AtarICQ 0.171 is released

Hi all,

Following the 0.170 release in June earlier this year, there is now a
new aICQ release ready for download.
A good deal of small issues have been sorted out but there are a
couple of additions made this time too.

You can download the new release here:

http://www.ataricq.org


Compared to the previous official release:

* A number of minor bugs sorted

* In some popup menus it was not possible to select an entry in case
either contact list or msg window was also open. Fixed now.

* Fetching of contacts from the server side list had accidently been
disabled in 0.170. It works now, but this needs to be reimplemented
in the future.

* Found and fixed a small bug that would result in form_wbutton() not
being
used under MagiC for handling of mouse clicks in background.

* AtarICQ now use AV_STARTPROG instead of VA_START when:
1. Asking AV-SERVER to launch the Colour Selector (In Prefs./Contact
list)
2. Asking AV-SERVER to replay sound sample files
3. Asking AV-SERVER to display history file (CTRL+H)
4. Asking AV-SERVER to display the help file (HELP)<br>
(This should be good news to people who use other desktops than
Thing)

* A right click on an empty place in contact list will open up the
popup menu
with a listing of contacts, allowing you to "Create TAB for <nick>".
(Also available through CTRL+T)

* All popup menus that have window titles will now also have a CLOSER
widget.
Also, these popups can now also be moved like any other GEM window.

* Using TAB or UP/DOWN-ARROW to jump to next text edit field in a
dialog now
works better under MagiC. SHIFT+TAB will now move focus backwards.
Also,
when we hit the last (or first, depending on TAB-direction) editable
object
of the dialog, focus will not wrap back to the first (or last)
editable
object. (This is in fact a workaround for MagiC's limited
implementation of
FORM_KEYBD)

* Last AtarICQ release had a bug in the keyboard evaluation code that
prevented user to type chars that required ALT-combinations.
Should be OK now.

* Adapted aICQ to some server changes on the ICQ-servers, making the
logging in
process a tad faster, and the updating of the contact list a lot
smoother during it.


Have fun, and please don't hesitate to send feedback!
I hope there are a bunch of people out there still using the program,
is that so? :)
