The log viewer should (finally) work with logs in languages other than English. Nothing else is new, just more minor fixes that most people probably won’t ever even notice.

Changes from 1.4.3 beta 2

• (Feature improvement) Log viewer will now work in any language
• (Bugfix) Old iChat 2 logs now display properly in the log viewer
• (Bugfix) Fixed a problem where typing a reply into a new message window with tabs enabled could case the tab window to resize infinitely
• (Bugfix) Other minor bugfixes related to tabs
• Improvements to the sizing of the more info floating window

This version fixes two minor bugs that were introduced in Chax 1.4.2. I’ve also made some improvements to the log viewer – you can now delete, export to plain-text and search through logs. Unfortunately the log viewer still doesn’t parse non-English log formats yet. Also new is a floating information window that has a bigger buddy icon display and makes links clickable, for all of you who have requested the ability to click on URLs in away messages.

Changes from 1.4.2:

• (New) Floating info window displays full status messages and larger user icons (access by right-clicking a user in the contact list and selecting “More Info”)
• (New) Log viewer toolbar has options to delete logs and export logs in plain-text
• (New) Log viewer has a search field that uses Spotlight to search through logs
• (Feature improvement) Tab overflow menu will change icons to denote new messages in tabs that aren’t visible
• (Bugfix) Receiving a new message when using tabs won’t always bring the new tab to the front anymore
• (Bugfix) Fixed a problem where opening saved chats could fail
• (Bugfix) Fixed a typo in the German localization
• (Note) The Chax installation program name has been changed from Install Chax to Chax Installer

A very minor release for some more bugs in tabs, including one problem introduced in Chax 1.4.1 that would cause new messages in tabs to not come to the front properly.

Changes from 1.4.1:

• (Feature improvement) Activity window now has a toolbar with options to clear the log and search through activity
• (Feature improvement) Activity window now saves status messages and logs incoming and outgoing file transfers
• (Bugfix) Clicking the close button on the tab window will now properly close all tabs
• (Bugfix) The contact list will stay at the top of the screen when auto-resizing is enabled and the contact list spans the entire height of the screen
• (Bugfix) Fixed problems with tabs not coming to the front properly when auto-accept text invitations option was disabled
• (Bugfix) Fixed problems with group chats not appearing properly
• (Bugfix) Inviting more people to a group chat now displays the invitation sheet properly
• (Bugfix) Selecting “Invite to Chat…” from the Buddies menu works properly again
• (Bugfix) Fixed a problem where the text window would try to resize infinitely when using tabs

A few more minor fixes and improvements before a final release of 1.4.2. A number of people have requested that the activity window log file transfer history, which it now does. Also of note is that the close button on the tab window now actually closes the window, instead of only the front tab.

Changes from Chax 1.4.2 beta 1

• (Feature improvement) Incoming and outgoing file transfers are now logged in the activity window
• (Bugfix) Clicking the close button on the tab window will now properly close all tabs
• (Bugfix) The contact list will stay at the top of the screen when auto-resizing is enabled and the contact list spans the entire height of the screen
• (Bugfix) Fixed a problem where the text window would try to resize infinitely when using tabs
• (Bugfix) Selecting “Invite to Chat…” from the Buddies menu works properly again
• (Bugfix) Fixed incorrect encoding on German localized resources

I made a pretty glaring oversight in 1.4.1 which led to a number of people experiencing problems with tabs not being highlighted properly. This release should fix those problems. I’ve also added a toolbar to the activity window which adds an option to clear the log and search through past activity. Options to have all activity saved to disk will be coming in a future version.
