New
- Get a Screen Name opens VesperNet's messenger sign-up page, https://agora.vespernet.net/messenger (0.1.0 sent people to the wrong page).
- Send File: send pictures and files to a buddy with the Send File button in an IM window. They choose Accept or Decline; files land in Downloads/HIM. Pictures show right in the conversation; click one to open it full size.
- Conversations are kept on your computer, so an IM window opens where you left off.

- Suggested buddies on VesperNet: John (who made HIM) and SmarterChild, if you'd like them. Not now hides the suggestion.
- Chat rooms: on servers that keep chat history, you see what was said before you came in. Other Hotline users see the ICQ flower (icon 25901) beside you.
- Emoji you type go out as classic text faces (:D, (Y)...), which every Hotline client can show.
