165 2008-09-29 Version 0.9977: A race condition has been fixed that could lead
166 to client freezes or crashes on login, especially on slower systems. The
167 smooth movement is no longer choppy. The default font for messages is now a
168 (hopefully nicer looking) proportional font. Text display has been tweaked.
169 The client no longer makes unnecessary screen refreshes and uses less CPU
170 time.

177 like some fixed keyboard issues on OS X. Improved the protocol with compression
178 and fragmentation, leading to more efficent bandwidth usage. Implemented crash
179 diagnostics, which are sent to the server, for easier debugging. Important fix
180 with the default resolution, which was too small. Added theming support, with some
181 basic themes. And some other minor fixes all over the place.

211 logged out and some UI elements were used. The server XML format is now also
212 supportet in item tooltips. The keyrepeats are ignored now in some conditions.

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

236
237<p>
238 <em>2008-03-24 Release of version 0.9967 of the Client: A memory leak was fixed
239 where the messages in the message window were kept for ever and the client
240 consumed more and more memory. The highlighting of the chattabs is now red and
241 not blue. The history handling of the chat input will now not erase the
242 typed input if the down cursor key is pressed. A keyboard modifier display has
243 also been implemented, (for example to signal whether numlock is on,
244 which caused problems under windows). Also a bug with the layout font under
245 windows has been fixed.
