1.503i - Oct 27, 1999
------
New and fixes
-------------
- rewrote the contact list file :
- contacts are now stored in icqlist.dat
- support for extended ICQ info
- file versioning (for easy upgrades)
- autoconversion from old list
- fields are now all variable length, supporting up to 32768 char's
- upgraded from ICQ protocol V2 to V5
- searching UIN's should now work properly
- bad password warning
- multipackets (can recieve messages of any length from ICQ server)
- packet encryption
- anti-spoofing from server
- various little fixes
(thanks goes to Matthew Smith, author of MICQ)
- switched compilers from gcc/emx to VisualAge 3.08
- got rid of the need for any external DLL's
(this increases EXE size, but it's worth it)
- password is now hidden
- random crashing due to old contactlist fixed
- added "move contacts to the top when online" and "show only online contacts"
- added the ability to turn authentication on/off
- added ability to authenticate users
- added notice when someone else adds you (current, ICQ/2 doesn't tell the
server when you add someone, but that is in the works)
- added file-transfer code (disabled - needs more testing)
- fixed new UIN creation
- changed Info/Modify dialog for future support of extended info
- added the ability to query server for info on a user
- fixed auto-relogin (?)
- added a queue'ing system when communicating with the server, now whatever
you send to the server is almost garuntee'd to get there
- fixed a problem when contact list was empty (none in list)
- alot of various bug fixes
known bugs/non-features:
----------
- stop when searching doesn't work (disabled)
- Status Box and main ICQ button now fixed width, could cause a cosmetic
problem
- problem with searching some UIN's with no info (nick, email, etc)
- chat doesn't work
- only basic info works on Query (Info/modify)
- running multiple copies of ICQ/2 will result in strange things happening
(I don't recommend it)
- there might be a problem with timeout and setting status (looking into it)
- alot of things still need to be implemented
1.503h (internal beta) - ?
-----------------------
- fixed online/offline detection of icq/2
- fixed a memory leak with the contact list
- added Enter on send for messages
