68 2008-12-05 Version 2.0: Last minor fixes round up the version 2.0 of our
69 client: The Log window can't be closed anymore by Alt+x, Also wont Alt+x or
70 other Message window operations crash the client anymore directly after startup.
71 Also the invisible/cached parts of the map are darkened even more, so that
72 invisibile parts can be distinguished from dark parts better.

79 2008-11-09 Version 0.9978: Some minor fixes:
80 The healthbar is now correctly smoothly moved. Own text in NPC dialogues are
81 emphasized now. A crash bug in the macro dialogue has been fixed. The tooltips

89 2008-09-29 Version 0.9977: A race condition has been fixed that could lead
90 to client freezes or crashes on login, especially on slower systems. The
91 smooth movement is no longer choppy. The default font for messages is now a
92 (hopefully nicer looking) proportional font. Text display has been tweaked.
93 The client no longer makes unnecessary screen refreshes and uses less CPU
94 time.

100 2008-09-05 Next version of the client: 0.9976 comes with many fixes for Mac OS X,
101 like some fixed keyboard issues on OS X. Improved the protocol with compression
102 and fragmentation, leading to more efficent bandwidth usage. Implemented crash
103 diagnostics, which are sent to the server, for easier debugging. Important fix
104 with the default resolution, which was too small. Added theming support, with some
105 basic themes. And some other minor fixes all over the place.

133 2008-05-23 Next release: 0.9972. The map cache has been extended a bit to store more
134 map changes (fixes some minor bugs). Fixed some crashbugs when the client is
135 logged out and some UI elements were used. The server XML format is now also
136 supportet in item tooltips. The keyrepeats are ignored now in some conditions.
137 And crashes when the map cache is corrupted are now prevented. Also the client
138 configuration is now stored in pretty printed JSON.

155 the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966. Fixced a grave bug

162 <em>2008-03-24 Release of version 0.9967 of the Client: A memory leak was fixed
163 where the messages in the message window were kept for ever and the client
164 consumed more and more memory. The highlighting of the chattabs is now red and
165 not blue. The history handling of the chat input will now not erase the
166 typed input if the down cursor key is pressed. A keyboard modifier display has
167 also been implemented, (for example to signal whether numlock is on,
168 which caused problems under windows). Also a bug with the layout font under
169 windows has been fixed.
