Lots of changes, in particular:

- Pasting delay, to send lines of text slowly to prevent disconnection
- Charset support works better now, using a Find Best codesets.library function
- Tabs can be sorted alphabetically now, a side effect is that channels and private tabs are grouped together

Read More....

- The Main Settings window looks a lot nicer now, I put a lot of effort into making MUI layout things nicely
- Less unnecessary refreshing of the display happens when you switch tabs, which feels a lot nicer on slower machines
- Fixed a problem where heavy incoming traffic was being written outside of the receive buffer (whoops)

.. Plus many more weird bugfixes.

What is it?

WookieChat is uncrippled SHAREWARE.

Download it from the WookieChat homepage, and soon from aminet.net and os4depot.net.

I'm still recovering from the fortnight of "never ending $200-300 (nzd) bills"... we had to use my entire overdraft and part of my credit card. but I've gradually wittled down my debt. Only half an overdraft to go now! Thank you Robert Dickinson for the $50 + $15 donations!

Some of yesterdays donation should have gone towards buying a licence. And the rest should have been the start of a much needed get-jahc-to-change-his-home-page-picture-bounty.
