Changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation 1.0.1,
a maintenance release featuring notable improvements for users of right-to-
left languages (including new Arabic and Hebrew translations), further re-
finement of the user interface and application functionality, and fixes for
minor defects found in the previous release.

* A bug that caused left-to-right text contained in lines determined to be
  right-to-left text to appear reversed has been fixed.
* Whether a line is treated as right-to-left vs. left-to-right text is now
  determined by the amount of each type of character in the line, improving
  the user experience in chats involving bi-directional text considerably.
* The "Edit Network" dialog has been refined for clarity and ease of use.
* A warning dialog to prevent accidentally quitting Konversation has been
  added.
* The Auto Replace list can now be sorted.
* The '/media' script command now sports improved player recognition, enhan-
  ced and easier configurability, the ability to distinguish between audio
  and video media as well as newly added support for kdetv. New '/audio' and
  '/video' command aliases have been added to expose these new abilities.
* The lower boundary of the default DCC port range has been raised from 1025
  to 1026 to avoid conflicts with the commonly blocked Windows RPC port 1025.
* Dismissing an OSD notification by clicking on it will now also cancel the
  systray notification flash.
* A new configuration file option [OSD]OSDCheckDesktopLock has been added,
  allowing to manually disable the screensaver check in non-KDE environments
  that do not support it, causing the OSD not to be displayed.
* A bug that could lead to the "Switch to" sub-menu in the context menus of
  tabs not to be updated properly upon switching tabs has been fixed.
* A bug that caused the 'irc setBack' DCOP call not to function has been
  fixed.
* A bug that caused ampersands in the names of tabs not to be displayed and
  an immediately following character to be used as keyboard accelerator has
  been fixed.
* A bug that caused ignoring nicknames with '[' or ']' characters in them to
  fail has been fixed.
* Command aliases containing regular expression syntax can no longer cause
  built-in commands not to function.
* A bug that caused the Konversation irc:// protocol handler not to function
  has been fixed. Its compatibility with systems that do not use the GNU bash
  shell as default shell has been improved.
* A notable number of code quality improvements suggested by KDEs automated
  quality control service EBN have been implemented.

Changes from 0.19 to 1.0
We are extremely pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation
1.0, a significant milestone in the lifetime of the Konversation project. This
release includes major new functionality as well as a large amount of
improvements to existing functionality, with an emphasis on user interface
polish and overall reliability. Notable new features include a vertical treelist
of tabs as an alternative to the traditional tab bar, auto-replacement of words
in incoming and outgoing messages, an improved Channel Settings dialog now
featuring a ban list, an optional expanding input box and many improvements to
both DCC file transfers and DCC chats. Enjoy!


User Interface
* It is now possible to place the tabs on the left side of the application window.
  This has been implemented as a treelist of tabs. The treelist supports all of
  the cosmetic and interactive properties of the original horizontal tab bar,
  including colored notifications, LED icons, (hover) close buttons with delayed
  activation, reordering, drag'n'drop and mouse wheel cruising. And a few tricks
  of its own.
* Connection status tabs now feature specific context menu entries to disconnect
  and reconnect, as well as to join a channel on that connection.
* The automatic resizing of tabs in the tab bar first implemented in version
  0.19 is now optional.
* The grouping behavior of Channel List and Raw Log tabs in the tab bar has been
  improved.
* Disabling notification for a tab will now unset the active notification.
* The enabled/disabled state of the notifications for connection status tabs will
  now be remembered across sessions for configured networks.
* The speed of switching tabs in quick succession with the auto-spellchecking
  preference enabled has been improved.
* Using custom fonts in the user interface is now optional. The font used by the
  tab bar is now configurable.
* Events in the connection status tabs are now logged into separate logfiles.
* The Channel Settings dialog now includes a Ban List tab that allows viewing,
  adding and removing bans in a channel. The dialog can now be opened from the
  menu bar and chat window context menu in addition to the button in the topic
  area.
* Mode and topic handling in the Channel Settings dialog and the channel mode
  buttons have been overhauled to make them more robust and reliable.
* The number of Quick Buttons to show below the nickname list in channel tabs is
  now configurable. Additional buttons may be added or existing buttons removed.
* Konversation now supports auto-replacing words in incoming and outgoing
  messages. Regular expressions are supported. The auto-replace configuration can
  be found in the preferences dialog. The static Wiki link feature found in older
  versions has been retired in favor of an auto-replace rule.
* The search bar has been redesigned to provide a better user experience.
* The "Find Next" action will now open the search bar when there is no active
  search, matching the behavior of Konqueror and other KDE applications.
* The sorting of the nick completion list has been improved to put the last
  active user for a given completion prefix at the beginning of the list.
* The tab completion of the user's own nickname has been reenabled.
* The nick completion feature has been significantly cleaned up and made more
  reliable. A bug that could lead to an application crash during nick completion
  has been fixed.
* An option to expand the vertical size of the input box automatically when the
  text entered grows beyond the length of a single line has been added.
* The behavior of the input box on pasting text including leading or trailing
  newline characters has been improved never to cause lines being sent without
  user acknowledgement.
* The input box of connection status, channel and query tabs will now be disabled
  and the nickname list of channel tabs cleared when the respective server
  connection is closed.
* Konversation can now optionally insert a remember line whenever a tab is hidden,
  either by switching to a different tab or minimizing the window.
* Multiple consecutive remember lines will no longer be inserted.
* Remember lines can now also be inserted into the chat windows of connection
  status and DCC Chat tabs.
* The Colored Nicknames feature will now always assign the same color to the same
   nickname.
* The number of backlog lines to show in the chat window is now configurable.
* The recognition of URLs in the chat window has been improved to cope better
  with URLs containing or being surrounded by parenthesis and to exclude trailing
  dots and commas.
* Channel links following mode characters or surrounded by interpunctuation are
  now properly recognized in the chat window.
* The context menus for URLs and channel links in the topic area now match the
  context menus in the chat window.
* Multiple ignore or unignore actions ordered at the same time will no longer be
  shown on separate lines in the chat window.
* The nickname context menus in the chat window, topic are and the nickname list
  will now show "Ignore", "Unignore" and "Add to Watched Nicknames" entries as
  applicable.
* A bug that could lead to the chat window nickname context menu actions ceasing
  to function after the targeted user left the channel has been fixed.
* The Server List dialog now allows connecting to a specific server in a network
  even when a connection to that network has been previously established. If that
  connection is active, a dialog box will verify whether to disconnect from the
  current server and connect to the chosen one instead, otherwise the connection
  will simply be reestablished using the newly chosen server.
* The Quick Connect feature will now properly warn when the identity to be used
  in the connection attempt is not set up properly.
* The appearance and behavior of the warning about an incorrectly set-up identity
  have been improved. A prior connection attempt will now be automatically resumed
  after the identity settings have been corrected.
* Many of the pages in the Konversation preferences dialog have been redesigned
  and rewritten for improved consistency, reliability and clarity. The general
  layout of the dialog has been improved as well.
* The naming of certain actions in the Configure Shortcuts dialog has been
  improved to make them easier to recognize outside of their normal context in
  the application interface.
* Numerous improvements to keyboard navigation have been made.
* The nickname list now longer allows drag'n'drop of channel or user links from
  the chat window onto list entries, as a DCC transfer of those data sources
  cannot succeed.
* The preference to show or hide the real names of users in the nickname list will
  now be applied immediately.
* The columns of the nickname list will no longer resize erratically when the
  preferences to show or hide real names and hostmasks are changed at runtime.
* A bug that could lead to nicknames being sent as messages when double-clicking
  a selection of multiple nicknames in the nickname list has been fixed.
* The placement of actions in the application menus has been improved.
* The shown/hidden state of the application menubar will now be remembered across
  sessions. When the menubar is hidden, a menu action to show it again will now be
  added to the chat window context menu.
* The "Close All Open Queries" menu action is now be disabled properly when there
  are no open queries.
* A bug that could lead to the "Close All Open Queries" menu action failing to
  properly close all open queries has been fixed.

  improved not to interfere with each other and provide more useful information.
  Also, the status bar lag info section is now updated more consistently to avoid
  jumping around of the other status bar sections.
* A bug that could lead to a wrong nickname count being shown in the status bar
  of channel tabs has been fixed.
* Repeated triggering of the "Open URL Catcher" menu action will now properly
  show and hide the URL Catcher tab.
* The warning about pasting text with multiple lines can now be properly disabled
  and reenabled from the Warning Dialogs preferences page.
* A bug that could lead to IRC bookmarks showing up as actions in the Configure
  Shortcuts dialog has been fixed.
* A bug that could lead to changes of the global KDE icon set not being applied
  to the tab bar close buttons immediately has been fixed.
* A bug that caused the application window to change its horizontal size after
  opening a Query to a user with a very long hostmask has been fixed. The DCC
  Chat and query tabs now use the same heading style as channel tabs.

  system tray.

Commands
* The 'Now Playing' script invoked via the /media command alias now features
  support for XMMS and KSCD as well as improved support for untagged media files
  playing in Amarok. Support for non-ASCII encodings in file names and meta tags
  has been improved as well.
* New "/hop" and "/dehop" commands to grant or remove half-op status from a user
  have been added.

  the server correctly upon reconnect or in general on certain servers have been
  fixed.

  Chat was closed from the remote side has been fixed.
* Several bugs that could lead to application crashes in DCC Chat tabs after the
  server connection from which the DCC Chat originated was closed have been fixed.

Technology

  text payload. Encodings that use multiple or variable numbers of bytes per
  character are accounted for.
* The Disconnect and Reconnect menu actions and the respective input box commands

  network when choosing to connect to a specific server from the Server List dialog
  has been fixed.
* A dialog will now ask the user for an additional nickname when all nicknames
  configured in the identity where tried unsuccessfully during a connection
  attempt. This replaces the previous behavior of repeatedly appending underscores
  to the last nickname, which eventually ran into the nickname length limit on the
  server.
* A bug that could lead to unnecessary nick changes immediately after connecting
  to a server has been fixed.
* A bug that could lead to Konversation trying to auto-identify multiple times
  upon connect on certain servers has been fixed.
* A bug that could lead to Konversation not picking up on users leaving a
  channel without providing a part or quit message on UnrealIRCD servers has been
