- Fixed a problem where the Tools -> Options dialog would not open after resetting settings.
- The post window should now really close when posting to a friend's wall, instead of redirecting to gwmicro.com.

- The remaining post message character count is now presented in the status bar rather than in the corresponding field name.
Version 1.0.0.154
8/7/2013 4:58:46 PM
- Changed the likes hotkey from Control-L to Control-I to avoid a conflict with the links hotkey (which was originally Control-L)
- The post window edit box is now limited to 1000 characters, the same as the Facebook API limitation. The remaining character count is included in the post edit box's field name.
- Filtering should be more accurate when new items are added.
Version 1.0.0.153
8/1/2013 9:39:34 AM

- Added Control-X for Exit, Control-G for Groups, Control-L for Likes, Control-T for Timeline, and F1 for documentation.
- When posting to a friend's wall, you'll now get the normal Facebook web dialog. Rather than having SocialEyes attempt to interact with the form automatically, now you can enter the required information at your leisure.
Version 1.0.0.152
7/26/2013 4:59:11 PM
- Fixed a problem that could cause multiple status list views to get created when posting new status updates.
Version 1.0.0.151
7/26/2013 4:13:19 PM
- Opening a private message conversation, and then closing the conversation, would cause the message window to close. This has been fixed.
- You can now choose to have the notification, event, message, and friend request counts presented in the title bar. This is an optional feature (refer to Tools -> Options -> General)
Version 1.0.0.150

7/22/2013 8:03:45 AM
- More tweaking to the auto-update status feature.
Version 1.0.0.148
7/19/2013 4:13:45 PM
- Fixed the problem of the "more" option not working.
- Added Control-F5 to do a "hard" refresh on the status list. This will help work around the issue of not getting automatic updates by providing a way to get manual updates while we work on the automatic issue.
Version 1.0.0.147
7/19/2013 10:46:41 AM
- New chat windows will now play a notification tone (by default)
- Fixed an error that would occur when attempting to save chat logs
- Conversation window edit box was removed. It was always read only, and until conversations can be interacted with, it was pointless to have it there.
- Added an option to hide your own posts
- The chat context menu item and chat button in the user window are now correctly disabled if chat credentials are missing.
- Profile pictures are now cached per session
- Fixed a problem where custom wav files were not being played
- Added the beginnings of user connections. These allow you to review user details, like books, movies, music, and other interests. You can access the connections window by selecting the connections button in the user window. The documentation for this window will be completed when the connection window itself is completed.
- To access some of the new functionality, is it strongly recommended that you log out and log back in, and confirm any access questions you get from Facebook.
- This version significantly changes the way that updates are accessed. If you find that you're suddenly unable to log in, that's because Facebook has restricted SocialEyes from accessing its resources. This version attempts to limit the number of connections made to the Facebook server, while still maintaining status updates. Thank you for your patience while these issues are resolved.

- The popup window and notifications now respect the filters.
- Fixed a problem where duplicate filters could be added.
- Fixed a problem where, after starting SocialEyes, you would just hear, "Please wait," and nothing else would happen.
- Note that the documentation still references the initial release. This will be updated in a future version.
