• 10/08/2002 - Gyach v0.9.0 released. v0.9.0 is the first version of Gyach to support Gtk v2 in addition to Gtk v1.2.x. Gyach will default to using Gtk v2 if it is installed on your system and will use the new GtkTextView widget for the main chat text. If you want to revert to the old Gtk v1.2.x interface look, run "./configure --disable-gtk_v2" and recompile. Along with the Gtk v2 widget change, several new features were added when compiled with Gtk v2: underlined urls; paned/split chat text window; and the ability to display graphical smileys and avatars in chat text. New features and changes available to both Gtk v2 and v1.2 users are: no auto-ignore for "first post is url" if url is Gyach or curphoo link; / commands and aliases are now tab-completable; fixed couple buffer over/under-flows; chatter list is now cleared when you /disconnect; replaced GtkFixed widget with GtkLayout on setup screen to cure some display problems; added preliminary simple tab-completion of filenames when following a ! or !! at the beginning of a line or when started with / in the middle of a line; fixed bug in mute_check which was checking ignore list instead of mute list; now processes 2nd/3rd/etc. chatter list packet that yahoo sends when you join a room if it is very full; ! and !! in PM sessions; and auto-ignore for users who /invite flood you. For a full list, see the ChangeLog.

• 9/11/2002 - Gyach v0.8.3 released. This version fixes quite a few more bugs as well as adding new features such as: case-insensitive sorted user list; verbose auto-ignore that tells you why a user was ignored so you can fine-tune those regex settings; added friend/buddy names to list of names that can be tab-completed; status bar shows count of users in room beside room name; limit PMs to friends, users in room, both, or all users; title of PM windows changed to display * at beginning if a new message has been received and [TYPING] if the other user is typing a new message; auto-ignore and auto-mute on multi-posts are now settable limits; and a few other small enhancements.
• 9/7/2002 - Gyach v0.8.2 released. This version fixes quite a few bugs. It also includes a rewrite of the username tab-completion code to work better plus keeps track of the last 10 users to leave the room so their usernames can be tab-completed as well as currently logged in usernames. The setup screen now has a custom color selection dialog for people who don't like the standard text colors. v0.8.2 should compile out of the box on Solaris and cygwin/win32 now. It has been run on Solaris 8 on x86, Solaris 9 on Sparc, and cygwin under Win2k using both X display mode and native windows display mode (no X server required). Instructions are in the appropriate README.* files.
• 9/1/2002 - Gyach v0.8.1 released. This fixes a few bugs along with a big one causing connection problems for some users.
• 8/31/2002 - Gyach v0.8.0 released. This is the firat non-beta release of Gyach to use Yahoo's newer YMSG protocol instead of the older YCHT protocol which has had several features "disabled" over the past year or so. Currently /invite and /roll are still broke until I figure out their packet formats.
