Following features are new 0.8:
===============================
1.) Cleaned up the code a little bit again.
2.) When a message is recalled and send again, uddeIM does not longer send an additional
notification email.
3.) Import tab in admin backend was shown again when settings were saved.
4.) New emoticons from KOLOBOK.us.
Note:
a) Animated emoticons are available for all themes exept "noir" now (maybe someone can
convert all emoticons in "/templates/~~~theme~~~/animated"?).
b) Extended emoticons can be stored in a folder "/templates/~~~theme~~~/animated-extended".
For the default template about 32 animated emoticons are provided. If you need more you
can copy as many emoticons in this folder as you like. The filename is used to identify
an emoticon in the pm (e.g. "cry.gif" will be entered as ":cry:").
5.) Switch between static and animated emoticons.
6.) Delete link is available when a message is read from the outbox folder.
7.) "uddeIM Notify" module for people who do not use Community Builder (this module also
supports popups).
8.) Notifications to a new users will be sent even when these users have not used uddeIM before
and default for notifications is set to always in backend.
9.) "Message Encryption" has been implemented. When this feature is enabled users can secure
messages with an encryption key (called "Password" in the frontend since not everyone knows
the difference between a "password" and a "key"). Messages can only be read when the correct
key is provided. When no key is entered uddeIM falls back to "Message obfuscating".
Warning: This is an experimental feature. Use is with care.
When you are unsure what to do enable "Message obfuscating" only.
You can enable encryption whenever you like.
10.) There are checkboxes in the inbox, outbox, trash and archive now. These checkboxes allow
to delete multiple messages at the same time. You can choose between text and icon layout.
11.) About 50 minor bugs and CSS layout bugs fixed.
12.) Messages can be pruned in the backend manually.
13.) User settings link was not shown when popups where enabled and notifications not.
14.) When CB avatars are enabled, "no picture" avatar is displayed when user has no avatar.
15.) Icons for menubar, bottom links and action links can be enabled/disabled seperately.
16.) The maintenance function has been improved and checks for a few database errors (useful when
you have updated from uddeIM 0.5 and below or when 3rd party software writes in uddeIM's
database tables).
17.) Some configuration variables have changed (this allows to make uddeIM compatible to J!1.5
in near future).
18.) uddeIM allows multiple receivers now. Just enter all names seperated with an ",". To send
a message to Alice and Bob, enter "alice,bob".
There is a small consmetic issue with this feature when blocking is enabled. When one
user blocks you, you will get a message that the message has not been sent. You have to try
again and to re-enter the message and all recipients. None of the non-blocking recipients
will get the message.
Note: uddeIM 0.8b does not use strong encryption (a encryption algorithm like DES, 3DES or AES).
uddeIM uses a vernam cipher which is based on a simple password as key stream (usually this
should be a randomized bit stream). So uddeIM encryption feature is actually not unbreakable
but good enough for our purposes (maybe I implement strong encryption in a future version).

Please read "readme uddeIM 0.8.txt" how to update from 0.5b, 0.6b or 0.7b.
