7 root 1.172
8 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
9     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control
10     font selection.
11 root 1.181 - change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful".
12 root 1.182 - update BDB and EV in win32 builds to work around the event loop creation bug.

22     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
23 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
24 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to

28 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
29 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista

31     ports).
32     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
33     breakage.
34 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista

48     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
49     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
50     problem.
51 root 1.162

146     - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
147     2.54+).

186     become visible again.
187     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

190     deep red :-)
191 elmex 1.60 - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
192     (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
