now possible to have containers created minimized, if you also + have the option "Auto create tab on event" activated. Just check "Also create + container, but do not activate it". + + ! attempt to fix the ALT-S problem. The new layout does no longer allow for trans- + lating the "Send" button. Since this is a picture button anyway and does not + display any text, this solution should be fine. + + * better visual cues for typing notification. If minimized or in the background, + the container now changes its title to show who is actually typing. + The "stuck" titlebar icon should no longer occur. + + * internal layouting changes. new option to set left and right borders between window + border and the tab control. Set this to zero if you want the smallest possible border. + + + added a "close container" entry to the tab-context menu to make closing a container + easier if title bar is hidden (remember, the tab-context menu is also available by + right-clicking the button bar). + + ! fixed easydrag - window should no longer detach from the mouse pointer while left button + is still down. + + + ability to hide statusbar. This is a global setting available from Options->Message tabs, + but you can override it on a per-contact base from the message log options menu. + + + New submenu added to the tab context menu. It contains a list of all available + containers so you can quickly attach a message tab without using the container attach + dialog. + + ! fixed the "warn on close" feature for containers. It was possible to force more than + one warning message dialog. + + - removed old message layout. + + * New layout option: "Multisend CLIST splits message history only" + If enabled, the embedded contact list will only take horizontal + space from the message history window. Everything else will retain its full width. + + * tabSRMM is now a "conversion style only" message module. The old single send/read + modes have been disabled. + + * The "Warn on close tab" feature does no longer ask if you exit miranda with + message windows opened. + + * double-clicking the empty space on the button bar will now minimize the container. + Holding CTRL while double-clicking will close the container and holding down SHIFT + will toggle the titlebar. + + ! fixed bug - double clicking an inactive tab caused problems when more than a single + row of tabs was shown in the control. + + + added: "enable popups if unfocused". A new "per container" setting which will basically + do the same as "enable popups if minimized" but extend this to containers which are + only sent to the background but may still be visible on screen (at least, partially). + + * if status bar is hidden, typing notify will change the tab icon on the active tab as + well. + + + implemented a way to log and display status changes in the message window. You can + enable this globally under Options->Messaging log. There is however an option to override + the setting on a per-contact basis. Choose "Never log status changes" from the message + log options menu to disable it for a contact. You may NEED to disable it for RSS + contacts, because the status change events, if logged to the history, may confuse + the RSS plugin. + + * the bottom limit for the horizontal splitter now takes into account whether the status + bar is hidden or not. + + + two new hotkeys added: alt-left and alt-right for easy tab switching + + * changed ESC to "minimize container". Use the more stadardized CTRL-W or CTRL-F4 + shortcuts for closing tabs or ALT-F4 to close the entire container. + + * added one more option for even more popup configuration. Please read POPUPS.TXT + for more information on this topic. it's getting complex :) + + + added "input history". You probably know this from irc clients like mIRC. Basically, + the input line remembers the last n messages you sent (where n can be configured in + the options). By pressing CTRL-Arrow Up or CTRL-Arrow Down you can scroll through + the stored messages quickly. + + * improved the input history: + 1) cursor is always at the end of the recalled message. + 2) the input history now saves the contents of the input area (if any) when replacing + it with an entry from the history. Scrolling down "past" the end of the history + will restore the previously saved content. + + + added "single row tab control" to the container settings. + + * made "close on esc" optional for those who don't like the newly introduced ESC + behaviour (minimize). + + * changed closing behaviour. This should fix an ugly "crash on close container" in + some (although very rare) situations. + + * changed the message-log scrolling hotkeys. It should no longer be possible to scroll + past the end of the log. + + + it is now possible to have different background colors for the message log and the + message input area. + + + added the "global search hotkeys" CTRL-SHIFT-U and CTRL-SHIFT-R. They are working + exactly like CTRL-U/CTRL-R, except that they search all open containers for unread + events. + If, for some reason, you cannot use those hotkey, because another applictaion needs + the keyboard shortcuts, you can configure the modifier keys under Options->message tabs. + Available choices are: + CTRL-SHIFT (default) + CTRL-ALT + SHIFT-ALT + + + added SHIFT-RETURN as another shortcut for sending a message. + + + Dividers added. When active, they will draw a small horizontal line above the first + unread event in an inactive (unfocused) message session. Those lines are a visual cue + to help you finding messages which have been received while you were absent more + easily. Activating the window will cause a new divider to appear the next time you + put the window into the background (but only, if an event arrives while the window + is in the background or minimized). + + Dividers look best if you choose a small font (maybe 4 pixel) for them. There is a new + font setting under Options->Message log for the divider available. Just change the + default value to make dividers use less space. Note that dividers are not stored + permanently. They will go away whenever the log is rebuilt (i.e. when you apply new + options ore when you close and open the tab). + + + autoswitch tab feature added. If enabled, minimized containers may automatically + switch to a tab whenever a new event arrives. + + + added support to compile and link tabSRMM with GCC using MINGW32. Use MAKEFILE.W32 + for compiling the unicode version, and MAKEFILE.W32.ANSI for the non-unicode version. + I also added a project file for Dev-CPP. + Tested with very recent versions of MINGW32 (GCC 3.4.1) + + + moved project to sourceforge. + + Version 0.0.6 - 2004/08/13 + -------------------------- + + + minimize window on exit is now working (of course, it minimizes the entire + container). + + ! fixed more focus issues (damn, this Win32 dialog manager does suck) + + + implemented a basic system to determine the minimum required window size + for the container (internal stuff, but will be required later). + + ! prevent the horizontal splitter from having a position "outside" of the + window after restoring a maximized window. + + * cosmetical changes for the new window layout + + * changed the code for "always scroll log to bottom" again. Should work better + (and faster) now. + + This works far more "intelligent" than before. A tab will remember its scroll + position in the log while you switch to another tab. It will however automatically + scroll the log to the bottom under the following conditions: + * a message arrived + * the container size changed while the tab was inactive + * you move the splitter + + ! fixed some issues when closing tabs. + + + merged mod#32 from srmm_mod. show history (old) events with different fonts/colors. + + * changed user picture layout. The picture is now allowed to use the vertical space + of the button bar. This will save some vertical space for the message log if the + picture is shown. + + + new option: Show full UIN on the button bar. This defaults to enabled and if you + disable it, you will get the old usermenu button instead of the larger button + showing the full UIN. If you disable this option, you will gain some space on + the button bar. The full UIN is then set as a tooltip for the usermenu button. + + At the moment, this is a global setting affecting all tabs, it will be a + "per - contact" option in the future. It is only in effect for the new window + layout. + It also doesn't dynamically update while the tab is open and only affects newly + created tabs (yet). + + ! fixed glitch with autolocale. Even when deactivating it, it wasn't really 100% + inactive. + + ! (hopefully) fixed another Win98 - specific crash (closing the last tab). + + + new option: "Enable popups if container is minimized". If this is enabled, the + container will not report open message tabs while minimized. "Service enabled" + popup plugins like my modified version of NewEventNotify or Bi0s TypingNotify + will then think that there is no message window open and display their popup + notifications. + + Enable this, if you want notifications while the container is minimized to the + statusbar. + + ! fixed flickering on save button while typing. + + + multiple container support added. Basically you can now have as much containers + as you want. You can assign contacts to a new container by richt-clicking either + the tab of the contact or in the message area of the active tab. A dialog box + will appear allowing you to select one of the already existing container + definitions. You can also create a new container if you want. + The container "default" gets some special treatment: It acts as the container + in which all unassigned contacts will open their tabs. + + The UI will be improved a bit, but don't expect too much. I will definately + NOT add drag'n drop support for re-arranging tabs, because it would be quite + hard to implement and not worth the effort. There are better and more important + things to do. + + ! fixed a few layout issues on the button bar (unequal spacing). + + * flashing tab icons will now show the eventtype (file, url, message). + + * changed "easy drag" implementation. + + ! restored msg could overwrite initial text (used by, for example, http share + file plugin). fixed. Now, the initial text passed to the message tab at creation + will *always* overwrite any saved msg. + + - removed hotkey ctrl-h (for history). It was redundant anyway, because history is + available via Alt-H. + + + added mod#11 from srmm_mod (message input area accept dropped files) + + + some container options (stay on top, dont report if minimized, no titlebar) are now + saved on a "per container" basis. The settings on the option page are now used as + default values for new containers. + +Version 0.0.5b - 2004/08/13 + + + 2 new options: + * flash always - continously flash the container until activated. + (doesn't currently work with the "autocreate tabs" feature). + * Never flash - disable window flashing (tab icons will still flash) + + ! fixed auto-save on exit. Saved msg now goes away if you close the + container when the message input area is empty. + + ! fixed: new layout picture-dependent splitter calculations could confuse + splitter settings when switching to old layout. + + * a few internal changes (resizing, tab item handling...) always check return + value from GetTabIndexFromHWND() + + ! fixed focus & tab handling. Re-enabled Alt-Hotkeys inside the dialog. + + + new icons for the RTL and userpic button. Thanks to kreisquadratur + (author of the original srmm_mod) + + * more "new" layout changes. Smaller borders, especially the right one. Items + are now better aligned. + + + merged "use contacts local time" from srmm_mod. If enabled, the message log + will show the local time of your contact instead of your own time. This does, + of course, require that a contact has a properly configured timezone in + his profile. + +Version 0.0.5 - 2004/08/10 + + + added autolocale support. You need to enable this under Options->Tabbed Messaging. + How it works: It remembers the input locale setting for each contact. Just set + the desired keyboard layout (either via hotkey or via the language bar) and the + statusbar should show a message saying that the locale has been saved. + tabSRMM will then switch locale whenever you activate or open a tab for this + contact again. + + If you open a message window for a contact which does not yet have a locale + information saved to its db record, tabSRMM will save the current input locale + as the standard for this contact. + + NOTE: DONT use the autolocale plugin with tabSRMM. Since both plugins will then + try to modify locale settings, strange things could happen :) + + ! fixed small display problem with the multisend button and the new window + layout. + + ! fixed a few issues with "autocreate tabs" feature. They now only show up if the + container is already open and don't steal focus on the active tab any longer. + They also properly open in the background and do no longer confuse the layout + of the tab bar when more than a single row of tabs is needed. + + ! fixed compatibility issue with Window 98/ME which was introduced in 0.0.4a + + * another attempt to fix the "log not always scrolling to the bottom" issue. + + * minor layout changes for the "new layout" - the horizontal splitter now has + a static edge which makes it easier to spot. + Removing the buttons and the info text will narrow down the splitter. + + + added small margins to the rich edit control (message log). + + ! Restoring the window position should now always work. New database keys are + used, so the first time using this release the container will popup at the + default position with the default size. + + + new hotkeys: + CTRL-U activate the first tab with unread messages (flashing icon) + CTRL-R activate the tab with the most recent unread event. + + ! fixed crash when changing icon sets (recreating the image list). + + * In order to free up some space on the button bar, I removed the "userinfo" + button. Instead, you can click the protocol icon to bring up the dialog + with contact information. This only applies to the new window layout. + + + new option: hide tab bar when only one tab is open. + + * resizing now causes less flicker than before. + + + Resurrected the quote button. Only for the new window layout though. + + + Ability to save typed message on close window. Works automagically, no + need to configure anything. + + * more layout changes for the "new" window layout. The usermenu-button is + gone. Instead of this button, I made the username field clickable. + + * several cleanups in the code and resource file. .DLL filesize -= 14k :) + + ! fixed some redraw/resizing issues when using the classic windows theme. + + + user picture support added. This works only with the new message window + layout and at the moment it can only display locally stored user pictures. + The code was merged from srmm_mod with only minor modifications. + +Version 0.0.4a - 2004/08/07 + + ! fixed critical (crash) bug with error dialogs after message timeout. + + ! fixed tab titles not updating when the option "show status text on + tabs" was disabled. + + ! CTRL-L (clear message log) was missing, even it was mentioned in the changelog. + + ! attempt to fix a possible crash-on-send bug. + + ! fixed crash on forwarding messages (hope so). + + + added tab icons for typing notification (if tab is not active, tab icon will + change and show typing status) - THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS, typing notification + still does not work as it should. + + + merged UNICODE fix by ghazan (possible crash with link handling) + + ! fixed internal window closing issues when only one tab was active (possible + crash). + + * tooltips now also display the status text + + * all hotkeys changed again. They are now working with CTRL-SHIFT excluivly. + The hotkeys for scrolling the log can be enabled/disabled on the options page + for those who prefer having advanced editing features in the input box. + + + new hotkey: CTRL-F4 -> close active tab. + + * essential hokeys (ctrl-tab, ctrl-f4) now also work while the message input + area is "greyed". + + + added "double click closes tab" feature. + + + added "no title bar mode" (switch from window menu - doubleclick the border + to get the titlebar back). There is also an option to make it permanent for + newly created tab containers. + If the titlebar is off, you can still drag the window by using the small border + at the top or the right of the container window. + + ! hopefully fixed the issue which caused the icons for specific protocols not + to load on startup. + + + new option: vertical tab padding. You can specify the vertical padding (in pixel) + on the tabs. The value largely depends on the icon sets you're using - if you + use some larger icons, you may want to increase the default value of 3 in + order to avoid clipping on the icons. If you tend to use small icons, you + can reduce this value to 2 or even 1 pixels, making the tabs using less vertical + space. + + + new option: short caption on containers. when active, only the nickname is shown + in the titlebar, otherwise nickname and statustext are shown. + + + new feature: auto create tabs. Works similar to "auto popup window on receive" + but the new tab is created in the background and the container window does not + popup if it was minimized to the taskbar (instead it flashes if a new tab was + created). You can still make the container "auto popup" if you want - the option + is just below the "auto create tabs" setting. + + ! fixed "no titlebar mode" for classic (non themed) windows style. Window didn't + update correctly after removing/adding the titlebar. + + * a few minor resizing and geometry changes + + + new message dialog layout (optionally, you have to enable it under Options-> + tabbed messaging). This is work in progress and not fully implemented. There + will be an option for showing a user picture and more. + +This is the third alpha release. It contains bug fixes and a few new features. + +Version 0.0.3c - 2004/08/02 +--------------------------- + + + basic support for status icons on the tabs. This feature was contributed + by perf who asked me if I could need some help with development. + + Currently, it uses the "global" status icons and not all icons do actually + look nicely on the tabs (some highcolor icons look seriously "broken"). + + This feature will be developed further so we will hopefully have full protocol + icon support in the future. + + * some resizing changes. Also contributed by perf. + + * changed the way hotkeys work. The old system was causing troubles. At the + moment, hotkeys do only work while the message input area has the focus. + Should not be a problem, because this is the case most of the time. + + the following hotkeys are currently implemented: + + * CTRL-TAB -> next tab (cycle if last was selected) + * CTRL+SHIFT-TAB -> previous tab (cycle if leftmost was selected) + * CTRL-H display history + + Message log scrolling hotkeys: + ------------------------------ + * CTRL-SHIFT-Arrow UP: scroll up in history + * CTRL-SHIFT-Arrow-Down: scroll down history + * CTRL-SHIFT-PageDown: scroll down faster + * CTRL-SHIFT-PageUp: scroll up faster + * CTRL-SHIFT-HOME: scroll to top of log + * CTRL-SHIFT-END: scroll to bottom of log + + * CTRL-L: clear log (same as context menu entry) + + * in case of a send error (timeout, protocol offline and so on), the message + dialog was never re-enabled again after the user clicked on "try again" or + cancel button in the error dialog. This bug caused the message window to + hang and the only way to get rid of it was to close the container. Fixed. + + * when resizing, the message log scrolls to the bottom so that the last few + lines shouldn't disappear any longer. + + ! attempt to fix the problem which is caused by wrong container geometry + information saved to the database. + If you get the message "Invalid geometry information found. Applying default values" + more than once, please let me know. + + + context menu added to the tabs. Only a few options at the moment, but more + to come... + + * tabSRMM related options moved to their own option page. It's under + Options->Tabbed Messaging. + + + Ability to cut the length of the nicknames displayed on tabs. This should + prevent some extraordinary wide tabs for really long nicknames. Optionally, + a tooltip can be set for the tab, showing the full nickname. + + + Option to select wheter protocol status should be shown on tabs in plain + text format. If disabled, only the nickname will be shown, making the + tabs even smaller. + + ! activating the embedded contact list (multisend button) didn't properly work + if the container was maximized. Fixed. + + ! fixed focus handling. Container passes the enter key (IDOK command) to the + active child, thus re-enabling the "TAB -> ENTER" sequence for sending + messages again. + + + new option - show timestamp after nickname: If the message log is set to + display both the timestamp and the nickname, then the order in which they + appear can be set here. + + * changed window flashing code. should work better now. + + ! when sending a message by hitting ENTER while the send button had the + focus, the focus did remain on the send button. fixed. (for those who + prefer the TAB-ENTER sequence). + + ! fixed several issues with closing tabs by using the context menu. + + + NewEventNotify now works with tabSRMM. You HAVE to use the supplied DLL + in order to make it work with tabbed message sessions. Just replace + your existing NewEventNotify.DLL with the one provided in the tabSRMM + package. + + + FULL status icon support implemented. Made the imagelist global (shared + by all containers), load all icons at plugin initialisation (should speed + up the creation of new containers) + + Version 0.0.2 - 2004/07/26 +--------------------------- + + * statusbar does no longer have a size grip (SBARS_SIZEGRIP removed) + NOTE: only for tabs, toplevel msg dialogs will get it when they are back. + + + settings only used by tabSRMM moved to a new key in the database. The plugin + will continue to share common settings with SRMM (fonts, colors etc..) + + ! "Cascade new windows" caused display errors with newly created tabs if + the container already had one or more tab opened in it. Fixed. + + ! The plugin is now statically linked against msvcr71.dll and therefore + should no longer complain about this dll missing. + + ! saving geometry information about the container could sometimes lead to + unexpected results which could cause problems while trying to restore + the geometry the next time the container was created. + + * thinner outer border. Did look ugly with lower screen resolutions. + + ! when a contact changed its status and its tab was not the active one, + the window title was still updated and therefore didn't any longer + show the name of the _active_ tab. + + ! minor cosmetical fixes with send button alignment. + + + It is now possible to have miranda ask if you really want to close a + tab. Warning is diabled by default, you can turn it on via Options->Messaging. + + + Some hotkey support added: + + 1. ESC = close current tab (was always there) + 2. CTRL+SHIFT+TAB -> select previos tab + 3. CTRL+TAB -> select next tab. + + Both options are set to wrap around if you have either the leftmost or rightmost + tab selected. + + 4. CTRL+H -> show history + 5. CTRL+ALT+ARROW UP -> move the focus to the message log (use page up/down for scrolling) + 6. CTRL+ALT+ARROW DOWN -> move focus to the message input area. + + + merged the RTL support from srmm_mod originally written by kreisquadratur + + ! workaround for some strange splitter issues. The vertical multisend splitter + is re-enabled again. + + ! fixed a few resizing issues when restoring the window from maximized state. + + ! display / refreshing errors after forwarding a message should be fixed. + + + added a new menu item to the system (window) menu: Stay on top (make the + container "sticky"). + + + added a UNICODE build which is, however, completely untested.

Overview +----------- + +tabSRMM is an advanced messaging module for Miranda IM (version 0.9.x or later +required). It adds many new options and features to make instant messaging more +enjoyable and allows you to tweak almost every aspect of the message window to +fit your needs. + +2. Some features: +----------------- + +* "tabbed messaging". All message dialog windows are now opened within a "container" + window. A simple tab bar can be used to switch between the message windows. + Currently, there is only one container and no way to make one or more message + windows "top level". You can define as many container windows as you want and + assign your contacts to different containers. This allows you to organize your + chat sessions in many different ways. + + If you dislike a tabbed interface for chatting, you can also configure a "single + window mode" in which each session is opened in a separate window. + +* Lots of options to tweak the look of your message log. + +* Works with the external IEView plugin to give you a fully customizable message log + using HTML templates and CSS. + +* Avatar support - both contacts and own avatars can be shown in the message dialog. + +* message templates for the message history in the chat window. You can freely define + how messages will look like by using a powerful system of variables and templates. + +* built-in event notification system can announce messages and other events by using + popups, system tray tooltips or On Screen Displa (announcing via poups or on screen + display requires additional plugins). + +* WYSIWYG text editing in the message input box. Formatted text can be parsed to + either BBCodes or simple */_ style formatting tags. + +* many features which make chatting more user friendly and easier. Some examples. + + * auto-select-and-copy: Selecting text in the message log history will automatically + copy it to the clipboard. Holding down the ctrl key while selecting text will + insert the selection in the edit box immediatly. + + * simplified mousewheel handling. No need to change the focus if you want to scroll + the history log. Just move the mouse pointer over it and use the wheel. + + * Many hotkeys. Almost everything can be done without using the mouse. + + * option to minimize chat windows to the tray so they won't clutter your taskbar. + A session list is available which can be used to access chat windows which have + been minimized to the system tray. + +* A "favorite contact" list which can be used to access favorite contacts quickly. + (Win 2000 or later). + +* Remembers the last 15 active sessions in a menu (Win 2000 or later). + +* System tray support. + +* integrated group chat module, based on chat.dll but merged into tabSRMM to give + users a unified user interface for both IM and group chats (i.e. IRC channels). + +3.
