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

54     ports).
55     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
56     breakage.
57 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista

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

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