Changes for version 2.91:

• Directory refresh is smoother.
• Multiple servers tagged with various general interests. The old server can be accessed via the "classic" tab in the new interface. The classic server will eventually be phased out.
• Net|accept calls was moved to the call screening setup page, as it should have been in the first place.
• Resizable directory window.

Changes for version 2.77:
 

• Better Audio/Video sync for zap messages recorded at 8 frames per second or more. Cdc32 also syncs up your old zap messages (with varying degrees of success.)
• Invisibility in the directory.
• Direct Video/Audio zap messages. Cdc32 now tries to send zaps directly if it can.
• Lots of bugs fixed and minor performance improvements.
• Better handling of broken video capture drivers (Logitech, are you reading this?)
• Faster refreshing of the directory.
• No more rooms inside of rooms (nobody seemed to know what to do with them :-))
• New advanced menu on the zap list allows control of individual entries.
• Session IGNORE when someone calls you. Allows you to ignore people that are calling you repeatedly.
• The directory hides all users that you ignore, as well as hiding you from those you ignore.
• Better focus handling. When a box unexpectedly pops up while you are typing, it won't disrupt your typing as in previous versions.
• No more super-spams. Only 20 people at a time can be spammed. Future versions of cdc32 will have a super-spam button to make random chat requests.
• BUGS THAT WON'T BE FIXED: if two people are using different versions of cdc32, and one is using the G-rated area, and the other is in the Adult area,  some direct zap messages may not be delivered properly between the two of them. WORKAROUND: both should upgrade to version 2.77.

Changes for version 2.31:
 

• CDC32 is now ADWARE. There is no longer a color timeout. It is full color all the time. CDC32 now displays advertisements in order to support maintenance and development of new features. If you pay for CDC32, you get a version of the software that doesn't have advertising.
• There is now a G-rated section in addition to an Adults-only section. You can switch between the sections if you want. You can also lock the rating so it cannot be changed after installation. Calls and zaps can optionally be filtered based on what rating you are in.
• CDC32 now sends most zap messages (those without audio and video) directly if it can. If it can't, it automatically falls back to sending through the server.
• The zap list is now COLORIZED based on whether a user is in your online list or not. Click the help on the zap list to get details on what the colors mean.
• Bug fixes for a few nasty crashes, especially those that were caused right at shutdown.
• If you have unread messages when you exit, CDC32 prompts you and will optionally delete all the unread messages. A quick and easy way to empty a full mailbox.
• The directory listing is now sorted in a special way.
• IMPORTANT... READ THIS... Starting with this release, email address are not displayed to other users of the system, and in addition, the server does not send out email addresses (even to users of older versions of the software). Email addresses are now only used internally at Dwyco, Inc. It is our policy to never disclose your email address to other parties.  In order to use the automatic password retrieval feature, you must enter an email address that is valid. Entering an email address is still OPTIONAL, but if you leave your password blank, you will not be able to retrieve your password easily if you lose it.

Changes for version 2.16:

• You can now IGNORE users. Ignoring someone causes their messages to be dropped on the floor and their calls to be automatically rejected.
• You can see if someone is online or not in the directory. Users with red and blue next to their names are online, others are offline.
• The Zap Messages you send are now saved along with the messages sent to you. They can be displayed by checking a box in the "Show old messages" dialog.
• Lots of bug fixes.
• Message viewer boxes are now resizable.

Changes for version 2.00:

• Much of the UI has been revamped to look a bit better.
• Zap Messages allow you to send audio and video messages to someone even though they are not currently online. They are notified the next time they start CDC32, or immediately if they are online when you send the message.
• Users can create rooms and protect them with a password. Only the user that created the room can delete it. Rooms can be created inside other rooms, allowing people to generate their own chat systems.
• Better setup procedures when you first start the program. The Wizard takes you through the audio and video setup.
• Dynamic bandwidth adjustment for video links. Removes the necessity for hand adjustment that was present in version 0.95. Make conferencing much more user friendly.
• Easier to use connection setups. Common link configurations are available from a single click of a button instead of the more general connect box as in 0.95.

Changes for version 0.95:

• Much of the UI has been revamped to look a bit better.
• The Toolbar is now configurable to have big, small, or no buttons.
• Video is now COLOR, if your hardware supports it. In the unregistered shareware version, color transmission and reception is limited to several minutes total time.
• Private chat is now supported. In addition, private chat is "real-time", rather than line-at-a-time.
• There is now an option to QUICKCONNECT to someone. This automates connecting, but the user doesn't get a chance to select the media types to be sent/received over the link.
• When CDC32 is started from the command line with an option, it is assumed to be an IP address or hostname to be connected to. This allows CDC32 to be used with ICQ.
