Update to 2.9.9.1. For Manuel.

No guarantees that it does anything more useful than the previous
version (from 2002).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ysm 2.9.9.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++ Bringing ICQ back to life ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

19th Jan 2007
+ Fixed a messages-related bug that prevented ysm from parsing received
messages. The error was triggered due to a recent protocol change (a TLV type
5 was introduced before the actual TLV type 5 with the data showed up).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ysm 2.9.9 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++ Reviving ICQ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

25th Oct 2006
+ Again, another protocol fix. A new TLV was introduced in the initial connection packages (0x8e) and that pretty much broke our client. Reviving ICQ!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ysm 2.9.8 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++ Giving life to ICQ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

12th Feb 2006
+ ICQ protocol fix. In the past few days, AOL changed the ICQ protocol a bit,
that way disabling a lot of clone clients. This fix re-enables ysmICQ. Have
fun!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ysm 2.9.7 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++ Ready for the future ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

26th Dec 2005

UIN online.

13th Sep 2005
+ New YSM_TRACE_MEMLEAK option in YSM_Config.h provides a way of tracing down
memory leaks in ysm.

3rd Sep 2005
+ fixed lots of warnings in Cygwin. ysm looks so lovely when run under cygwin..really.

19th Aug 2005
+ my 22nd birthday :) as always - it deserves a line in ysm's ChangeLog.

12 Jun 2005
+ Bug fix! reported a few months ago by a user through sourceforge's bug
system. Pager messages generated a crash. They are now received correctly.
+ Added ucs2be_decode, meaning that KOI8-R users in windows clients might now
be decoding characters correctly. This needs confirmation!

29th Apr 2005
+ patch sent by Antony Pavloff related to the TAB completion feature. The
patch fixes a few weird behaviors - Thanks Antony.

14th Apr 2005
+ win32 warnings fix. source code cleanup.

+ It's been a long time.. and this time for real. I've added a few missing checks on iconv_close, cleaning up a few warnings that showed up in MacOSX when running ysm.
+ Added support for WINALERT to non OS/2 - Windows operating systems. Now anything that supports ICONIFY/DECONIFY will have its WINALERT. Tested to run ok in MacOSX.
+ Updated ysm's website to add a few MacOSX screenshots.

11th Oct 2004
+ added a comment to new configuration files in CHARSET_TRANS and CHARSET_LOCAL  saying that for Windows console users, the default settings for the Russian language should be CHARSET_TRANS>1251 and CHARSET_LOCAL>866 since the Windows console uses the 866 codepage. Thanks to Alexey Zakharov for the headsup.
+ started fixing charset convertion support for Windows. Hope this does it for the russian users out there!

10th Oct 2004
+ been a long time! patch by Dominic Waesch. It adds the slave-colors to YSM_PrintSlaves, so that one can see the names of the slaves in the chosen color. Fixed a few strncat calls introduced with COMPACT_DISPLAY back in february 2003.

21st Aug 2004

+ patch sent by MSB: clean up for YSM_ReadLog and new tokenizer.

17th Jul 2004
+ patch sent by MSB related to colors.
a. Adds the colors TERMINAL_DEFAULT and BRIGHT_TERMINAL_DEFAULT. These set the default color the user has configured for the terminal
b. Adds the colors GRAY and BRIGHT_GRAY.
+ patch sent by MSB rewrote whole ReadSlaves function making it easier to add new slave fields in the config file. New YSM_trim function.
+ new YSM_IsInvalidPtr function that should be used in all function frames. We will use this as a wrapper to include ptr checking functions from win32 and unix (if any).
+ patch sent by MSB related to slave colors. It adds a new (optional) field to the SLAVES entries that takes a color. When a color is provided, then incoming message texts as well as the comfortable message editor will use that color. This makes communication with multiple slaves at the same time much easier, since you won't confuse incoming messages and won't accidentally send messages to the wrong slave.
+ patch sent by MSB related to status colors. Now get status-dependent coloring of the status word when a slave changes status. If you wish to override the status-dependent coloring, use the new COLOR_STATUSCHANGESTATUS option in ysm's cfg.
+ patch sent by MSB related to Charsets. Rewrote YSM_Iconv() to allow error recovery, now a corrupted charset-translated message will show <REST OF TEXT POSSIBLY CORRUPTED> instead of showing up empty as it did before.
+ patch sent by MSB turns more compiler warnings on and fixes lots of warnings we were missing due to our incompetence.
+ patch sent by Alex Samorukov (samm at os2 dot ru) fixes prompt redraw on CloseDC and in general for readline/getline support.

+ fixed crash on 'del' command. duplicate (erroneous cfg) entries in the config lead to a crash when deleting that slave name. Thanks to f00li5h for reporting the problem.
+ fix on COMMANDSFILE> . Any commands without arguments were being ignored.
+ fix for readline! the inputrc file was only being read from ~/.ysm/inputrc. If that file doesnt exist its now read from the default locations.

+ There was a mistake in YSM_Lang.h where there was a 'PORTUGUESE_BR' instead of a 'BR_PORTUGUESE', its now fixed. (Thanks to an anonymous who reported this).
+ fixed all calls to snprintf. Now -always- adding a trailing \0 byte. (This is because under WIN32 _snprintf does not always add it, even though snprintf on unix does.)
+ New 'WEBAWARE' setting in the configuration file. If set to 1, your status will be public (hence online status scripts will work).

+ replaced a realloc() call with the corresponding alloc, memcpy, free. -somehow- realloc wasn't working 100% ok in OpenBSD. probably my fault of course :)
+ added checks and fixes on saving contacts to the server, works ok for me!.
+ fix on logging, missing memset so new log entries had old stuff in it.

12th Jan 2003
+ Fixed comfortable messages input. backspace didn't allow re-editing of a previous line and if a '.' was inserted as character 81 (not as char 0) the message was sent directly.
+ Fixed YSM_Connect for the kill command. actually for any usage which specified only an ip address without a hostname to resolve.
+ small fix on showing /me actions, a double space was shown.

06th Jan 2003
+ Fixed input, sometimes prompt was eraseable.
+ Added a new prompt look. In AFK now the new amount of messages are shown.

03th Jan 2003
+ Started working on File transfers (first packet works at least ;P)
+ Fixed slave cycling bugs in <tab>
+ added a new fingerprint -> Mirabilis ICQ lite
+ fixed Proxy configuration for Win32.
+ Fixed Scrolling (Page up/Page down) for Win32.
+ fixed proxy authentication code.

31th Dec 2002
+ Almost New Year!
+ Now the 'msg' command takes any amount of dests! as in msg a,b,c,d message.
+ Multiple line messages are now fixed (\n chars were filtered)

30th Dec 2002
+ New version check fix by fgsch ! pre-releases are now marked as pre-releases.
+ Huge cleanup, the commands array is now a linked list, so I kinda organized all linked lists into YSM_Lists.c and .h
+ Fixed tab slaves cycling
+ Added support for the 'z' command (or minimize) in unix too! (for xterms)

26th Dec 2002
+ Changed maximum message len! Seems we are now able to send messages
up to 2547 bytes before the server starts ignoring them!.
+ Added a <press any key to exit> to YSM_Exit on win32.

21th Dec 2002
+ Added proxy authentication scheme! Thanks to Federico Renolfi for the diffs!
+ Fixes for QNX! pthreads do exist but integrated in the libc!.
  Thanks to Vincent Lonngren for the patch.
+ Win32 compilation fixes and code cleanup.

17th Dec 2002
+ Now failing connects dont neccesary exit ysm.
+ handlign SIGPIPE signal to YSM_Reconnect on unix systems.
+ new 'reconnect' command, guess for what ;)
+ removed ASK_DOWNLOAD, won't be around no more.
+ fixed config file comments

12th Dec 2002
+ Tried to fix reconnects, the thing is that a closesocket was issued
as soon as the connection went down, so the FIN couldnt reach destination
its now sent every time reconnect gets out of the sleep.
+ Added timestamp on the YSM Sent Msg line
+ Added the STATUS of the remote slave on the YSM Sent Msg line
+ Fixed TYPES, now we have int8, int16, int32 (_t) and u_ everything.
+ Added the new reconnect command for reconnecting manually too.
+ Fixed a bug on UPDATENICKS, if you had a key with the slave you were updating, it got lost :) now it doesn't.
+ Fixed proxy request issue, if it found an internet explorer setting, just hitting enter would exit the proxy configuration

09th Dec 2002
+ new UPDATENICKS> setting. If set to 1 (default) your slave names will be
updated whenever you run a whois on them with their current nick names.
+ fixed clonning problems in your contact list, there was a problem when
adding duplicate slaves, it would mark the slave as downloaded and then throw
an error when deleting the slave.
+ mostly code cleanup, lots.
+ Fixed an UNK status code bugging around, now you probably see more people online when doing 'w' ;) it was an unknown NA status.
+ Fixed the status command, it wasnt recognizing invisible, instead, it was turning into online or something else.

6th Dec 2002
+ ######### YSM FIRST BIRTHDAY ############ YSM IS ONE YEAR OLD! ######

01th Dec 2002
+ Fixed direct connections, seems we might be able to start doing something.

30th Nov 2002
+ Fixed autoafk mode, it now uses the default specified in the cfg, not the YSM_AFK_MESSAGE definition in YSM.h
+ Fixed message receiving of messages type B and C (type B can be a url, etc and type C is a new type of message)

28th Nov 2002
+ fixed messaging problems.
+ fixed autoafk, the default message used was the last one, not the default.

27th Nov 2002
+ Fixed reconnects on win32. actually on non win32 too.
+ updated ysm's name shown.
+ fixed some thread sleeps allowing faster network times.
+ added a thread for cycle, it should realise of disconnects with
the keepalive packet and automatically reconnect.
+ fixed the 'r' and 'a' commands (they just sent the first argv of the specified message if any)
+ added a space after slave/command completition

26th Nov 2002
+ Commands now get autocompleted when using <tab>! yeah!
+ re-wrote tab handling so bugs might show up.
+ fixed a bug where unfunctioned commands were calling nulled functions.
+ Iconv fixes sent by Yuri Y. Bushmelev. offline messages are now converted too.

25th Nov 2002
+ Ok! I added a new statistical feature. If the user agrees, YSM will send
Client information (only the UIN by now) for having ysm statistics, when
logging in the icq network. Its fully disable by the configuration file
or by typing 'no' when creating ysm's cfg file for the first time.
Its default value anyways is OFF. so don't go paranoid!
+ Fixed /me where a remote user with a short nick could impersonate someone else as in "/meave says you suck" if the slave was called "d" you would read "dave says you suck" and you would hit hard dave instead of 'd'.
+ reduced timeouts in waitforsingleobject for terminating threads (win32)
+ now proxied clients can check for newer versions too.
+ Now statistics are only sent once. When you create your cfg for the first time.

24th Nov 2002
+ My brother's birthday, fixed a bug in the 'w' command (actually all
*argv's outside the argc range werent nulled, now they are) (thanks to gustavo for reporting it!)
+ Finished re-writing help output, each command now follows a usage.
+ Now SECURE is replaced with an empty password! if you dont specify a password
you will be prompted for one when you run ysm!
+ Fixes when reading variables from the configuration file
+ Fixed incoming TypeA messages (now trillian's AFK thing is read correctly)

19th Nov 2002
+ Performed all Win32 fixes on the new code, added support for stricmp
instead of strcasecmp.
+ Fixed the max amount of cmd args constant.
+ Fixed command line parsing (this way is better, believe me :P)
+ Now commands are case insensitive.

18th Nov 2002
+ finished re-coding commands handling, also re-written the help system.
Its now in a lovely more automatic way. added support for command aliases.
+ fixed tab and commands which required long input such as 'msg' where
each word was sepparated as a different **arg, they are now re-chained.

17th Nov 2002
+ New /me actions supported! Whenever you receive a message with a
/me something it displays as an action, for example "/me runs away"
will be shown as * rad runs away *, pretty cool huh :)
+ At last! fixed Reconnects! Try it out. Yes it reconnects 3 times
per reconnection (at least for me) I believe this is because the server
didn't yet close the connection and thinks you are still alive, so
it has to kick you from the main and the BoS server first.
+ I started re-coding the whole implementation of commands handling
with function pointers for each command and argc/**argv params, pretty
nice looking and usefull, hope i finish it soon :).

15th Nov 2002
+ Fix for win32, \e isnt recognized as an escape sequence, hence we were
parsing out all 'e' characters from incoming messages.
+ Contacts downloading minor fixing (bounds checking to avoid faults when
the process fails)

14th Nov 2002
+ Tested YSM on Irix! (thank you adji!) We have some new screenshots I'll
be uploading soon.
+ Tested YSM on QNX! (thank you beto!), screens too!.

10th Nov 2002
+ More sparc fixing, terminal reading is now byte per byte, padding fixes
on the rijndaell code (!) Bus error when accessing an unaligned structure
and more endianess fixes on ysm code.
as far as i could test it, encryption, messaging and downloading contacts
is working perfectly in sparc.

09th Nov 2002
+ fixed endianess problems! Thanks to LiquidK for giving me a test account
on his university sparc for debugging!. Now ysm is tested to run in a big
endian Ultra-Enterprise Sparc with SunOS 5.7 system!. Though all the
endianness fixes should let ysm run ok in sparc, irix, ppc, etc.

05th Nov 2002
+ Worked on a single function for singing in the ICQ network, hence
allowing real reconnects when the connection goes down. I also added
incrementing retries. My kernel packets arent timing out so until now
this is a 'should work' fix. Hope it works though. =)

28th Oct 2002
+ New YSM_Exit wrapper for freeing every unfreed heap block on exit.
+ The slaves list is now being freed on exit (duh!, sorry)
+ slaves list code cleanup (new free functions)
+ new unfreed_blocks variable for debugging purposes.
+ Now only beeping birthdays if BEEP is ON. (heh started bothering!)
