Since the last version, I've improved the performance and visual representation of xeus. Hardware acceleration works only on Windows Vista, but performance on Windows XP is acceptable. There are currently two builds - for x86 and x64 platforms.
If you notice any issues, please feel free report it.
This version is focused on performance. I did several steps to enable HW acceleration on XP and fixed some bugs. I hope that performance is much better than before.
There is another button in the status bar which enables to open login dialog. This is more user friendly than right-click on status icon.
I was checking the performance of xeus and I've found that hardware acceleration is not supported on non-rectangular windows (which is the case). So i decided to set xeus windows to be rectangular which makes a little design glitch - on the other side, performance is better. On Windows Vista, it is fine. This will be released with the next version.
I've completely re-coded the chat window. It is now a document where you can easily search, scroll, zoom and copy. Copy to clipboard now supports RTF. Another enhancement is that you can click on hyperlinks in text.
Yet another improvement was made in Big-Icon mode: Fixed issues:
Xeus crashes on Windows Vista during startup. I don't know exactly, what's going on, but when I recompile the project under Vista, it works. I have to find out what's wrong.
