- Facebook Integration - Users can now connect to their Facebook account and send/receive new messages from their Facebook friends.
- New Mobile Version - We've completely revamped the mobile version to add chat rooms, fix bugs, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous improvements.
- HTML5 Desktop Notifications - You can now select to use HTML5 desktop notifications in ArrowChat to notify users when a new message is received.
- Reworked Chat History - Chat history has been reworked to always show the last 20 messages. Scrolling up will load more messages in the window. The user can click 'Clear Conversation' to delete this history at any time.
- Improved Scrolling - The chat windows will no longer automatically scroll to the bottom when a new message is received unless the scroll bar is already at the bottom.
- Sending Message Indicator - There is now an indicator that the message is sending after a user sends the message.
- Special Admin Colors - Administrators can now have a special background and text color in the buddy list and chat room list. There is also a new CSS class attached to these users for further customization.
- Improved Sounds - The new message sound will no longer play when the window is already in focus. This also fixed several issues with the sound playing when it shouldn't.
- ArrowChat Maintenance - Added a new maintenance cleanup in the admin panel that will get rid of all the junk in your database making ArrowChat fun faster.
