Known issues (read also the FAQ):
- in Firefox Quantum (>57) there is no support for notification sounds (embeded audio files);
- php 5.1.6 will not allow joining chat or/and changing settings or saving data into database (due to several bugs in 5.1.6 release);
- php 4.4.4 has an issue of not posting the messages ($M value is null);
- configurations cannot be saved from admin panel on servers having magic_quotes set "on"; this also happens if the c_config table structure has been altered somehow and it doesn't exactly follow the admin5.php field definitions; another identified reason would be the use of single quote ' in field values (like Room's Names or such) - never use single quotes - use the utf-8 ' instead (you can copy it from here when you need it);
- when a username uses utf-8 chars like ă î â , php cannot recognize a name with small caps as being similar with caps (Îrban is different than îrban) so please make sure you use the name in PMs and commands exactly as the one of the desired username (this is working fine on php > 5 servers, due to the added mb_* functions support);

Important: every time you upgrade/reinstall a phpmychat server or change sensitive data in Admin panel (like default room names), the old cookies must be deleted from the clients' machines - so let your users know! (also cache clearing might be a good idea)
When you install Firefox2 and/or QuickTime (RealPlayer), a QuickTime plugin will break the WMP plugin in IE, necessary for playing .wav sounds, therefore, you won't get sounds in IE anymore. I fixed it by playing with enabling WMP/disabling QuickTime plugins in IE; re-associating the "wav" files in Media Player/Tools/Options/File Types also fixes this.
On some pcs a restart might be necessary.
We also added a small IE fixing script (reg file) as a link in Extra Options in chat.
If your users encounter booting for no reason, try to disable sounds in chat.

- 111 aiml files for bot to be loaded (distributed as optional before) - you can remove the ones you don't want, before loading them into the database (these are the most interesting I found over the internet 1 year ago. if anyone has time to check them out and optimize them, it would be appreciated)

05.07.2006: - v1.7 - The Plus version is called now v1.7 and it's mature enough to become a final release (New name: phpMyChat-Plus v1.7 - not "based on 0.15.4" anymore - this is not alpha nor beta, it is not preview nor starter edition - it is the mature version of phpMyChat - I hope Nick Hozey will agree with me, as well as the other contributors who might have tried the Plus version so far)
- Main reason of this release: Firefox is now treated as an "H" browser due to Popeye's flickering fix, so I wanted to improve its behaviour a little bit.
- /buzz command improvements: (functionality related)
 - able to choose different sounds to be sent;
 - the buzz messages get deleted after 60 secs if they were sent like "/buzz" (if there is any text sent like "/buzz hello there", those messages remain in the database to be seen by the users in chat);
 - all the sounds embedded by the buzz command get removed after 10 seconds:
  - only admins and moderators can use it by default (reg users could use it before) - this can be changed in the buzz.cmd.php file
  - the sound is only played once - this makes it usable in Firefox as well;
  - users logged into chat after buzz commands have been sent, won't hear any old sounds;
 - Usage (read the help for more details):
  - old usage: "/buzz" or "/buzz message to be shown" - this plays the default sound for buzz defined in Admin panel;
  - extended usage: "/buzz ~newsound" or "/buzz ~newsound message to be shown" - this plays the newsound.wav file from the plus/sounds folder; please note the sign "~" to be used at the beginning of the second word, which is the name of the sound file without the extension .wav (no other extensions can be used by default).
- Copyright notes have now the years updated automatically (e.g. "2000-2006 The phpHeaven Team" - 2006 will be automatically replaced by the current year in the future) (cosmetic & functionality related)
- All the links available in chat include now "titles" (small hints) and mouseover statuses for the Status bar; this hides the addresses where the link would send the user if he clicks on it (security improvement), as well as helps users understand how to use the features (like sending a pm or editing the profile) - use /timestamp to see how it works. (cosmetic, functionality & security related)
- Fixed the center alignment for the index page elements in Firefox (display related)
- Fixed the mouse over for the Help and Profile images in input frame (the washout effect) (display and functionality related)
- Increased the users frame width form 150 to 180 in frameset_def.lib.php (to fit the longer usernames) (display related)
- Added the .htaccess file by default in the config folder, to deny the config.lib.php access from all (security related)
- Improved the lurking feature to use the lib/connected_users.lib.php. Also fixed the chat_activity.php file to display the current status of the chat in remote pages. (it hasn't been working properly before: no correct output) (functionality related)
- Fixed the login handling (previously, admins couldn't change the username or password for other accounts he might had - it as my bad, I misunderstood the role of $LIMIT variable in login.lib.php) (functionality related)
- Fixed the edit avatar feature (added variable LIMIT in the url to and from avatar.php). An user could change his name or password even though he was logged in the chat because the avatar.php was losing the LIMIT value. (functionality related)
- Fixed some display issues for the private/whisper messages (sender couldn't see hiw own whispers - at this point, unfortunately, sender will see his whispers massages in all the rooms - note that whispers are called the private messages sent by command /wisp or /whisp, not by /msg or /to) (functionality related)
- Fixed the botname display: The Bot's name will not be displayed as link anymore in users lists nor messages frame - no more PM's to bot (he ignored private messaging anyway) (functionality related)
- Added new feature: "Send email to the new registered user" (enabled by default in admin panel: EMAIL_USER value) containing the account data, including the password, for further references; It is based on Bob Dickow hack (Send an email to admin on new user registration) (functionality extended)
- Extended feature: "Send email to the user & admin after the user changed his name/password by editing the profile" (enabled by default in admin panel: EMAIL_USER value) containing the account data, including the password, for further references; It is based on Bob Dickow hack (Send an email to admin on new user registration) (functionality extended)
SQL updates:
- Added one field [EMAIL_USER enum('0','1') NOT NULL default '1'] at the end of table c_config

- Auto-boot feature improved/fixed:
	- SYS dice should have been SYS dice1 in plus/lib/clean.lib.php (to count time from the last dice thrown, if the user has done no other activities) (functionality related);
	- Normal users couldn't login if the welcome message has been disabled. (very important - functionality related);
- plus/chat folder contains now two files called index.php and index.php3 to redirect the users who are trying to login using the old bookmarks. Users will automatically be redirected to the new chatpath, whatever the name of the folder will be (plus, chat, etc.). You can safely delete the old index.html in that folder. (functionality related)
- topic and skin fix for rooms called like this: Dan's room (containing quotes) - I strongly suggest you don't use special chars in your chat rooms names. At this point, posting in those rooms is not possible. (functionality related)
- non-wanted slashes (05.12.2005 fix related) removed in lurking and archive as well.
