[DPP-Announce] Saros Release 13.12.6

[Zieris, F. <Fra...@fu...>]

Dear Saros users,

The Saros Team got some more developers and so we are pleased to announce
the release 13.12.6. This release fixes bugs, and brings new features and
improvements.

   * Now you can send and use hyperlinks via chat.

   * Cleaner "Create Account form" and detailed invitation page. Now you see
     the nickname of the inviter on the invitation page, and you get
     detailed information about the file count and total file size also for 
     partially shared projects.

   * You could now enable/disable all four sound events separately. These
     sound events are "contact comes online/offline" and "chat message
     sent/received". Prior to Saros 13.12.6 you could only enable/disable 
     the sound when receiving a chat message.

   * We changed the logic of the follow mode toolbar button. Clicking on the
     button will now switch the follow mode to the next session user. 
     Furthermore a dropdown menu has been added to select a specific user 
     who should be followed.

   * Unfortunately we had to cut off one piece of functionality: only the
     session host can add projects to sessions. This was a necessary 
     regression to gain more stability and ensure data integrity. We're
     working on this and are confident to be able to re-enable this feature
     soon.

Additionally, you will find many minor fixes and usability improvements.
Check out the changelog:

For stability reasons some internal changes have been made.
As a consequence Saros 13.12.6 is *not* compatible with previous versions,
so that all session participants need Saros 13.12.6 to work together.

Install and update Saros 13.12.6 via our Eclipse Update Site:
