What's New in This Release:

· Bugfix: Buddy List window will now remember it's previous size when you dock it.
· Bugfix: MyIM will read your preferences before the buddy list is resized to determine how you want it shown. (prevents all toolbars and buttons from being nuked until you manually refresh it)
· Added: Ability to hide/show the Buddy List menu, and/or the Online and List Setup tabs.
· Added: Mouseover effects for MyIM and CloneIM buttons. Redesigned CloneIM button.
· Added: Resized ComboBox on Sign On window, so more than 3 names show at once.
· Added: MyIM now creates an entry in the Add/Remove Programs, and can be reinstalled/uninstalled from there.
