Pre-release checklist:
__ KMESSDEBUG removed
__ Optimization level set

2003-05-04
  * Fixed a problem with URL parsing.

2003-04-29
  * Increased sendable message size to 1400 UTF-8 chars.  Time to look at PGP encryption
    of messages?

2003-04-28
  * Auto-reply wasn't working.  Now it is.  I'll take credit for fixing it if it stays fixed!
  * Changed "hasMouse" to "isActiveWindow".  Seems to work.
  * Fixed a bug (that I caused) with the status action not showing the right status.
  * Fixed up Account to remove some of old QCString stuff.

2003-04-27
  * Made the contact list super-wide, unscrollable to fix chinese name-splitting.
  * Cast QListViewItem* to ContactListViewItem* in group.cpp's updateItemIdentifier
  * Hopefully fixed a bug in file receiving, where if the transfer doesn't work, it tries
    to delete the app twice.  (It shouldn't do that, anyway, but still...)
  * Changed noBytesWritten to an int to avoid truly weird error messages.
  * Fixed a bug where UI settings were reset if the settings were opened after the changes.
  * Changed parent of the font and colour selectors in the chat window to the chat
    window itself, rather than "global", which causes the main window to pop
    inexplicably to the front when these dialogs are opened.

2003-04-25
  * Removed a bad utf8 from transferfile.cpp and sendfile.cpp
  * Fixed < showing as &lt;, thanks to my earlier trying to make
    it so html things like &lt; wouldn't be shown as <.

2003-04-23 (NZST)
  * Fixed group adding and removing.
  * Added Arend's background centering patch.
  * Made font effects optional, renamed "magic" to "effects" ( :p, hey,
    after writing "effects" for all the options, I couldn't resist ).

2003-04-22 (NZST)
  * Transparency in list items so that we can properly use a pixmap background in the list
    (still buggy)
  * Fully working "transparency"
  * Updated kmess desktop and background.png, added MSG length fixes.

2003-04-21 (NZST)
  * Fixed clicking of URLs with ? marks in them, by adding a pseudo-protocol
    kmess://, so that internal URLs can be distinguished from URLs with ? marks in chats
  * Added some #ifndef xxx_H that were missing
  * Background colour of selected QListViewItems is now set correctly
  * The relavent chat window comes to the front if you try to start a chat
    with someone you're already in a chat with.

2003-04-19
  * The user's "typing" status is reset when a message is received.
  * fprintf's removed from "ChatWindowInterface".
  * Users can now start invisible.
  * Added the error message "you can't start a chat with someone while you
    are invisible".  Guess how I came to add that one.
  * Tried to have the contact list show a background picture.  It isn't working.

2003-04-18
  * A password dialog is shown if the user's password is blank.
  * There is no longer a fixed number of contact frames, and contacts
     who have left the chat go to the bottom of the list in the sidebar.
  * Some experimental iso encoding decoding stuff from KMail
     (the code looks horrible, but that's how it came, *sigh*)

2003-04-17 (NZST)
  * File send cancel bug fixed. (thanks to Lin Haoxiang)
  * Cured popup minimised/open normal bug when people start new chats
    (a little hacky - hide then reopen)
  * Possibly fixed problem where popups don't appear in certain circumstances...
  * New status icons from Dave Vignoni
  * Turned off scaled contents so the status icon doesn't become pixellated in the
    sidebar.

2003-04-03 (NZST)
  * Added some experimental parsing of *, _ and / around characters into
    bold, underline, italic.  Is currently not optional, interface will come
    later!

2003-03-31
  * Fixed is so that when contacts' pictures are changed, the chat window is
    updated immediately.

2003-03-30
  * Fixed the no-cursor problem.

2003-03-29

  * Fixed application message stuff.
  * Mike's redone ContactListViewItem
  * Size fixes etc to above

  * Added a "show offline contacts" option.

2003-03-28

  * Disabled the friendly name edit in the settings when the user is not
    online with that account
  * Removed the "rename contact" action from the code entirely.
  * Added the contact's email address to the properties dialog (since the
    tooltip doesn't work for some people)
  * Changed account to use a "dirty" flag when the account is modified,
    so hopefully my two simultaneous accounts can be changed independently.

- Contacts can be renamed and notifications can be set on a contact-by
  -contact basis
- Redesigned chat window
- In-place group renaming (?)

  * Fixed the contact frame extra space issue

2003-02-10
  * Changed is so that if a contact's name changes, the contact is renamed
    in MSN's list (to avoid names reverting to contact's handles)
  * Thanks to MSN's flakiness, today, fixed some problems with disconnecting
    and reconnecting after an error.

2003-02-09
  * Fixed that ContactFrame tooltips used "tr" instead of "i18n"...
    too late for translators, though.
  * Fixed KMessInterface property saving.
  * Fixed autologin

2003-02-07
  * Feature freeze in effect
  * Fixed the layout of the contact properties box.

    emoticons.  Made the contact font choosers toggle with the "use contact
    font" check box.
  * Updated the emoticon to reflect the fact that .kmess/emoticons is no
    longer used.
  * Changed contact extension to guess files from the home directory, not
    .kmess/whatever.
  * Changed the system tray widget to try to avoid the funny-looking "offline"
    icon I get at startup.  It only partially worked.
  * Added account deletion
  * Fixed chat window font + color updating.

    KDialogBase
  * Made is so the "new message" sound is played if the user receives a system
    or application message in the chat.
  * Fixed chat window flashing (which I broke in the first place)
  * Fixed "InvitedContact" picture path.

2003-02-05
  * Fixed the transfer progress dialog to scale all transfers to 1000,
    hopefully the problem of the progress dialog and very large numbers.
  * Changed some of the text... "handle" to "email", added "or is invisible"
    to the switchboard chat with an offline contact.
  * Changed the "contact is online" balloon to use a light green color
    (because it's my program and that's how I want it!)
  * Converted the dialogs to use KDialogBase.  The default sizes are still iffy.

  * Made the balloon m_caption text black.
  * Made "new contact" use the file new icon and moved the separator in the
    actions menu to after "new group"
  * Fixed balloon crashiness ("close" now hides the balloon - the timeout
    deletes it.)
  * Fixed some send/receive code (hopefully).
  * Put some space between the contact picture and buttons in the contact frame.
  * Added documentation from 0.9.8, assuming everything goes well with "commit".
  * Added translation files.

2003-02-03
  * Returned to Kopete's balloon, then modified its functions.  Modified
    PopupNotification's closeBalloon to avoid some crashiness.
  * Improved the iso character name parsing in MsnConnection, applied it to
    an email's subject as well as sender.
  * Stopped deleting ContactActions - the source of much on-exit crashiness.
  * Ctrl+T can now be used to close the contact sidebar in the chat window.
