From f920ef497f3299ae24fe783ce03bdd93b419f764 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Volinsky Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 22:02:50 +0000 Subject: plugins folders renaming git-svn-id: http://svn.miranda-ng.org/main/trunk@60 1316c22d-e87f-b044-9b9b-93d7a3e3ba9c --- plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG | 1109 ------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 1109 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG (limited to 'plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG') diff --git a/plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG b/plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG deleted file mode 100644 index dd718ce84f..0000000000 --- a/plugins/clist_nicer/docs/CHANGELOG +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1109 +0,0 @@ - - Changelog: - --------- - -! = bugfix -* = changed feature -+ = new feature -- = removed - -0.9.0.2 - 2009/07/20 - * It is now possible to use the real location-based timezones set - by UserInfoEx.

Added makefile(s) and project - files. - - + option added to allow clist being shown on task bar, under the following - circumstances: - - a) Window style is set to "title bar" (ordinary Window like any other, - not border- or frameless). - b) Option "Always hide on task bar" (Options->Contact List-> Window) is - DISABLED. This option is enabled by default. - - Does not work with skinned contact list, only when using a default windows - theme. - - * corrected some visual glitches in various option dialogs. - -0.8.0.2 - 2007/10/20 - - * advanced option to save position while moving or resizing (old behaviour) - Use DBEditor++ and set CLUI/save_pos_always (BYTE value) to 1. RESTART - MIRANDA thereafter (the setting is only read at plugin startup). - Deleting the value or set it to 0 to disable it (save position/size only - when Miranda exits). - - * new option for floating contacts (Fill with contact list background color). - If enabled, floaters will be filled with this color before drawing the skin - item. This allows people who don't use a skin at all to show the floaters w/o - having them fully transparent. - -0.8.0.1 - 2007/10/02 - - * removed all hardcoded instances of the MetaContacts protocol name - -0.8.0.0 - 2007/10/02 - - * released for Miranda 0.7.

All the - options on Options->Contact List->Floating contacts are now working and a few - new features (transparency, snapping) have been added. - - * reworked options. Display profiles is now where you can set most things for - the contact layout. Right now, only one profile () is available, but - in the future, there will be the possibility to configure multiple profiles for - quickly changing display options. - -0.7.1.1 - 2007/01/25 - - * more options for per contact display settings. - - * the font colors for selected and hottracked skin items are no longer ignored. - - * removed internal font configuration dialog. Customize->Fonts is now where fonts - and colors can be configured for NON-SKINNED MODE ONLY. Otherwise, settings from - Customize->Contact List skin->Skin items are used. - -0.7.1.0 - 2007/01/20 - - * removed old icon code. From now on, clist_nicer requires IcoLib services, either - via IcoLib plugin or by using Miranda 0.7.x build. - - * added new option to auto-apply last active view mode when the contact list - starts (Options->Contact List) - - * Removed the "Priority Contact" menu item. This can now be found in the new - "Contact settings" dialog which is an improved version of the old "Visibility and - Ignore" dialog. It allows to set various other options "per contact" (e.g. avatar - display override/disable, 2nd line of text display option etc.). - -0.7.0.x - see SVN for changes. Mostly bugfixes, no new features. - -0.6.0.7 - 2006/03/xx - - * added 2 items to the view mode menu, allowing to: - 1) setup view modes - 2) clear the current view mode - - * fixed another frame ordering bug. - -0.6.0.6 - 2006/02/28 - - * fixed possible crash on exit bug. - - * fixed auth requests not appearing on the tray & event area - - * improved performance for "sort by last message" - event timestamps are only - retrieved when actually needed. - - * Various CLUIframes tweaks and fixes to get rid of some annoying problems with - frame re-ordering after deleting or installing frame-aware plugins. - -0.6.0.5 - 2006/01/30 - - * groups now have their own alignment option. - * Always left - * Always right - * Automatic (in that case, RTL detection will determine whether the group name will - be right or left aligned). - - ! fixed hit-testing for right-aligned groups (you can now click on the expand/collapse - icon even if it is aligned to the right). - - * sort by last message works "dynamically" now (when new messages or events arrive, - the contact list will update its sorting). - - + started floating contacts implementation. Quite big changes, will take a while until - it is usable. - -0.6.0.4 - 2006/01/27 - - ! The option "If window is partially covered..." should no longer affect the - minimize/maximize feature when the visual style in use has a rounded window frame. - - ! more docking tweaks (still possible minor visual glitches) - - * tweaked RTL detection for group names and completely disabled RTL for the non- - unicode build. - - ! fixed long standing CLUIframes bug - Position up/down is now working for all top - or bottom aligned frames, so re-arranging frames shouldn't be longer a problem. - -0.6.0.3 - 2006/01/27 - - * fixed possible memory allocation - related crash on startup. - -0.6.0.2 - 2006/01/27 - - * still bugfixing phase. Some troubles with autosizing were fixed. - - fix: sticky taskbar button when there shouldn't be one (e.g. borderless mode) - restored the old way of skinning the clist with the desktop wallpaper (the - option "Use these settings to skin the entire background" now works like it did - in older builds). - - * added "priority contacts" - you can toggle a priority contact in the contact menu - (right click). A priority contact will always be on top of the list or its group - and override the normal sorting order. If there are multiple priority contacts - per group, then they will be sorted according to the normal contact list sorting, - but will still all stay on top of the group. - - * added multilevel sorting. Up to 3 levels of sorting can be selected to sort the clist. - There are 4 available sorting criterias, as following: - - * name - * protocol - * status - * last message received - - The feature works similar to the sorting in clist_modern. It respects the setting "Do - not separate offline contacts" and will also take priority contacts into account. - - * improved docking. Should now work again, but the clist must have one of the following - frame styles: - - * tool window - * thin border - * no border. - - With the default border/title bar, docking doesn't work (may or may be not fixed in the - future, but it doesn't matter much - most people prefer to dock the clist without any - title bar at all. - - * status floater fixed. In some cases, it appeared when it shouldn't (auto-hide was - "reversed"). Also, the event area on the status floater will now clear events when - the clist is hidden. - -0.6.0.00 - 2006 - - * from now on, clist_nicer+ is based on the new clist interface code which was - introduced in 0.4.3.x (nightly build #42). It is no longer compatible with older - versions of the miranda core and requires a recent core + database plugin. - We call this "post clist revolution", because the changes in the contact list api - were HUGE and required a lot of changes to all contact list plugins. - -0.5.1.17 - 2005/11/20 - - ! fixed a few minimize/maximize issues with various border styles. - Minimize now always follow the "miniemize to tray" setting - -0.5.1.16 - 2005/11/20 - - + added UNICODE_AWARE so that a unicode core will not reject the contact list. - -0.5.1.15 - 2005/11/05 - - ! toolbar icon bugs (introduced in .14) fixed. - - ! fixed flickering group header items when group skin items are set to be ignored. - - * GDI+ text rendering is disabled since the results were not satisfying. You can - still enable it if you want. - - Use dbeditor and create the following setting: - CLC/gdiplustext (BYTE value, set it to 1). - - + added per contact skin items. There is no UI for that (and there probably won't - come one). It can be done by editing a .ini style file which can be loaded when - at startup or during runtime (from the Background+ options page). - - See the included contacts.cln for description how per contact skinning works and - how to create your own personal .ini file. - - Note that per contact skinning should be considered an advanced and probably rarely - used feature. Future enahancements, like more advanced contact matching, are - possible, but I don't think I'll make an UI for it. - - * moved the invisible/visible icons to the right so they are now aligned with the - other extra icons. Looks better, also it makes much better text flow possible. If - the avatar is high enough to allow more than 2 lines of text, the 2nd row (status - message) will wrap and show with multiple lines (if needed). The text flows - around the icons so that the available space is used in the best possible way. - - + added ability to right align the entire contact list. This will just mirror the - entire display, so right becomes left and vice versa. - On the advanced options page you can specify when this should happen. - - + added new toolbarbutton. "Status menu" -> can be used to set and show the current - global status. - - + added option to set the border and titlebar type on Options->Contact List->Window. - 4 options are possible. - * Normal (normal title bar, window frame) - * Tool window (toolstyle titlebar, thinner window frame) - * Thin border (one pixel, black border) - * No border (nothing, no title bar, no window border). - - * BIG skinning changes. See the skinning.howto for more detail on how to use it. Along - with this, some options now have different effects. Particularly the "Rounded window" - and "Clip border by" options now only work when the clist is set to full transparency. - If you only want to remove the border - don't use the clipping anymore, use the new - "Border" option to set the title bar and border to "None". - - * several memory leaks fixed, optimized drawing performance. - - + smoother resizing in skinned and transparent mode - - + added a status floater (activate it in the contact lists context menu -> appearance. - The floater shows the same status as the global status mode button (most online - status mode) and the icon. The floater allows you to access: - - * the status menu (left click the icon) - * the main menu (right click the floater anywhere). - - The floater can be skinned by defining its skin item (Background+ page). It can be - transparent, have rounded corners and so on. You can drag the floater around with - the left mouse button, its size, however, is automatically calculated so that the - longest status mode text will "fit" on it. - You can also set the floater to auto hide (context menu->Appearance->Auto Hide - Floater) in which case it will only be visible when the contact list is minimized - or hidden. - And finally, the floater can show a copy of the event area. - - + changed RTL behaviour a bit. When rtl alignment is set to "Never", RTL text will - be printed left to right, that is, no RTL alignment will be made in any case and the - contact list will look like normal (left to right aligned) for all contacts. - A new option "RTL TEXT only" has been added to the alignment options which will, - when active, only align the text label, but not "mirror" the entire contact. - - RTL text is still autodetected, but the formatting depends on the setting of the - "Right align" combo box. - - + added UNICODE_AWARE flag so that the clist will load with new unicode cores - -0.5.1.14 - 2005/10/15 - - ! fixed misising status messages (rarely happening, but still possible) - - ! some skin items were ignoring margin settings (frame titles, event area). - - You can also specifiy the colors which will be used to draw the 3d border for the - "Raised" and "Sunken" border styles. - - ! corrected docking with active border clipping (no more gaps between the clist window - and the screen edge). - - * the import/export function now imports and exports more skin-related settings. - - * View Modes: new group entry -> Ungrouped contacts. Check if you want to include - ungrouped contacts in the current view mode. Uncheck it, if ungrouped contacts should - be filtered out. - - * cvs synced with clist_classic (minor translation fixes) - - ! fixed ugly tray tooltip on 9x systems (when using mTooltip) - - + added toolbar buttons for accessing the view mode functions (select, modify, clear). - Remember, you can configure the toolbar by right clicking on any toolbar button and - choosing the buttons you want to see from the button submenu. - - + added button skinning. There are 4 new items on the Background+ page. Toolbar buttons - pressed/not pressed and UI buttons pressed/not pressed. The first is only used for the - toolbar, the latter is used for all other buttons (the menu and status button at the - bottom and the buttons in the view mode frame). - Note that in order to get UI buttons skinned, you need to activate the "Set all - buttons to skinned mode" option on the Background+ page. Also, for best results, - enable the "Skin entire background" setting on the Background option page. - - With the two color boxes "3D border bright / dark" on the Background+ button you - can configure the colors for 3d highlighting of skin items (when the border style - is set to either "Raised" or "Sunken". - - * fixed small alignment bug (right aligned avatars and extra icons) - - * fixed several hittesting bugs for the extra icons when avatars are set to right - aligned. - - * fixed bug when creating subgroup (garbage groupnames appearing) (unicode version - only). - - + added separate row height value for group items (Options->Contact List->List). - - + improved performance - While connecting the protocols, the clist sorts and - redraws less frequently than normal. Also, some minor improvements in the painting - handler will skip things which don't need to be drawn more effectively. - - + added "drag on toolbar" - you can now drag the contact list window using any empty - space on the toolbar. Effectively, the toolbar behaves like a title bar now. - - * fixed group name display (alignments, unneeded ellipsis appearing, quicksearch with - centered group names). - - * put xstatus menu(s) directly as submenus below the the protocol menus. So they are - now available from the status bar menus aswell. - - + many improvements added for fist time users. Using clist_nicer+ with a fresh profile - now gives much better results. Frames are created properly, button bar is configured - to only show the most important buttons and more. - - ! fixed the long standing bug which sometimes made a scrollbar appear on the title - bar of the contact list frame. - - + improved and fixed fading - now fades the entire clist frame, including all subframes - smoothly, also works together with transparent contact lists of all sorts. - - + added RTL support - UNICODE version ONLY (sorry, won't make it into the non-unicode - build). - - This works automatically. When the contact list detects a nickname with hebrew or - arabic characters, it displays the nickname RTL formatted. Same happens for status - messages. On the "Advanced Options" page, you can set an option named "Reverse entire - contact display for RTL" - what it does is basically simple. For RTL contacts, the - entire layout of that contact will be flipped horizontally, that is, the icon appears - on the right side, the nickname is printed RTL and so on. It just "mirrors" the - contact display by using a mirrored device context. - - When editing a RTL nickname, you get a RTL aligned text edit box aswell. - - RTL also works for group names (again, automatically, no need for configuring anything). - - + the GDI+ renderer now produces better text output by using antialising and gamma - correction for much smoother text. However, this CAN BE SLOW and if you have a full - featured contact list, including avatars, extra icons, you may experience noticeable - performance drops when using the GDI+ option. The text output DOES look better, though. - You should only use it on fast systems. - - + added new toolbar buttons: - ) 3 view mode buttons (select, configure, clear) - ) button to open miranda main menu - - To configure visible buttons right click the button bar and select the buttons you wish - to see from the submenu. - -0.5.1.13 - 2005/10/15 - - * view modes which have been set to auto-expire won't expire as long as the mouse - pointer is over the contact list - - * added a debuggin message when the "Hidden" value of a contact is set to 1 (causing - the contact to be hidden on the clist). This is temporary and only to find out why - somtimes contacts are set to hidden. - -0.5.1.12 - 2005/10/15 - - ! fixed internal font dialog. - - ! fixed deleting last view mode from list creating "strange" view mode name. - - * contacts local time is now only shown when it actually differs from your own time- - zone to keep the clist "cleaner" (there is an option for this, so you can still have - local time display for all contacts with a valid time zone). - - * fixed: adding/removing subcontacts should now update the clist properly (still, make - sure you have the latest MetaContacts plugin installed as clist_nicer+ relies on - some of the newer features). - - ! fixed: last protocol did not appear in the skin configuration. - - ! fixed: hide per group wasn't working - - ! don't clip icon on the status button - only status text is clipped (when needed) - - ! fixed: redrawing issues when "Pin to desktop" is active. - - ! more redrawing issues with fading active etc.. - - ! fixed a few bugs with the menu bar - - ! fixed file dropping on contact list main window. - - * changed: View mode configuration. - - * Empty protocol or group selection boxes are now ignored. - * Stickies can use their own status modes (per contact). To configure stickies, - select the global status mode for sticky contacts using the status icons in - the "*** All Contacts ***" row. You can then change each status mode for - individual contacts. Remember that only checked contacts will be examined - by the sticky filter, unchecked contacts will follow the global ruleset. - - * moved ICQ custom status menu from the main menu to the status menu (patch by - nullbie - only works with recent ICQJ versions (alpha releases)). - - ! when multiple tray icons are visible and you have hidden one or more protocols - (MetaContacts for example), flashing has been corrected (no icon will flash if - the protocol causing the event has been hidden in the contact lists protocol order - configuration). - - + show xstatus icons on the status bar (optional, can be enabled/disabled on - Options->Contact List->Status bar - -0.5.1.11 - 2005/10/04 - beta and unicode build only. - - ! status message wasn't properly clipped when visibility icon active. - - * multiple tray icons now follow the protocol configuration (protocols which are - invisible in the status bar are now also invisible on the tray). - - * connecting icon(s) are now visible on the status button and in the tray. - - ! the row gap does no longer affect the minimum row height (the latter is enforced, - even with a row gap in effect) - - ! improved meta support. clist_nicer+ does no longer use the "Meta Contacts hidden - group hack", instead it detects subcontacts in another way. This needs a recent - version of the MC protocol (0.9.13.4 MINIMUM) and improves the behaviour with - server side contact lists, where the "hidden group hack" could cause strange - effects. - - + added mTooltips over statusbar panels showing protocol name + statusmode. Requires - a mToolTip plugin with service API (0.0.1.5 or later). Also, the tray tooltip has - been replaced with a mTooltip (if mTooltip with service api is present). This removes - the limitation of 127 characters for the tray tooltip which might be a problem when - lots of protocols are installed. - - * NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: - - * MS_CLIST_GETCONTACTDISPLAYNAME supports the GCDNF_UNICODE flag in lParam to get - the contact name as wide string (compatible with clist_classic). - - * MS_CLIST_SYSTRAY_NOTIFY supports a NIIF_INTERN_UNICODE flag in MIRANDASYSTRAYNOTIFY.dwInfoFlags. - If set, the service will treat all strings in the MIRANDASYSTRAYNOTIFY structure - as wide strings (you'll probably have to cast the pointers to avoid compiler - warnings). - - + added extra font setting for the event area. - - + Importing and exporting themes (.clist files) now also import or export all font settings, - background configuration and the contact list window config. - - + custom hittesting now allows to resize the clist window even when it does not have a visible - resizing border (e.g. when the border has been removed by TweakUI or the "Clip border" - option. - - + option to disable the tray icon tooltips when hovering the contact list tray icon(s) - (Options->Contact List) - - + added a first (and simple) versions of the "view modes" extension. A view mode is a - contact filter, currently based on protocol, group and status mode and allows for quick - filtering in the contact list. A new multiwindow frame has been added with a few buttons - to select and configure available view modes. - - + added option to scale the extra icons (Options->Contact List->Window->Extra icon size) - At the default value of 16 pixels (which is the default icon size), the icons won't be scaled. - You can scale them down to 8 and up to 20 pixels if you want (of course, at a loss of - quality - scaling small images like 16x16 icons won't give very beautiful results). - NOTE: status icons are not affected by icon scaling, only the "extra" (right aligned) - icons are (to save some space on the clist...) - - + ability to show contacts local time on the contact list. The following requirements must - be fulfilled: - - * a timezone needs to be present (either set by the protocol (ICQ only) or set as user - info using UserInfoEx or tabSRMMs per contact preferences dialog. - * contact list must be in dual row mode (either forced or by using avatars large enough - to make enough space for 2 lines of text). - * the option to show local time needs to be enabled (Options->Contact List->Advanced options, - where you set the dual row display options). - - NOTE: local timestamps are refreshed once per minute (which is enough and the time stamp - is formatted according to your regional language settings. - - a new font setting (Contact list local time) has been added to the font configuration - options. - - + added option: Contact List->Don't separate offline contacts (at the sorting options). - When enabled, offline contacts will be sorted together with contacts of other status mode(s). - This setting makes only real sense when using sort by protocol or by name. - Make sure to disable the "dividers" on the Options->Contact List->List page, or else - you'll get dividers when there shouldn't be any. - - ! fixed: the option "If window is partially covered, bring it to front instead of hiding it" - now works when window clipping (clip border and rounded window options) are enabled. - -0.5.1.10 - 2005/09/29 - beta and unicode build only. - - + new option: center status icons (Advanced option page, at the top). - Effect: status icons are vertically and horizontally centered within their - space. That works only when avatars are emabled. Use the "Always align icons and - text for missing avatars" option to get a consistent space for both avatars and - icons. This option also centers avatars horizontally within the available space - (that is, if the avatars width is less than its height). - - * restored old behaviour of the "Always align icon and text for missing avatars" - option. It now again allows an "empty" avatar space. - - ! fixed bug with subgroup indent - - ! fixed - main menu didn't always update when using menu bar. - - + ability to skin the status bar with a clist_nicer item. Eanble skinning on the status - bar option page and set up the skin item on the Background+ page. - - + ability to skin the toolbar background (skin item on the Background+ page). To - enable/disable a skinned toolbar, right click any toolbar button and select "skinned - toolbar". - - + added "per protocol" skin items. Enable it on the Background+ page and set the skin - items for each protocol. - - Protocol skin items have priority over status skin items, however, the text color is, by - default taken from the status skin item. So you can have per-protocol background - skins mixed with per-status text colors. If you don't want to mix, then check "Override - per status text colors, so that items with a valid "per protocol" skin will not use the - per status text color. - - For metacontacts: Unless the "Ignore all subcontact states" option is checked, - metacontacts will be skinned according to their "real" protocol. Otherwise, you can define - a protocol skin for the MetaContacts protocol. - - ! "sort by proto" now uses the protocol order defined under Options->protocols. It also - properly sorts metacontacts according to their active subcontact (unless, the "Ignore all - subcontact states" option is checked. - - + added the ability to show the "connecting" status for each protocol using a special icon - for the status bar panel of that protocol. The icon is visible while the connection is - "in progress". - If you are using IcoLib, you can configure one connecting icon for each installed protocol, - otherwise it is global and cannot be changed (unless, you edit the DLL). - - ! fixed all option pages so that the "Apply" button isn't enabled when the dialog opens. - - + support for the GCDNF_UNICODE flag added to the MS_CLIST_GETCONTACTDISPLAYNAME service. - If this flag is set in the lParam, the service returns a widestring contact name. - (Unicode build only). - - * the setting to configure the minimum row height has been moved away from the font - configuration page and is now on the "List" page, because clist_nicer hides the font - configuration page when the font service plugin is available. - -0.5.1.9 - 2005/09/22 - - * Non-Unicode build should now again work with Miranda 0.4.0.1. - - * status bar doesn't look weird when "Make sections equal width" is unchecked - - * many internal code robustness updates - - + merged one critical unicode / group related bugfix from clist_classic - - * When sorting contacts by protocol, metacontacts are sorted by their current - "real" protocol (the protocol which determines the most online contact). - Note: Uncheck "Ignore all subcontact states" on the advanced option page to - make this work. If the setting is checked, the contact list will ignore all - subcontact state values and only use the master contact information. - NOTE: this feature is incomplete, it does not react to protocol changes (yet). - - + new, experimental, autosizing optimization. Much less repainting and flickering - when a large number of contacts go online/offline (e.g. while conncting a - protocol). - - * changed the way selective status icons work a bit. The setting does no longer - depend on "Show status icons" being off, and the "Always align..." option being - on. Note that selective status icons only work with the avatar alignment set to - "Far left". - -0.5.1.8 - 2005/09/20 - - * Critical bug (hangup when status bar disabled) solved. - -0.5.1.7 - 2005/09/20 - - ! items in protocol ordering dialog were not dragable (unicode build). - - ! The option "Automatically fill background with wallpaper" was crashing the plugin - in the unicode build. - -0.5.1.6 - 2005/09/19 - released as UNICODE only build (for testing). - - + added status bar protocol sorting - - + added new option on the Background+ page: Apply group indent to background drawing. - When enabled, the indentation values for grouped contacts will also affect the background - of the items, not only the contents. - - + BIG unicode changes. All clist_classic changes to allow Unicode contact and group names - have been merged. This should, however, be considered experimental alpha code. There - are probably bugs and it may crash. BACKUP your db before using the unicode build (that's - generally a good idea when testing bleeding edge builds, including the nightly builds - of the unicode core). - - + ability to show the ICQ extended status menu on the status menu. Patch by Nullbie - this - feature requires a slightly modified ICQJ. Maybe, this code will make it into the - official ICQJ version. - - ! fix: Move to Group->Root Group actually made the contact invisible, because it set the - Group to an empty string (wrong, the Group entry needs to be deleted in the db). - -0.5.1.5 - 2005/09/15 - - + added TweakUI - like full transparency. Setting is on the Window page (same place - where you can set normal transparency). This setting can be mixed with active/ - inactive transparency values, which will then control the transparency of the - remaining parts of the window (fonts etc..). - - + added: double clicking the avatar opens the user info dialog. - Enable it on Options->Contact List->List. - - * somewhat smoother and less "jumpy" resizing (new bugs/small visual glitches possible, - especially with autosizing enabled). - This includes "fast resizing" for manual resize operations (dragging the window border). - Certain "expensive" paint operations are skipped to speed up resizing. A full window - repaint is executed at the end of a resizing cycle. - - * fix: minor visual glitch with sunken frame and bottom buttons enabled. - - + added pflagnum_5 support to the status menu builder... - - ! fixed: status bar default setting was ignored for fresh profiles - -0.5.1.4 - 2005/09/13 - - + added "move to group" contact menu entry - - + client icon update from clist_mw. Should be all there now. - - + "Automatically fill background with wallpaper" now also works with the new setting - on the background page (use background for entire window). - - * The "Plus" page has been renamed to "Advanced options". Reason: "Plus" conflicts with - a similar page of the popup plugin, and with some language packs the resulting trans- - lation can be confusing - for example, in german language pack, plus is translated to - "smilies and skins" (for the popup+ plugin) which doesn't really match the purpose - of clist_nicer's former "Plus" page. "Advanaced options" is neutral and not confusing - at all. - - + added the 2 new font settings for status messages and frame titles to the font service - configuration. Consequently, when the font service plugin is installed and detected, - clist_nicer+ disables its internal font configuration dialog. Also, the internal font - configuration dialog has been moved to the "Customize" section. - - + added the genmenu group menu stuff (group, subgroup etc.) - -0.5.1.3 - 2005/09/13 - - ! fix for status detection not working in some cases (too much optimizations done) - -0.5.1.2 - 2005/09/13 - - ! row gap value wasn't loaded at startup. - - ! fixed problem with ICQ xstatus modes & messages - - * strip cr/lf sequences from status messages to avoid unreadable chars. - - * reorganized client icons and id strings - - * fixed dimmed avatar for idle contacts when using GDI+ - - + new setting on the "Advanced Options" page. - "Don't request avatars for offline contacts". This option will, when enabled, prevent - the contact list from requesting avatars using the avatar service when a contact is - offline. - The option is useful if your contact list is very large and the initial request for - all avatars may cause a delay or if you have set your clist to display all contacts - (including offline). Avatars will then be requested when a contact comes online. This - option might also save quite some memory on large contact lists, because most of the - time only a fraction of your contacts will be actually online. - - ! fixed hit-test (double click on extra icons...) - - * changed database paths for menu item configuration. Unfortunately, you may have to - redo your menus :/ Reason: collisions when switching clists (mw, modern, nicer) may - cause troubles with the menu system. clist_mw and _modern are already using different - database paths, so clist_nicer also has to do so. - - + added a skin item for the event area. Also, the button is now gone and the entire - event area is now clickable. The button just didn't look well with a skinned event - area. - - ! fixed "not on list" font color was ignored. - - + added icon to show activity in irc channels, based on the visiblity setting. You need to - have "Show visibility icons" enabled in order to show it. - Icon is configureable via IcoLib, as always. - - * the detection for the "most online" protocol now ignores protocols which are not fully IM - capable (like RSSNews) and don't support away status mode(s). This prevents the status - button from showing always "Online", when a protocol cannot go into away mode (like RSS). - -0.5.1.1 - 2005/09/09 - - ! fixed a few mw bugs (frame gap, some redraw issues). Additional pointer checks in AddFrame() - - ! fixed possible on exit crash (using deleted critical section) - - + added clist_nicer+ skin item for the frame title bar background. - - * some optimizations to resizing (clui frame mainly). - - + added extra icons (mail, sms, homepage + one reserved). Options - are in Contact List->Window. The icons are clickable and open your default browser - or email client respectively (double click needed). - - + frame title bar can now be fully skinned. A new font setting has been added to set - the font + color for frame titles. - - + new setting: Clip border by (Window page). Will clip the main window border by - x pixels on each side which can effectively be used to completely get rid of the - contact lists border. This can work in combination with the "rounded window" setting - on the same page. Note: may not fully work when autosizing is enabled. - - + new setting: Row gap (List page). Insert x pixels of gap after each contact on the - list. The gap is transparent, so the background image (or color) will be visible here. - This is somewhat different from the Background+ item configuration where a margin can - be set for each side of a contact list item. The row gap is considered when calculating - row heights, the individual item margins are not. - - * removed clist_nicers own copy of ICQ xstatus icons. These icons are now obtained by - using the extraimages api (like clist_mw does). The ICQ protocol sends these icons - on request. - - * the options to show extra and client icons were moved to the "Window" page, where you - can also configure the other extra icons (email, homepage, URL etc..). - In order to see mBirthday icons, you need to activate the "Reserved" and "Reserved2" - entries. - - * the event area is now a frame of its own and can be moved anywhere you want it. Autohide - feature does still work. - -0.5.0.7 - 2005/08/30 - not officially released, for testing purpose only - - * GDI+ rendering added. Requires gdi+ installed - it is on all XP and most Win2K systems, - others can get it here: - - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6a63ab9c-df12-4d41-933c-be590feaa05a&DisplayLang=en - - Using GDI+ for rendering the avatars gives better quality, especially for fully alpha- - blended PNG images, but even normal bitmaps look better because of the higher quality - image rescaling in gdi+. - - + the toolbar button for toggling sounds has now 2 icons showing the actual state of the - sounds setting. - - + updated toolbar icons with the latest ttb icon set by Angeli-Ka - - * show xstatus (if set) on the status button (patch submitted by nullbie) - - + more GDI+ rendering - background items are now also rendered with GDI+ using antialiasing, - so rounded contact list items should look better now. GDI+ is optional and needs to be - enabled on the "Plus" page in the options tree. It cannot be enabled, if it isn't installed - though. GDI+ is used with "delayed" linkage, so it shouldn't give you an error if the - gdiplus.dll is not installed on your system. - - ! small bug with "far right" aligned avatars corrected (text overdrawing the avatars). - - + added customizable menus (main menu, status menu and contact menu only) - code from clist_mw, - slightly changed because some _mw features are not in clist_nicer. - - + added multiwindow API, so all multiwindow plugins should work now, including top toolbar - of course. - - * client icons are loaded "on demand" to save gdi resources - -0.5.0.6 - 2005/08/27 - - + option to disable the expand/collapse icons for groups (Options->Contact List->List) - If enabled, you'll have to double click the group label in order to expand/collapse - a group. - - + added more client icons - thanks to Angeli-Ka for the icon set. - - + some performance optimizations (about +5k code size) - - * changed the status icon on the bottom status selection button. If you don't have set - a preferred system tray icon on Options->contact list, the button will now show your - "most online" status, using the global status icon. - - * visual corrections for multiline-status messages. only full rows of text are visible. - - ! fixed and added a few border styles for contact list items (Background+ page) - -0.5.0.5 - 2005/08/25 - - + added rounded window frame - - + added support for database-cached Yahoo and GG status messages. Also, ICQ - extended status messages can be shown on the contact list, since they are - also saved to the database. - - - removed the "unknown" avatar feature. Since the avatar service now supports - per protocol default images, it's rather pointless to have a fallback - image in the clist itself. - - * reduced database reads and writes a lot (caching some configuration data). - - * slightly changed the way the clist determines if a second line of text is - needed. There are now 4 modes availble, selectable via a combo - box and they are considered in the following order: - - * Never - the 2nd line will never be visible, no matter how much space is - available. If an avatar requires a larger row size, the nickname will be - centered and the remaining space will be left empty. - - * Always - each contact will have a second row of text. - - * If space allows - The second row will be visible when the row height is already - large enough (e.g. due to the avatar using a considerable amount of vertical - space). - - * If needed - The second row will be visible if there is useful information to - display, that is, the contact has set a status message or extended status mode - (for ICQ contacts). The normal protocol status is not considered here. - - + some tweaks to avatar drawing - better clipping with rounded avatars, region based - borders. - - + another memory overflow found and fixed in the DrawAlpha() function - -0.5.0.4 - 2005/08/25 - - + bugfix for startup crash - -0.5.0.3 - 2005/08/22 - - ! bugfix: when starting hidden/minimized, some buttons did not show up after - restoring the clist until it was resized. - - * delete group warning dialog now shows the name of the group which is about to - be deleted in the title bar (useful, if the delete group service was called by - another plugin, and you therefore cannot know which group is affected). - - * embedded contact lists can now display avatars and use dual row mode. - - ! fixed quicksearch problems with avatars and dual row display. - - ! Background+ page was not translateable (inherited bug from original clist_nicer). - - + added option ("Plus page") to show the status msg instead of the status mode. Note - that this only shows cached "CList" status messages and does NOT retrieve them - actively. Also, you need to enable "Allow two rows of text" to show them. - - The order of tings shown in the 2nd line is (depending on availability): - 1) Clist status message (if enabled on the option page) - 2) Custom status mode name (ICQ only) - 3) protocol status mode name (online, offline, away and so on...) - - ! fixed incorrect display of some contacts. - - + added "overlay" status icons which can be superimposed over avatars. Customization - possible via IcoLib plugin. Enable them on the "Plus" option page. - Thanks to Faith Healer for permission to use the icons. - - + added "selective status icon" support. This is a bit tricky. Basically, it fills - the empty space for missing avatars with the protocol status icon. Selective status - icons require the following: - - * option enabled (plus page) - * Status icons switched off (plus page) - * Avatars enabled - * "Always align icons and text for missing avatars" enabled - - If these settings are in effect, then the empty space showing up if a contact has - no avatar is filled with the protocol status icon. - - + added variable row heights. Thanks to pescuma for a really nice and clean - implementation of this feature with minimal impact on the contact list core code. - As a result, the avatar height is now a separate value and does no longer depend - on the row height (set it on the "Plus" page - default are 28 pixels in height). - - + added support for the updater plugin by sje. Future versions of clist_nicer+ may - be available by automatic updates ONLY ("major" releases will still be available - in the file listing). - -0.5.0.2 - 2005/08/06 - - * changed API of loadavatars. You need to update both .DLLs not only the - clist_nicer_plus.dll. If you don't, it will crash. - - * better quality for "rounded" avatars. - - + option to always align nicknames and/or icons, even if there is NO avatar for - a contact (just leave an empty space then). - - * if an extended status mode (ICQ) is set, it will be shown in the second line, - instead of the normal protocol status. - - ! center group names now also works with the contact count numbers enabled. Also, - draw lines along group names works with centered group names. - - + avatar alignment now supports 3 modes: - * far left (avatar at the left edge of the contact list) - * far right (avatar at the right edge) - * with nickname (avatar just in front of the nickname, but right of the status - icon). - - + some fixes to hottracking (works for ignored items). The option "ignore selection - for group names" is now working. - -0.5.0.1 - 2005/08/05 - - * hottrack item config moved to the item list. It can now be configured like any - other item, except that it inherits the following stats from the underlying - item. - - * corners - * gradient TYPE (colors can be set) - * margins - - colors and transparency value can be set for the hottracking item, but shape - (corners), margins and gradient type cannot, because they need to be inherited - from the item which is currently "hottracked". - - ! another bugfix with window layout when autosizing is enabled - - * changed sorting method. It now uses sorting based on current locale - settings, which means it peroperly handles language specific characters like - german umlauts. That also fixes wrong sortings with cyrillic nicknames. - - + avatars added. Yes, I don't like avatars on the contact list, but since it is - requested so often... really, I need someone who can explain me why avatars are - SO important in instant messaging... :) - - The options are, as always, in the context - menu of the contact list. Avatars can be switched off, they can be ordered to left - align (normally, they are just left of the nickname, but after the status icon) - and they can have a border. - - Avatars follow the row height, so in order to get a reasonable avatar size, you - should increase the row height (a value of 28 or more pixels already gives decent - quality). They are also drawn with the alpha value of the background item, so they - can be partially transparent. - - Avatars require the plugin LOADAVATARS.DLL, which is a separate plugin and works - as some kind of avatar service in the background. - - + dual row mode added. When the row height allows for more than a single line of text - (given the current fonts), a second line is added showing the status mode. Also, some - icon position are changed in dual row mode and the visibility icon is moved to the - 2nd row so it won't take space from the nickname. - - + some options to tweak the layout added. It is now possible to make the status icons - optional, for example. - - + status icons are now optional (enable them via the context menu or use the new "Plus" - option page. - - + new option page added (Contact List->Plus). Contains all the new settings for tweaking - the layout and other stuff. - -0.4.0.4 - 2005/07/13 - - * better client icon update - - ! evemt area only groups message events - - + timer based clist sorting added. This saves A LOT of sorting, especially while - connecting multiple protocols and filling the contact list. It can reduce the - number of sorting runs by a factor of 10. The disadvantage are very small delays - in the range of 100 - 150 milliseconds. In most cases, you won't notice it. - - The timer based sorting can be disabled by creating a DWORD value in the CLC - module. Name it "SortTimer" and set its value to 0. - Alternatively, you can set the timer value in milliseconds, using the same db - setting. Default is 150 ms and you can set it to any value between 50 and 500. - Smaller and larger values will be ignored as they don't make sense. - - NOTE: restart required after changing the db setting. - - + added right margin indent value. Affects text, right-aligned icons only, but not - the background (they already have individual margins for each item type). - Options->Contact List->List. Basically, it prevents the client or extended status - icon(s) to "touch" the right window border (which may look ugly). - - + added "full row selection". Simple, you don't HAVE to click on the contacts text - any longer in order to select it. This conflicts with the "easy move" feature, - unless you have some free space in your contact list. To disable full row select - hold the SHIFT key while using the mouse, so you can still "easy drag" the contact - list window around. - - You can enable/disable full row select under Options->Contact List->List - Note: full row selection also impacts hottracking of items. - - + added hottracking with changing background color. Two new color fields are on - the Background+ page which allow you to set the (background) colors for hottracked - items. If a gradient has been set for an item type, hottracking uses both colors - to build the new gradient, otherwise, only the first color is active. - - ! fixed a few redrawing/layout problems with the new window elements. - - ! fixed autosize-related focus stealing (ugly) - - + added a new skin item "First group on list" - allows to draw the first group header - with a different skin. - -0.4.0.3 - 2005/07/13 - - ! don't draw additional icons in "embedded" mode (e.g. if the clist control - is being used in a dialog box like typing notify options. - - ! only show the toolbar config menu when right clicking over the toolbar. - - ! some visual glitches fixed when autosizing is on. - -0.4.0.2 - 2005/07/09 - - ! fixed bug with fade in/out contact list - - ! fixed "sorting by name" bug (inherited from clist_classic, rather old bug) - - ! fixed metacontacts not disappearing from group when going offline - - - removed "simple" font configuration dialog. - - + added a context menu to allow configuration of some aspects of the button bar. - You can increase/decrease the size of the buttons, can set them as flat or 3d, - and you can disable visual styles for the buttons (may look better with some - visual styles as they have problems to draw very small buttons). - Also, you can now decide which buttons you want to see on the button bar, - and which buttons you don't (that may be an opportunity to add some more - buttons in the future). - - + added option to the contact list context menu -> use meta protocol icons. If - enabled, icons for the meta protocol will be shown for metacontacts (instead of - the actual protocol icons). - - ! some visual glitches fixed (especially, when TweakUI is enabled). - - ! another old bug fixed. Groups are now using the colors from the "Background+" - page. - - + added the "Event Area". This is a small area at the bottom of the contact list - which will show you the most recent contact list event (received message, file - and so on...). If more than one event is waiting, a list of unhandled event is - opened when you click the button in that area. - This feature is, of course, optional. Right click the contact list and you'll find - the options in the context menu. You can disable the event area or set it to auto- - hide so it will only be visible when needed. - - + feature added: "Move events on top" - contacts with unread or - "unhandled" events (simply, all flashing contacts) will stick on top of their group - (or the entire contact list, if no groups are in use). - - This is optinonal, and can be configured at the "Contact List" main page (where you - set other sorting options. - -0.4.0.1 - 2005/07/08 - first public release -- cgit v1.2.3
