AtarICQ 0.171 released

[gokmase]

Hi all,

 

Following the 0.170 release in June earlier this year, there is now a new aICQ release ready for download.

A good deal of small issues have been sorted out but there are a couple of additions made this time too.

 

 

 

You can download the new release here:

 

http://www.ataricq.org

 

Compared to the previous official release:

 

* A number of minor bugs sorted

 

* In some popup menus it was not possible to select an entry in case

either contact list or msg window was also open. Fixed now.

 

* Fetching of contacts from the server side list had accidently been

disabled in 0.170. It works now, but this needs to be reimplemented

in the future.

 

* Found and fixed a small bug that would result in form_wbutton() not being

used under MagiC for handling of mouse clicks in background.

 

* AtarICQ now use AV_STARTPROG instead of VA_START when:

1. Asking AV-SERVER to launch the Colour Selector (In Prefs./Contact list)

2. Asking AV-SERVER to replay sound sample files

3. Asking AV-SERVER to display history file (CTRL+H)

4. Asking AV-SERVER to display the help file (HELP)<br>

(This should be good news to people who use other desktops than Thing)

 

* A right click on an empty place in contact list will open up the popup menu

with a listing of contacts, allowing you to "Create TAB for <nick>".

(Also available through CTRL+T)

 

* All popup menus that have window titles will now also have a CLOSER widget.

Also, these popups can now also be moved like any other GEM window.

 

* Using TAB or UP/DOWN-ARROW to jump to next text edit field in a dialog now

works better under MagiC. SHIFT+TAB will now move focus backwards. Also,

when we hit the last (or first, depending on TAB-direction) editable object

of the dialog, focus will not wrap back to the first (or last) editable

object. (This is in fact a workaround for MagiC's limited implementation of

FORM_KEYBD)

 

* Last AtarICQ release had a bug in the keyboard evaluation code that

prevented user to type chars that required ALT-combinations.

Should be OK now.

 

* Adapted aICQ to some server changes on the ICQ-servers, making the logging in

process a tad faster, and the updating of the contact list a lot smoother during it.

 

 

Have fun, and please don't hesitate to send feedback!

I hope there are a bunch of people out there still using the program, is that so? Smile

 

Regards,
