## Version 1.2.16 (October 31, 2010)

### Behaviour

 * Updated most country flags (#599)
 * All messages should now be properly timestamped in the log (#602)
 * Saving user pictures now appends a timestamp so pictures aren't overwritten

### Features

 * Foobar support for NowPlaying (#644)

### Bugs

## Version 1.2.15 (February 16, 2010)

### Behaviour

 * Changed the description for our .exe files so it shows up as Nicotine+ in
   firewalls (ticket #498)
 * When using an upload slot limit, uploads that don't start within 30 seconds
   are no longer counted as a used slot. This stops a single faulty user from
   preventing other connections
 * The clear button in the upload view now clears erred transfers too
 * Unhide user info tab when a new userinfo is received

 * Now-Playing support for Banshee

### Bugs

 * Collapse mode in upload/download didn't work for newly added files, wasn't
   remembered with restart (ticket #205)
 * The packing/unpacking of network messages has been made more explicit. This
   should make Nicotine+ less likely to fail on different processor types and
   operating systems (Tickets #486 #493 #518 #540 #548)
 * Double quotation marks weren't filtered from filenames on Windows systems
 * Ban list got unintentionally deleted sometimes (Ticket #519)
 * "Show IP" didn't not work on the userinfo page (Ticket #522)
 * Wishlist searches would stop working if the setting "Reopen search tabs" was
   disabled and the user closed the search tab (Ticket #552)
 * Incoming RoomSearch raised exceptions

### Translations

 * \>\<((((*\> updated the French translation
 * djbaloo updated the Hungarian translation


## Version 1.2.14 (October 4, 2009)

### Behaviour

 * A corrupt configuration file will no longer make Nicotine+ fail on startup (ticket #483)
 * Multiple shares can now be loaded from the harddrive at the same time

### Features

 * Support for UPnP through MiniUPnPc (ticket #230)

### Bugs

 * Search failed to work on certain combinations of OS and processor (ticket #486)
 * Implemented our own filelist iterator, dramatically reducing the amount of
   CPU cycles needed to open filelists. Thanks goes to Nick Voronin (ticket #480)
 * Bitrates for Musepack audio were scanned incorrectly
 * Saving file lists from users with slashes in the name didn't work
 * Filesize was incorrect for files around 2 gigabytes and up in userbrowse.


## Version 1.2.13 (September 22, 2009)

### Behaviour

 * Download queue is stored independently from the normal configuration file (ticket #467)
 * Non-working connections are cleaned up more aggressively (ticket #473)

### Features

 * Themes can now use a range of image types, including SVG
 * Ownership of private rooms is now displayed
 * Search chatroom logs by pressing F3
 * ASF Support in case Mutagen is used
 * The location of Nicotine+ is restored on startup
 * Rudimentary download rate limiter
 * The NowPlaying code for Audacious now supports audtool2 as well

### Bugs

 * Notifications failed when a user had <> in the name
 * Highlight icon kept on blinking with detached windows
 * Fixed links in the Help menu that didn't work (ticket #459)
 * A few different GUI related bugs that should make Nicotine+ much more
   responsive and use less CPU: Startup time reduced when there is a queue,
   queueing many items at a timer, pressing buttons like "Clear Finished" and
   "Abort User's Upload(s)"
 * ...and lots of tiny bugs

### Translations

 * Žygimantas updated Lithuanian translation
 * Kenny updated Dutch translation
 * Nils updated Hungarian translation


## Version 1.2.12 (May 26, 2009)

### Behaviour

 * RGBA mode is no longer on by default, to use it pass the --enable-rgba flag when starting Nicotine+
 * On Windows, configuration files are now stored in the user's Application Data folder instead of the installation folder (bug #330)
 * The configuration screen for shares has been rearranged in order to make it more logical (bug #341)
 * Support for Mutagen has been added. This will result in more accurate information about bitrates and lengths (bug #259)
 * Icons have been replaced, the alt-tab icon is increased.
 * Most external calls now support pipes
 * Improved German (bug #394) and French translation (thanks goes to \>\<((((*\>)
 * The dependency for PyVorbis has been removed in favour of Mutagen (bug #409)
 * Notification popups will no longer stack but a single popup will be updated

### Features

 * Built-in Webbrowser (MozEmbed)
 * Ignore by IP
 * Windows components have been improved
 * The language selection now uses normal names instead of abbreviations (bug #332)

 * Hash checking to eliminate duplicates. When a file name conflict arises after a download finishes both files are hashed
   to make sure the new file is not identical to the old one.
 * Public Room support has been added
 * The amount of tracked and displayed search results is now limited, which should allow nicotine+ to cope better with overly
   generic search terms. Internally a maximum of 1500 are recorded, of which a maximum of 500 are shown. The other 1000 can be
   retrieved by using the filters. (bug #284)
 * Notebook tabs can be reordered and hidden, and these settings will be remembered.
 * Search results are now limited. There are two different limits:
   1) The show limit. This is the amount of results shown in the search tabs
   2) The store limit. This is the amount of results stored internally. This is useful when using search filters
   These limits are configurable from the configuration screen. (bug #284)
 * Nicotine tries to rename itself from 'python' to 'nicotine' for programs like 'ps' (requires procname module) and 'pkill' (bug #355)
 * 'Remember choice' option in the quit confirmation dialogue
 * It is possible to ignore people based on their IP address
 * Import warnings are now shows in the log window as well as in the console (bug #381)
 * New logging functionality, which means no more messages should get lost in the console
 * You can change your password now (bug #424)
 * Misc. improvements to transfer handling
 * Tab completion can be done by in-line replacement instead of dropdown list
 * Transfer views now have a 'Place in line' column

### Bugs

 * The Danish translation is now stored under 'da'
 * Fixed sorting of percentage (bug #322)
 * A number of typographical errors have been corrected (bug #334 and #335)

 * Repaired sayprivate function from the pluginsystem
 * The Windows versions now comes with jpeg62.dll (bug #342)
 * The word '-' is now filtered from search queries (bug #367)
 * Handling of word wrapping of extremely long words is improved
 * Tray icon menu on OSX

 * Tabs can be closed using the middle mouse button
 * Usernames can be copied from the channel list (right click, select the
   username from the menu)
 * Added a popup that will inform users in case a local port cannot be bound
 * Connections will be dropped when the maximum is approached, decreasing the
   chance for "IOError" messages

### Bugs

 * Fixed a bug with tuple error message causing a traceback
 * Fixed a translation bug, caused by tabs positions top, left, etc that caused
   settings dialog to not work properly
 * Fixed rhytmbox support with "Now Playing" (gallows)
 * Fixed Audacious support with "Now Playing" (gallows)
 * Fixed sending out the wrong username with search results
 * Updated all server references to the new server

### Buddylist

 * Radio buttons now allow the buddylist to be toggled as always visible, in own
   tab, or in the chatroom tab.

### General Changes

 * The Edit menu has been broken into Edit, View and Shares menus
   (similar to Enr1X's patch http://nicotine-plus.org/ticket/231 )
   Also fixed the duplicate Alt-B hotkey (hide flags is now Alt-G).
 * Committed QuinoX's patch for case-insensitive nick completion (#252)

### Chat Rooms

 * Added Server Message 141, enables Private Chat Room Invitations and thus
   allows those you invite to get past the annoying server message that warning
   when a user you've invited 'hasn't enabled private room add'.
 * Blocking a user's IP address is now easier with the addition of a chatroom
   popup menu item
 * Private Rooms: You can now create private rooms via the roomslist popup menu
   and add users to your private rooms via any chatroom user popup-menu. You can

   private room. This feature is currently available on the testing server only.

### Search

### Settings

 * Upload and Download transfer lists now have customizable double-click options
   in Transfers->Events.
 * A Backup config menu item was added to the Edit menu. This will backup your
   Nicotine+ config and config.alias (if it exists) into a BZ2 archive. If you
   cancel the backup filename saving process, an archive with the format
   'config backup YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.tar.bz2' will be created.
 * Visible colors have been added to the Colour settings (for those who don't
   read hexadecimal).
 * Separate fonts for Search, Transfers, Browse and a font for all other lists
   can now be set.

### Translations

## Version 1.2.9 (September 22, 2007)

### Licensing

### General Changes

 * Config menu items that were in the File menu moved to the new Edit menu
 * Added credits and license note to About Nicotine dialog.
 * Disable many widgets (entries, buttons, lists) when disconnected from server
 * User tabs have right-click popup-menus in private, userinfo and userbrowse.
 * libnotify support added (patch by infinito ticket #176 )
   notification-daemon, libnotify and python-notify required
 * Added a 10 second cooldown between responding to Userinfo and Usershares
   requests from the same user (to mitigate damage from DOS attacks and simple
   accidents)

 * Close buttons on tabs no longer forced to 18x18px
 * Close buttons are dynamically added and removed when toggled in settings

 * Merged Amun-Ra's 'Country flag column in Chatroom userlists' (this is a new
   feature on the testing server) but works with manual IP lookups with GeoIP.

   used instead of GeoIP if they are available.
 * Simplified GeoIP module loading

### User Info

 * Added popups to user's interests lists (search, add and remove interests)
 * Added a zoom and save popup menu to the Userinfo image.

   "View Metadata of File(s)" popup menu item. From this window, you can also
   download file(s) or initiate browsing of the current file's user's shares.
