Sun Nov 14 11:21:41 EST 1999		Beta 0.8 in progress (0.7-2 RELEASED)

	* Added pinfo.gif to the setup.

Sat Nov 13 23:41:00 EST 1999		Beta 0.8 in progress

	* The client will now let you know when your avatar is too big.

Sat Nov 13 12:17:07 EST 1999		Beta 0.8 in progress

	* You can now right click on a user's name tag to bring up a menu
	  similar to the names menu. It's kidna not what I wanted :( I
	  can't seem to find a good way for it to go away.

	* Broke the DoNames function up a little so that the same code
	  could be used for other functions. Namely, right clicking a name
	  tag.

Fri Nov 12 15:08:47 EST 1999		Beat 0.8 In Progress

	* Added a file browser window for sending files to users. This
	  same window should be reuseable with other things where
	  selecting a file is nessecary.

	* Fixed a problem with the new centralized chat code where it was
	  not remembering things said to be later filled into the text
	  chat window.

	* Moved the ignore options into a seperate pull down menu from the
	  list of options.

	* More work on the Technical Documentation!

	* Just about finished up the personal information section. 

	* Added a binding for RightClicking on the canvas. This binding
	  can be used by plugins by trapping the plugin.traps.RightClick
	  function. It will pass the x, y coords which were clicked by the
	  user.

Thu Nov 11 11:18:43 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress

	* The setup window's buttons now work correctly, Save, Apply and
	  Save & Apply will do their expected functions

	* All TextChat messages and all Logging now go through one central
 	  function. This function is called InsertIntoChat which takes two
	  arguments. the first is a variable called $log which tells the
	  function if it should log the text or not (also weather to
	  remember it or not) this makes the log file fully functional
	  now.

Thu Nov 11 09:33:46 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress
	
	* Included KaosBeetl's change to add a button to the setup window
	  which honors or deny's exit commands from the server so he won't
	  be pushed out of the room when he is idleing.

Tue Nov  9 18:13:06 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress

	* Fixed two protocol problems in the server code. First, it was
	  allowing a name of any length to be used. This has been limited
	  to 13 characters. Second, it was improperly disconnecting users
	  who entered a bad name, this has been changed to issue NAMEINUSE
	  when they enter a bad name.

	* Fixed a problem with the saving of the new Personal Information
	  section. It was not correctly being applied when saved.

Sun Nov  7 23:28:17 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress

	* More work on the setup stuff. Added more support for the
	  personal information section. It will be saved now when the user
	  changes this information. there are also global variables which
	  hold this information.

	* Added options for sound and name tags to the setup window.

	* Updated help for the sound and name tags options in setup.

Sun Nov  7 20:34:55 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress

	* Added a log button to the TextChat window. This button turns on
	  or off the loging of things which happen in OpenVerse. Logging
	  is not very verbose, it will log file transfers and chat and
	  private messages to and from you but not system messages, avatar
	  changes, etc.

	* Updated help for the above.

Wed Nov  3 19:25:33 EST 1999	Beta 0.8 in progress

	* Fixed a bug related to the downloading of avatars. If someone
	  else had an image by the same name, both of you would switch to
	  the new image. Now, it will only switch the avatar of the person
	  it belongs to.

	* Added a pulldown menuthingey on the avatars button in the setup
	  menu. Alligned the suff on that side of the screen a little
	  better.


	* Added the ability to set the default server and port within the
	  setup menu.

	* Changed the default servername to world.openverse.org


Tue Nov  2 15:00:27 EST 1999    Beta 0.8 in progress

	* Started working on a personal information section of the setup
	  (User Profile). 

	* Began work on Technical Documentation

	* Changes to the fun and notfun menus to more correctly show the
	  button functions based on existing UIs. Grumble.

	* Created a help/About help page and added this as the first item
	  in the main help index. this about page will show the version
	  number, my email address and real name and a link to the
	  website.
