konversation 1.2-rc1 has been released!

October 03, 2009

After a pleasantly uneventful two weeks with beta1, this release candidate for our first KDE 4 stable release brings a handful of bugfixes that, while definitely worth having, are fortunately none too scary. We thus expect the final Konversation 1.2 release to follow in the very near future.

Changes from 1.2-beta1 to 1.2-rc1:

• Fixed the scrollbar thumb not remaining at the bottom when the chat text view is resized (such as when the window is resized or the input bar increases in height after typing more than one line with auto-expand mode enabled).
• Fixed a bug that could cause the progress bar for DCC file transfers not to be updated when “Fast DCC send” was enabled.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when resuming an incoming DCC file transfer.
• Fixed characters that require the Alt Gr modifier to be typed (such as the ‘@’ symbol in German keyboard layouts, for example) not causing keyboard focus to move to the input line when typed while the chat text view has keyboard focus and thus not showing up in the input line.
• Fixed a bug causing both the link and the marker or remember line to be selected when a line is appended directly after a link that has just been clicked.
• Fixed a bug causing the automatic scroll-down not to work when more backlog is replayed than the viewport can show at once at channel join.
• The “Advanced Modes” listing in the “Modes” tab of the Channel Settings dialog will now properly vertically expand as the dialog is resized even to a very large height.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash while manipulating a channel’s ban list.
• Fixed a bug causing the moving of child tabs of a network tab in the treelist version of the tab bar not to work using the keyboard shortcuts, context menu actions or “Window” menu actions.
