This is the change log for the development version of  TabSRMM 3.

Between the last release of 2.x.x and 3.0.0.0, there were hundreds of changes, many of them internal and most of them are not listed in detail on this page. These changes are, in most cases, not relevant to the user, because they were internal rewrites of large parts of the plugin.

Alpha releases of TabSRMM 3 are updated infrequently and can be downloaded from my googlecode site. This is also the location where you should report bugs for the alpha versions - do not use the official Miranda bugtracker.

Some version numbers are missing in this list and this is because they were used for internal builds only. This list only contains changes for released versions - a more comprehensive change log can be found in the SVN commit logs.

Version 3.1.99.1 - 2010/08/28

    * bug fix: topic in info panel did not refresh immediately when it was changed

    * updater support for the version on the addons site.

    * load system libraries in a safe way.

    * bugfix (MUC): Do not lose input focus after autocomplete did not find
      a matching nick name when the option to allow TAB in the input area is
      enabled.

    * bug fix (MUC): Allow undo for nick - autocomplete actions

    * modified sound group names to be more obvious

    ! fixed memory leak in contact cache when a contact is deleted.

    * metacontact support: propagate outgoing typing notifications to the active
      subcontact.

    * slightly improved compatibility with old (version 2) skins.

    * MUC: make autocomplete-nickname actions undoable.

    ! fix: possible crash when closing the last tab in a container and this
      tab was a MUC session.

    ! removed ancient hardcoded size limit for the container height. This prevented
      containers to restore at a height lower than 300 pixels.

    ! fixed an issue which could cause the unattended send feature being un-
      available, despite the option saying otherwise.

    ! additonal checks to prevent uncommanded invokation of the container
      menu bar, when using hotkeys with an ALT modifier.

    * support 32x32 icons for the ALT-TAB preview on all supported operating
      systems.	

    ! dragging text from the message log was broken

    ! MUC: respect the setting for "auto copy on select text" in group chat
      sessions

	* MUC: added code for case-insensitive highlighting of messages
	  containing your own nick name.

	* MUC: fixed background color for popups (should now use the correct
	  color set for the MUC log background).

	* added custom warning messages when importing a theme via
	  Customize->Message window skin.

	* fixed wrong 32 pixel icon in the container options dialog. Now using
	  the message icon (for which we have both 16 and 32 pixel variants).

	* avoid creating new windows and event notifications on non-message
	  events (e.g. file transfers).

Version 3.0.1.2 - 2010/08/09

	* finished v5 theme support (improved exporting and importing group
	  chat settings)

	  when using folders plugin.

Version 3.0.0.40 - 2010/07/10

	* various fixes and improvements for Windows 7 task bar support.

	* option to warn when closing a tab is gone. A replacement has been added which
	  will show you a warning when you are about to close a window with multiple tabs.
	  This warning uses a custom warning dialog and can be disabled by checking its
	  "Do not show this message again" option.

	* fix for auto switching tabs incorrectly focusing tab when creating a new
	  one in the background.

	* fixed crash when forcefully terminating Miranda while a custom warning
	  dialog is still open.

	* task bar previews: removed placeholders and implemented real previews of
	  the message window contents.

	* redesigned container options dialog for better translations. Most
	  options now offer much more space for translated strings.

	* attempt to fix stuck typing notifications on arriving messages

Version 3.0.0.38 - 2010/06/21 - released with Miranda 0.9.alpha#11

	* implemented warning dialog boxes with a "do not show this message again"
	  checkmark for various error- or informational messages.

	* disabled aero peek previews when a skin is in use because of various
	  unresolved problems. Might be adressed at a later time.

	* updated icon pack version to 5 and re-enabled a mandatory version check
	  on startup. The warning message can be disabled though.

Version 3.0.0.37 - 2010/06/15 (released as official alpha build)

	* changed logic for calculating relative skin path names. You will most likely
	  have to reload your skins.

	* fixed a possible crash when unloading/reloading skins.

	* some updates for task bar thumbnails.

Version 3.0.0.36 - 2010/06/04 - released with Miranda 0.9.alpha#10

	* task bar support (Win 7), removed check for running DWM. Task bar tabs should
	  now work with classic and non-aero themes in Windows 7 (no thumbnails, though,
	  because they require Aero to be active).

	* renamed misleading option for task bar support as it implied to require an Aero
	  theme (which is not the case).

	* another tool bar rendering fix - don't use gradients for the tool bar background
	  at all with classic Windows theme, unless both tool bar background colors are
	  properly set.

	* Aero peek (task bar tabs) now default to enabled.

Version 3.0.0.35 - 2010/05/29

	* taskbar thumbnails (Win7): better support for MUC tabs, set active session
	  should now work.

	* autoclose tabs: converted to a more useful autoclose/autohide container
	  feature and moved to container options.

	* fixed a bug where installing a language pack could break hotkeys (translation
	  issue)

	* fixed "black tool bar bug" when classic windows theme is active on XP or later.

Version 3.0.0.34 - 2010/05/27

	* fixed crash when running on Windows 2000

	* cleaned up the mess in the TSButton class

	* More work on Aero Peek thumbnail previews. Added custom thumbnails for MUC chat
	  rooms and server windows.

	* updated msglog mark read code with some recent changes for srmm.

Version 3.0.0.33 - 2010/05/22

	* some issues fixed

	* improved compatibility for old (TabSRMM 2) skins

	* preliminary support for large status icons on the Windows 7 task bar (Miranda 0.9
	  required).

	* option to show avatars on task bar added to container settings (only
	  when running on Windows 7).

	* option to enable/disable Windows 7 task bar features removed (now always on,
	  when running on Windows 7).

	* Added aero peek for the Windows 7 task bar. Per tab thumbnails are partially
	  implemented, so you get a similar UI as seen in other tabbed applications
	  under Windows 7 (IE 8, Opera 10, for example). Still experimental, so it is
	  disabled by default (Message Sessions->Advanced tweaks is where you can enable
	  it). A Restart is required.

Version 3.0.0.32 - 2010/05/16

	* menu bar is now using tool bar colors when using custom message window
	  colors

	  change log for TabSRMM 3 development versions

	* added theme support for new color settings (+ updated theme version to

	  channel log file.
