Requirements:

What's New in This Release:
· 1. Made the settings dialog appear to open faster and also disabled the "apply" button until a setting was changed
· 2. Made the opening of URLS open a new window/tab in default browser rather than using the currently active one
· 3. Changed some custom messagebox icons to display exclaimations rather than questions in some instances
· 4. Some under-hood tuning to the nicklist and other various functions
· 5. Added close, restore down and minimize buttons to toolbar when windows are maximized
· 6. Fixed a problem that caused a GPF from a change in previous version
· 7. Fixed a small display bug when parsing ##,####,## combinations
· 8. On connecting/disconnecting using toolbar, made it reset focus back to the inputbox
· 9. Fixed a small error with disconnecting with a socks5 proxy
· 10. Increased packet size capability to 12288 for DCC
· 11. Added the default accept file extensions in the configuration file as these were missing which caused DCC not to accept files without going through the settings dialog and adding them
· 12. Made all files default to the users app data folder as per Microsoft's recommendations for XP/Vista
· 13. Fixed a coding error that caused "More Windows" to appear in the window menu more than once in some cases
· 14. Added multi-select capability to adding files on media's playlist
· 15. Inserted current playlist name in saving a playlist
· 16. Added Ctrl+A select all text to other textboxes on settings dialog
· 17. Fixed a problem with closing a status window and if it was still attempting to connect to a server but timing out and retry options were set to on, it would continually try to reconnect
· 18. Fixed a bug with the window list not working after a status window was closed and re-opened (the client reuses a closed status window when a new one is created)
· 19. Changed localhost and /dns functions to asynchronous, now they DON'T hang the application whilst trying to resolve an unresolvable host
· 20. Fixed a bug that caused it to reconnect twice when using /server command if already connected
· 21. Reduced the size between server connection and nick on statusbar, added a clock to show current time and changed the icon for uptime
· 22. Changed the more windows list to a treeview with icons so its easier to distinguish between server connections
· 23. Fixed a bug with the channel properties/modes dialog setting limit and key values in wrong order, eg: if you set the key value first then the limit value, the key value would end up being the limit value. Also delete some other code from it that was causing another problem
