Version: 0.95.11

Rev: v0.95.11

Released: 2 February 2020

Important
If you encounter "Miranda was unable to open <profile_name>, it's in an unknown format" error after update, please follow this instruction.

This build introduces two main features:

  • Unified message window

That is the major step towards the idea that the same message (SRMM) window could serve both private & group chats. Now each SRMM clone (StdMsg, Scriver, TabSRMM) contains the only window class that handles both chat types. Nick list window can be hidden dynamically now, thus opening the way to convert a private chat into a group one on the fly (for example, if a third person was added to the conversation between two participants).

  • Universal log window interface

This feature allows a plugin to declare itself as a SRMM log window handler, thus eliminating a long list of crutches in many plugins. A user can choose between the built-in log viewer or alternative plugin (like IEView or History++) not only in TabSRMM, as before, but in any other message plugin (StdMsg, Scriver), and also use external plugins as group chat logs. Also a new plugin, NewStory, is on the way.

Core and libraries

  • updated BASS, libcurl, libmdbx, SQLite, and tinyxml2 libraries.
  • mdbx_chk: useful utility to check database integrity.
  • Issue #2083 newly added sub-contact didn’t get the "hidden" flag in the database.
  • Issue #2107 trailing extra icons weren't wiped from the contact list after disabling a corresponding plugin.
  • Issue #2157 database drivers shouldn't have unload checkbox.

Protocols

  • Discord
    • added offline file transfers support capability.
    • added support for own message deletion.
    • Issue #2117 added custom status support.
    • Issue #2080 protocol menu was lost during dynamic account creation.
    • Issue #2115 everyone else in a group chat other than you will have their messages appear as if the contact whose chat got transformed into the group is speaking. This was fixed.
  • Facebook
    • Issue #2058 brand new Facebook plugin based on MQTT protocol instead of the old deprecated plugin that used direct parsing of HTTP pages. The main advantage of the new plugin is that it doesn't block your account and works pretty fast. All users are welcome to test new plugin, any feedback is greatly appreciated as well as bug reports at our tracker.
  • ICQ
    • Mail.ru (ICQ owner) automatically deletes accounts that have not been used for more than a year from the system and from the server contact list. Miranda no longer removes such contacts from the database to avoid the loss of history.
    • added error code detection during addBuddy (we allow to add [deleted] contacts, but only locally).
    • added the experimental server group editor (but the server allows you to edit only groups created by the new protocol).
    • Issue #2076 removed 80x80 px avatar limitation in avatar management dialog.
    • Issue #2095 removed all statuses except Online and Offline due to the server-side limitation.
    • Issue #2110 display a URL for the uploaded file instead of a local path.
    • fixed problems with old server-side groups, created by Miranda IM.
    • Issue #2024 fixed embedded group problems.

    • Issue #2189 fixed broken file transfers.
  • IRC
    • fixed the 10-years-old bug with displaying own messages with %%.
  • Jabber
    • Issue #1710 implemented XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload (Protocol menu → Services... → Service discovery → Right-click on service → Use for uploads).
    • service-related options moved to the Service discovery menu.
    • Issue #2039 vCard request is no longer tied to the program start, which allows us to update them daily, even if the Miranda uptime is longer.
    • removed Convert to contact and Convert to chat room contact menu items (group chats are long time no stored in the roster, there are bookmarks for this).
    • fixed vCard retrieving problem for group chat contacts with Cyrillic nicks.
    • Issue #2103 fixed avatar retrieving if cached avatar was deleted from disk.
    • Issue #2113 fixed incorrect status in the log when changing the status of a conference member.
