Minor maintenance update to fix the most common issues affecting Textual.

Textual 4.1.8 is the last version of Textual that works with Mac OS Lion (10.7). The decision to discontinue support for Mac OS Lion was made to favor newer technologies in an upcoming major updrade known as Textual 5. Users running Mac OS Lion and Textual will continue to receive technical assistance with the application until September 5, 2015. The development team of Textual sincerly apologize to anyone affected by this decision.

• Fixed the user list not populating correctly under certain conditions.

• Fixed SSL certificates not being marked as untrusted when the name of the certificate does not match the configured server address.
• Confirmation prompts for untrusted SSL certificates no longer hang Textual when no decision is made within a certain time interval.
• As a result of security concerns, automatic approval of untrusted SSL certificates no longer occurs during a reconnect on disconnect. An untrusted certificate can be marked as trusted using the confirmation dialog to allow for reconnects without a prompt.

• In an effort to improve overall responsiveness during launch, a maximum of 1,000 message are now archived per-channel. The message archive, which is read to playback old messages on launch, previously had no limit which over time increased the loading time after opening Textual. This change will not be immediately noticeable as the limit does not take effect until the first save occurs.

• Miscellaneous, boring bug fixes of little interest.

This update is recommended for all customers as it contains several critical fixes.

Beyond fixes, Textual 4.1.4 includes the following changes:

• An SSL certificate is now considered untrusted upon connection if the configured server address does not match the name of the assigned certificate.
• The option to speak notifications will now wait for other applications to finish speaking before Textual speaks a notification. This logic change was made to stop Textual from interrupting other applications when reading aloud.
• Alert sounds now honor the configured volume and output device in System Preferences.
• The ignore and unignore commands no longer accept any type of input. Instead, they open the Address Book user interface for the purposes of adding and removing ignores. This change has been made so that Textual can provide realtime validation for the ignore mask so that they can be properly formatted.
• Empty encrypted (e.g. "+OK ") lines are now replaced with a single whitespace.
• When both the primary and fallback configured encoding on a server fails, ASCII is now used as the only alternative.
• Textual will now check whether system SOCKS are actually enabled before trying to use whatever is configured. The old behavior was to check whether a proxy was configured at all. Now, the checkbox that enables the proxy in System Preferences is honored.

• Clicking a nickname in the centered channel view will now highlight all messages created by that user. Another click will then reverse the process. This feature is limited to the styles distributed with Textual. It does not automatically apply to custom, 3rd party styles.

• Added support for identifying to UserServ instead of NickServ. See the results of the commands "/defaults help" and "/defaults features" for information on enabling this feature.

• The IP address of the server being connected to is now shown when connecting to an IRC network so that the end user can know if they are trying to connect to more than one server when downtime occurs for an IRC network.

• When automatic reconnect on disconnect is enabled for a server, Textual will no longer make reconnect attempts until the local network is actually available.

This update includes fixes to try and improve the stability of the application under certain conditions. These fixes include:

• Fixed an issue that resulted in channels not updating when new messages are received.
• Fixed an issue related to unexpected behavior when waking from sleep.
• Fixed a hang due to certain text being entered into the main text field.
• Fixed the channel list dialog not closing when deleting a server resulting in a crash.
• Fixed an issue that may have resulted in some users not seeing inline images when enabled.
• Fixed duplicate entries appearing in the channel list when sharing with iCloud.
• Fixed a few user interface elements when changing preferences using iCloud sharing.

• Added support for identifying with NickServ services (or other) using an SSL certificate. More Information: http://www.codeux.com/textual/wiki/Using-CertFP.wiki

• Steps have been taking to make communication over SSL even more secure. During connect, Textual will now present the actual SSL certificate unless the "Always trust" option is selected. Even then, it will show the certificate again if it changes so that you can see who you are always connecting to.

• The dock icon badge colors have been swapped to reflect the server list. A red badge now represents the total highlight count with the green badge representing unread messages.

• The timestamps within log files now follow a standardized format for easier computerized parsing.

• Fixed several default IRC networks not connecting by removing them completely from the pre-packaged list.
• Fixed global notices sent by an IRC operator not always being shown by Textual.
• Fixed the Extensions category of the getscripts installer not working.
• Fixed certain 3rd party applications not working correctly when trying to move or resize Textual.
• Fixed Textual failing to initiate a private message when the sender's nickname contains international characters.
