2 months after releasing Smuxi 0.6.4 I am proud to announce the first bugfix release, 0.6.4.1 codenamed 'Claire'. This version fixes all bugs that were reported since the release of 0.6.4.

The most notable change is the optimized nickname color feature which has been redesigned to select colors which will look good on your screen. The algorithm is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. This feature is now enabled by default for new installs. Existing users are encouraged to visit the preferences to enable the feature. To assist in tracking your conversations, nicknames in your replies will now be colored too.

The default font for Windows was changed from Monospace to FixedSys which should give a much improved experience.

A full list of changes is included below.

• Feature #192: Allow adding options to the ssh command.
