BUGFIX: When a modal message requester was opened only the main window was put to sleep. The entire application must be put to sleep so the user cannot do anything else in the program. In certain occasions this error would lead to a crash or an Enforcer hit. NEW: Added requeststring function to the messagerequester class for use by plugins. NEW: The reply text field and replybutton are no longer shown in reponse of a version and system info request. BUGFIX: If you opened the Client Info window and then iconified the application and later deiconified it the main window and the client window had the same dimensions and position. NEW: Changed the layout of the message requesters. It should now get a better dimension so you don't need to scroll. The sizegadget was also removed. If your requesters are snapshotable it is still there. NEW: AmiComSys now asks if you want to display the file you just received. NEW: If a plugin is inside the ACS main window it's menu is added the first time the plugin is active. BUGFIX: Enforcer hit when you opened the Client Info of user without any comment and also when such a user connected. BUGFIX: It will now not go online when you uniconify after you have killed the gui while your your status was set to offline. BUGFIX If the comment, homepage and some other items on the personal info were set to an empty string they were not updated in the contact list until you reconnected. This program is ShareWare.
