1. Updated system for bug reports
When an error occurs on the server that works as a GUI application, you will see the following window:
It displays the program version, a unique BugID that you can "google" on the official forum, and a button for Help and program relaunch.
If you press the Help button, the Help page opens on the official website (in language based on your MyChat server interface), and an Explorer with the folder where all the error reports are located.
After one minute, if you do not restart the server with the button, the window closes, and the server relaunches automatically.
The same thing with a client application. Now this operation is simpler and more convenient.
2. Improvements for MyChat on iOS and Android
In MyChat for iOS, you can send not only files and images from a gallery but videos too.
Moreover, we have finished the display for messages with formatted text for all mobile applications.
3. Various improvements
Remade control for repeat launch of MyChat Server and MyChat Client. Now the work is more reliable and faster. MyChat Client processes commands quickly. For example, sending files in the chat (program launch from a command line, /sendfile).
We have also added the option to set up a precise geometrical size of the call window, and its position and monitor if there is more than one.

Development history with developers' comments
MyChat Client
[+] (win32) option to set up a precise geometrical size of the call window, and its position and monitor if there is more than one;

[-] (win32) various issues when changing the window chat size and scrolling message history to the end (resize, F11, calling from the tray, etc). The text is not always scrolled at the very end of the window, increasing the risk to miss an incoming message. Fixed;
[-] (win32) old Windows operating systems (e.g. Windows XP/Windows Server 2003) do not provide a system function SetWindowDisplayAffinity, that is why the program crashes. We have added a control, however, the feature that forbids taking screenshots won't work on such OS;

[*] improved system for error reports;
[-] client updating does not work when the web server's cache is off;

5. How to update to the latest version?
Both commercial and free versions are updated in the same way. The server is updated first, then the clients. In general, this process is performed automatically.
