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

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

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

78     problem.

211 root 1.64
212 root 1.63 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
213 elmex 1.62 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
214     become visible again.
215     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
216     leading to a naughty memory leak

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