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