+Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.1:
+We are extremely pleased to announce Konversation's newest major release, v1.1.
+Konversation 1.1 is a special release for us in multiple ways: It's our farewell
+to KDE 3, by way of being the last major release built upon that venerable
+platform. It's also our biggest release yet, in terms of the number and
+magnitude of the changes.
+
+The additions and improvements in this release are both user-visible and under
+the hood. Some of the highlights are rewritten connection handling (robustness
+and correctness improvements, better support for IRC URLs, bookmarking and
+more), redone DCC with better UI and Passive/Reverse DCC support, a redone away
+system with the addition of auto-away support, redone and much more useful
+remember / marker line support, a new outbound traffic scheduler that is capable
+of aggressive throttling to avoid flooding while smartly reordering messages to
+improve latencies, great convenience additions like a "Next Active Tab" shortcut,
+and much, much more, along with a large number of bugfixes and tweaks to round
+things out. Note: All fixes made since RC1 are marked with a "[New since RC1]"
+label in the changelog.
+
+We're confident that this release is the best and most robust version of
+Konversation published so far, and upgrading comes highly recommended to all
+users. Enjoy!
+
+
+Text views
+* Added an option to hide the scrollbar in chat windows.
+* Don't scroll to bottom if the view was scrolled up before resizing.
+* Fixed chat views occassionally not being scrolled to the bottom at their
+  inception with long backlog appends.
+* Fixed an off-by-one error in scrollback culling.
+* Fixed a bug that lead to single leading whitespace characters in lines being
+  omitted from display in chat windows.
+* Now preserving trailing whitespace in raw log tabs.
+* Fixed display of '<' and '>' in backlog lines.
+* Fixed copy/paste with shortcuts other than the default Ctrl+C/V ones.
+* Fixed onotice display.
+* Fixed middle-click-to-open-in-new-tab on chat window URLs when Konqueror
+  wasn't running.
+* Fixed superfluous closing parenthesis being inserted after links in lines
+  which contain multiple links followed by closing parenthesis.
+* Fixed URLs with encoded hash mark %23 being incorrectly passed off to handler.
+* Fixed variable expansion causing certain URLs to be corrupted when pasted.
+* Added a "Save Link As" item to the context menu of links in the chat window.
+* Have the "Save as..." dialog suggest a file name.
+* Implemented Shift+Click to "Save as..." URLs..
+* Made the channel links context menu work in server status views.
+* Fixed nickname links in chat view messages created as a result of '/msg <nick>
+  <message>' commands erroneously prepending '->' to nicknames.
+* Fixed operations on nicknames containing "\" characters from the nickname
+  context menu.
+* Fixed query view context menus operating on the wrong nickname under certain
+  circumstances.
+* Fixed a bug that caused the "Send File..." action in the generic query context
+  menu to pick the wrong recipient after hovering the user's own nick in the
+  chat display.
+* Fixed date display not using the locale's date format.
+* Fixed IRC color parsing so that the colors gets reset to default if no color
+  numbers were given.
+* Fixed a bug that could cause the text selection in a chat window to be messed
+  up when new text was appended.
+
+Marker/Remember Lines
+* Konversation now distinguishes between manually and automatically inserted
+  marker lines, making the "show line in all chat windows" preference less
+  confusing.
+* The automatically inserted remember lines when chat windows are hidden are now
+  "sliding", i.e. there is only one per chat window, and it moves.
+* Automatically inserted remember lines will now optionally only be inserted
+  when there's actually new text being appended to the chat window (enabled by
+  default).
+* The automatic remember line will now also be inserted when the window has lost
+  focus.
+* Added an action to clear all marker lines in a chat window.
+* Improved marker lines-related preferences and terminology.
+* Improved the appearance of marker lines in the chat window.
+* Made the (marker line-related and other) identity default settings consistent
+  between the initial identity and additional newly created identities.
+* Fixed hidden join/part/quit events marking tabs as dirty, allowing multiple
+  consecutive remember lines to appear.
+* Fixed crash when minimizing or closing the application window prior to any tab
+  switch when the auto-insertion of remember lines is enabled.
+
+Input line
+* Fixed input line contents rather than actual sent text being appended to the
+  input history upon a multi-line paste edit.
+* Special characters and IRC color codes will now be inserted at the cursor
+  position rather than the end of the input line contents.
+
+Nickname list
+* Implemented an additional "Sort by activity" nicklist sorting mode.
+* Added Oxygen nicklist icon theme by Nuno Pinheiro.
+* The list of nickname list themes is now sorted alphabetically.
+* Fixed race condition when removing a nicklist theme (listview would be
+  repopulated before deletion was complete).
+* Fixed using the wrong palette for the disabled text color in the nickname
+  list.
+* Fixed moving back from the custom alternate background color to system colors
+  in the channel nickname listviews when disabling the "Use custom colors for
+  lists, [...]" preference.
+* Cleanups in the nicklist item code.
+
+Tab bar / Tree list
+* Added option to add and remove a channel from its network's auto-join list
+  from the tab context menu.
+* Added option to close tabs using middle-mouse.
+* Slightly sped up tab switching by eliminating some redundant UI action state
+  updates.
+* Channel tabs will no longer close when kicked, but rather grey out on the tab
+  bar and offer context menu actions to rejoin.
+* Channel and query tabs will now grey out on the tab bar when disconnected and
+  no higher priority notification is present. Channel tabs will only ungrey if
+  and when the channel is successfully rejoined after reconnect; query tabs
+  ungrey immediately once reconnected.
+* Display tooltips for truncated treelist items.
+* Fixed forwarding keyboard events received by the treelist to Konsole widgets
+  and focus adjustment thereafter as well as generally after switching to
+  Konsole tabs by other means.
+* Fixed treelist scrollbar not picking up on new palette when the KDE color
+  scheme changes.
+* Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when the view treelist would receive
+  keypress events during application shutdown.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed a corner case where a server status item could become a
+  child item of another server status item when dragging it below an special
+  application pane item such as DCC Status or Watched Nicks Online.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed a crash when using the mouse wheel on the list within
+  ~150ms of a drag and drop operation.
+
+System Tray icon
+* Remember and recreate minimized-to-tray state across sessions.
+* Added option for hidden-to-tray startup.
+* Reload tray icons when the icon theme changes at runtime.
+* Added option to not blink the systray icon, but just light it up.
+
+Channel Settings Dialog
+* Added a search line to the ban list.
+* Fixed sorting the ban list by time set.
+* Made the ban list's "Time Set" column use KDE locale settings for the date
+  format.
+* Fixed OK'ing/Cancel'ing/closing the Channel Settings Dialog not dealing with
+  open ban list in-line edits correctly.
+* Reset topic editbox when the channel options dialog has been dismissed with
+  cancel.
+* Fixed incorrect time display in the topic history list in the Channel Settings
+  dialog.
+
+Server List Dialogs
+* Moved the "Show at application startup" option for the Server List dialog to
+  the dialog itself.
+* Auto-correct hostnames and passwords entered with preceding or trailing spaces
+  in the Server List dialog.
+* Don't allow impossible ports to be set for servers.
+* Sensible default focus in the server list dialog.
+* Fixed unresponsive, defective Server List dialog window appearing at

+* Made "Alternate Background" colorchooser disable when unneeded.
+* Fixed crash when changing the KDE color scheme while a non-chat tab is open.
+* The encoding selection now allows returning to the used identity's default
+  encoding setting.
+* Update actions on charset changes.
+* Added Notifications Toggle and Encoding sub-menu to the window menu.
+* Moved "Hide Nicklist" menu action from Edit to Settings.
+* Fixed the "Automatically join channel on invite" setting not to show an
+  inquiring dialog anyway.
+* Fixed saving the state of the invitation dialog option in the Warning Dialogs
+  preferences.
+* Added a warning dialog for quitting with active DCC file transfers.
+* Return focus to the text display widget after closing the search bar in a log
+  reader view.
+* Made pressing Return or Enter in the Log File Viewer's size spinbox apply the
+  setting, just as pressing the Return button.
+* Fixed a bug where the SSL padlock icon would be shown on a non-SSL connection
+  (and clicking would cause a crash).
+* Empty topic labels will no longer show empty tooltips, but rather none at all.
+* Added a sample 12-hour clock format string to the timestamp format combobox.
+* Timestamp format list is no longer localized.
+* Robustness improvements and less UI quirks around channel password handling.
+* Improved general layout and consistency of tab, chat view, query and topic
+  context menus. Added some missing icons.
+* Fixed some bugs of UI actions not being appropriately as their context
+  changes.
+* Fixed enabled state of "Close All Open Queries" action not being updated
+  correctly when queries are closed by way of closing a status view tab.
+* The window caption is now properly being reset when the last tab is closed.
+* Made units in spinboxen in the identity and app preferences UI more
+  consistent.
+* Minor fixes to accelerators and tabbing order in various dialogs.
+
+Commands
+* Support command aliases in network connect commands.
+* Turned parameter-less '/away' into a toggle: Sets away state with default
+  message initially, and unsets away state if already away.
+* Added an '/aunaway' command to complement '/aaway' (previously, there was only
+  '/aback').
+* Added support for '/kill'.
+* A '/join' command for an already-joined channel will now focus it.
+* Added an '/encoding' command as an alias to '/charset'.
+* '/charset' and '/encoding' now accept 'latin-1' as an alias for 'iso-8859-1'.
+* Improved messages for the '/charset' and '/encoding' commands.
+* Rewrote /me parsing to be less hackish and display usage info with an empty
+  parameter.
+* '/msg <nick>' is no longer treated as equivalent to '/query <nick>'.
+* '/msg <nick>' will now error out when lacking a message parameter.
+* '/query <recipient> [message]' will now error out when recipient is a channel.
+* Added a '/queuetuner' command to bring up the outbound traffic scheduler's
+  tuning/debug pane.
+
+Notifications
+* Seperated query messages and messages containing the user's nickname into two
+  distinct KNotify events.
+* Made the tab notification color of private messages configurable independently
+  from normal messages.
+* Don't highlight own nick on topic created by messages.
+* Fixed disabling notifications for a tab not cancelling highlight sounds.
+* Fixed a race condition where a highlight's autotext reply would outrun the
+  original line's tab notification.
+* Fixed actions in queries and DCC chats producing message notification events
+  (rather than the correct private message ones).
+* Changed the OSD screensaver check logic to work in KDE 4.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed on screen display occassionally reverting to the default
+  position when using the settings dialog to change unrelated settings.
+
+Connection handling
+* Improved behavior with regard to reusing existing connections in connection
+  attempts that provide an initial channel to join, such as command line
+  arguments, the DCOP interface, the bookmark system or irc:// links).
+  Previously, the application would have inconsistently either reused an
+  existing or created a new connection.
+* Better dialog messages in the interactive variant of the decision to either
+  reuse or create a new connection (from the Server List dialog and the Quick
+  Connect dialog).
+* Improved and more consistent display of connection names (i.e. network or
+  server host name) throughout the application.
+* Much improved irc:// URL support for connection intanciation, with support
+  added for IPv6 host names and many of the features proposed by the Mirashi
+  specification.
+* Eliminated redundant irc:// URL parsing codepaths in favor of a single one.
+* Added support for irc:// URLs to the chat views.
+* Removed "konversationircprotocolhandler" shell script. The Konversation
+  executable now understands irc:// URLs directly.
+* Initiating connections from command line arguments and options now works also
+  when the application is already running.
+* Fixed a bug that would cause a connection initiated from command line options
+  not to get past the identity validation stage when the configuration file was
+  unitialized and empty.
+* The server list dialog will now always be closed when starting Konversation
+  with command line arguments to initiate a connection, consistent with the
+  configuration-based auto-connect behavior.
+* Providing a channel in the creation of a new connection (i.e. via command line
+  arguments, the DCOP interface, the Quick Connect dialog, the bookmark system
+  or irc:// links) now consistently pre-empts the stored auto-join channel list
+  if the target of the connection is a network or the hostname is found to be
+  part of a configured network. Previously, this would only work for Quick
+  Connect and the bookmark system (which caused the infamous Sabayon user flood
+  in #kde due to their "Get Support" desktop link connecting to Freenode, which
+  in an unconfigured Konversation has #kde in its auto-join list).
+* Connections now have globally unique IDs.
+* The DCOP interface now understands connection IDs in addition to host names.
+* The scripting systems now uses globally unique connection IDs rather than
+  server host names to refer to connections, fixing a bug where scripted
+  responses were being handed to all connections sharing a hostname (which was
+  actually intentional in the absence of connection IDs, but undesirable for
+  users).
+* Improved iteration behavior over a network's server list on connection losses.
+* The "Reconnect" action now works also when Konversation doesn't consider the
+  connection to be in a disconnected state.
+* Improved the server status view messages related to reconnection attempts.
+* Consistently apply the "Reconnect delay" setting (previously confusingly named
+  "Reconnect timeout"), which wasn't done before.
+* Fixed a bug that could cause the connection process to claim that a DNS lookup
+  was successful when it actually wasn't.
+* Fixed opening bookmarks with spaces in the target address name (which may be a
+  network name, and networks may have spaces in their name).
+* Properly update the state of the "Add/Remove to Watched Nicknames" nickname
+  context menu actions when the connection isn't to a config-backed network, in
+  which case there's no way to store and make use of those list entries.
+* Fixed a crash when quitting the application with a resident connection that
+  disconnected due to an SSL error.
+* Fixed crashes in the DCOP interface if no connection was present.
+* Make the "Reconnect" action available even while ostensibly in the process of
+  connecting.
+* Fix possible crash when closing all views and subsequently creating a new
+  connection.
+* Fixed crash upon auto-connect at application startup.
+* Improved the naming of preferences related to automatic reconnection attempts
+  to be less confusing.
+* Made it possible to set the number of automatic reconnection attempts to
+  unlimited.
+* Provided better default values to the preferences related to automatic
+  reconnection attempts.
+* Fixed crash when opening a Konsole tab and Konsole was not installed.
+* Fixed allowing the user to create an infinite loop of showing the SSL
+  connection details dialog upon being presented with the invalid certificate
+  multiple choice dialog at connection time by checking "Do not ask again" and
+  then clicking "Details".
+
+Identities
+* Made it possible to set a Quit message independently from the Part message.
+* Saving a newly-created identity is no longer allowed without entering a real
+  name.
+* Apply switching the identity in the identity dialog as opened from the network
+  dialog to the network's settings.
+* Have the Edit/Delete/Up/Down buttons for the nickname list of an Identity
+  correctly change state according to the selection
+
+Away system
+* Added per-identity support for automatic away on a configurable amount of user
+  desktop inactivity and/or screensaver activation, along with support for
+  automatic return on activity.
+* Fixed the "Global Away" toggle to make sense and update its state properly.
+* Turned parameter-less '/away' into a toggle: Sets away state with default
+  message initially, and unsets away state if already away.
+* Added an '/aunaway' command to complement '/aaway' (previously, there was only
+  '/aback').
+* Broadly rewrote away management related code for improved robustness and less
+  duplication and hacks (e.g. no more abuse of multiServerCommand for global
+  away).
+
+DCC
+* Massive DCC refactoring and improved reliability.
+* Passive DCC support (Reverse DCC RECV, SEND).
+* Replaced the DCC Transfer Details dialog with a retractable transfer details
+  pane directly in the DCC Status tab.
+* Added DCC transfer average speed reading to the DCC transfer details panel.
+* The DCC Status tab now remembers its column widths across sessions.
+* Fixed duplicated quotation marks around file names in DCC transfer status
+  messages.
+* Fixed "Open File" DCC dialog remembering the last viewed location incorrectly.
+* Added an "Open Folder" button to the DCC transfer details panel.
+* Added check for whether the URL is well-formed before initiating a DCC send.
+  Fixes a bug of dragging a nickname link in the chat view onto the query chat
+  view drop target starting a DCC transfer that cannot succeed.
+* Ported the DCC code away from relying on server group IDs to refer to
+  connections, made it use connection IDs instead. Fixes potential bugs with
+  multiple concurrent connections to the same network.
+* Fixed queued DCC transfer items not picking up on download destination
+  directory changes.
+* Fixed bug leading to crash upon initiating DCC Chat when "Focus new tabs" was
+  enabled.
+* [New since RC1] New transfer items added to the DCC panel's transfer list are no
+  longer automatically selected, meaning work on other items in the list occuring
+  at the same time no longer gets interrupted.
+* [New since RC1] The "Filename:" line in the DCC panel's detailed info pane is
+  now using text squeezing to avoid an increase in minimum window width with long
+  file names.
+* [New since RC1] Failed receives now longer show 833TB/s as their transfer
+  speed.
+
+Blowfish support
+* Fixed FiSH-style +p prefix to send clear text to channel despite an encryption
+  key being set.
+* Text encoding is now being applied to the cleartext, rather than the
+  ciphertext. This fixes using characters outside the ASCII range with blowfish
+  encryption.
+* Fixed CTCP (and thus DCC) requests to nicknames for whom an encryption key is
+  set.
+* Added support for encrypted topics.
+* If an encryption key is set, a lock icon will now be shown next to the input
+  box.
+* Added a '/showkey <channel|query>' command to show the encryption key for the
+  target in a popup dialog.
+
+Auto-replace
+* Improved auto-replace behavior with multiple matches in one line (fixes
+  multiple Wikipedia links).
+* Fixed bug that could cause auto-replace to replace the wrong group of the
+  matching string.
+* Auto-replace is now case-sensitive in regular expression mode.
+* Added regular expression editor button to auto-replace preferences.
+* Fixed conditional enabling of the RegExpEditor button in the auto-replace
+  preferences page.
+
+Ignore
+* Fixed being asked twice whether to close a query upon ignoring the opponent.
+* Fixed crash when opting to close a query upon chosing to ignore the opponent
+  from the context menu of his nickname.
+
+Watched Nicknames
+* Improved robustness of the Watched Nicknames Online system.
+* The "Offline" branches in the "Watched Nicks Online" list will now be omitted
+  when there are no offline nicks for the respective network.
+* Fixed display of WHOIS spam prompted by the Watch List's WHOIS activity.
+* Connections to non-config-backed targets no longer show in Watched Nicks
+  Online.
+* [New since RC1] Actually honor the preference to enable/disable the Watched
+  Nicknames Online system, and apply it at runtime.
+* [New since RC1] Make sure the periodic Watched Nicknames Online check actually
+  starts running within the same session after adding the first nickname to the
+  list.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed a crash on quit with the Watched Nicks Online tab open and
+  there being an open connection to a network that nicks are being watched for.
+
+Channel List
+* IRC markup is now removed from content in the Channel List view.
+* Speed improvements in Channel List views.
+* Fixed keyboard accelerator collisions in Channel List views.
+* Allow higher values than 99 in the min/max users filter spin boxes in Channel
+  List views.
+
+Under the Hood / Protocol
+* Rewrote the outbound queue scheduling system to be smart enough to reorder
+  outbound traffic to reduce interactive latency while aggressively throttling
+  the rate to prevent flooding. Use '/queuetuner' to tweak.
+* Rearranged when and how auto-who is triggered upon channel join a bit, to
+  avoid excessive flooding on multiple concurrent joins in some cases.
+* Auto-Who reliability improvements.
+* Fixed auto-join with very many channels (the auto-join command would exceed
+  the maximum buffer length; it is now split into multiple commands as needed).
+* Fixed bugs around rejoining channels after reconnects related to the cause of
+  the disconnect, channel passwords and picking the actual list of joined
+  channels over the network's auto-join list.
+* Improved behavioral consistency in situations where the auto-join list is
+  preempted by a transitory auto-join channel (bookmarks, etc.).
+* Fixed bug that caused the topic state not to be cleared properly prior to
+  rejoining channels during reconnects.
+* Fixed onotice payload being cut off after the first word.
+* Changed RPL_WHOISOPERATOR handling to internationalize the common case ("is an
+  IRC Operator") and otherwise passthrough the string sent by the server.
+* Fixed parsing of alternate invite format on Asuka ircds (QuakeNet).
+* Added support for PRIVMSG from the server.
+* Support RPL_UMODEIS.
+* Announce 'k' channel mode (i.e. channel key) changes in non-raw mode as well.
+* The command part of CTCP requests is now always converted to uppercase before
+  sending, as some clients don't like lower- or mixed-case commands as the user
+  may have entered them.
+* Display mode for your nick and channels you're not in.
+* Fixed per-channel encoding settings for the channels of a network being lost
+  when the network is renamed.
+* Fixed crash when receiving actions for channels the client is not attending.
+* Made newline handling in the DCOP interface more robust, fixing a potential
+  security problem (CVE-2007-4400).
+* A few speed optimizations and memory leak fixes.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed a crash on quit during KDE logout or when quitting by
+  DCOP.
+
+Included scripts
+* Support for KMPlayer in the 'media' script (based on the window caption, as
+  KMPlayer has no proper appropriate DCOP interface).
+* Added KPlayer support to the 'media' script (also caption-based).
+* Added support for Audacious to the 'media' script.
+* Fixed problems in disk space calculation in the 'sysinfo' script caused by
+  wrapped df(1) output.
+* Added KDE 4 support to the 'sysinfo' script.
+* Removed some bashisms from the 'sysinfo' script.
+* Rewrote 'weather' script for increased reliability in error handling and
+  better readability.
+* Removed broken 'qurl' script in favor of new 'tinyurl' one.
+* Fixed the 'fortune' script not working properly when variable expansion is
+  turned off in the preferences.
+* [New since RC1] Fixed a bug in the 'media' script that caused it to break when
+  querying Audacious with audtool not being available.
+
+Packaging
+* [New since RC1] Standards compliancy fixes in the application .desktop file and
+  the nicklist icon theme .desktop files.
+
+Build
+* Fixed build with --enable-final.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1
+We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation 1.0.1,
+a maintenance release featuring notable improvements for users of right-to-
+left languages (including new Arabic and Hebrew translations), further re-
+finement of the user interface and application functionality, and fixes for
+minor defects found in the previous release.
+
+* A bug that caused left-to-right text contained in lines determined to be
+  right-to-left text to appear reversed has been fixed.
+* Whether a line is treated as right-to-left vs. left-to-right text is now
+  determined by the amount of each type of character in the line, improving
+  the user experience in chats involving bi-directional text considerably.
+* The "Edit Network" dialog has been refined for clarity and ease of use.
+* A warning dialog to prevent accidentally quitting Konversation has been
+  added.
+* The Auto Replace list can now be sorted.
+* The '/media' script command now sports improved player recognition, enhan-
+  ced and easier configurability, the ability to distinguish between audio
+  and video media as well as newly added support for kdetv. New '/audio' and
+  '/video' command aliases have been added to expose these new abilities.
+* The lower boundary of the default DCC port range has been raised from 1025
+  to 1026 to avoid conflicts with the commonly blocked Windows RPC port 1025.
+* Dismissing an OSD notification by clicking on it will now also cancel the
+  systray notification flash.
+* A new configuration file option [OSD]OSDCheckDesktopLock has been added,
+  allowing to manually disable the screensaver check in non-KDE environments
+  that do not support it, causing the OSD not to be displayed.
+* A bug that could lead to the "Switch to" sub-menu in the context menus of
+  tabs not to be updated properly upon switching tabs has been fixed.
+* A bug that caused the 'irc setBack' DCOP call not to function has been
+  fixed.
+* A bug that caused ampersands in the names of tabs not to be displayed and
+  an immediately following character to be used as keyboard accelerator has
+  been fixed.
+* A bug that caused ignoring nicknames with '[' or ']' characters in them to
+  fail has been fixed.
+* Command aliases containing regular expression syntax can no longer cause
+  built-in commands not to function.
+* A bug that caused the Konversation irc:// protocol handler not to function
+  has been fixed. Its compatibility with systems that do not use the GNU bash
+  shell as default shell has been improved.
+* A notable number of code quality improvements suggested by KDEs automated
+  quality control service EBN have been implemented.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Changes from 0.19 to 1.0
+We are extremely pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation
+1.0, a significant milestone in the lifetime of the Konversation project. This
+release includes major new functionality as well as a large amount of
+improvements to existing functionality, with an emphasis on user interface
+polish and overall reliability. Notable new features include a vertical treelist
+of tabs as an alternative to the traditional tab bar, auto-replacement of words
+in incoming and outgoing messages, an improved Channel Settings dialog now
+featuring a ban list, an optional expanding input box and many improvements to
+both DCC file transfers and DCC chats. Enjoy!
+
+
+User Interface
+* It is now possible to place the tabs on the left side of the application
+window.
+  This has been implemented as a treelist of tabs. The treelist supports all of
+  the cosmetic and interactive properties of the original horizontal tab bar,
+  including colored notifications, LED icons, (hover) close buttons with delayed
+  activation, reordering, drag'n'drop and mouse wheel cruising. And a few tricks
+  of its own.
+* Connection status tabs now feature specific context menu entries to disconnect
+  and reconnect, as well as to join a channel on that connection.
+* The automatic resizing of tabs in the tab bar first implemented in version
+  0.19 is now optional.
+* The grouping behavior of Channel List and Raw Log tabs in the tab bar has been
+  improved.
+* Disabling notification for a tab will now unset the active notification.
+* The enabled/disabled state of the notifications for connection status tabs
+will
+  now be remembered across sessions for configured networks.
+* The speed of switching tabs in quick succession with the auto-spellchecking
+  preference enabled has been improved.
+* Using custom fonts in the user interface is now optional. The font used by the
+  tab bar is now configurable.
+* Events in the connection status tabs are now logged into separate logfiles.
+* The Channel Settings dialog now includes a Ban List tab that allows viewing,
+  adding and removing bans in a channel. The dialog can now be opened from the
+  menu bar and chat window context menu in addition to the button in the topic
+  area.
+* Mode and topic handling in the Channel Settings dialog and the channel mode
+  buttons have been overhauled to make them more robust and reliable.
+* The number of Quick Buttons to show below the nickname list in channel tabs is

+fixed.
+
+Technology
+* Konversation will now properly split up very long lines into multiple messages

+the
+  text payload. Encodings that use multiple or variable numbers of bytes per

+dialog
+  has been fixed.
+* A dialog will now ask the user for an additional nickname when all nicknames
+  configured in the identity where tried unsuccessfully during a connection
+  attempt. This replaces the previous behavior of repeatedly appending

+  to the last nickname, which eventually ran into the nickname length limit on
+the
+  server.
+* A bug that could lead to unnecessary nick changes immediately after connecting
+  to a server has been fixed.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Changes from 0.18 to 0.19
+We are extremely pleased to announce the immediate release of Konversation 0.19.
+The focus
+of this release is on extending and improving upon established functionality.

+commands. A long
+list of further additions and improvements has us confident of this being the
+best version
+of Konversation yet. Enjoy!
+
+
+User Interface
+* The Server List dialog has been rewritten to allow direct manipulation of a

+across

+with
+  common character sets, greatly enhanced support for the Kaffeine media player

+better

+it
+  will be recognized as being part of the network and the respective identity
+  settings will be applied.
+* The automated reply to a highlight event can now reference the groups of the
+matched
+  pattern by the identifiers %1-%9 and the entire match by the identifier %0.
+* The CABAP IDENTIFY-MSG technology is now supported.
