21 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,

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

57     ports).
58     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
59     breakage.
60 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
61     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

76     problem.

210 root 1.63 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
211 elmex 1.62 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
212     become visible again.
213     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

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