Version 1.4b12 (2009-10-24)

Revision: cdc1b3a12cf7

General

  • Significantly increased performance when displaying a lot of messages at once. This greatly affects, for example, loading message history when opening a window or loading a lot of Twitter messages at once.
    • This only applies to styles which do not override the Template.html file, as the improvements were made there.
    • If you see any weird behavior with message display, please let us know.
  • In the contact list, pressing left-arrow when selecting an item will select its parent item if it’s not expanded, like Finder.
  • Added %serviceIconPath% keyword to statuses and messages, fixed %statusIconImg% in header not working for IRC, Facebook, Twitter, etc. (#12697,#12665)
  • Added %senderColor% keyword to header replacements. (#12666)
  • Added %dateOpened% keyword to header replacements. (#12692)
  • Fixed BOSH server replacing normal Jabber connect server. (#13206)
  • Fixed automatically connecting to a server that specifies an AAAA (IPv6) address. (#12632)
  • Fixed “save open chats” breaking tab moving, and causing crashes. (#12212)
  • Fixed “smart links” being turned on by default, causing much confusion.
  • (b12) Fixed a crash introduced in b11 when checking hosts.
