Version 0.15.1

This patch introduces changes and improvements to the static binaries:

• Added binaries for 32 and 64-bit ARM architectures
• Fixed a syntax error in the bundled config file causing the config to not load
• Added some hardening/memory safety related compile flags
• Updated to the latest c-toxcore release (v0.2.19)
• Updated to the latest curl release (v8.7.1)

Full Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.15.1

Version 0.15.0

New Features

• Chat history is now colourized on load
• The Toxic config can now be reloaded without restarting the client via Ctrl+r
• Added a config setting that allows you to hide the contents of desktop notifications
• Added a config setting to set friend aliases
• Groupchats now have a status bar at the top of the window displaying the group topic
• When logging is enabled with the /log on command, the log path is now printed to the window
• The /log command with no arguments now prints the log path

Changes

• Added the : character to the list of characters that may not be used in a nick (this character is reserved for log parsing)
• The page up and page down keys now default to scrolling half a window instead of a single line. Ctrl-v and Ctrl-f now scroll a single line instead of half the window.
• Tab-completion with a lone / character will no longer spam the window with every possible command
• Chat log files are now limited to 100MiB per session to mitigate certain types of DOS attacks (sessions are reset when a window is closed, the log is manually disabled, or when the client is restarted)

Bug fixes

• Chat history now stays scrolled to the bottom after resizing the terminal window, unless it wasn't already at the bottom
• Friend tab name default colours now match custom themes
• Fixed some issues with window scrolling when a message contains a tab or vertical escape sequence
• The Python API compiles again
• Doing the /whois command on yourself in a groupchat no longer shows an incorrect value

Full change log: v0.14.1...v0.15.0

Version 0.14.1

New Features

• Added support for friend, group and conference specific configuration options (see the toxic.conf man page or the example config file for details)
• Tab auto-completion now works for command arguments when appropriate (/color, /status and /game)
• Added a new global command /color <color> that changes the colour of the focused window's tab name.
• Added some new colours to use for UI customization (pink, brown, grey and orange). Note: these are buggy on some terminal emulators.
• Added the ability to get a conference unique identifier with the /chatid command (this is for use in the config file; you cannot join a conference with this identifier like you can with groupchats).

Changes

• The toxic configuration file is now tied to your profile. e.g. if you run toxic -f secondary.tox, toxic will look for a config file named secondary.conf in the same directory, and will create one if it does not exist. Toxic still uses the default config file if neither the -f or -c options are passed.
• The --config <path> option will now create the config file path if it does not exist instead of reporting an error.
• Set a more reasonable default window size for video chats.

Bug fixes

• The peer list border colour in groups and conferences now matches custom colour schemes
• Fixed incompatible pointer types being passed as an argument which could lead to memory corruption or a crash (this bug only affected the unreleased version 0.14.0).

Full change log: v0.13.1...v0.14.1

Version 0.13.1

This patch includes a series of bug fixes and internal code cleanup. This version of Toxic should be built against toktok/c-toxcore commit ebafd51b

• Allow setting a unique name for each group which are separate from your main tox name
• The groupchat /whois command now includes IP addresses when direct connections are supported by the given peer (to support this feature, toxic must be built with the ENABLE_TOX_EXPERIMENTAL flag set to 1).

Bug fixes and general cleanup

• Improved help menu and some error messages
• When you use the /ignore command in a groupchat, peers will now stay ignored for the duration of your toxic session, even if they disconnect from the group and come back later
• Fixed a bug that allowed friends to start a new online chess game with invalid parameters, resulting in a broken game
• Removed auto-complete for some invalid commands in groupchat windows
