Log Message:
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
+ Removed UIN registration from ysmICQ. It is no longer possible to register
UINs using ysm. Instead, a link is provided to icq.com where to register a
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.

31st Jul 2005
+ Bug fix! fixed an exception being thrown while deleting the last slave in the \ 
slaves list. Thanks to Alexey Semonov for reporting the problem.

9th Jul 2005
+ ysmICQ is now an official package of the Debian distribution! Thanks to Ilya \ 
M. Slepnev who took all the hard work of packaging it and finding a sponsor! \ 
It's available as an unstable package by now.

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.

5 Feb 2005
+ 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.

24th Oct 2004
+ bugfix. the online slaves counter was not being reset during reconnects. \ 
Thanks to f00li5h for reporting this.
+ new language translation (CZ) submitted by Kuda Ondrej

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.
+ fixes on comfortable mode (broken in the CVS)

21st Aug 2004
+ fixing prompt redraw for AFK mode.
+ now incrementing the AFK message counter for messages coming from nonslaves.
+ removed the MSG_KIND setting. It was obsolete.

19th Aug 2004
+ my birthday! 21 years old now.

25th Jul 2004
+ patch sent by MSB related to Memory Leaks.
+ 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.

cpu usage.
+ [ts at rot13 dot de] sent a patch for getline, fixing support for umlauts.
+ Alex Samorukov (samm at os2) sent a patch for the CtrlHandler under unix.
+ fix for Win32. The burl command and actions used with arguments should now \ 
work ok. I spotted this bug blindly thanks to Johannes.
+ blind fix for the 'Age' field on the whois command. It sometimes showed up \ 
negative, changed d to %ud lets see if its fixed now, couldn't find any \ 
erroneous test case.
+ 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.
+ fix on TAB cycling for slaves. now cycling alphabetically.

29th May 2004
+ started adding colors configuration support! By now you can select colors for \ 
COLOR_MESSAGE (message body colors) COLOR_STATUSCHANGENAME (nick on status \ 
changes) and COLOR_STATUSCHANGESTATUS (status on status changes).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ysm 2.9.5 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++ Unlimited, unlocked and wild +++++++++++++++++++++++

Crash fixed.

with but different.

25th Apr 2004
+ now the 'auto away' status is canceled and you are put back online, when you \ 
send a message. Note this only happens for 'auto away' and not any 'away' status \ 
changes you have done manually.
+ now reading automatic messages! (away, occupied, NA, DND and FFCHAT messages). \ 
They are shown while using the 'whois' command on a slave. If the slave has an \ 
automatic message set, it will be displayed under a label named 'Auto Message'.
+ setting FISHGUI> and FISHGUI_HIDE_CONSOLE> in default configurations to \ 
0, since for non fishgui users this could represent a pain in the behind.
+ 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).
+ New 'MYBIRTHDAY' setting in the configuration file. If set to 1, you will have \

+ fixed configuration file parsing, if certain vars (i.e. PROXY_PORT) had a 0 \ 
length value, ysm would crash atoi(NULL). (thanks laura N. for reporting this)

direct connection ports in order to make ports redirection behind nat
a simple task.
+ now EXEC_INCOMING and EXEC_OUTGOING receive as extra arguments the

allowing normal offline messages before. (Thanks to MSB for noticing this)

+ Added a few fixes to the WINHOTKEY feature.
+ Added some FD checks.
+ Fix on showing received contacts.

27th Jan 2003
+ Now alert/log flags are saved in the configuration file!
+ New way of displaying the slaves list. 3 slaves per line now :)
+ Fixed pthreads leak on BSD systems!
+ Fixed reconnect problems on win32!
+ Finally! Implemented the HotKey for win32! Now using ctrl+alt+ a key specified \ 
in the WINHOTKEY> parameter in your configuration file (default is 's') the \ 
YSM Console window will restore if minimized and show up active.
+ removed win32 warnings.

23th Jan 2003
+ New 'contact' or 'contacts' command for sending contacts!.
+ Now YSM support receiving contacts! It didnt before, now it does!.

22th Jan 2003
+ lots of code cleanup.
+ lots of work on direct connections, still not available directly in the
cvs version since it needs a few more touches, but im able to receive
direct connections and messages via tcp. im still missing file transfers.
+ re-worked the Verbosity levels:
# Normal output -> 5
# - Remove status changes -> 0
# - Remove connecting information -> 1
# + Add direct connections information -> 20
# + Add data checking information -> 21
# + Add incoming/outgoing packets dump -> 22
# + Add slaves downloading processing -> 23

16th Jan 2003
+ new EXEC_INCOMING and EXEC_OUTGOING config params for executing commands
on incoming messages and outgoing messages.

14th Jan 2003
+ Code cleanup, ill be soon implementing actions on incoming/outgoing events.
+ 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!)
