  • Fixed a couple of Deskbar-related crashers.
  • You can now select more than one nickname from the nicklist and perform actions on them.

  • The server window's apparance is now updated in real-time like the other windows (fonts, colors, etc).

Development on this version has been done entirely by Todd Lair (bowser@tvp-l.com) -- he has improved Bowser immensely. Since d36: improved speed, cleanup, leaks fixed, tons of bugfixes, notify, color & font preferences, multiple servers, drag n' drop...
Ran out of space in the box above. :) Tons more added features, etc. A complete list of updates is available at Todd's Bowser page located at http://www.tvl-p.com/Bowser.html.
