Sticker 3.1.0RC1

Sticker is a desktop tickertape messaging client that specialises in flexible handling of ticker messages. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Unix. Sticker is developed by Matthew Phillips from DSTO.
Main features:
- Scrolling ticker or threaded tree views for reading and sending messages
- Integrated virtual presence
- Multiple tickertapes
- Message processing rules
- Secure messaging
- Windows desktop integration.
Enhancements:
- Reduced CPU usage on Mac OS X from unusable levels to below 10%. Further reductions await improvements to SWTs animation timer support.
- Updated to SWT 3.1. SWT 3.1 significantly improves support for Linux, Solaris and OS X and this update fixes various bugs on both platforms, including truncated text in combo boxes on OS X.
- Added full application menu support for OS X, including support for accelerator keys for the Preferences command and other common commands.
- The docking default location has been changed to the top of the screen on OS X so it appears under the main menu. This works better than at the bottom, which is often used by the dock.
- The currently active presence status is now shown as checked on the status menu.
- Reduced the sensitivity of Stickers "idle detection" logic to reduce liklihood of mouse jitter affecting accuracy.
- Now tries to use a shortened version of the local domain in the default user name if available e.g. "user@dsto" rather than "user@sticker". If a domain is available, it is also suggested as a presence group default.
- Fixed a bug that was hiding subscribed "personal" groups in the preference window.
- The Windows installer no longer installs Sticker as a startup item for all users, just the local user.
- The Escape key no longer exits Sticker.
- Message actions "Beep" and "Mark read" can now be negated (i.e. can specify "Do not beep" and "Mark unread").
- Added "Copy Message" command to ticker context menu.
- Disabled auto hide for Gnome. Will be re-enabled when its implemented.
- Improved the order and naming of message actions.
- Fixed error when using a scope combined with "*" for Elvin connections.
- Fixed problems with launching the system default browser for opening attachments. No longer requires workaround for Firefox users on Windows and users of any browser on OS X and Linux.
- The "Online People" window is now titled "People Online" for consistency.
- The Messages Window and message composition dialogs now appear as top-level windows on Windows and Gnome (they are now visible in the taskbar).
- Autopopup now works correctly on OS X.
- Fixed problems with presence status sometimes showing Sticker as offline when in fact it is connected. This often occured after a server restart.
- Now executes a full reconnection cycle if disconnected for more than 30 seconds. This works around various reported but intermittent errors that seem to be due to the auto-reconnection logic in the Java Elvin SDK.
