ChangeLog for Nicotine Plus

1.2.10 (26 May 2009)

Behaviour
 * RGBA mode is no longer on by default, to use it pass the --enable-rgba flag when starting Nicotine+
 * On Windows, configuration files are now stored in the user's Application Data folder instead of the installation folder (bug #330)
 * The configuration screen for shares has been rearranged in order to make it more logical (bug #341)
 * Support for Mutagen has been added. This will result in more accurate information about bitrates and lengths (bug #259)
 * Icons have been replaced, the alt-tab icon is increased.
 * Most external calls now support pipes
 * Improved German (bug #394) and French translation (thanks goes to ><((((*>)
 * The dependency for PyVorbis has been removed in favour of Mutagen (bug #409)
 * Notification popups will no longer stack but a single popup will be updated
 
Features
 * Built-in Webbrowser (MozEmbed)
 * Ignore by IP
 * Windows components have been improved
 * The language selection now uses normal names instead of abbreviations (bug #332)
 * When switching languages GTK will be translated as well
 * Hash checking to eliminate duplicates. When a file name conflict arises after a download finishes both files are hashed 
   to make sure the new file is not identical to the old one.
 * Public Room support has been added
 * The amount of tracked and displayed search results is now limited, which should allow nicotine+ to cope better with overly
   generic search terms. Internally a maximum of 1500 are recorded, of which a maximum of 500 are shown. The other 1000 can be
   retrieved by using the filters. (bug #284)
 * Notebook tabs can be reordered and hidden, and these settings will be remembered.
 * Search results are now limited. There are two different limits:
   1) The show limit. This is the amount of results shown in the search tabs
   2) The store limit. This is the amount of results stored internally. This is useful when using search filters
   These limits are configurable from the configuration screen. (bug #284)
 * Nicotine tries to rename itself from 'python' to 'nicotine' for programs like 'ps' (requires procname module) and 'pkill' (bug #355)
 * 'Remember choice' option in the quit confirmation dialogue
 * It is possible to ignore people based on their IP address
 * Import warnings are now shows in the log window as well as in the console (bug #381)
 * New logging functionality, which means no more messages should get lost in the console
 * You can change your password now (bug #424) 
 * Misc. improvements to transfer handling
 * Tab completion can be done by in-line replacement instead of dropdown list
 * Transfer views now have a 'Place in line' column

Bugs
 * The Danish translation is now stored under 'da'
 * Fixed sorting of percentage (bug #322)
 * A number of typographical errors have been corrected (bug #334 and #335)
 * When disabling sound this setting will be loaded correctly now (bug #285)
 * Repaired sayprivate function from the pluginsystem 
 * The Windows versions now comes with jpeg62.dll (bug #342)
 * The word '-' is now filtered from search queries (bug #367)
 * Handling of word wrapping of extremely long words is improved

   Mark James' Silk icon set: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/

 * Added Double-clicking on a user starts a private message in the chatrooms, 
   the userlist, and similar users.
 * Added TrayIcon from unreleased Nicotine 1.1.0pre1, and added a menu to it.
   This is a module and needs to be compiled.

   refreshing.
 * Updated translations to work with hotkey menu and other changes
 * French translation: systry corrected typos and translated more strings.
 * Added a Send to Player popup menu item, which allows you to send downloading,
   uploading or files in your own shares to an external program, such as a media
   player.

 * Added a "Send to Player" popup menu item for downloads and personal shares

   direct peer searches

   PyGTK 2.6 compatible functions.
 * Fixed the CRITICAL pygtk_generic_tree_model warning that has been plaguing 
   Nicotine since GTK2.4 came out. The problem was fixed by adding:
   "if not node: node = self.tree"  to the on_iter_nth_child() function.
 * Moved the upload popup-menu item so that it isn't incorrectly disabled from
   sending multiple files.
 * Added two new debugging messages for when someone browses you or gets your
   userinfo, you can see their username. ( Idea/code stolen from "Airn Here",
   pointed out by heni (thanks to both of you) ) 
 * Fixed a little bug in a popup menu that caused a traceback
 * Added an optional client version message, which is similar to the CTCP
   VERSION message on IRC. It sends your client's version via Private Message to
   a remote  user. You can disable automatic responding of it in the 
   Settings->Server.  So far, it works only with this version of Nicotine and 
   Museek's Curses client, Mucous. Send it via the popup menu in Private chat,
   or with the command: /ctcpversion

Version 1.0.8-e March 25 2006

   username)
