* March 20, 2002 [0.8.1]
  Fix a bug, which would sometimes prevent correct dns lookups.

* July 25, 2001 [0.8]
  This release adds non-blocking hostname lookup and connect. A progress
  bar was added which is activated while connecting. Size and position of
  the main window can now be saved. Some minor bugfixes were done.

* July 16, 2001 [0.7.4]
  Discovered another bug which would crash xconvers when receiving long lines.
  Fixed.

* July 10, 2001 [0.7.3]
  Fixes some issue on debian, so make this a debian-only release. Also
  added a gnome menu entry.

* June 27, 2001 [0.7.2]
  Added a timeout handler when connecting. Timeout is set to 90 seconds.
  Fixed a bug which would not close the connection correctly when a FIN packet
  was received.

* June 6, 2001 [0.7.1]
  Bugfix release. Fixes saving and recalling of the transmitted history and
  fixes a crash that would occur when a strangely formatted help text in a
  server was displayed. The documentation has been moved to a separate package
  called xconvers-doc-0.7.1.

* April 30, 2001 [0.7] A list of new features:
  * Now you can change all the colors of xconvers! I have added a small preview
    window, so you can change colors as much as you like, before applying it
    to the xconvers window.
  * Use your favourite pixmap to set the background of xconvers.
  * This release also adds a 'commands' entry to autologin. Any convers command
    entered here will be sent to the server after you login. Multiple commands
    should be seperated by a semicolon (';').
  * Language support is added. Only dutch language is supported for now.
  * There are more small features added. Browse the changelog if you want to
    know.

* April 18, 2001 [0.6.1] Bugfix release. Saving preferences for the first time 
  would crash xconvers when logging is left disabled. Hitting the 'Up Arrow' 
  would crash xconvers when no previous line was entered in the tx widget.
  
* March 17, 2001 [0.6] This release adds some nice configurability to xconvers.
  You can change the background color and font of the received text and enable
  or disable the menu, statusbar, and scrollbar. I have also added 'autologin'.
  Once you fill in a name and channel, xconvers will automatically login to
  your convers server the next time you connect.

* February 20, 2001 [0.5.2/3] Fixes issues when building xconvers on a debian
  system with debmake.

* December 27, 2000 [0.5.1] This minor version fixes installation problems for
  pixmaps and the manual page on non-debian systems.

* December 13, 2000 [0.5] Final version is here! Closes all bugs.
  I have added history to the transmit window and the connect dialog. History
  will be saved when you leave xconvers and recalled the next time you start it.
  The about dialog has been cleaned up.

* November 6, 2000 [0.5-beta1] Logging enabled to ~/.xconvers/hostname.log.
  Logging can be turned on/off from the preferences menu. Settings will be saved
  automatically and recalled the next time you start xconvers. Scrolling now
  works with PgUp/PgDn keys anywhere in the window. Small bugfixes.

* July 22, 2000 [0.5-alpha2] Color support added. Every user gets assigned a
  different color, up to a maximum of 10 colors. '***' messages are in red,
  the rest of them in grey. Resizing and displaying of the different dialogs
  and windows works better now.

* June 26, 2000 [0.5-alpha1] First alpha release of xconvers 0.5. This version
  is basic. Only 2 colors (sent and received messages). One line transmit and
  multiple line receive widget. Default host is 'localhost', default port is
  3600.
