The most obvious fix is the picture browse button, which didn't work in the provided Autopackage for KMess 1.5. Contact pictures can be displayed the contact list too, and the chat window gained support for spell checking.
File transfers have become stable while operating at full speed. The chat windows received some final updates, and the notification balloons have had a total makeover to make use of native KDE popups. This release adds the ability to send custom emoticons, and has the necessary improvements to make it stable, polished, and worth releasing.
This release fixes some critical issues in 1.5-pre1. The most important bugfixes are better support for direct file transfer connections and links in the chat window. There are also some nice improvements, like file transfer previews and "now playing" information. The chat window has some new features. Writing links as slashdot.org or dot.kde.org works as well. It's possible to disable the shaking effect of a nudge.
This is a preview release for some newly added
features. These include fast file transfers, the
ability to receive custom emoticons and winks,
support for offline IM messages, the ability to
receive and send nudges, the ability to set and
see personal status messages, rich colorful chat
styles, different emoticon themes, and visually
appealing improvements to the user interface.
Crashing bugs were fixed. This release also fixes
problems with the font selection in the settings
dialog, contacts without a display picture, and
new contacts adding you while you're online. A
translation for Slovenian has been added.
