Summary: Miranda IM v0.3.1 Released
The Miranda Instant Messenger project is happy to announce a new public
release of Miranda IM. Miranda IM is a free multi protocol instant
messenger client for Windows designed to be resource efficient and
customisable. It uses very little memory, requires no installation and
runs fast even on very old computers.
Its powerful plugin system makes Miranda IM extremely flexible. Only the
most basic features are built in, but there are currently almost 200 free
plugins available for download that allows users to extend the
functionality in Miranda IM.
Miranda IM is open source and published under the terms of the GNU
General Public License. OS support: Windows NT4, 95, 98, Me, 2000 & XP
Protocol support: Support for ICQ, AIM, MSN, IRC and Jabber is included
in this release. The following protocols are available as separate
downloads on the website: Gadu-Gadu, ICQ Groupware, Yahoo, Netsend,
EmLanProto, Vypress Chat, POP3, Tlen and more!

1. New in this version
----------------------
This section lists some of the changes between different releases. We
have tried to list all the important ones without getting too technical.

http://miranda-icq.sourceforge.net/rich/
* New in 0.3.1
Major changes:
- IRC protocol plugin is now included in the installer
Bugfixes:
- Fixed tooltips cutting off text in systray on newer shells
- Removed some memory leaks
- Many bug fixes relating to the away system
- CPU went to 100% if resized to small
- Possible XP theme corruption in toolbar image buttons
- Find/Add dialog showed protocols that didn't support the find/add
service
- Rename contact menu item is only shown when menu is shown from the
contact list
- Netlib could cause 100% CPU usage during fast file transfers
- Menu items could sometimes be placed in the wrong order
Enhancements:
- Redesigned message dialog
- Added a heap compactor to flush out memory every 5 minutes
- All new default icons
- You can now set a sound for outgoing message
- Autoaway no longer pops up change status message dialog
- Added a Global Status Icons setting under icons. This lets you
set the default systray icon and global status menu icons.
* New in 0.3
Major changes:
- ICQ module has been moved to a separate plugin. You can now
run Miranda IM without ICQ
- Bundled support for ICQ, AIM, Jabber and MSN
Bugfixes:
- Reply quoted sometimes closed window
- Much safer multithreading. This will help make Miranda IM more stable.
- Several "crash on exit" bugs fixed
- If only specific protocols are invisible don't show contact's as
always visible if their protocol is not invisible
- Strange behaviour in the Auto away feature
- New add/authorization dialog
- Always/Never visible settings is now mutually exclusive
- If already away or in NA, don't try to resend away/NA, this fixes the
problem with the NA dialog reshown every five seconds, also fixes
flooding of NA status changes to other contacts
- File Transfer Complete sound would play even if that never happened,
added a few extra sounds for "failed" and "denied".
- Smarter database: Miranda now checks your profile carefully before
opening to ensure that it's in proper working order
- Since the database is so smart, it also checks to see if your disk
drive has actually written out new information, if it hasn't it shuts
down, protecting the profile from major corruption (total data loss of a
profile infact)
- At least 2 gazillion internal fixes too complicated to explain (we
dont even know what we did
)
Enhancements:
- UI improvements to the plugins options page
- Search dialog now remembers last protocol used
- Added possibility to delete user with Del key
- Improved integration with XP themes
- Added menu in URL receive dialog (open in new/current window/copy link)
- Multi line tray tooltips
- Netlib now creates log path if it doesn't exist
- Several optimizations to make Miranda IM run even faster and more stable
- Made it possible to close read status message dialog with escape
- Improved some of the error messages to make them easier to understand

Gordon
