July 16th, 2010· This release patches a major bug that was introduced on the 1.6.X line--when SLiteChat loses connection to the server and times out, a dialog pops up informing the user that the connection was lost. However, in previous versions, that dialog would pop up so many times recursively that it was shown that this crash could render the user's computer completely inoperative.
October 29th, 2009· This release adds the ability to connect to a different grid.
· It improves the timer resolution, which should improve chat lag (especially in group chat).
June 17th, 2009Features:
· You can now turn off and on the Friends and Groups lists.
· When logging in, you can now specify your starting sim instead of being forced to rez at your set home. You can either enter a starting SLurl or select “My Last Location” in the drop down on the login screen.
Bug Fixes:
· Fixed the problem with SLiteChat “jumping” up as the current window when you receive IM traffic and SLiteChat was no longer the top level window. It now behaves like any other chat client and quietly flashes the task bar (or makes the icon jump up and down in the dock on Mac OS/X).
Known Issues:
· Still do not have proper group support yet. This means I have to further hack on the SL code tree and figure out how to 1) join a group chat [or start on], 2) leave a group and 3) search for groups to join.
· The Mac OS/X client may crash when you try to edit the font. Or it will exhibit strange behavior.
· When restarting SLiteChat, the state of the docked Friends and Groups lists windows are not remembered and revert to normal state.
June 14th, 2009New Features:
· A notification feature is present which will check the version available on my site and will notify you if there is an update available for download.
Bug Fixes:
· On Mac OS/X if you minimized the application to the dock, or switched to the background, new IM traffic would cause it to pop up out of the dock and pop in front of other windows. This is fixed. In Win32/Linux, however, the taskbar icon will flash if SLiteChat is not the top level window.
Known Issues:
· Still do not have proper group support yet. This means I have to further hack on the SL code tree and figure out how to 1) join a group chat [or start on], 2) leave a group and 3) search for groups to join.
