Trillian Sametime plugin 0.9.0.56 (alpha) released

I am pleased to announce that version 0.9.0.56 of the Trillian Sametime Plugin has been released.

A summary of the changes in this release are presented below:

- Added the ability to auto connect a Sametime account. The default is to auto connect a Sametime account, unless the auto connect preference is turned off via the <autoconnect>0</autoconnect> account setting OR if there are multiple Sametime accounts defined that either default or have specified the <autoconnect>1</autoconnect> preference.

The account settings dialog is (still) not available, so you must edit the sametime.xml settings file if you wish to turn off auto connect for an individual Sametime account.

- Added context menus for Sametime connection entry. Can now disconnect, reconnect remove connection entry, set status away, idle, do not disturb, or online.

- Update connection and account status when the Sametime account status changes.

- Set status description when our status changes

- Display an extended tooltip for Sametime contacts, showing their away msg and additional Sametime information for the contact

- Changed to only register for edit events that we're interested in. Previous previous versions received all edit notifications.

- Save/restore section name in sametime.xml settings file. Removed code to save/restore the account status since this has been replaced with the autoconnect setting described above.

- Built with new Lotus Sametime C++ Toolkit version 6.5.1

- Font sizes, foreground/background colors, bold, italics, etc. are now enabled if the person you're chatting with is also using stplugin. These features remain disabled if the person you're chatting with is not using stplugin 0.9.0.56 or higher.
