1 v0.8.4 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
2
3 * Continuing to fix my stupid mistakes...
4
5 - When a queried nick did a nick change, it might have crashed irssi
6 - read ChangeLog for some other minor changes
7
8 v0.8.3 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
9
10 - Perl scripts handling channel parts/kicks/quits printed some
11 errors.
12 - Connecting to IPv6 servers without IPv4 record didn't work
13 - When queries were auto-created by you using /MSG and you had
14 /SET autoclose_query non-zero, the query was always destroyed
15 almost immediately.
16 - Fix to some stupid ircds not sending us 001 numeric, but
17 beginning from MOTD
18
19 v0.8.2 2002-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
20
21 * Changed the list of scripts distributed with irssi. Separated
22 example scripts to scripts/examples/ directory.
23
24 * Hated infobar was removed, the same info is now in topicbar in
25 empty windows. I don't think it would disturb anyone in there.
26 If you still preferred always-empty topicbars, use
27 /SBAR topic REMOVE topic_empty
28
29 + Added info_eol field to theme. If true, timestamp and server tag
30 are added to end of line, not at beginning.
31 + If -4 or -6 option is used with /SERVER, irssi now forces the
32 connection using the given protocol or fails.
33 + /SET max_wildcard_modes (default 6) - if a wildcard to /OP, /DEOP,
34 /VOICE or /DEVOICE matches more nicks than this, -yes option is
35 required. This is trying to prevent accidental massops. Setting
36 it to 0 disables this check.
37 + Supports now correctly servers which use '.' char as channel owner
38 character in /NAMES list. Also supports multiple mode chars, eg.
39 @+nick (if some server actually used it).
40 + Never ignore kick message if you get kicked from channel.
41 + Sending irssi SIGHUP now does a /RELOAD - useful if you
42 accidentally messed up something which doesn't let you do the
43 /RELOAD inside irssi (eg. /SBAR prompt DISABLE).
44 + irssi-proxy: PROXY CTCP ON|OFF - proxy clients can send this
45 command to specify that they want to handle the received CTCP
46 requests. Useful for specifying who gets to handle DCCs.
47 + Added escape_char /BIND command. The next char after that would be
48 added as-is to input line.
49 - Writing lines longers than 1024 chars to input buffer crashed
50 irssi (stupid missing sizeof() bug :)
51 - Some UTF-8 fixes
52 - Better flood protection for lines with >100 chars
53 - Control characters aren't printed as-is in topicbar (or statusbars
54 in general) anymore
55 - /OPER can be now aborted by giving empty password
56 - Netjoin messages were buggy in +channels
57 - Part message parameter for /CYCLE was never used.
58 - Don't send -autosendcmd after /UPGRADE.
59 - /SET autoclose_query - now only last received private message
60 affects when the query is closed, ie. /WHOIS requests or nick
61 changes don't reset the counter.
62 - Foreground ANSI colors weren't working
63 - Deleting one character replaced cutbuffer with that character.
64 Also ^Y leaked memory.
65 - /SCRIPT LOAD looked scripts from prefix/lib dir, not prefix/share
66 where they were actually installed.
67 - Highascii chars in replaces block in theme files could have
68 crashed irssi.
69
70 v0.8.1 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
71
72 * Expected bugfix release :) Worst thing was that I forgot always to
73 debug why /cat /dev/urandom crashed irssi. Well, found two ways
74 that could make it happen.
75
76 - Irssi was linked with -lcurses AND -lncurses
77 - Logging could have produced GLib errors with certain conditions
78 - A few compiler warnings fixes
79
80 v0.8.0 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
81
82 * I really should make releases more often. Once in every two weeks
83 used to be nice. Maybe once in a month would be good now. There
84 was many reasons why this release took this long .. first being
85 addicted to books, then life stuff, then it took forever to figure
86 out that irssi was crashing under solaris (and not because of one
87 of the big changes I made while moving to IRC from solaris box).
88
89 And now.. well, after this release I'll start working more with
90 the yet another irssi rewrite :) The code is getting too ugly
91 again, and some things need rewriting to support some new features
92 more easily. It will take a while to get it all done, so I'll try
93 to keep updating this "stable" irssi as well.
94
95 There's too many changes since 0.7.98.3 (and .4 which was just
96 minor bugfix), about 6600 lines in ChangeLog. I'm not going to
97 read all that, so I'll just list the biggest changes that I can
98 remember now.
99
100 This version was supposed to be called 0.7.99, but since there
101 were so many changes, and I originally though of putting 0.8.0
102 out long time ago, and 0.7.100 would look stupid, I guess it's
103 time for 0.8.0 :)
104
105 + /UPGRADE - upgrade irssi to new version on-the-fly without
106 disconnecting from server, so other people won't even notice you
107 quit from IRC. This ONLY executes the new binary, it does NOT
108 download/compile/whatever irssi.
109 + UTF-8 support with /SET term_type UTF-8, default is "8bit".
110 It's also automatically detected from system locale (if supported).
111 + Fully configurable statusbar. Yes. FULLY. Don't bother asking if
112 something could be done with it, it can, just ask how. Well,
113 there's a few things I didn't have time/energy to finish:
114 window-specific statusbar groups and support for multiple input
115 lines in screen.
116 + Rewritten keyboard handling. No more the CTRL-X and ALT-x handling,
117 now you can create whatever keyboard combinations your terminal
118 can send to irssi.
119 + Rewritten text buffer (scrollback) handling.
120 + Irssi doesn't depend on curses anymore, so it can be installed
121 anywhere a working terminfo/termcap exists. This also allows us to
122 use all the possible colors terminal has (curses limits to 64), so
123 eg. %0 is now always black background, not the default terminal
124 background (%n).
125
126 Several systems have also terminfo/termcap database that doesn't
127 support colors, so I've added /SET term_force_colors option to
128 force ANSI-style colors. Note that eg. BitchX does this by default.
129
130 Getting rid of curses allows also one great thing for you people
131 copy&pasting long urls :) If a long word gets split to two lines,
132 doubleclicking the word selects it from both lines.
133 + Rewritten server event redirections. Before it was pretty easy to
134 mess up irssi's expectations of what server sends, and some things
135 might have stayd in the buffer forever. Especially notify lists
136 messed up /WHOIS requests for the notified people. Now all this
137 should be history and it's a lot easier for scripts to use the
138 redirections as well.
139 + New ICB chat protocol plugin - very basic and doesn't support
140 nicklist, but works. :)
141 + --home and --config parameters to specify alternate ~/.irssi
142 directory or config file.
143 + Scripts can be unloaded separately with /SCRIPT UNLOAD. You can get
144 a list of runnning scripts with /SCRIPT.
145 + /SERVER PURGE [<target>] - purge the output buffer (for given
146 target). Useful for example if you accidentally paste 100 lines :)
147 The buffer is automatically purged if you get kicked from channel,
148 or if you /PART the channel and there's more than 10 lines in
149 output buffer.
150
151 v0.7.98.3 2001-03-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
152
153 * Highlighting changes: /HILIGHT -color, /SET hilight_color and
154 /SET hilight_act_color don't accept the numeric color value
155 anymore, the colors must be the %code format (see the beginning
156 of docs/formats.txt). The color can also have background and
157 underline/blinking set (%F%Y = blinking yellow)
158
159 * Statusbar rewrite: Statusbar should finally work well when
160 there's not enough space for it in screen. Least important items
161 start shrinking/disappearing before more important ones, activity
162 list should be always fully visible now.
163
164 /SET statusbar_xxx settings have been removed, everything is
165 configurable from theme now. Even the texts in the statusbar
166 items. See end of default.theme.
167
168 FULLY configurable statusbar with possibility to create your own
169 items and support for multiple lines will hopefully come soon.
170
171 + /WINDOW CLOSE [<first> [<last>] - you can close multiple
172 windows at once now.
173 + Emphasis work with actions now
174 + If there's any unknown settings in your configuration file, irssi
175 asks at startup if they should be removed.
176 + All abstracts in theme files now default to same as in
177 default.theme, so you may override only those you want to change
178 leaving the rest commented out.
179 - Irssi crashed when specifying vhost to use (not always?)
180 - Fixed one nasty usage of already free'd memory. Hopefully solves
181 some weird crashes?
182 - Some perl fixes, Irssi::Nick and "massjoin" signal didn't work
183 properly which broke all auto-op scripts.
184 - If one server fails because of DNS error, don't stop reconnecting
185 to entire chatnet.
186 - Updated default config to have max_query_chans=1 in undernet to
187 avoid those channel syncing problems.
188 - /SERVER didn't autojoin channels if it was used when you weren't
189 connected to any other servers
190 - /CONNECT -ircnet didn't load ircnet specific settings correctly
191 - /SET scroll_page_count - don't crash if /0 is given. Works now
192 properly if /0.xx is given.
193 - ^O did reset only colors, not underlines etc.
194 - Several fixes with handling blinking text
195 - Irssi crashed almost immediately with NetBSD/Alpha, fixed. Still
196 not sure if it was compiler bug or is my code just non-standard C.
197 - Reconnecting in IPv6 server shouldn't change to IPv4
198 - Irssi proxy didn't work properly with systems where irssi was
199 compiled with --enable-ipv6 but OS didn't support IPv6
200
201 v0.7.98.2 2001-03-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
202
203 + /LASTLOG: added -case option for case-sensitive matching.
204 -force option is now required to print lastlogs longer than
205 1000 lines.
206 + /BANTYPE -> /SET ban_type. /BAN: -type option added to override
207 default ban type.
208 + /NAMES: -ops -halfops -voices -normal options added.
209 /NAMES without parameters now prints nicklist in active channel,
210 /NAMES ** shows all nicks in all channels.
211 + delete_next_word key implemented, patch by Tinuk
212 + /SET beep_when_window_active - works with /SET beep_msg_level,
213 should we beep when the msg is printed to active window. If msg
214 is printed to some other window it always beeps.
215 + /JOIN #channel and /QUERY nick won't anymore automatically move
216 channel/query to active window but send a notice to user how to
217 move it. This was confusing people who did it accidentally.
218 + /SET autostick_split_windows (default ON) - should we do
219 /WINDOW STICK ON to all new split windows and hidden windows that
220 are created inside it. This hopefully makes it easier to use split
221 windows.
222 - All IPv6 problems are hopefully fixed. Everything now keeps both
223 v4 and v6 addresses in memory and at connect() time it's decided
224 which one should be used.
225 - /IGNORE * level printed GLib error. /RELOADing printed some
226 unignore texts. Autoignores had some problems.
227 - Using /LAYOUT SAVE with split windows crashed irssi at startup
228 when it tried to restore them..
229 - /WINDOW SHOW command didn't work properly
230 - /LAST -clear crashed if window contained only lastlog lines.
231 Beeping after /LAST -clear also could have crashed.
232 - HILIGHT level didn't work with logs.
233 - /SET prompt - if $T (target) had %c or something in it, it
234 shouldn't be treated as color code. So color codes can now be
235 used in /SET prompt string itself, but in none of the $variables
236 it uses.
237 - Generated help files had joined lines in chapter together but
238 didn't add spaces between lines.
239 - Statusbar could have gotten to endless loop when trying to give
240 more space to some item when there was no more available space.
241 - When /SET autoclose_windows is ON, don't destroy windows if they
242 have some level set (like /join -w + /part in status window)
243 - If GLIB was unpacked to irssi directory, make install tried to
244 install it also.
245 - Always save theme to ~/.irssi/ no matter where it was read from.
246 - If /SET names_max_width was too low, irssi crashed
247 - /CONNECT -ircnet "" - even if someone does this don't make the
248 server tag empty :)
249 - /QUERYing #channel that was already /JOINed crashed irssi after
250 a while
251 - /SET -clear printed GLib error when done to boolean settings
252
253 v0.7.98.1 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
254
255 - fixed stupid remote crash with nick_match_msg()
256
257 v0.7.98 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
258
259 * Theme files aren't fully compatible with old ones, there's a few
260 naming changes and some new items. Added lots of comments and help
261 to default.theme, so creating themes should be a bit easier now :)
262
263 * Perl scripts aren't compatible with old ones anymore. Biggest
264 change is that $object->values()->{xxx} calls are now just
265 $object->{xxx}, but there's a lot of other changes as well.
266 docs/perl.txt is now up to date so you may want to read it.
267
268 * Several settings have changed their names:
269 /SET beep_on_msg -> beep_msg_level
270 /SET activity_levels -> activity_msg_level
271 /SET hilight_levels -> activity_hilight_level
272 /SET noact_channels -> activity_hide_targets
273
274 + /SET prompt, /SET prompt_window - Specifies the text in prompt.
275 'prompt' is used when channel or query is active in window and
276 'prompt_window' is used with empty windows. You can also use
277 % color codes in prompt.
278 + /EXEC - rewrote it, has now all the same features as EPIC and a
279 few more, like "interactive shell in window" support. See
280 /HELP exec for information.
281 + /SAVEWINDOWS renamed to /LAYOUT SAVE. Added /LAYOUT RESET.
282 /LAYOUT SAVE now saves split windows and queries properly.
283 Windows that contain saved channels are never used for anything
284 else (ie. if the saved channel isn't joined, no other channels
285 can be joined to the window)
286 + /WINDOW SERVER: added -sticky and -unsticky options. If window
287 server is sticky, it will never be automatically changed, and it
288 cannot be changed to anything else without -unsticky option.
289 Should be useful for people who want status or msgs windows for
290 each server.
291 + /WINDOW STICK [ON|OFF|<ref#>] - stick window to specified split
292 window. After setting window to sticky non-sticky windows can't
293 replace the active sticky one. Each split window can have it's own
294 sticky window group.
295 + /WINDOW LEFT, /WINDOW RIGHT - Go to previous/next window in the
296 current sticky window group, or if there's no sticky windows go to
297 previous/next non-sticky window. Alt-Left/Right keys default to
298 these commands now.
299 + /WINDOW NUMBER: -sticky option added. Closing windows before a
300 sticky window won't change refnum of the sticky window and windows
301 after it.
302 + /SET windows_auto_renumber - should window refnums be packed when
303 some window is destroyed in the middle
304 + /SET scroll_page_count - how many lines to scroll with pgup/pgdn.
305 either an absolute value, or if the count starts with '/', it's
306 calculated as lines_in_screen/count. The default is /2.
307 + /SET timestamp_format specifies the format to use with timestamps
308 in "man strftime" format.
309 + Emphasis (*word*, _word_) replacing works better now. It doesn't
310 try to change nicks or any non-words. This time people might want
311 to actually use it :)
312 + Nick completion logic changes, should work better now. Changed
313 meaning of /SET completion_keep_publics to be number of publics
314 to keep instead of time to keep them.
315 + /HILIGHT: Added -priority option (deciding which color should stay
316 in activity list), /SET hilight_level to specify the default level
317 for /HILIGHTs. -word option renamed to -full. Added new -word
318 option meaning to highlight only the found word in line. Removed
319 -nonick option but added -line which means pretty much the same.
320 -actcolor specifies what color to show in activity list, default
321 is the same as -color or if there's no -color it defaults to
322 /SET hilight_act_color. Colors can have background color set with
323 fg,bg. Works with activity list too, useful for example blinking.
324 + DCC rewrite. File names with spaces work properly, you can have
325 multiple dcc chats with same people (or more useful, same nick in
326 different ircnets), /DCC CHAT|GET|RESUME with no arguments accepts
327 the last request, notifies if dcc request was sent to channel,
328 warns about connecting to lowports, /SET dcc_autoget_lowports
329 specifies if autogetting should work with lowports, complains of
330 invalid DCC CTCPs instead of ignoring, /SET dcc_autoresume is like
331 dcc_autoget except resumes the files if possible.
332 + /NAMES can print columns with different widths now. You can change
333 the max. width with /SET names_max_width and /SET names_max_columns
334 settings. Default is max. 6 columns.
335 + /LASTLOG: Added options -file <filename> for writing lastlog to
336 file, -window <ref#|name> for specifying which window's lastlog to
337 print (output is always to active window) and -clear option to
338 remove all lastlog lines from window.
339 + /OPER [<nick> [<password>]] - syntax changed. If password isn't
340 given, it's asked.
341 + /FOREACH server|channel|query|window <command>
342 + /UNBAN <ref#> works. /BAN list shows reference numbers.
343 + /PERL <code> - runs perl code (like /PERL Irssi::print "hello")
344 + /CLEAR -all - clear all windows
345 + /KICKBAN and /KNOCKOUT accepts multiple nicks separated with commas
346 + /SET theme - says what theme was changed to, and complains if
347 theme wasn't found. Setting theme's name to "xxx.theme" now works,
348 too many people tried it with the .theme suffix :)
349 + /WHOIS without parameters in query does now same as
350 /WII <queried nick>
351 + IPv6 updates: /CONNECT, /SERVER, /SERVER ADD: added -4 and -6
352 options for specifying if we should connect to IPv4 or IPv6 address
353 of the server. If -host or /SET hostname is set, irssi determines
354 from it if it should use IPv4 or v6. If irssi still isn't sure of
355 it, it fallbacks to /SET resolve_prefer_ipv6
356 + Logs and rawlogs write to files through special "write buffer". By
357 default everything gets written immediately, but you can make it
358 wait until there's specified amount of data in buffer or write once
359 in a hour or so. Useful for people who want to keep hard disk at
360 sleep at nights but still want to log. /SET write_buffer_mins and
361 /SET write_buffer_kb specifies when to flush the buffer.
362 /FLUSHBUFFER flushes it immediately.
363 + LOTS of other smaller things that should make your life easier :)
364 - /SET dcc_autorename OFF didn't work before.
365 - Irssi compiled with IPv6 support didn't work properly with some
366 operating systems.
367 - Theme saving to home dir didn't work correctly if globaldir
368 already had the same theme.
369 - If log file locking failed, irssi always assumed it was locked
370 while it could have been because filesystem didn't support locking
371 or some other problem..
372
373 v0.7.97 2000-12-03 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
374
375 * Added templates for themes - this allowed separation of the
376 actual texts and styling/coloring. See default.theme file for
377 more information. You should remove your old ~/.irssi/default.theme
378 or at least merge it with the defaul.theme.
379
380 * If GLIB sources are found unpacked from some subdirectory, always
381 compile it and use it even if GLIB is already installed somewhere
382 else.
383
384 + /SCROLLBACK REDRAW - redraw contents of current window according
385 to active formats, ie. changing theme updates the scrollback.
386 This requires /SET scrollback_save_formats ON.
387 + /SET log_theme <theme> - you can specify what theme to use for
388 writing texts to log file.
389 + /WAIT [-<server tag>] <milliseconds> - wait for <milliseconds>
390 before sending anything else to server
391 + /EXEC <command> - execute command and print it's output (stdout
392 only) to screen. (by Tinuk)
393 + Don't indent the next line when long word is split, this should
394 help a bit when copying long URLs.
395 + Remember who set the topic and when, display the info when using
396 /TOPIC.
397 + /SET emphasis - convert _underlined_ and *bold* words (and phrases)
398 to use real underlines/bolds. (by tommik)
399 + While waiting for more netsplits/netjoins, if anything else is
400 printed to screen, print the current netsplit/netjoin messages
401 before that text.
402 + Print multiple identical mode changes in one line
403 (mode +o nick by nick1, nick2, nick3)
404 + /WINDOW ITEM GOTO <name> - sets <name> active in current window
405 + /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <window#>|<name> - moves window item to another
406 window.
407 + /SET autocreate_windows - should we create new windows for new
408 window items or just place everything to one window
409 + /JOIN #already_joined_channel, /QUERY already_queried_nick - same
410 as /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <name>
411 + /SET activity_level, /SET hilight_level - specifies which message
412 levels should be treated as msg/hilight activity. (by tommik)
413 + DCC queries are now created automatically only if /SET
414 autocreate_query_level has DCCMSGS level
415 + If other side replies to our DCC CHAT request with DCC CHAT
416 request of their own (maybe we were inside firewall and other
417 side noticed it), connect to it immediately.
418 + Don't allow more than one identical DCC request, if more is
419 received just update the port of the previous request.
420 + Added KILL handling - user/server kills are now printed formatted.
421 + If server KILLs you, connect back (almost) immediately (don't wait
422 for the default 5 minutes)
423 + Nick completion now completes nicks from all channels in active
424 window, except when completing the first word in line only nicks
425 in active channel are completed.
426 + /SET show_nickmode_empty - when nick has no mode, should we
427 display " " or ""
428 + /SET part_message - default message with /PART
429 + Added -current, -window and -level options to /ECHO
430 + Ctrl-T = transpose_characters
431 + Perl scripting supports now printformat(), ie. user can change
432 the text format with /FORMAT just like any other formats.
433 + Proxy plugin now supports multiple servers, blocks CTCPs from
434 clients behind it and if one client sends message to channel,
435 other clients + proxy itself also receives the message.
436 - Netsplit/netjoin printing fixes. Sometimes netsplits were hidden
437 completely and some netjoins were forgotten and printed as normal
438 joins instead.
439 - Lag checking broke sometimes when nick was changed
440 - Don't close non-autolog logs when leaving channel / closing query.
441 - Time formats didn't work in directory name of autologs.
442 - Sometimes join to channel didn't ever get synced.
443 - IPv6 support didn't work correctly with all non-Linux OSes.
444 - Lots of minor fixes and changes to make your life easier.
445
446 v0.7.96 2000-10-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
447
448 * new configure option: --disable-curses-windows. Use this if curses
449 always redraws the window when scrolling. This is a weird problem,
450 I'd like to know why it happens. :)
451 * Log settings are incompatible with previous versions. You'll need
452 to setup them again. Or the targets are actually the only ones
453 that irssi won't read correctly.
454 * Lots of moving and cleaning and rewriting stuff from irc to core
455 so adding other IRC-like protocols (but not IRC) would be easier.
456 This was mostly done to make SILC plugin work.
457 * Perl was split to Irssi and Irssi::Irc packages. You'll currently
458 need to use both of them with perl scripts ("use Irssi;
459 use Irssi::Irc;). This might not be needed in future :)
460 * Changes:
461 - /SET default_nick -> /SET nick
462 - /FORMAT own_me -> /FORMAT own_action
463 - /FORMAT own_dcc_me -> /FORMAT own_dcc_action
464
465 + Small tutorial to new irssi users - docs/startup-HOWTO.txt
466 + Proxy plugin works again, thanks to fuchs for fixing it :)
467 + You can now connect multiple times to same server and
468 reconnections will work correctly with them.
469 + Support for half-ops (+h)
470 + Actions will now show up in window activity with hilight or
471 message-color, not the text-color as before.
472 + Added tab-completion for /BIND's commands.
473 + Perl support is now built as runtime loadable module by default.
474 You can still build it statically with --enable-perl=static
475 configure option.
476 + /SET completion_nicks_lowercase - when completing nicks always
477 write the nick with lowercase (uppercase letters are ugly ;)
478 + /BIND <key> /command works now directly instead of needing the
479 "command" id in the middle
480 + /connect + /server server/chatnet completion by tommik.
481 + Keyboard should never get stuck again when receiving huge amounts
482 of text from server that irssi doesn't handle fast enough.
483 - Hopefully fixed the problem when Irssi starts eating 100% CPU
484 - Fixes to make irssi work with other (older and newer) perl
485 versions than 5.005
486 - /MSG -servertag crashed irssi.
487 - /BAN could crash when showing bans
488 - log_day_change was never printed in logs
489 - /mode #channel -oooo... would deop the first 3, and then op the
490 rest.
491 - When pressing down key, the command line wasn't saved to history.
492 - Closing or moving window didn't update the window activity list.
493 - Autologging with same named channels in different networks works
494 now correctly.
495
496 v0.7.95 2000-08-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
497
498 * Changes:
499 - /LOG: Removed the -rotate option, it was pretty useless since
500 adding the % formats to file name already tells that the log
501 should be rotated.
502 - WJOIN -> /JOIN -window and WQUERY -> /QUERY -window. Added
503 WJOIN and WQUERY aliases for them in default config..
504 + /SAVEWINDOWS saves the current layout of windows. It's
505 automatically reloaded at startup.
506 + Theme fixes: /RELOAD reloads them, /SET theme changes the default
507 theme, you can have window specific themes with /WINDOW THEME.
508 + Irssi uses now real curses windows, irssi should work now better
509 with non-ncurseses.
510 + Autologging supports log rotating now too, just add the wanted %
511 formats to /SET autolog_path
512 + /MSG nick completion now gives the nicks in right time order when
513 using multiple irc networks.
514 + /SET beep_on_msg now works with all message levels, including
515 HILIGHT.
516 + You can change the default line indentation with /SET indent
517 + /channel add -bots: You can now use @ or + before the nick mask to
518 indicate that bot should have either ops or voices/ops.
519 + Perl scripting:
520 - Added namespaces, you don't have to worry about if someone
521 else also happens to be using event_privmsg function..
522 - You can unload scripts with /UNLOAD <name>.
523 - Running scripts that are already loaded, destroys the old
524 script from memory.
525 - Added Irssi::print_window() function to print text to current
526 window.
527 - Don't autoclose window after part/unquery if there was still some
528 channels/queries left in window.
529 - Autologging fixes: Don't log WHOIS replies by default
530 (autolog_level = all -crap). And with /msg nick1,nick2 don't log
531 to file nick1,nick2.log but nick1.log and nick2.log separately.
532 It also failed if you hadn't created the base path for the logs,
533 now irssi creates the whole directory path.
534
535 v0.7.94 2000-07-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
536
537 * Help files! Use /HELP <command> to see them.
538 They're just very first beta versions so don't expect too much.
539 They were written by Markus Vuori <mm@vuori.net> with some help
540 from EPIC's help files :)
541
542 * Changes:
543 - /SET completion_disable_auto -> completion_auto
544 - Changed the names of /BIND commands to be epic-compatible.
545 Also added several new commands.
546 - If --prefix is used, add the default perl library directory to
547 same prefix.
548 + Implemented /WINDOW LAST for changing to last current window.
549 + Added DCCMSGS message level. Actions match now either MSGS or
550 PUBLIC level as well as the ACTIONS level always.
551 + SET print_active_channel - if you have multiple channels in same
552 window, should we always print the channel for each message
553 (<nick:#channel>) or only when the channel isn't active.
554 + Don't print nick changes and quit messages from same nick more
555 than once in the same window (if you had joined multiple channels
556 in same window).
557 + /SET settings_autosave - If set ON, settings are automatically
558 saved when quitting and once per hour.
559 + Don't allow recursive aliases, ie. /alias echo echo hello does
560 print hello instead of going to infinite loop.
561 + Implemented /IGNORE -time <seconds>, patch by fuchs.
562 + /PERLFLUSH now cleans up the Perl interpreter properly (closes
563 all the files opened in perl scripts, etc)
564 - Awaylog didn't work right if you did /AWAY multiple times.
565 - /NOTIFY -idle sometimes printed the unidle-message even if the
566 nick really didn't stop idling. Fixed several other notify list
567 bugs.
568 - Tab-msgcompletion didn't work right after you had used
569 /msg -ircnet nick
570 - Fixed the long standing text buffer bug which could sometimes
571 crash irssi if you were unlucky.
572 - The channel key given in /JOIN should override the one given
573 in setup.
574 - /RELOAD caused several bugs
575
576 v0.7.93 2000-07-09 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
577
578 + Implemented /BIND [<key> [<action> [<data>]]] command.
579 <key> can be CTRL-x, ALT-X or ALT-SHIFT-X
580 The most useful action is "command", give the command in <data>.
581 You can see the rest of the actions with typing /BIND without
582 any parameters. Some actions might have more than one word,
583 to use them type the action in "quotation marks".
584 + When netsplit is over, irssi prints "Netsplit over, joins: (nicks)"
585 and hides all the real JOIN messages.
586 + /^COMMAND hides the output of the command, it's not written to
587 log either. Good for sending passwords for example.
588 + If you're pasting text to channel and some of it starts with /,
589 Irssi will send the "/command" to channel if it doesn't exist
590 (instead of just printing "unknown command").
591 + --enable-perl[=libdir] to configure - you can specify what
592 directory to install the perl libraries.
593 + Implemented runtime loadable modules. /LOAD loads a module,
594 /UNLOAD unloads it.
595 + You can change statusbar colors with /SET statusbar_xxx.
596 + Added -clear option to /SET.
597 + Tab-completion for /FORMAT.
598 + Ctrl-Y undeletes the last line deleted with Ctrl-U.
599 - Reconnecting to server had a few bugs
600 - /RELOADing configuration produced a few bugs
601 - Highlighting had several bugs
602 - Automatic command and option completions had some bugs
603 - -option tab-completion didn't work
604
605 v0.7.92 2000-06-30 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
606
607 * Some changes:
608 /REHASH -> /RELOAD
609 /SERVER -add, -remove, -list -> /SERVER ADD, REMOVE, LIST
610 /SET window_close_on_part -> /SET autoclose_windows
611 /HILIGHT -nick -> /HILIGHT -mask (see below)
612 + Automatic completion of /commands. Automatic completion of
613 command -options. Complains about unknown -options.
614 + /MSG [-<server tag>] <nick> <msg> - you can specify what server
615 to send the message to.
616 + Rewrote tab-completion to be modular, it's REALLY easy to add
617 completion to whatever you want. It now handles:
618 - Command completion works better, subcommand completion works
619 - Command -option completion
620 - /MSG completion completes from all IRC servers, so if you had
621 message from ircnet and efnet, irssi will complete with
622 /MSG -ircnet nick1 -> /MSG -efnet nick2
623 - #channel completion works - it completes only channels you
624 have joined or have in setup
625 - File name completion with /DCC SEND (and other commands)
626 - /TOGGLE settings completion
627 - Completion for command parameters or subcommands work right
628 even if the command was typed as alias.
629 + /HILIGHT updates:
630 - -nick highlights only the nick, not the whole line. Works
631 only with public messages.
632 - -mask option matches the text for nick mask (it didn't even
633 work before).
634 - Window numbers in activity list are colored with hilight
635 color.
636 - You can give real color names with -color option. All the
637 "normal" colors can be given, if you want bold colors, use
638 b+color name, like bgreen.
639 - /SET hilight_color specifies the default highlight color
640 - /SET hilight_only_nick specifies if we should highlight the
641 nick or the whole line if -nick or -nonick wasn't specified
642 with /HILIGHT.
643 + /LAST -away checks only lines that came after last time you
644 went away.
645 + You can specify command(s) to be sent automatically to server
646 after connected with /IRCNET -autosendcmd. Useful for sending
647 your password to NickServ.
648 + Added /SET reuse_unused_windows setting, default is OFF. Works
649 only when /SET autoclose_windows is ON. This specifies if new
650 windows should be joined to new window, or if existing empty
651 windows should be used.
652 + /SET lag_min_show -1 disables displaying lag entirely.
653 - /SCROLLBACK HOME, END and GOTO commands weren't working right.
654 - Closing active window that had channels/queries could crash
655 - Using \n with /SET expand_escapes ON didn't work right.
656 - Logging HILIGHT messages didn't work
657 - The "max. count" parameter in /LAST didn't work right.
658
659 v0.7.91 2000-06-14 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
660
661 + Ctrl-X changes IRC server in stats/msgs/empty windows.
662 + /JOIN -<server tag> #channel joins to channel in specified server.
663 + /WHOIS automatically sends a /WHOWAS query if nick wasn't in IRC.
664 + if some unknown /command had another / in it, like /usr/bin,
665 send it as normal message. good for copypasting paths :)
666 + If you're not allowed to connect to server (K-lined, no I-line),
667 Irssi won't try to reconnect back to the server.
668 + You can disable window activity notifies in specified channels
669 with /SET noact_channels #chan1 #chan2 .. The activity is
670 displayed if window had a message to you.
671 + Tab-completion works now with /commands and /set variables
672 + /SET close_window_on_part - should we close the window too when
673 /PARTing channel
674 + /SET autocreate_own_query ON - creates query window when you
675 send message with /MSG nick.
676 + /SET mail_counter specifies if we should show mail counter in
677 statusbar.
678 + /SET wall_format specifies the text that's sent with /WALL
679 + If you /SET expand_escapes ON and type \n or \t to text line, they
680 will be expanded to newline and tab.
681 + Ctrl-W deletes word in left
682 - Flood was detected wrong - /SET flood_timecheck's argument was
683 supposed to be seconds, not milliseconds.
684 - Unignoring autoignored nicks didn't work
685 - Logging wrote messages to log file twice
686 - /WINDOW MOVE <number> could put irssi to infinite loop
687 - ANSI blink code crashed irssi.
688 - Replying to DCC GET and CHAT requests didn't work
689 - /HILIGHT displayed levels twice, /HILIGHT -channels didn't work
690 - /SET ignore_signals wasn't read at startup..
691
692 v0.7.90 2000-06-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
693
694 * On the way to 0.8.0 .. Major rewriting/rearranging code. There's
695 some changes in behaviour because I'm trying to make Irssi
696 compatible with EPIC as much as possible (except the scripting,
697 perl should be enough?)
698
699 * DOCUMENTATION! See docs/manual.txt
700
701 This NEWS file contains only the biggest new features, you should
702 browse through the documentation to find the rest. Some of the
703 parameters of commands listed in this file aren't really up to
704 date since I got a bit bored writing them here too.. They are
705 correct in the manual.
706
707 * Irssi isn't anymore IRC specific client, you could easily take the
708 whole IRC part away and use some other chat protocol instead, or
709 use both at the same time. Currently however, only IRC protocol
710 is supported. See docs/design.txt for more information.
711
712 * libPropList isn't needed anymore - I'm using my own configuration
713 library. This is mostly because different proplists worked a bit
714 differently everywhere and several people had problems with it.
715 It's also yet another extra library that you needed to compile
716 Irssi. New configuration library has several advantages:
717
718 You can add comments to configuration file and they also stay
719 there when it's saved.
720
721 It's not nearly as vulnerable as proplist. If some error occurs,
722 instead of just not reading anything it will try to continue if
723 possible. Also the error messages are written to irssi's text
724 window instead of stdout.
725
726 It can be managed more easily than proplist - setting/getting the
727 configuration is a lot more easier.
728
729 * Coding style changes - I'm not using gint, gchar etc. anymore,
730 they're just extra pain when moving code to non-glib projects and
731 syntax hilighting doesn't work by default with most editors ;)
732
733 Indentation style was also changed to K&R because of some political
734 reasons ;) And I'm already starting to like it.. :) It forces me
735 to split code to different functions more often and the result is
736 that the code gets more readable.
737
738 And finally I'm also using `const' all over the place.
739
740 * Signal handlers changed - you don't anymore return value 0 if you
741 wish to stop signal. Instead use signal_stop() or
742 signal_stop_by_name().
743
744 + Flood protection when sending commands to server works now better.
745 It allows sending first 5 messages immediately, but after that
746 only one message is sent every 2.2 seconds.
747
748 This is the same flood protection that most IRC servers use, so
749 the only affect this protection has is that when sending a lot of
750 commands to server you won't get kicked out from server because of
751 "excessive flood".
752
753 This can be changed from settings `cmd_max_at_once' and
754 `cmd_queue_speed'. If you want to disable this for some reason, use
755 /SET cmd_queue_speed 0
756 + Split windows in text version, all the normal ircII /WINDOW
757 commands should work: new, kill, grow, shrink, balance, show, hide
758 + /EVAL <commands> - Expand all the special variables from string and
759 run it. Commands can be split with ; character. See
760 docs/special_vars.txt for more info.
761 + Aliases are parsed just like /EVAL - arguments are in $0..$9.
762 + Text formats are also parsed like /EVAL, arguments used to be in
763 $1..$9, now they're in $0..$8 so it messes up existing themes..
764 + /SET [key [value]] - no more the '=' character. Boolean values
765 also need to be changed with ON/OFF/TOGGLE values (not yes/no).
766 + /SAVE [<filename>] - saves the settings to file.
767 /REHASH [<filename>] - re-read the configuration file on the fly
768 + /TOGGLE <key> [ON/OFF] - same as /SET <key> TOGGLE
769 + /ALIAS [-]<alias> [<command>], /UNALIAS <alias>
770 Show, add or remove aliases. /ALIAS -alias = /UNALIAS alias
771 + /NOTIFY [-list] [-away] [-idle [minutes]] <mask> [ircnet [ircnet...]]
772 -away notifies about away-status changes
773 -idle notifies if idle time is first larger than `minutes'
774 (default is hour) and then it drops down.
775 -list lists the notify list entries with all their settings
776 /UNNOTIFY <mask>
777
778 /NOTIFY without any arguments displays if the people in notify
779 list are online or offline.
780 + /HILIGHT [-nick | -regexp | -word] [-color <color>]
781 [-level <level>] [-channels <channels>] <text>
782 -nick: match only for nick
783 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
784 -word: `text' must match to full words
785 -color: print the reply with `color' - color can be a bold (^B),
786 underline (^_) etc. too
787 -level: match only for `level' messages, default is
788 publics,msgs,notices,actions
789 -channels: match only in `channels'
790 /DEHILIGHT <ref#> | <text>
791 + /LASTLOG [-] [-new] [-regexp | -word] [-<level> [...]]
792 [<pattern>] [<count> [<start>]]
793 -: don't print the "Lastlog:" and "End of Lastlog" messages.
794 -new: show only lines since last /LASTLOG
795 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
796 -word: `text' must match to full words
797 -level: what levels to check, like -public -msgs (default is all)
798 <pattern>: text to search for, or all if empty
799 <count>: maximum number of lines to show
800 <start>: skip the last `start' lines
801 + /IGNORE [-regexp | -word] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except]
802 [-channels <channel>] <mask> <levels> <^levels>
803 -regexp: `pattern' is a regular expression
804 -word: `pattern' must match to full words
805 -pattern: <pattern> must match to the message's text
806 -except: *DON'T* ignore
807 -channels: ignore only in channels
808 <mask>: either a nick mask or list of channels
809 <levels>: list of levels to ignore
810 <^levels>: list of levels to NOT ignore
811 (/ignore -except nick notices = /ignore nick ^notices)
812 /UNIGNORE <ref#> | <mask>
813
814 The best match always wins, so you can have:
815 /IGNORE * CTCPS
816 /IGNORE -except *!*@host.org CTCPS
817 + /LOG OPEN [-noopen] [-autoopen] [-targets <targets>] [-window]
818 [-rotate hour|day|month] <filename> [<levels>]
819 -noopen: create the entry to log list, but don't start logging
820 -autoopen: automatically open this log file at startup
821 -targets: log only in specified channels/nicks
822 -window: Log this window
823 -rotate: Reopen the log file every hour, day or month. This
824 makes only sense if you specify date/time formats
825 to file name.
826 <filename>: File name where to log, it is parsed with strftime(),
827 so %d=day, etc. see "man strftime" for more info.
828 <levels>: Defaults to ALL
829 /LOG CLOSE <ref#> | <fname> - close log and remove from log list
830 /LOG START <ref#> | <fname> - start logging to file
831 /LOG STOP <ref#> | <fname> - stop logging to file
832 /LOG - display the log list
833 NOTE: Log files are locked after opened, so two irssi's can't
834 accidentally try to write to same log file.
835 + /WINDOW LOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE [<filename>]
836 Start/stop logging window, same as /LOG OPEN -window. If file name
837 isn't given, it defaults to ~/irc.log.<windowname> or
838 ~/irc.log.Window<ref#> if window doesn't have name.
839 /WINDOW LOGFILE <filename>
840 Creates the entry to log list, same as /LOG OPEN -window -noopen.
841 Also, if /WINDOW LOG ON is used it starts logging to this file.
842 + /SET AUTOLOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE
843 /SET AUTOLOG_LEVEL <level>
844 /SET AUTOLOG_PATH <path> - expandos can be used, $0 is the target.
845 Enables automatic logging, files are automatically created as
846 needed and after some time of inactivity, they are closed. If you
847 are using multiple servers, it makes sense to use the server tag
848 as part of the file name, for example ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log (this
849 is the default).
850 + /SET window_auto_change - if enabled, irssi will automatically
851 change to automatically created windows (like queries). It will
852 also clear your command line and put it to command history so that
853 you don't accidentally write anything to wrong window. You'll get
854 the command back by pressing up arrow.
855 + /SET show_quit_once - show quit message only once instead of in
856 all channel windows the nick was joined.
857 + Server reconnections work better. It will now automatically set
858 your previous user mode and away message (and rejoin the channels,
859 which it already did before) after reconnected. If you use /SERVER
860 to connect to different IRC network, none of this will be done.
861 + /CAT <filename> - prints the file to screen
862 + /SET query_auto_close <secs> - automatically close queries after
863 <secs> seconds. It won't close queries that have unread messages,
864 and it won't close queries in the active window.
865
866 v0.7.28 2000-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
867
868 + irssi-text: New improved "text widget". It takes less memory and
869 if you resize the terminal horizonally, the text automatically
870 changes to right size. Several other changes too:
871
872 /CLEAR only clears the screen, you can still scroll the window up.
873 /SCROLLBACK, or the default alias /SB:
874 /SB CLEAR - Clear screen, free all memory used by texts in window.
875 /SB HOME - Jump to start of the buffer
876 /SB END - Jump to end of the buffer
877 /SB GOTO [[-|+]line#|time] - Jump to specified line or timestamp.
878
879 -100 jumps back 100 lines, +100 jumps forward 100 lines, or
880 100 simply jumps to 100. line in scrollback.
881
882 Time is the format [dd.mm | -<days ago>] hh:mi[:ss]
883
884 Examples:
885 /SB GOTO 15:00 - Jump to first text that came after 15:00 today
886 /SB GOTO -1 15:00 - First text after 15:00 yesterday
887 /SB GOTO 1.2 - First text in 1. February
888 /SB GOTO -100 - Jump back 100 lines
889 /SB GOTO +100 - Jump for
890
891 + After lost connection to server and reconnected or changed the
892 server manually with /SERVER, Irssi will rejoin back to the same
893 channels that you were in before disconnection. They will also be
894 placed to same windows they were, even if you were in same channel
895 in multiple servers.
896 + /SERVERS and disconnect dialog displays also servers that are
897 being currently connected and waiting reconnections. You can remove
898 them with /DISCONNECT <tag>.
899 + If you are in multiple irc servers and the active server of the
900 window isn't the same as where the message came from, the message
901 is prefixed with a [server tag].
902 + If you don't specify the path for Perl scripts, Irssi tries to
903 find them from ~/.irssi/scripts/ or /usr/lib/irssi/scripts/
904 directories. Irssi will also run automatically scripts in
905 ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ at startup. Several other updates to
906 Perl support too.
907 + Support for ircII translation tables, /set translation <file>
908 See /usr/share/ircII/translation/* (at least in Debian)
909 + /ACTION <target> <text> - Send action to target (like /ME), target
910 is either #channel, nick or =dcc_char_nick
911 + 5 CTRL-C's in a row quits irssi-text.
912 + %| in themes marks the line indentation position - works only in
913 irssi-text for now..
914 + You can have several msgs/status windows, one for each server.
915 + Option: start GNOME panel applet at startup
916 + --without-gtk option for configure disables building GTK frontend
917 + /LAST -new shows only the texts that came after latest /LAST.
918 - Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
919 window (try #2 :)
920 - Several (Perl) compilation problems fixed.
921 - Text hilight color was dark grey, changed to white..
922 - /LAST doesn't display the texts found from previous /LAST blocks
923 - Fixed a few memory leaks
924
925 v0.7.27 2000-02-25 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
926
927 * Perl support - finally! Took only a year or so to imlement it ;)
928 Well, I could have done it ages ago but it wouldn't have had
929 all the flexibility it now has - you should be able to do almost
930 anything with perl scripts. See DOCS/PERL for some documentation
931 and examples/ directory for a couple of example scripts.
932
933 This is the very first version and I haven't even tested that all
934 functions work correctly! Any suggestions are welcome. I don't
935 really like the values() functions so if someone knows better ways
936 to do them I'd really like to hear.
937
938 BTW. I haven't had time to learn Perl well yet, so my scripts are
939 probably not the best examples.. :)
940
941 If for some reason you don't wish to use Perl, you can disble it
942 with giving --disable-perl to configure.
943
944 + /CYCLE [#channel] - parts/rejoins the channel
945 + Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
946 window.
947 + Server tag generation is a bit smarter now.
948 + irssi-text: Resizing terminal works now right even if your curses
949 don't have resizeterm() function.
950 - /NAMES crashed when done in a non-channel window
951 - irssi-text: Resizing terminal when irssi had some empty windows
952 messed them up..
953 - toggle_show_nickmode didn't actually do anything :) It was
954 always on..
955
956 v0.7.26 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
957
958 - Space (and maybe other keys) didn't work when caps/numlock was on.
959
960 v0.7.25 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
961
962 + /WQUERY - create query to current window
963 + Irssi doesn't close the window anymore when using /PART
964 + irssi-text also displays user's address in topic bar in queries.
965 + /NAMES list is now displayed sorted
966 + irssi-text: /WINDOW MOVE PREV|NEXT
967 - Topic bar sometimes displayed some other channel's topic if the
968 channel didn't have a topic.
969 - Irssi automatically changed to auto-created query windows..
970 - When using /WINDOW CLOSE it didn't change to different window
971 - Made fontset_load() optional - it broke some fonts..
972 - Using Ctrl-B (bold) didn't move the cursor
973
974 v0.7.24 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> [stable]
975
976 + French translation
977 + Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation translation, now with
978 the right pot file name :)
979 + Using fontset_load() instead of font_load(), helps with using
980 some fonts (by hashao@telebot.com)
981 + /TS - display topics of all channels you're joined
982 + Automatically change to the created window
983 + Option: Show op/voice status in channel messages before nick.
984 + irssi-text: Displays topic bar op the top of the screen -
985 /set toggle_show_topicbar = yes|no
986 + Recognize +a (anonymous) and +r (reop when opless) modes
987 + Don't allow any setup file changes or log writing if another irssi
988 session is running.
989 + /whois without any arguments gives a whois of yourself
990 - Irc network list was still corrupted in channel dialog.
991 - /LIST dialog - users column is now sorted numerically
992 (10 shows after 9, not after 1)..
993 - Log setup dialog: Clear all button was over Client errors
994 toggle button.
995 - /LAST's output displayed some crap in log file.
996 - irssi-text should work better with other curses libraries than
997 ncurses
998 - irssi-text should work better with non-black backgounds
999 - Fixed tab completion when completion char was comma
1000 - Couple of configure bugs fixed
1001 - Specifying source host (vhosts) didn't work.
1002 - DCC resume had been broken quite a while
1003
1004 v0.7.23 2000-01-23 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1005
1006 + channel's key (+k key) is displayed in irssi-text's statusbar if it
1007 has one.
1008 + Nick hilight detector is a bit smarter now, for example if your
1009 nick happens to be "its", "it's blahblah" doesn't trigger it..
1010 + colorless irssi-text (/set colors = no): activity list is split in
1011 two, Act and Det lists. Det displays list of windows where there's
1012 new messages for you.
1013 - /LAST without any parameters crashed
1014 - if queried nick was changed, GUI didn't notice it.
1015 - config file was invalid in .22
1016 - irssi text widget didn't work in .22
1017 - dcc transfers always displayed 0.00kB/s in .22

1019 v0.7.22 2000-01-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1020
1021 + configure displays a summary of things to compile
1022 + /set colors = yes|no, sets colors on/off in irssi-text
1023 + /window goto active now finds first the window with the higest
1024 activity (msgs to you -> msgs -> rest). Alt-A is also default key
1025 shortcut for this
1026 + When connection is lost to server, irssi will remember the channels
1027 in windows. After reconnected, (auto)joining to same channels will
1028 join the channels to the old windows.
1029 + Improved hilighting: You can specify what color to hilight the text
1030 with, to channel field type the (mirc) color number, like
1031 "4 #blah" hilights the text with red in channel #blah, both color
1032 and channel(s) are optional. You can also hilight nicks' colors, to
1033 text field type "NICK:nick!mask", like NICK:nick, or
1034 NICK:*!*@*.blah.fi hilights people from blah.fi domain
1035 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1036 - Some kB/s messages displayed wrong values when resuming DCC
1037 transfers. Also, kB/s is now displayed with two decimals
1038 - "Day changed to 00-10-2000" .. month was wrong. No Y2K bugs
1039 however ;)
1040 - List of ircnets was displyed wrong in server dialog.
1041 - Userhost replies didn't handle ircops right..
1042 - Doesn't quit when receives SIGHUP - some window managers send it
1043 when restarting itself (Afterstep)
1044 - Specifying "source host IP" didn't work (vhosts).
1045 - Using ctrl-b etc. didn't move the cursor forward..
1046 - Don't try to compile GTK parts of plugins if we don't even want
1047 build GTK irssi
1048 - Doesn't crash when trying to create DCC dialog after being
1049 disconnected from IRC server
1050 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1051 - Some transparency fixes, it's a lot faster now when moving the
1052 window, but it's still too slow when creating it, not sure why..
1053
1054 v0.7.21 1999-12-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1055
1056 + Irssi-text: Channel activities are displayed with different colors
1057 in statusbar
1058 + Keeps track of "wanted nick", ie. the nick you specified in the
1059 setup or to /server or /nick. When reconnecting to server it always
1060 tries the wanted nick before falling back to alternate nicks.
1061 + IRC Network specific settings: nick, username, realname,
1062 max. kicks/modes/msgs per command.
1063 + Transparency works
1064 + Automatic logging when you're away. Set it on/off from settings/misc
1065 + /connect and /server changes the server in the current window if
1066 the window isn't channel or query.
1067 + Wallop actions are displayed right
1068 + Ctrl-N/P keys change to previous/next window
1069 + Polish translation updated
1070 + /channel next, /channel prev - changes to next/previous channel in
1071 the current window. Ctrl-X is by default bound to /channel next.
1072 - /WHO could crash irssi
1073 - /join !!channel crashed
1074
1075 v0.7.20.1 1999-11-28 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1076
1077 * I just started #irssi in irc.openprojects.net too.. It's still in
1078 IRCNet too, don't know yet if I'll keep both or drop the other one..
1079
1080 + You can use %n as current nick with aliases
1081 - Closing a window with split windows open crashed
1082 - Channel widgets weren't being updated when joined to channel in

1089
1090 + Polish and finnish translations started
1091
1092 + SQL plugin which doesn't do much, currently supports MySQL only.
1093 Meant to be used by other plugins.
1094
1095 + Botnet to bot plugin - it should already be possible to create a
1096 big bot network with this (each bot having multiple clients +
1097 uplink). The functionality is limited only to BCAST message for
1098 now which sends a message to all bots. Read docs/botnet.txt for my
1099 plans for it :)
1100
1101 - If plugins failed in initialization (plugin_init()), irssi could
1102 crash.
1103 - Server settings (nick, realname, etc.) were saved to different
1104 place in configuration file than where they were read from..
1105 So, saving them didn't really work.
1106 - Plugin autoloading didn't work
1107 - When trying to show channel's window from panel and you weren't
1108 using helvetica font (itext's internal default), irssi crashed..
1109 - Irssi crashed if you didn't have menubar enabled and didn't
1110 compile with gnome.
1111 - When invalid theme was found from global directory, irssi
1112 complained about it every time. Now the fixed theme is saved to
1113 ~/.irssi/ directory and used thereafter.
1114 - Deleting ircnets didn't work right
1115
1116 v0.7.19 1999-11-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1117
1118 * Text formats changed - they should be compatible with epic/bx now.

1120
1121 + Internationalization support - finally. No languages yet though..
1122
1123 + /window new split creates a new splitted window

1125 is actually almost same as completions, except they are activated
1126 with different keys..
1127 + Nicklist popup menu is configurable
1128 + ~/.irssi/startup - add all commands here you want to run at startup
1129 + Much more levels for ignoring/logging/etc. See docs/COMMANDS for a
1130 list
1131 + Ignoring joins, parts, etc. work, ignoring channels work
1132 + Automatically loading plugins at startup works in irssi-text and
1133 irssibot too
1134 + Autoaccept dcc get/chat from given nick/address
1135 + /help
1136 + Server/Links dialog, displays list of servers in tree view.
1137 Doubleclicking a hub asks the servers behind the hub (doesn't seem
1138 to work in efnet)
1139 + /server +irc.server.net does the same as /connect irc.server.net
1140 + Nicklist is resizeable
1141 + Buttons for closing and moving window left/right
1142 + Query windows display nick's address in topic widget and the
1143 address isn't displayed in every msg in query windows.
1144 + It's possible to add bold/colors/etc to default quit message
1145 + MIRC colors are finally displayed with right colors
1146 + You can run multiple command in alias, separate them with &&.
1147 You can create a & character with \&
1148 + Hilighting changes: Your own /msgs won't trigger channel activity,
1149 received private messages get the "new text" color
1150 + /MODE accepts multiple modes at once and they're split automatically
1151 to 3 modes/command, like /MODE #chan +oooooo nick1,nick2,.. is
1152 split to two commands which are sent to server.
1153 + /KICK, /MSG, /NOTICE, /CTCP and /NCTCP are also automatically split
1154 into multiple real commands. /KICK can kick max. 4 nicks per
1155 command, privmsg/notice can send max. 3 nicks per command.
1156 + Option: Show timestamps in msgs.
1157 - Joining to channel from channels dialog that had password set

1170 - --help works now without gnome (gtk/text versions)
1171 - Sending data to irc server/dcc chats/proxy's clients/etc. won't
1172 block forever anymore - I once got it to happen with proxy..
1173 - Some fixes for channel limit/key widgets above nicklist
1174 - Speech plugin works now right with timestamps enabled
1175 - irssibot (gui-none) doesn't crash at startup anymore and it doesn't
1176 link with ui-common anymore. Also added a --load / -l command line
1177 option to specify what plugin to load at startup. Default = bot
1178
1179 v0.7.18 1999-10-18 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
