KMess 1.5-pre2 released

[Diederik van der Boor]

Dear subscribers,

A new version of KMess has just been released. With so many fixes and 
improvements in CVS, it was time to release a second preview of KMess 1.5. 
This release fixes some critical issues found in 1.5-pre1.


== What is KMess ==
KMess is an alternative MSN Messenger chat client for Linux. It allows Linux 
users to chat with friends who use MSN Messenger in Windows or Mac OS. The 
strength of KMess is it's integration with the KDE desktop environment, focus 
on MSN Messenger specific features and an easy-to-use interface.


== Changes in this release ==
The most important bugfixes are better support for direct file transfer 
connections, and links in the chat window. There are also some nice 
improvements, like file transfer previews, now playing information, and an 
option to disable the nudge shaking effect. The features introduced with pre1 
also received incremental improvements. More information can be found at the 
front page and changelog.

The file transfer previes are generated for any file type supported in 
Konqueror. This includes OpenOffice, HTML and video files! The chat window 
supports geek-style links now. It happens all the time people 
write "dot.kde.org", "planetkde.org", or "slashdot.org". These links are 
clickable as well, without getting all kinds of false-positives. As new 
option, it's also possible to disable the shaking effect of a nudge.
