<login>
<password>
<destinationNo>
<message>
[<proxyHost> <proxyPort>]
- Added spell checker. It can be enabled to check the text
as you type and/or just as the text is being sent. To
add new dictionaries download the required dictionary
(for free) from the OpenOffice wiki
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries)
and save it in the Jelly SMS/dictionaries folder. Note that
currently the dictionaries must be in a .zip archive. We
will provide an automated mechanism for installing new
dictionaries in the next release.

dialog. And there is now also a button that allows you
to test the Internet access. A connectivity check also
happens in the background after the user logs in.

look and feel (called "metal") to look like an app
native to your Operating System. The number of different
look and feels available will depend on the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) you are using.
- User preferences are no longer stored in config files.
This is important for Vista users, as a default
unmodified Vista installation will not allow a Java app
write to the hard drive. Preferences are now saved on a
per user basis, so each user can set Jelly SMS up in the way
that suits him/her.
- Added GUI window for editing the phone book.
- Added a tooltip to show the selected contact's phone
number when the mouse hovers the contacts drop down.
- We now correctly store dialog sizes (on a per user
basis) and will restore each dialog (and the main app)
in the same position it was in when it was closed.

any problems, we can use this as a debugging aid.
