Konversation 1.2-alpha6 has been released!

August 08, 2009

Konversation 1.2-alpha6 is primarily a hotfix release addressing a serious DCC crash that we unfortunately only discovered after releasing alpha5. To sweeten the offer, however, it also includes a nicer DCC tranfer list that separates incoming and outgoing transfers into distinct categories, allows you to enable/disable individual columns and saves the sort column and direction across application restarts. Furthermore, Konsole tabs may now be renamed and there’s also a fix for the handling of certain rare mode characters.

Changes from 1.2-alpha5 to 1.2-alpha6:

• The transfer list in the DCC Status tab now separates items into "Incoming Transfers" and "Outgoing Transfers" categories, using the same category headers employed in System Settings and other places throughout KDE 4.
• It’s now possible to enable/disable the display of individual columns of the transfer list in the DCC Status tab. This is remembered across application restarts.
• The sort column and direction of the transfer list in the DCC Status tab is now remembered across application restarts when using Qt 4.5 or higher.
• A "Rename Tab…" action has been added to the context menu of Konsole tabs.
• Fixed a crash when the client observes channel modes being modified that carry a parameter when used as user modes.
• Fixed a crash when an incoming active or outgoing passive DCC file transfer either timed out or was manually aborted while in "Connecting" state.”
