New Features in 0.31.a
- New Buddy List
- File Send now works *synchronously* for Yahoo clients. (File Receive
always worked)
- New Buddy Info window
- Lots of bug fixes (see below)

Application
-----------
- Fixed a Profile preference pane hang if no profile was set (cr)
- New "Encrypt messages to myself in addition to others" option in the
Profile pref.
Turning it off works better with services that have limited message
sizes.

527203, 527266, 527911, 529221) (jt)
- Added a SIGPIPE signal handler at startup (replaces the Yahoo SIGPIPE
handler)
This should fix some unexpected quits (jt)
- Wait for 30 seconds before reconnecting after sleep. This should be
long enough that networking
is available again and make this feature more reliable. (feature
541225) (jt)
- Reduced frequency of updating the buddy list window. This should
improve startup time and responsiveness when lots of changes happen at
the same time (jt)

loading (bug 510645) (jt)

input method (bug 542835) (jt)
- don't mark buddies as online when blocking or unblocking them (jt)
- when waking from idle state, keep custom away message (bug 528364) (jt)
- Custom away messages can have a zero length message, and autoresponse
messages are not sent
when the message is empty (bugs 535560, 535788) (jt)
- You can send autoresponses once for the life of a window (jt)
- Buddy window status indicator updates when you use the Dock menu to
change status (jt)

autodisplayed (feature 478144) (jt)

are currently active and keep tabs on them.
Services

- save buddy list to server when adding, removing, blocking, and
unblocking buddies (jt)
- TODO - save buddies into same groups as locally instead of putting
all of them
in the Buddies group

characters
to come across properly rather than being eaten by the HTML parser
(bug 478442) (jt)
- Fonts should now show up properly in official AOL clients (jt)
ICQ
- properly create the ** Default Group ** if it doesn't exist when
adding server buddies (jt)

window now (bug 536429) (jt)

preference
