V1.10 beta

This is V1.10 of Discord Messenger (beta).

Available are four downloads:

• MSVC Discord Messenger - Compiled with the vs141_xp (VS2017 Windows XP) build tools, can run on Windows XP SP2 and up.
• MinGW Discord Messenger - Compiled with mingw-w64*, can run on Windows NT 4†, 2000 and up, is generally more compatible with older systems.
• MinGW ANSI Discord Messenger - Compiled with mingw-w64*, can run on Windows NT 3.1, Windows 95 and up, but is recommended only when the Unicode versions don't run.
• Symbols - Useful for debugging, but not much else. Don't download if you don't know what you're doing!

Do not run the MinGW ANSI version if the Unicode versions are compatible with your operating system.

In addition to v1.09, this build adds the following:

• Added support for Pentium and Pentium MMX processors for the MinGW builds by using a custom mingw-w64 based toolchain.
• Added a button to open downloaded files directly.
• Added formatting to message reply previews and the server description box.
• Removed the email and password boxes from the login prompt. This should reduce confusion and make it clear that you need your Discord token to log in.
• Fixed a bug where pasting an image from the clipboard in Windows NT 3.x would cause the image to be weirdly mangled.
• Fixed a deadlock with the update checker. This finally allows this build to download newer versions when they're found.
• Fixed a bug where 401 Unauthorized responses from certain CDN links would cause you to log out even if your token is already valid.
• Fixed a bug where images marked as spoilers weren't actually spoilered when uploaded.
• Fixed a bug where blank server icons would be left behind when leaving servers. Clicking on these blank server icons would crash the client in a nasty way.
• Fixed a bug where game presences weren't parsed correctly in servers.
• Fixed channel ordering in the channel list. Voice channels are now always below text channels.
• Fixed channel ordering on Windows NT 3.x. Some categories were sorted incorrectly, some empty categories were left behind, some channels were in the incorrect order, and DMs were ordered by channel ID instead of last message sent.
• Fixed a bug where you could launch more than one Discord Messenger instance which would cause user settings to desync.
• Fixed a bug where you would lose your token if you shut down your computer while Discord Messenger is running and this is your first login.
• Fixed a bug where the "Copy Text" functionality is broken on ANSI builds.
• Fixed several bugs where italic text was cut off or wrongly spaced in messages and other formatted text.
• Fixed an issue where your Discord token was used during download of attachments from Discord CDN. This is not necessary.
• Fixed several memory leaks.

NOTICE: The MinGW ANSI version was reuploaded about an hour after release to fix a bug where spaces would have a width of zero inside of messages on specifically Windows 9x.

*- Custom version of the mingw-w64 toolchain. See [doc/pentium-toolchain/README.md](the Pentium mingw-w64 toolchain build guide) for an explanation on how to replicate it yourself.
†- The Unicode MinGW version was never tested on Windows NT 4 so there are no guarantees that it will work. The ANSI version has, however.

V1.08 rc2 beta

This is V1.08 release candidate 2 of Discord Messenger (beta).

You DO NOT need to use this release if you are using Windows 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10, or 11. ONLY use this version if you are using Windows NT 3.x, NT 4.0, 95, or 98. Otherwise, use V1.07 instead.

Compared to V1.08rc1, this adds support for Windows NT 3.1.

NOTE: This adds a copy of MSVCRT.dll, that I pulled from Windows 98, if I remember correctly. Use your own if you don't trust this one.

NOTE: All dialogs will be white because this is considered a "Windows NT 3.1" app. Patch offset 0xC8 / 200 in DiscordM.exe from 03 00 0A 00 to 04 00 00 00 to fix.

V1.08 rc1 beta

This is V1.08 release candidate 1 of Discord Messenger (beta).

DO NOT USE if you are using Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10, or 11. ONLY use this version if you are using Windows 95 or 98. Use V1.07 instead.

Compared to V1.07a and V1.07, this adds support for Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95 RTM.

This might also work on NT 3.1 and 3.5 but this has been untested so far.

This doesn't require the Winsock2 update and Crypt32/Msoss.dll pair anymore. However, installing Winsock2 might make Discord Messenger function marginally faster.

NOTE: This adds a copy of MSVCRT.dll, that I pulled from Windows 98, if I remember correctly. Use your own if you don't trust this one.

V1.07a beta

This is V1.07a of Discord Messenger (beta).

DO NOT USE if you are using Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10, or 11. ONLY use this version if you are using Windows 95 or 98. Use V1.07 instead.

Compared to V1.07, this adds support for Windows 95.

Prerequisites to run Discord Messenger on Windows 95:

• You should be running the 4.00.950 C version of Windows 95. Support for earlier versions of Windows 95 is being worked on.
• The Winsock2 Update: https://web.archive.org/web/20060319182152if_/http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/e/0/0e05231b-6bd1-4def-a216-c656fbd22b4e/W95ws2setup.exe
• Crypt32.dll and Msoss.dll from Windows 98, or Windows 95 Plus! Pack

NOTE: Change the message style to one different from Gradient, because there will be graphical glitches otherwise! This will be fixed in V1.08.
