1 v0.8.16-rc1 2013-06-26 The Irssi team <staff@irssi.org>
2 + Add -noautosendcmd to /SERVER and /CONNECT. Passing this option will
3 force Irssi to not execute the content of the autosendcmd chatnet-setting
5 + Accept names replies with nick!user@host instead of just nick, if they
6 are enabled (see bug #805).
7 + Set window binds for channel items as sticky when re-creating window
8 binds as part of /layout save. This fixes the bug where previously saved
9 channel windows forgets their window number upon reconnect.
10 + Add experimental support for DNSSEC DANE validation of certificates.
11 + Strip the argument for boolean options (see bug #769).
12 + Freenode have been readded to the list of networks in the default
14 + Disabled support for the insecure SSLv2 protocol.
15 + Various documentation enhancements.
16 - Fix crashing bug that can happen if the terminal height decreases before
17 the first window is created.
18 - Fixed minor compiler warnings.
19 - Fixed possible crashing bug when processing an octal escape sequence.
20 - Fixed the /ignore -network option (see bug #748).
21 - Fixed signal handling for /exec'd commands. Irssi now sends the signal to
22 the process group id instead of the process id.
23 - Fixed segfault generated by SSL disconnections (see bug #752).
25 v0.8.15 2010-04-03 The Irssi team <staff@irssi.org>
26 + Add active_window_ignore_refnum option
27 With active_window_ignore_refnum ON, the current behavior for the
28 active_window key (meta-a by default) is preserved: it switches to the
29 window with the highest activity level that was last activated.
30 With active_window_ignore_refnum OFF, the old behavior is used:
31 it switches to the window with the highest activity level with the
32 lowest refnum. (by Matt Sparks, bug #667)
33 + Show new Charybdis +q list in channel windows (numerics 728 and 729).
34 + Allow servers to belong to multiple networks.
35 + Improve paste detection. Irssi now detects a paste if it reads at
36 least three bytes in a single read; subsequent reads are associated to
37 the same paste if they happen before 'paste_detect_time' time since
38 the last read. If no read occurs after 'paste_detect_time' time the
39 paste buffer is flushed; if there is at least one complete line its
40 content is sent as a paste, otherwise it is processed normally.
41 + Show "target changing too fast" messages in the channel/query window.
42 + Use default trusted CAs if nothing is specified. This allows useful
43 use of -ssl_verify without -ssl_cafile/-ssl_capath, using OpenSSL's
45 + Show why an SSL certificate failed validation.
46 + Make own nick and actions use default colour instead of white
48 - Change some characters illegal in Windows filenames to underscores in
50 - Fix disconnects when sending large amounts of data over SSL
51 - Show all nicks instead of just the first in an /accept * listing
53 - Make several signals without parameters available to perl again.
54 In particular, this includes the "beep" signal
55 (by Matt Sparks, bug #674)
56 - Close the config file fd after saving (by Sven Wegener)
57 - Check if an SSL certificate matches the hostname of the server we are
59 - Fix bash'isms, use command -v instead of which and use bc -l in /CALC.
60 - Fix a crash with handling the DCC queue.
61 - Fix crash when checking for fuzzy nick match when not on the channel.
62 Reported by Aurelien Delaitre (SATE 2009).
64 v0.8.14 2009-07-28 The Irssi team <staff@irssi.org>
65 + Make /reset an alias for /set -default.
66 + Make /unset an alias for /set -clear.
67 + Allow ctrl+home / ctrl+end to go to the beginning / end of scrollback.
68 + Accept WHOX reply (354 numeric) as a /who reply.
69 + Show numerics directed at channels in the channel window.
70 + The time duration parser is more strict now.
71 - Fix out of bounds access in event_wallops().
73 - Fix the autolog_ignore_targets logic to work correctly with manually
74 opened log files (see bug #673).
76 v0.8.13 2009-04-01 The Irssi team <staff@irssi.org>
77 + Reject some obviously invalid values in /set.
78 + Add perl bindings for Window::get_history_lines
79 + Use an io channel to write the config file.
80 + Use memory slices instead of memory chunks for text buffer.
81 + Remove methods to create/destroy TextBuffer and TextBufferView and low level
82 api to add/remove lines, scripts should be fine using Window::print_after and
83 TextBufferView::remove_line.
84 + Add print_after method to Window perl object analogous to
85 gui_printtext_after but which also expands formats and forces a full line.
86 + Better mapping of signal parameters to Perl. All signals used in scripts
87 now need to be registered with Irssi::signal_register.
88 + Add public header with interfaces to manage statusbar items (bug #535)
89 + Recode: assume utf-8 encoding for an ascii string in which no escape
90 character occurs (bug #392).
91 + Allow /BAN, /UNBAN, /KICKBAN, /KNOCKOUT if channel is not synced.
92 Requesting ban lists from an unsynced channel will ask
93 them from the server, banning a user whose u@h irssi
94 does not know will ban nick!*@* and only bans irssi
95 knows about can be removed.
96 + Allow storing multiple "other" prefixes such as +q and +a (original patch
98 + Add /set autolog_ignore_targets for cherry-picking targets that shouldn't
100 + Add support for 16 colors. Formats KBGCRMYW and mirc colors are now
101 mapped to colors 8-15. fe-text translates colors 8-15 to bold/blink+0-7
102 if the terminal supports only 8 colors. If your theme uses one of
103 the high color formats and you really want bold you can change
104 %FMT<string> to %fmt%_<string>%_, it will work fine in all irssi versions.
105 + Better 005 PREFIX support (bug #580).
106 + Display 407 numerics other than "duplicate channel".
107 + Fix display of ratbox-style operspy whois.
108 + Recode outgoing irc away messages (bug #412).
109 + Recode outgoing irc quit messages.
110 + Remove scrollback_levelclear_levels setting and add a 'level' option
111 to 'sb levelclear' to specify a comma separated list of levels.
112 + Add perl __WARN__ handler for scripts (bug #427).
113 + Add Irssi::command_parse_options function to parse options for a command.
114 + Revert recode changes introduced in 0.8.12.
115 + Add completion for /WINDOW SERVER.
116 + Support for reading kicks/msgs from TARGMAX/MAXTARGETS 005 tokens.
117 + Enhancements to the redirections code.
118 + Support for RPL_WHOISACTUALLY (338 numeric) for both ratbox and ircu
120 + -idle option of /notify is gone.
121 + /layout save now makes window-channel bindings instantly effective
123 + /ping without arguments does not send anymore a ctcp ping to a channel
125 + Track IRC operator status of nicks a bit better.
126 + new 'actlist_names' option to add active items names in 'act'
128 + new 'word_completion_backward' command to scroll backwards in the
130 + add 'list' option to /bind to print all the available commands.
131 + show setter/time in +I lists
132 + apply -usermode before -autosendcmd (bug #548).
133 + reduce memory usage of the scrollback buffer and make the display
134 in /sb status more accurate (higher).
135 + fix data getting dropped when a lot is sent at a time (e.g. when
136 attaching to irssi-proxy, bug #528).
137 + introduce the type Irssi::Irc::Client and signals to communicate with
138 proxy clients to allow for scripting parts of the irssi-proxy.
139 + Add sb_search.pl, a script for /SCROLLBACK SEARCH
140 - Fix /NOTIFY list when nick is seen joining (bug #642).
141 - Include hostmask in 001 event sent by proxy (bug #650).
142 - Be more power-friendly: don't run any always-on <1s timers (bug #641).
143 - Don't get confused by a failed /JOIN -window (bug #644).
144 - Properly initialize embedded Perl (PERL_SYS_INIT3).
145 - Replace invalid utf-8 bytes with U+FFFD when drawing a line.
146 - Properly unload the original script when using /script load to reload it.
147 (bug #525, patch by Lukas Mai)
148 - Clean up script loading in general:
149 * Don't leak local variables to eval'd code.
150 * Set filename/line number to get better error messages from perl.
151 * Use three-arg open and lexical filehandles to avoid surprises.
152 * Include error reason in message for unopenable scripts.
153 * Don't wrap script code in sub handler { } - this avoids spurious warnings and
154 should at least allow __END__ to work properly.
156 - Fix NETSPLIT_SERVER_REC in signals for Perl.
157 - Remove buggy /SCROLLBACK redraw and /SET scrollback_save_formats.
158 - Always preserve the active mainwindow when resizing.
159 - Ignore DNS not found errors when considering reconnect.
160 - Do not strip the comma in a mirc color if it is not followed by a digit (bug #250).
161 - Fix building perl module with perl-5.10 (bug #630).
162 - fix leak with $L expando.
163 - fix possible crash with /script reset.
164 - ignore exceptions take precedence over ignores in all cases.
165 - honour -channels preference for ignore -replies (bug #227).
166 - Fix mode display in whois with unreal (379 numeric) (bug #479).
167 - Fix regressions that prevented external modules from building/working
169 - Fix /set hilight_level not taking effect immediately (bug #598).
170 - Fix bold, blinking and indentation in /LASTLOG and buf.pl.

177 + Add $tag to 'window' item in default configuration.
178 + Pick up host changes on charybdis and ircu servers (396 numeric).
179 + Show various errors such as "cannot send to channel" and "cannot
180 /msg, user is +g" in the channel or query window, if possible,
181 and always include the user or channel name.
182 + Channel forwarding in hyperion and charybdis is now recognized
183 (470 numeric) and the target channel is joined in the window where
184 the original channel would have been joined.
185 + Add support for the ACCEPT command, which is part of the CALLERID
186 server side ignore system in hybrid7 and derived ircds.
187 + Make /WINDOW GOTO start searching at the window after the active
188 one and stop at the one before (bug #332).
189 + Improve completion for /SET.
190 + Use CASEMAPPING dependent comparison to match channel names.
191 Patch by Jon Mayo (bug #436).
192 + Various improvements to the help files.
193 + Add Perl bindings for some gui_entry methods
194 + Make alt/meta+arrow keys work in recent versions of xterm (bug #496)
195 - Fix DCC get when file size is 0 (bug #494).
196 - Ignore empty lines when pasting.

201 - Update chanop flag before emitting nick mode changed signal (patch
203 - Fix recognition of realnames starting with spaces in /WHO.
204 - Show "Target left IRC" error messages fully (instead of reporting
206 - Repair channels_rejoin_unavailable. Enabled by default, this retries
207 joins that failed because of netsplits (channel temporarily
208 unavailable (437), duplicate channel). A few servers abuse 437 for
209 juped channels which should not be retried, you should disable
210 channels_rejoin_unavailable if this is a problem.
211 - Display 437 and 407 numerics if channels_rejoin_unavailable
212 is not enabled (bug #495).

227 + New crapbuster-like "scrollback levelclear" command
228 + irssi now aborts a connection when, on an attempt to connect, the server
229 returns code 432 (Erroneous Nickname), bug #425
230 + Allow identifiers in config file to start with a digit, bug #177.
231 + Modify Irssi::UI::Window::command to restore the original active window
232 only if the command executed has not made another one active, bug #403.
233 + Make awaylog_file respect --home, bug #304
234 + Send /QUOTE immediately if server didn't send the 001 event yet
235 + If dcc_own_ip contains IPv4 address, listen only in IPv4
236 + Negative scroll_page_count scrolls screensize-n lines
237 (Patch by Chris Moore)
238 + Sort nicks with custom prefix by the order defined in isupport in /NAMES
239 + New perl command send_raw_first, patch by ComradeP (Bug 413)

242 queries anyways (Patch by jilles)
243 + Renamed irc.efnet.net to irc.efnet.org
244 + /SCROLLBACK CLEAR accepts the same arguments as /CLEAR
245 + Check if binary exists and can be executed before /UPGRADE
246 + Change default value of override_coredump_limit to OFF
247 + UPTIME command by Lauri Nurmi with some modifications (Bug 458)
248 + Remove CR and LF from Perl commands, to make it harder to introduce a
250 + Remove bookmark on a line when line is removed (instead of moving it)
251 + Don't fallback to generic word completer if the command specific
252 completion list is not empty.
253 + Recognize cursor left and cursor right sequences sent by recent xterm
254 - Fix some UTF-8 issues, bugs #452 (Patch by Yi-Hsuan Hsin), #459, #460
255 - Fixed segfault on quit introduced in 0.8.10
256 - Fixed a bug where tab-completion didn't work with utf8/big5 properly
257 - Ignore joins without a nick from broken servers
258 - Fix whois_hide_safe_channel_id: only look at the beginning of a channel
259 name, not in the middle
260 - Don't assume that 7bit ascii strings are encoded in UTF-8, only
261 validate the strings when they contain octest with highest bit set
262 (patch by Mikko Rauhala)
263 - Make random really random when resolving
264 - Don't get confused by a join command with too many arguments, keys

275 - Fix format string in printtext_dest call from Perl, patch by loafier
276 - Fix memory leaks in expandos_deinit by Nicolas Collignon (Bug 419)

280 Daniel Koning (Bug 164)
281 - Removed automatic glib downloading and compiling.
282 - Fix /FORMAT -delete daychange so it doesn't print an empty line

287 - Properly initialize reference count for a new setting (Bug #235)
289 v0.8.10 2005-12-11 The Irssi team <staff@irssi.org>
291 * Long delayed release, with lots of changes. Most important ones:
292 + Recode support, by decadix and senneth
293 + isupport (005 numeric), by David Leadbeater
294 + Passive DCC support, by Francesco Fracassi
295 - Many memleak fixes, by Toby Peterson
297 + Moved to subversion
298 + /SET paste_join_multiline ON - When paste detection is enabled and
299 you paste lines which look like they're being copy&pasted from irssi
300 itself, it attempts to merge lines said originally in a single line.
302 How this really works is that all indented lines must have the same
303 amount of indentation. Indented lines are merged to last
304 unindented line. If line gets longer than 400 characters, it's split.
305 + /SET whois_hide_safe_channel_id ON - Hides the channel ID prefix
306 of !channels in WHOIS replies
307 + When reconnecting to server, say that it can be aborted with
309 + /WHOIS -<server tag> is supported now
310 + /SET whois_hide_safe_channel_id - removes the ugly IDs for !channels
312 + If we can't connect to server using given own IP, show the IP to
313 user in the error message. Should help figuring out wrong
314 /SET hostname or /SERVER -host settings.
315 + If channel has more nicks than /SET channel_max_who_sync, don't ask
316 /WHO list to avoid getting kicked out of server (Max SendQ exceeded).
317 + /LOAD script.pl loads the perl script
318 + /IGNORE -network ignores only on specified network
319 + /SET use_status_window and /SET use_msgs_window make the effects
321 + Changed the confusing "ircnet" to "network" everywhere
322 + Don't autoget files sent to channels, unless dcc_autoget_masks is set
323 + Added a default "*" target which matches everything on the server,
324 including NULL items associated with it, by jimmy
325 + /UPGRADE now saves server->version
326 + If available, send who set topic and when to irssi-proxy clients
327 + Cleaned up network list: removed smaller networks, added QuakeNet
328 + New default aliases: MANUAL-WINDOWS, EXEMPTLIST and ATAG
329 + Recode support: /RECODE for manipulation of the conversion database.
330 Setting "term_type" has been renamed to "term_charset".
331 /SET recode OFF to disable recode completely.
332 /SET recode_out_default_charset <charset> to specify the default
334 /SET recode_fallback <charset> to specify a charset that will be
335 used when the normal conversion is failing.
336 /SET recode_transliterate ON to enable character transliteration,
337 so unavailable characters will be transliterated into something
339 <charset> can be almost everything listed by 'iconv -l'
340 + Added transpose_words, capitalize_word, downcase_word, upcase_word
342 + Avoid accidentaly /VER in a channel, by requiring parameter
343 - Pasted lines weren't added to command history. Some other paste
345 - Fixed /BIND escape_char
346 - Fixes for Chinese multibyte characters handling and cursor movement
348 - Pasting multibyte chars was buggy, patch by Kuang-che Wu
349 - Fixed handling WHOIS printing once and for all. Everything unknown
350 between "beginning of whois" and "end of whois" events is now printed
351 as whois_special. Removed whois_registered and whois_help, they're
352 printed with whois_special as well.
353 - Don't replace channel key when receiving channel mode numeric. It
354 could be a fake key there.
355 - Don't crash if dcc chated user changes nick
356 - Help files are always lowercased. Make sure /HELP COMMAND works too.
357 - /EXEC crashed with 64bit systems. Patch by Soren Jacobsen
358 - Handle 432 numeric (errorneus nickname) as "nick in use". Fixes
359 problems with ircnet 2.11 ircd when irssi tries to reconnect using
360 UID as nick. Patch by Petr Baudis
361 - /SET -default fixes
362 - /DCC SEND didn't actually use /SET dcc_upload_path

364 - Make /JOIN -tag #channel and /JOIN #channel<space> switch to that
365 channel (Bugs 13 and 93)
366 - Fixed readded (changed) hilights being in config twice, resulted in
367 duplicate hilights or removed hilights coming back (Bug 39)

377 - Fix multiple entries for local IP in /etc/hosts prevents connecting,
378 patch by eridius (Bug 167)
379 - Fixed a bug with /me, use the right arguments for
380 "message irc own_action"
381 - Update our own nickrec->gone flag on /away <reason> or on /away
382 - Fixed output of /hilight (add a space after -levels if any)
383 - Add libtool's -module flag to get built properly on all platforms,
384 by Toby Peterson (Bug 212)
385 - Don't apply emphasis on _foo_^ if it's a nick (Bug 52)

397 based on patch by Krzysztof Kowalik (Borys)
398 - Fixed irssiproxy sometimes missing (parts of) lines
399 - Fixed remote /WHOWAS
400 - Parse negative time setting values, makes it possible again to do
401 /SET server_reconnect_time -1 to disable reconnecting
403 - Compile with readonly srcdir
404 - Fixed crash if receiving broken privmsg without source
405 (which bitlbee can send if you msg yourself)
406 - Fixed crash with invalid TERM and termcap
407 - When looking up IP addresses, return random IP instead of the first one
409 v0.8.9 2003-12-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
411 * Fixes a remote crash with:
412 a) non-x86 hardware (one requiring memory alignmentation)
413 b) script using "gui print text" signal (with x86 hardware too)
415 + /SET auto_whowas OFF allows now disabling automatic /whowas when
416 /whois doesn't find a nick (by Borys)
417 - If pasted line starts with command char, treat it as command always.
418 Paste detection can go on too easily with lagged connections.
420 v0.8.8 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
422 - Just a few fixes to converting old settings automatically
424 v0.8.7 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
426 * Settings changes - we have now "time", "size" and "level" setting
428 - Level settings should work the same as before.
429 - Time settings can have units: days, hours, mins, secs,
430 milliseconds (or msecs). The units can be combined and written
431 in shorter form as well, for example "5d 30m 10ms"
432 - Size settings can have units: gbytes, mbytes, kbytes, bytes.
433 They can be written in shorter form as well, eg. "gb" or "g".
435 Your existing settings should be converted automatically.
437 + Pasting detection. All keys except CR and LF are pasted as-is into
438 prompt in pasting mode.
440 /SET paste_detect_time controls how closely each others characters
441 must occur for it to be considered pasting. Paste mode goes on when
442 first pasted CR/LF is found.
444 The first line may also contain some command characters. They are
445 executed, but their action in entry line is reverted once pasting
448 What this means in practise is that even if you have TABs (assuming
449 TAB is completion key) in the first pasted line, they get pasted as
452 This detection isn't perfect, so if it annoys you it can be disabled
453 with /SET paste_detect_time 0
454 + If pasting more lines than /SET paste_verify_line_count, irssi asks
455 if you actually want to do that. This should be useful to prevent
456 accidental copy&paste mistakes. Setting it to 0 disables this
458 + Support for sending SSL certificate to server and optionally verify
459 server's certificate. See the -ssl_* options for /SERVER and
460 /SERVER ADD. Patch by Joel Eriksson.
461 + DCC SERVER support by Mark Trumbull
462 + Support for DCC sending larger files than 2GB if supported by
463 operating system (ie. 64bit file support). Receiving has always
464 been possible, but the statistics were wrong with >4GB files
465 if 64bit support isn't enabled.
466 + Better displaying of DCC file transfer statistics.
467 - Several other minor fixes and enhancements, see ChangeLog
469 v0.8.6 2002-11-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
471 * Tons of changes, here's only the largest that come to my mind now:
473 + SSL support by vjt@users.sf.net
474 + DCC send queues by Heikki Orsila
475 + Better support for !channels
477 v0.8.4 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
479 * Continuing to fix my stupid mistakes...
481 - When a queried nick did a nick change, it might have crashed irssi
482 - read ChangeLog for some other minor changes
484 v0.8.3 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
486 - Perl scripts handling channel parts/kicks/quits printed some
488 - Connecting to IPv6 servers without IPv4 record didn't work
489 - When queries were auto-created by you using /MSG and you had
490 /SET autoclose_query non-zero, the query was always destroyed
492 - Fix to some stupid ircds not sending us 001 numeric, but
495 v0.8.2 2002-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
497 * Changed the list of scripts distributed with irssi. Separated
498 example scripts to scripts/examples/ directory.
500 * Hated infobar was removed, the same info is now in topicbar in
501 empty windows. I don't think it would disturb anyone in there.
502 If you still preferred always-empty topicbars, use
503 /SBAR topic REMOVE topic_empty
505 + Added info_eol field to theme. If true, timestamp and server tag
506 are added to end of line, not at beginning.
507 + If -4 or -6 option is used with /SERVER, irssi now forces the
508 connection using the given protocol or fails.
509 + /SET max_wildcard_modes (default 6) - if a wildcard to /OP, /DEOP,
510 /VOICE or /DEVOICE matches more nicks than this, -yes option is
511 required. This is trying to prevent accidental massops. Setting
512 it to 0 disables this check.
513 + Supports now correctly servers which use '.' char as channel owner
514 character in /NAMES list. Also supports multiple mode chars, eg.
515 @+nick (if some server actually used it).
516 + Never ignore kick message if you get kicked from channel.
517 + Sending irssi SIGHUP now does a /RELOAD - useful if you
518 accidentally messed up something which doesn't let you do the
519 /RELOAD inside irssi (eg. /SBAR prompt DISABLE).
520 + irssi-proxy: PROXY CTCP ON|OFF - proxy clients can send this
521 command to specify that they want to handle the received CTCP
522 requests. Useful for specifying who gets to handle DCCs.
523 + Added escape_char /BIND command. The next char after that would be
524 added as-is to input line.
525 - Writing lines longers than 1024 chars to input buffer crashed
526 irssi (stupid missing sizeof() bug :)
528 - Better flood protection for lines with >100 chars
529 - Control characters aren't printed as-is in topicbar (or statusbars
531 - /OPER can be now aborted by giving empty password
532 - Netjoin messages were buggy in +channels
533 - Part message parameter for /CYCLE was never used.
534 - Don't send -autosendcmd after /UPGRADE.
535 - /SET autoclose_query - now only last received private message
536 affects when the query is closed, ie. /WHOIS requests or nick
537 changes don't reset the counter.
538 - Foreground ANSI colors weren't working
539 - Deleting one character replaced cutbuffer with that character.
540 Also ^Y leaked memory.
541 - /SCRIPT LOAD looked scripts from prefix/lib dir, not prefix/share
542 where they were actually installed.
543 - Highascii chars in replaces block in theme files could have
546 v0.8.1 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
548 * Expected bugfix release :) Worst thing was that I forgot always to
549 debug why /cat /dev/urandom crashed irssi. Well, found two ways
550 that could make it happen.
552 - Irssi was linked with -lcurses AND -lncurses
553 - Logging could have produced GLib errors with certain conditions
554 - A few compiler warnings fixes
556 v0.8.0 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
558 * I really should make releases more often. Once in every two weeks
559 used to be nice. Maybe once in a month would be good now. There
560 was many reasons why this release took this long .. first being
561 addicted to books, then life stuff, then it took forever to figure
562 out that irssi was crashing under solaris (and not because of one
563 of the big changes I made while moving to IRC from solaris box).
565 And now.. well, after this release I'll start working more with
566 the yet another irssi rewrite :) The code is getting too ugly
567 again, and some things need rewriting to support some new features
568 more easily. It will take a while to get it all done, so I'll try
569 to keep updating this "stable" irssi as well.
571 There's too many changes since 0.7.98.3 (and .4 which was just
572 minor bugfix), about 6600 lines in ChangeLog. I'm not going to
573 read all that, so I'll just list the biggest changes that I can
576 This version was supposed to be called 0.7.99, but since there
577 were so many changes, and I originally though of putting 0.8.0
578 out long time ago, and 0.7.100 would look stupid, I guess it's
581 + /UPGRADE - upgrade irssi to new version on-the-fly without
582 disconnecting from server, so other people won't even notice you
583 quit from IRC. This ONLY executes the new binary, it does NOT
584 download/compile/whatever irssi.
585 + UTF-8 support with /SET term_type UTF-8, default is "8bit".
586 It's also automatically detected from system locale (if supported).
587 + Fully configurable statusbar. Yes. FULLY. Don't bother asking if
588 something could be done with it, it can, just ask how. Well,
589 there's a few things I didn't have time/energy to finish:
590 window-specific statusbar groups and support for multiple input
592 + Rewritten keyboard handling. No more the CTRL-X and ALT-x handling,
593 now you can create whatever keyboard combinations your terminal
595 + Rewritten text buffer (scrollback) handling.
596 + Irssi doesn't depend on curses anymore, so it can be installed
597 anywhere a working terminfo/termcap exists. This also allows us to
598 use all the possible colors terminal has (curses limits to 64), so
599 eg. %0 is now always black background, not the default terminal
602 Several systems have also terminfo/termcap database that doesn't
603 support colors, so I've added /SET term_force_colors option to
604 force ANSI-style colors. Note that eg. BitchX does this by default.
606 Getting rid of curses allows also one great thing for you people
607 copy&pasting long urls :) If a long word gets split to two lines,
608 doubleclicking the word selects it from both lines.
609 + Rewritten server event redirections. Before it was pretty easy to
610 mess up irssi's expectations of what server sends, and some things
611 might have stayd in the buffer forever. Especially notify lists
612 messed up /WHOIS requests for the notified people. Now all this
613 should be history and it's a lot easier for scripts to use the
614 redirections as well.
615 + New ICB chat protocol plugin - very basic and doesn't support
616 nicklist, but works. :)
617 + --home and --config parameters to specify alternate ~/.irssi
618 directory or config file.
619 + Scripts can be unloaded separately with /SCRIPT UNLOAD. You can get
620 a list of runnning scripts with /SCRIPT.
621 + /SERVER PURGE [<target>] - purge the output buffer (for given
622 target). Useful for example if you accidentally paste 100 lines :)
623 The buffer is automatically purged if you get kicked from channel,
624 or if you /PART the channel and there's more than 10 lines in
627 v0.7.98.3 2001-03-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
629 * Highlighting changes: /HILIGHT -color, /SET hilight_color and
630 /SET hilight_act_color don't accept the numeric color value
631 anymore, the colors must be the %code format (see the beginning
632 of docs/formats.txt). The color can also have background and
633 underline/blinking set (%F%Y = blinking yellow)
635 * Statusbar rewrite: Statusbar should finally work well when
636 there's not enough space for it in screen. Least important items
637 start shrinking/disappearing before more important ones, activity
638 list should be always fully visible now.
640 /SET statusbar_xxx settings have been removed, everything is
641 configurable from theme now. Even the texts in the statusbar
642 items. See end of default.theme.
644 FULLY configurable statusbar with possibility to create your own
645 items and support for multiple lines will hopefully come soon.
647 + /WINDOW CLOSE [<first> [<last>] - you can close multiple
649 + Emphasis work with actions now
650 + If there's any unknown settings in your configuration file, irssi
651 asks at startup if they should be removed.
652 + All abstracts in theme files now default to same as in
653 default.theme, so you may override only those you want to change
654 leaving the rest commented out.
655 - Irssi crashed when specifying vhost to use (not always?)
656 - Fixed one nasty usage of already free'd memory. Hopefully solves
658 - Some perl fixes, Irssi::Nick and "massjoin" signal didn't work
659 properly which broke all auto-op scripts.
660 - If one server fails because of DNS error, don't stop reconnecting
662 - Updated default config to have max_query_chans=1 in undernet to
663 avoid those channel syncing problems.
664 - /SERVER didn't autojoin channels if it was used when you weren't
665 connected to any other servers
666 - /CONNECT -ircnet didn't load ircnet specific settings correctly
667 - /SET scroll_page_count - don't crash if /0 is given. Works now
668 properly if /0.xx is given.
669 - ^O did reset only colors, not underlines etc.
670 - Several fixes with handling blinking text
671 - Irssi crashed almost immediately with NetBSD/Alpha, fixed. Still
672 not sure if it was compiler bug or is my code just non-standard C.
673 - Reconnecting in IPv6 server shouldn't change to IPv4
674 - Irssi proxy didn't work properly with systems where irssi was
675 compiled with --enable-ipv6 but OS didn't support IPv6
677 v0.7.98.2 2001-03-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
679 + /LASTLOG: added -case option for case-sensitive matching.
680 -force option is now required to print lastlogs longer than
682 + /BANTYPE -> /SET ban_type. /BAN: -type option added to override
684 + /NAMES: -ops -halfops -voices -normal options added.
685 /NAMES without parameters now prints nicklist in active channel,
686 /NAMES ** shows all nicks in all channels.
687 + delete_next_word key implemented, patch by Tinuk
688 + /SET beep_when_window_active - works with /SET beep_msg_level,
689 should we beep when the msg is printed to active window. If msg
690 is printed to some other window it always beeps.
691 + /JOIN #channel and /QUERY nick won't anymore automatically move
692 channel/query to active window but send a notice to user how to
693 move it. This was confusing people who did it accidentally.
694 + /SET autostick_split_windows (default ON) - should we do
695 /WINDOW STICK ON to all new split windows and hidden windows that
696 are created inside it. This hopefully makes it easier to use split
698 - All IPv6 problems are hopefully fixed. Everything now keeps both
699 v4 and v6 addresses in memory and at connect() time it's decided
700 which one should be used.
701 - /IGNORE * level printed GLib error. /RELOADing printed some
702 unignore texts. Autoignores had some problems.
703 - Using /LAYOUT SAVE with split windows crashed irssi at startup
704 when it tried to restore them..
705 - /WINDOW SHOW command didn't work properly
706 - /LAST -clear crashed if window contained only lastlog lines.
707 Beeping after /LAST -clear also could have crashed.
708 - HILIGHT level didn't work with logs.
709 - /SET prompt - if $T (target) had %c or something in it, it
710 shouldn't be treated as color code. So color codes can now be
711 used in /SET prompt string itself, but in none of the $variables
713 - Generated help files had joined lines in chapter together but
714 didn't add spaces between lines.
715 - Statusbar could have gotten to endless loop when trying to give
716 more space to some item when there was no more available space.
717 - When /SET autoclose_windows is ON, don't destroy windows if they
718 have some level set (like /join -w + /part in status window)
719 - If GLIB was unpacked to irssi directory, make install tried to
721 - Always save theme to ~/.irssi/ no matter where it was read from.
722 - If /SET names_max_width was too low, irssi crashed
723 - /CONNECT -ircnet "" - even if someone does this don't make the
725 - /QUERYing #channel that was already /JOINed crashed irssi after
727 - /SET -clear printed GLib error when done to boolean settings
729 v0.7.98.1 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
731 - fixed stupid remote crash with nick_match_msg()
733 v0.7.98 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
735 * Theme files aren't fully compatible with old ones, there's a few
736 naming changes and some new items. Added lots of comments and help
737 to default.theme, so creating themes should be a bit easier now :)
739 * Perl scripts aren't compatible with old ones anymore. Biggest
740 change is that $object->values()->{xxx} calls are now just
741 $object->{xxx}, but there's a lot of other changes as well.
742 docs/perl.txt is now up to date so you may want to read it.
744 * Several settings have changed their names:
745 /SET beep_on_msg -> beep_msg_level
746 /SET activity_levels -> activity_msg_level
747 /SET hilight_levels -> activity_hilight_level
748 /SET noact_channels -> activity_hide_targets
750 + /SET prompt, /SET prompt_window - Specifies the text in prompt.
751 'prompt' is used when channel or query is active in window and
752 'prompt_window' is used with empty windows. You can also use
753 % color codes in prompt.
754 + /EXEC - rewrote it, has now all the same features as EPIC and a
755 few more, like "interactive shell in window" support. See
756 /HELP exec for information.
757 + /SAVEWINDOWS renamed to /LAYOUT SAVE. Added /LAYOUT RESET.
758 /LAYOUT SAVE now saves split windows and queries properly.
759 Windows that contain saved channels are never used for anything
760 else (ie. if the saved channel isn't joined, no other channels
761 can be joined to the window)
762 + /WINDOW SERVER: added -sticky and -unsticky options. If window
763 server is sticky, it will never be automatically changed, and it
764 cannot be changed to anything else without -unsticky option.
765 Should be useful for people who want status or msgs windows for
767 + /WINDOW STICK [ON|OFF|<ref#>] - stick window to specified split
768 window. After setting window to sticky non-sticky windows can't
769 replace the active sticky one. Each split window can have it's own
771 + /WINDOW LEFT, /WINDOW RIGHT - Go to previous/next window in the
772 current sticky window group, or if there's no sticky windows go to
773 previous/next non-sticky window. Alt-Left/Right keys default to
775 + /WINDOW NUMBER: -sticky option added. Closing windows before a
776 sticky window won't change refnum of the sticky window and windows
778 + /SET windows_auto_renumber - should window refnums be packed when
779 some window is destroyed in the middle
780 + /SET scroll_page_count - how many lines to scroll with pgup/pgdn.
781 either an absolute value, or if the count starts with '/', it's
782 calculated as lines_in_screen/count. The default is /2.
783 + /SET timestamp_format specifies the format to use with timestamps
784 in "man strftime" format.
785 + Emphasis (*word*, _word_) replacing works better now. It doesn't
786 try to change nicks or any non-words. This time people might want
787 to actually use it :)
788 + Nick completion logic changes, should work better now. Changed
789 meaning of /SET completion_keep_publics to be number of publics
790 to keep instead of time to keep them.
791 + /HILIGHT: Added -priority option (deciding which color should stay
792 in activity list), /SET hilight_level to specify the default level
793 for /HILIGHTs. -word option renamed to -full. Added new -word
794 option meaning to highlight only the found word in line. Removed
795 -nonick option but added -line which means pretty much the same.
796 -actcolor specifies what color to show in activity list, default
797 is the same as -color or if there's no -color it defaults to
798 /SET hilight_act_color. Colors can have background color set with
799 fg,bg. Works with activity list too, useful for example blinking.
800 + DCC rewrite. File names with spaces work properly, you can have
801 multiple dcc chats with same people (or more useful, same nick in
802 different ircnets), /DCC CHAT|GET|RESUME with no arguments accepts
803 the last request, notifies if dcc request was sent to channel,
804 warns about connecting to lowports, /SET dcc_autoget_lowports
805 specifies if autogetting should work with lowports, complains of
806 invalid DCC CTCPs instead of ignoring, /SET dcc_autoresume is like
807 dcc_autoget except resumes the files if possible.
808 + /NAMES can print columns with different widths now. You can change
809 the max. width with /SET names_max_width and /SET names_max_columns
810 settings. Default is max. 6 columns.
811 + /LASTLOG: Added options -file <filename> for writing lastlog to
812 file, -window <ref#|name> for specifying which window's lastlog to
813 print (output is always to active window) and -clear option to
814 remove all lastlog lines from window.
815 + /OPER [<nick> [<password>]] - syntax changed. If password isn't
817 + /FOREACH server|channel|query|window <command>
818 + /UNBAN <ref#> works. /BAN list shows reference numbers.
819 + /PERL <code> - runs perl code (like /PERL Irssi::print "hello")
820 + /CLEAR -all - clear all windows
821 + /KICKBAN and /KNOCKOUT accepts multiple nicks separated with commas
822 + /SET theme - says what theme was changed to, and complains if
823 theme wasn't found. Setting theme's name to "xxx.theme" now works,
824 too many people tried it with the .theme suffix :)
825 + /WHOIS without parameters in query does now same as
827 + IPv6 updates: /CONNECT, /SERVER, /SERVER ADD: added -4 and -6
828 options for specifying if we should connect to IPv4 or IPv6 address
829 of the server. If -host or /SET hostname is set, irssi determines
830 from it if it should use IPv4 or v6. If irssi still isn't sure of
831 it, it fallbacks to /SET resolve_prefer_ipv6
832 + Logs and rawlogs write to files through special "write buffer". By
833 default everything gets written immediately, but you can make it
834 wait until there's specified amount of data in buffer or write once
835 in a hour or so. Useful for people who want to keep hard disk at
836 sleep at nights but still want to log. /SET write_buffer_mins and
837 /SET write_buffer_kb specifies when to flush the buffer.
838 /FLUSHBUFFER flushes it immediately.
839 + LOTS of other smaller things that should make your life easier :)
840 - /SET dcc_autorename OFF didn't work before.
841 - Irssi compiled with IPv6 support didn't work properly with some
843 - Theme saving to home dir didn't work correctly if globaldir
844 already had the same theme.
845 - If log file locking failed, irssi always assumed it was locked
846 while it could have been because filesystem didn't support locking
847 or some other problem..
849 v0.7.97 2000-12-03 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
851 * Added templates for themes - this allowed separation of the
852 actual texts and styling/coloring. See default.theme file for
853 more information. You should remove your old ~/.irssi/default.theme
854 or at least merge it with the defaul.theme.
856 * If GLIB sources are found unpacked from some subdirectory, always
857 compile it and use it even if GLIB is already installed somewhere
860 + /SCROLLBACK REDRAW - redraw contents of current window according
861 to active formats, ie. changing theme updates the scrollback.
862 This requires /SET scrollback_save_formats ON.
863 + /SET log_theme <theme> - you can specify what theme to use for
864 writing texts to log file.
865 + /WAIT [-<server tag>] <milliseconds> - wait for <milliseconds>
866 before sending anything else to server
867 + /EXEC <command> - execute command and print it's output (stdout
868 only) to screen. (by Tinuk)
869 + Don't indent the next line when long word is split, this should
870 help a bit when copying long URLs.
871 + Remember who set the topic and when, display the info when using
873 + /SET emphasis - convert _underlined_ and *bold* words (and phrases)
874 to use real underlines/bolds. (by tommik)
875 + While waiting for more netsplits/netjoins, if anything else is
876 printed to screen, print the current netsplit/netjoin messages
878 + Print multiple identical mode changes in one line
879 (mode +o nick by nick1, nick2, nick3)
880 + /WINDOW ITEM GOTO <name> - sets <name> active in current window
881 + /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <window#>|<name> - moves window item to another
883 + /SET autocreate_windows - should we create new windows for new
884 window items or just place everything to one window
885 + /JOIN #already_joined_channel, /QUERY already_queried_nick - same
886 as /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <name>
887 + /SET activity_level, /SET hilight_level - specifies which message
888 levels should be treated as msg/hilight activity. (by tommik)
889 + DCC queries are now created automatically only if /SET
890 autocreate_query_level has DCCMSGS level
891 + If other side replies to our DCC CHAT request with DCC CHAT
892 request of their own (maybe we were inside firewall and other
893 side noticed it), connect to it immediately.
894 + Don't allow more than one identical DCC request, if more is
895 received just update the port of the previous request.
896 + Added KILL handling - user/server kills are now printed formatted.
897 + If server KILLs you, connect back (almost) immediately (don't wait
898 for the default 5 minutes)
899 + Nick completion now completes nicks from all channels in active
900 window, except when completing the first word in line only nicks
901 in active channel are completed.
902 + /SET show_nickmode_empty - when nick has no mode, should we
904 + /SET part_message - default message with /PART
905 + Added -current, -window and -level options to /ECHO
906 + Ctrl-T = transpose_characters
907 + Perl scripting supports now printformat(), ie. user can change
908 the text format with /FORMAT just like any other formats.
909 + Proxy plugin now supports multiple servers, blocks CTCPs from
910 clients behind it and if one client sends message to channel,
911 other clients + proxy itself also receives the message.
912 - Netsplit/netjoin printing fixes. Sometimes netsplits were hidden
913 completely and some netjoins were forgotten and printed as normal
915 - Lag checking broke sometimes when nick was changed
916 - Don't close non-autolog logs when leaving channel / closing query.
917 - Time formats didn't work in directory name of autologs.
918 - Sometimes join to channel didn't ever get synced.
919 - IPv6 support didn't work correctly with all non-Linux OSes.
920 - Lots of minor fixes and changes to make your life easier.
922 v0.7.96 2000-10-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
924 * new configure option: --disable-curses-windows. Use this if curses
925 always redraws the window when scrolling. This is a weird problem,
926 I'd like to know why it happens. :)
927 * Log settings are incompatible with previous versions. You'll need
928 to setup them again. Or the targets are actually the only ones
929 that irssi won't read correctly.
930 * Lots of moving and cleaning and rewriting stuff from irc to core
931 so adding other IRC-like protocols (but not IRC) would be easier.
932 This was mostly done to make SILC plugin work.
933 * Perl was split to Irssi and Irssi::Irc packages. You'll currently
934 need to use both of them with perl scripts ("use Irssi;
935 use Irssi::Irc;). This might not be needed in future :)
937 - /SET default_nick -> /SET nick
938 - /FORMAT own_me -> /FORMAT own_action
939 - /FORMAT own_dcc_me -> /FORMAT own_dcc_action
941 + Small tutorial to new irssi users - docs/startup-HOWTO.txt
942 + Proxy plugin works again, thanks to fuchs for fixing it :)
943 + You can now connect multiple times to same server and
944 reconnections will work correctly with them.
945 + Support for half-ops (+h)
946 + Actions will now show up in window activity with hilight or
947 message-color, not the text-color as before.
948 + Added tab-completion for /BIND's commands.
949 + Perl support is now built as runtime loadable module by default.
950 You can still build it statically with --enable-perl=static
952 + /SET completion_nicks_lowercase - when completing nicks always
953 write the nick with lowercase (uppercase letters are ugly ;)
954 + /BIND <key> /command works now directly instead of needing the
955 "command" id in the middle
956 + /connect + /server server/chatnet completion by tommik.
957 + Keyboard should never get stuck again when receiving huge amounts
958 of text from server that irssi doesn't handle fast enough.
959 - Hopefully fixed the problem when Irssi starts eating 100% CPU
960 - Fixes to make irssi work with other (older and newer) perl
962 - /MSG -servertag crashed irssi.
963 - /BAN could crash when showing bans
964 - log_day_change was never printed in logs
965 - /mode #channel -oooo... would deop the first 3, and then op the
967 - When pressing down key, the command line wasn't saved to history.
968 - Closing or moving window didn't update the window activity list.
969 - Autologging with same named channels in different networks works
972 v0.7.95 2000-08-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
975 - /LOG: Removed the -rotate option, it was pretty useless since
976 adding the % formats to file name already tells that the log
978 - WJOIN -> /JOIN -window and WQUERY -> /QUERY -window. Added
979 WJOIN and WQUERY aliases for them in default config..
980 + /SAVEWINDOWS saves the current layout of windows. It's
981 automatically reloaded at startup.
982 + Theme fixes: /RELOAD reloads them, /SET theme changes the default
983 theme, you can have window specific themes with /WINDOW THEME.
984 + Irssi uses now real curses windows, irssi should work now better
986 + Autologging supports log rotating now too, just add the wanted %
987 formats to /SET autolog_path
988 + /MSG nick completion now gives the nicks in right time order when
989 using multiple irc networks.
990 + /SET beep_on_msg now works with all message levels, including
992 + You can change the default line indentation with /SET indent
993 + /channel add -bots: You can now use @ or + before the nick mask to
994 indicate that bot should have either ops or voices/ops.
996 - Added namespaces, you don't have to worry about if someone
997 else also happens to be using event_privmsg function..
998 - You can unload scripts with /UNLOAD <name>.
999 - Running scripts that are already loaded, destroys the old
1001 - Added Irssi::print_window() function to print text to current
1003 - Don't autoclose window after part/unquery if there was still some
1004 channels/queries left in window.
1005 - Autologging fixes: Don't log WHOIS replies by default
1006 (autolog_level = all -crap). And with /msg nick1,nick2 don't log
1007 to file nick1,nick2.log but nick1.log and nick2.log separately.
1008 It also failed if you hadn't created the base path for the logs,
1009 now irssi creates the whole directory path.
1011 v0.7.94 2000-07-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1013 * Help files! Use /HELP <command> to see them.
1014 They're just very first beta versions so don't expect too much.
1015 They were written by Markus Vuori <mm@vuori.net> with some help
1016 from EPIC's help files :)
1019 - /SET completion_disable_auto -> completion_auto
1020 - Changed the names of /BIND commands to be epic-compatible.
1021 Also added several new commands.
1022 - If --prefix is used, add the default perl library directory to
1024 + Implemented /WINDOW LAST for changing to last current window.
1025 + Added DCCMSGS message level. Actions match now either MSGS or
1026 PUBLIC level as well as the ACTIONS level always.
1027 + SET print_active_channel - if you have multiple channels in same
1028 window, should we always print the channel for each message
1029 (<nick:#channel>) or only when the channel isn't active.
1030 + Don't print nick changes and quit messages from same nick more
1031 than once in the same window (if you had joined multiple channels
1033 + /SET settings_autosave - If set ON, settings are automatically
1034 saved when quitting and once per hour.
1035 + Don't allow recursive aliases, ie. /alias echo echo hello does
1036 print hello instead of going to infinite loop.
1037 + Implemented /IGNORE -time <seconds>, patch by fuchs.
1038 + /PERLFLUSH now cleans up the Perl interpreter properly (closes
1039 all the files opened in perl scripts, etc)
1040 - Awaylog didn't work right if you did /AWAY multiple times.
1041 - /NOTIFY -idle sometimes printed the unidle-message even if the
1042 nick really didn't stop idling. Fixed several other notify list
1044 - Tab-msgcompletion didn't work right after you had used
1046 - Fixed the long standing text buffer bug which could sometimes
1047 crash irssi if you were unlucky.
1048 - The channel key given in /JOIN should override the one given
1050 - /RELOAD caused several bugs
1052 v0.7.93 2000-07-09 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1054 + Implemented /BIND [<key> [<action> [<data>]]] command.
1055 <key> can be CTRL-x, ALT-X or ALT-SHIFT-X
1056 The most useful action is "command", give the command in <data>.
1057 You can see the rest of the actions with typing /BIND without
1058 any parameters. Some actions might have more than one word,
1059 to use them type the action in "quotation marks".
1060 + When netsplit is over, irssi prints "Netsplit over, joins: (nicks)"
1061 and hides all the real JOIN messages.
1062 + /^COMMAND hides the output of the command, it's not written to
1063 log either. Good for sending passwords for example.
1064 + If you're pasting text to channel and some of it starts with /,
1065 Irssi will send the "/command" to channel if it doesn't exist
1066 (instead of just printing "unknown command").
1067 + --enable-perl[=libdir] to configure - you can specify what
1068 directory to install the perl libraries.
1069 + Implemented runtime loadable modules. /LOAD loads a module,
1071 + You can change statusbar colors with /SET statusbar_xxx.
1072 + Added -clear option to /SET.
1073 + Tab-completion for /FORMAT.
1074 + Ctrl-Y undeletes the last line deleted with Ctrl-U.
1075 - Reconnecting to server had a few bugs
1076 - /RELOADing configuration produced a few bugs
1077 - Highlighting had several bugs
1078 - Automatic command and option completions had some bugs
1079 - -option tab-completion didn't work
1081 v0.7.92 2000-06-30 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1085 /SERVER -add, -remove, -list -> /SERVER ADD, REMOVE, LIST
1086 /SET window_close_on_part -> /SET autoclose_windows
1087 /HILIGHT -nick -> /HILIGHT -mask (see below)
1088 + Automatic completion of /commands. Automatic completion of
1089 command -options. Complains about unknown -options.
1090 + /MSG [-<server tag>] <nick> <msg> - you can specify what server
1091 to send the message to.
1092 + Rewrote tab-completion to be modular, it's REALLY easy to add
1093 completion to whatever you want. It now handles:
1094 - Command completion works better, subcommand completion works
1095 - Command -option completion
1096 - /MSG completion completes from all IRC servers, so if you had
1097 message from ircnet and efnet, irssi will complete with
1098 /MSG -ircnet nick1 -> /MSG -efnet nick2
1099 - #channel completion works - it completes only channels you
1100 have joined or have in setup
1101 - File name completion with /DCC SEND (and other commands)
1102 - /TOGGLE settings completion
1103 - Completion for command parameters or subcommands work right
1104 even if the command was typed as alias.
1106 - -nick highlights only the nick, not the whole line. Works
1107 only with public messages.
1108 - -mask option matches the text for nick mask (it didn't even
1110 - Window numbers in activity list are colored with hilight
1112 - You can give real color names with -color option. All the
1113 "normal" colors can be given, if you want bold colors, use
1114 b+color name, like bgreen.
1115 - /SET hilight_color specifies the default highlight color
1116 - /SET hilight_only_nick specifies if we should highlight the
1117 nick or the whole line if -nick or -nonick wasn't specified
1119 + /LAST -away checks only lines that came after last time you
1121 + You can specify command(s) to be sent automatically to server
1122 after connected with /IRCNET -autosendcmd. Useful for sending
1123 your password to NickServ.
1124 + Added /SET reuse_unused_windows setting, default is OFF. Works
1125 only when /SET autoclose_windows is ON. This specifies if new
1126 windows should be joined to new window, or if existing empty
1127 windows should be used.
1128 + /SET lag_min_show -1 disables displaying lag entirely.
1129 - /SCROLLBACK HOME, END and GOTO commands weren't working right.
1130 - Closing active window that had channels/queries could crash
1131 - Using \n with /SET expand_escapes ON didn't work right.
1132 - Logging HILIGHT messages didn't work
1133 - The "max. count" parameter in /LAST didn't work right.
1135 v0.7.91 2000-06-14 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1137 + Ctrl-X changes IRC server in stats/msgs/empty windows.
1138 + /JOIN -<server tag> #channel joins to channel in specified server.
1139 + /WHOIS automatically sends a /WHOWAS query if nick wasn't in IRC.
1140 + if some unknown /command had another / in it, like /usr/bin,
1141 send it as normal message. good for copypasting paths :)
1142 + If you're not allowed to connect to server (K-lined, no I-line),
1143 Irssi won't try to reconnect back to the server.
1144 + You can disable window activity notifies in specified channels
1145 with /SET noact_channels #chan1 #chan2 .. The activity is
1146 displayed if window had a message to you.
1147 + Tab-completion works now with /commands and /set variables
1148 + /SET close_window_on_part - should we close the window too when
1150 + /SET autocreate_own_query ON - creates query window when you
1151 send message with /MSG nick.
1152 + /SET mail_counter specifies if we should show mail counter in
1154 + /SET wall_format specifies the text that's sent with /WALL
1155 + If you /SET expand_escapes ON and type \n or \t to text line, they
1156 will be expanded to newline and tab.
1157 + Ctrl-W deletes word in left
1158 - Flood was detected wrong - /SET flood_timecheck's argument was
1159 supposed to be seconds, not milliseconds.
1160 - Unignoring autoignored nicks didn't work
1161 - Logging wrote messages to log file twice
1162 - /WINDOW MOVE <number> could put irssi to infinite loop
1163 - ANSI blink code crashed irssi.
1164 - Replying to DCC GET and CHAT requests didn't work
1165 - /HILIGHT displayed levels twice, /HILIGHT -channels didn't work
1166 - /SET ignore_signals wasn't read at startup..
1168 v0.7.90 2000-06-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1170 * On the way to 0.8.0 .. Major rewriting/rearranging code. There's
1171 some changes in behaviour because I'm trying to make Irssi
1172 compatible with EPIC as much as possible (except the scripting,
1173 perl should be enough?)
1175 * DOCUMENTATION! See docs/manual.txt
1177 This NEWS file contains only the biggest new features, you should
1178 browse through the documentation to find the rest. Some of the
1179 parameters of commands listed in this file aren't really up to
1180 date since I got a bit bored writing them here too.. They are
1181 correct in the manual.
1183 * Irssi isn't anymore IRC specific client, you could easily take the
1184 whole IRC part away and use some other chat protocol instead, or
1185 use both at the same time. Currently however, only IRC protocol
1186 is supported. See docs/design.txt for more information.
1188 * libPropList isn't needed anymore - I'm using my own configuration
1189 library. This is mostly because different proplists worked a bit
1190 differently everywhere and several people had problems with it.
1191 It's also yet another extra library that you needed to compile
1192 Irssi. New configuration library has several advantages:
1194 You can add comments to configuration file and they also stay
1195 there when it's saved.
1197 It's not nearly as vulnerable as proplist. If some error occurs,
1198 instead of just not reading anything it will try to continue if
1199 possible. Also the error messages are written to irssi's text
1200 window instead of stdout.
1202 It can be managed more easily than proplist - setting/getting the
1203 configuration is a lot more easier.
1205 * Coding style changes - I'm not using gint, gchar etc. anymore,
1206 they're just extra pain when moving code to non-glib projects and
1207 syntax hilighting doesn't work by default with most editors ;)
1209 Indentation style was also changed to K&R because of some political
1210 reasons ;) And I'm already starting to like it.. :) It forces me
1211 to split code to different functions more often and the result is
1212 that the code gets more readable.
1214 And finally I'm also using `const' all over the place.
1216 * Signal handlers changed - you don't anymore return value 0 if you
1217 wish to stop signal. Instead use signal_stop() or
1218 signal_stop_by_name().
1220 + Flood protection when sending commands to server works now better.
1221 It allows sending first 5 messages immediately, but after that
1222 only one message is sent every 2.2 seconds.
1224 This is the same flood protection that most IRC servers use, so
1225 the only affect this protection has is that when sending a lot of
1226 commands to server you won't get kicked out from server because of
1229 This can be changed from settings `cmd_max_at_once' and
1230 `cmd_queue_speed'. If you want to disable this for some reason, use
1231 /SET cmd_queue_speed 0
1232 + Split windows in text version, all the normal ircII /WINDOW
1233 commands should work: new, kill, grow, shrink, balance, show, hide
1234 + /EVAL <commands> - Expand all the special variables from string and
1235 run it. Commands can be split with ; character. See
1236 docs/special_vars.txt for more info.
1237 + Aliases are parsed just like /EVAL - arguments are in $0..$9.
1238 + Text formats are also parsed like /EVAL, arguments used to be in
1239 $1..$9, now they're in $0..$8 so it messes up existing themes..
1240 + /SET [key [value]] - no more the '=' character. Boolean values
1241 also need to be changed with ON/OFF/TOGGLE values (not yes/no).
1242 + /SAVE [<filename>] - saves the settings to file.
1243 /REHASH [<filename>] - re-read the configuration file on the fly
1244 + /TOGGLE <key> [ON/OFF] - same as /SET <key> TOGGLE
1245 + /ALIAS [-]<alias> [<command>], /UNALIAS <alias>
1246 Show, add or remove aliases. /ALIAS -alias = /UNALIAS alias
1247 + /NOTIFY [-list] [-away] [-idle [minutes]] <mask> [ircnet [ircnet...]]
1248 -away notifies about away-status changes
1249 -idle notifies if idle time is first larger than `minutes'
1250 (default is hour) and then it drops down.
1251 -list lists the notify list entries with all their settings
1254 /NOTIFY without any arguments displays if the people in notify
1255 list are online or offline.
1256 + /HILIGHT [-nick | -regexp | -word] [-color <color>]
1257 [-level <level>] [-channels <channels>] <text>
1258 -nick: match only for nick
1259 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
1260 -word: `text' must match to full words
1261 -color: print the reply with `color' - color can be a bold (^B),
1262 underline (^_) etc. too
1263 -level: match only for `level' messages, default is
1264 publics,msgs,notices,actions
1265 -channels: match only in `channels'
1266 /DEHILIGHT <ref#> | <text>
1267 + /LASTLOG [-] [-new] [-regexp | -word] [-<level> [...]]
1268 [<pattern>] [<count> [<start>]]
1269 -: don't print the "Lastlog:" and "End of Lastlog" messages.
1270 -new: show only lines since last /LASTLOG
1271 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
1272 -word: `text' must match to full words
1273 -level: what levels to check, like -public -msgs (default is all)
1274 <pattern>: text to search for, or all if empty
1275 <count>: maximum number of lines to show
1276 <start>: skip the last `start' lines
1277 + /IGNORE [-regexp | -word] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except]
1278 [-channels <channel>] <mask> <levels> <^levels>
1279 -regexp: `pattern' is a regular expression
1280 -word: `pattern' must match to full words
1281 -pattern: <pattern> must match to the message's text
1282 -except: *DON'T* ignore
1283 -channels: ignore only in channels
1284 <mask>: either a nick mask or list of channels
1285 <levels>: list of levels to ignore
1286 <^levels>: list of levels to NOT ignore
1287 (/ignore -except nick notices = /ignore nick ^notices)
1288 /UNIGNORE <ref#> | <mask>
1290 The best match always wins, so you can have:
1292 /IGNORE -except *!*@host.org CTCPS
1293 + /LOG OPEN [-noopen] [-autoopen] [-targets <targets>] [-window]
1294 [-rotate hour|day|month] <filename> [<levels>]
1295 -noopen: create the entry to log list, but don't start logging
1296 -autoopen: automatically open this log file at startup
1297 -targets: log only in specified channels/nicks
1298 -window: Log this window
1299 -rotate: Reopen the log file every hour, day or month. This
1300 makes only sense if you specify date/time formats
1302 <filename>: File name where to log, it is parsed with strftime(),
1303 so %d=day, etc. see "man strftime" for more info.
1304 <levels>: Defaults to ALL
1305 /LOG CLOSE <ref#> | <fname> - close log and remove from log list
1306 /LOG START <ref#> | <fname> - start logging to file
1307 /LOG STOP <ref#> | <fname> - stop logging to file
1308 /LOG - display the log list
1309 NOTE: Log files are locked after opened, so two irssi's can't
1310 accidentally try to write to same log file.
1311 + /WINDOW LOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE [<filename>]
1312 Start/stop logging window, same as /LOG OPEN -window. If file name
1313 isn't given, it defaults to ~/irc.log.<windowname> or
1314 ~/irc.log.Window<ref#> if window doesn't have name.
1315 /WINDOW LOGFILE <filename>
1316 Creates the entry to log list, same as /LOG OPEN -window -noopen.
1317 Also, if /WINDOW LOG ON is used it starts logging to this file.
1318 + /SET AUTOLOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE
1319 /SET AUTOLOG_LEVEL <level>
1320 /SET AUTOLOG_PATH <path> - expandos can be used, $0 is the target.
1321 Enables automatic logging, files are automatically created as
1322 needed and after some time of inactivity, they are closed. If you
1323 are using multiple servers, it makes sense to use the server tag
1324 as part of the file name, for example ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log (this
1326 + /SET window_auto_change - if enabled, irssi will automatically
1327 change to automatically created windows (like queries). It will
1328 also clear your command line and put it to command history so that
1329 you don't accidentally write anything to wrong window. You'll get
1330 the command back by pressing up arrow.
1331 + /SET show_quit_once - show quit message only once instead of in
1332 all channel windows the nick was joined.
1333 + Server reconnections work better. It will now automatically set
1334 your previous user mode and away message (and rejoin the channels,
1335 which it already did before) after reconnected. If you use /SERVER
1336 to connect to different IRC network, none of this will be done.
1337 + /CAT <filename> - prints the file to screen
1338 + /SET query_auto_close <secs> - automatically close queries after
1339 <secs> seconds. It won't close queries that have unread messages,
1340 and it won't close queries in the active window.
1342 v0.7.28 2000-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1344 + irssi-text: New improved "text widget". It takes less memory and
1345 if you resize the terminal horizonally, the text automatically
1346 changes to right size. Several other changes too:
1348 /CLEAR only clears the screen, you can still scroll the window up.
1349 /SCROLLBACK, or the default alias /SB:
1350 /SB CLEAR - Clear screen, free all memory used by texts in window.
1351 /SB HOME - Jump to start of the buffer
1352 /SB END - Jump to end of the buffer
1353 /SB GOTO [[-|+]line#|time] - Jump to specified line or timestamp.
1355 -100 jumps back 100 lines, +100 jumps forward 100 lines, or
1356 100 simply jumps to 100. line in scrollback.
1358 Time is the format [dd.mm | -<days ago>] hh:mi[:ss]
1361 /SB GOTO 15:00 - Jump to first text that came after 15:00 today
1362 /SB GOTO -1 15:00 - First text after 15:00 yesterday
1363 /SB GOTO 1.2 - First text in 1. February
1364 /SB GOTO -100 - Jump back 100 lines
1365 /SB GOTO +100 - Jump for
1367 + After lost connection to server and reconnected or changed the
1368 server manually with /SERVER, Irssi will rejoin back to the same
1369 channels that you were in before disconnection. They will also be
1370 placed to same windows they were, even if you were in same channel
1371 in multiple servers.
1372 + /SERVERS and disconnect dialog displays also servers that are
1373 being currently connected and waiting reconnections. You can remove
1374 them with /DISCONNECT <tag>.
1375 + If you are in multiple irc servers and the active server of the
1376 window isn't the same as where the message came from, the message
1377 is prefixed with a [server tag].
1378 + If you don't specify the path for Perl scripts, Irssi tries to
1379 find them from ~/.irssi/scripts/ or /usr/lib/irssi/scripts/
1380 directories. Irssi will also run automatically scripts in
1381 ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ at startup. Several other updates to
1383 + Support for ircII translation tables, /set translation <file>
1384 See /usr/share/ircII/translation/* (at least in Debian)
1385 + /ACTION <target> <text> - Send action to target (like /ME), target
1386 is either #channel, nick or =dcc_char_nick
1387 + 5 CTRL-C's in a row quits irssi-text.
1388 + %| in themes marks the line indentation position - works only in
1389 irssi-text for now..
1390 + You can have several msgs/status windows, one for each server.
1391 + Option: start GNOME panel applet at startup
1392 + --without-gtk option for configure disables building GTK frontend
1393 + /LAST -new shows only the texts that came after latest /LAST.
1394 - Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
1396 - Several (Perl) compilation problems fixed.
1397 - Text hilight color was dark grey, changed to white..
1398 - /LAST doesn't display the texts found from previous /LAST blocks
1399 - Fixed a few memory leaks
1401 v0.7.27 2000-02-25 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1403 * Perl support - finally! Took only a year or so to imlement it ;)
1404 Well, I could have done it ages ago but it wouldn't have had
1405 all the flexibility it now has - you should be able to do almost
1406 anything with perl scripts. See DOCS/PERL for some documentation
1407 and examples/ directory for a couple of example scripts.
1409 This is the very first version and I haven't even tested that all
1410 functions work correctly! Any suggestions are welcome. I don't
1411 really like the values() functions so if someone knows better ways
1412 to do them I'd really like to hear.
1414 BTW. I haven't had time to learn Perl well yet, so my scripts are
1415 probably not the best examples.. :)
1417 If for some reason you don't wish to use Perl, you can disble it
1418 with giving --disable-perl to configure.
1420 + /CYCLE [#channel] - parts/rejoins the channel
1421 + Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
1423 + Server tag generation is a bit smarter now.
1424 + irssi-text: Resizing terminal works now right even if your curses
1425 don't have resizeterm() function.
1426 - /NAMES crashed when done in a non-channel window
1427 - irssi-text: Resizing terminal when irssi had some empty windows
1429 - toggle_show_nickmode didn't actually do anything :) It was
1432 v0.7.26 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
1434 - Space (and maybe other keys) didn't work when caps/numlock was on.

1444 channel didn't have a topic.
1445 - Irssi automatically changed to auto-created query windows..
1446 - When using /WINDOW CLOSE it didn't change to different window
1447 - Made fontset_load() optional - it broke some fonts..
1448 - Using Ctrl-B (bold) didn't move the cursor
1450 v0.7.24 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> [stable]
1452 + French translation
1453 + Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation translation, now with
1454 the right pot file name :)
1455 + Using fontset_load() instead of font_load(), helps with using
1456 some fonts (by hashao@telebot.com)
1457 + /TS - display topics of all channels you're joined
1458 + Automatically change to the created window
1459 + Option: Show op/voice status in channel messages before nick.
1460 + irssi-text: Displays topic bar op the top of the screen -
1461 /set toggle_show_topicbar = yes|no
1462 + Recognize +a (anonymous) and +r (reop when opless) modes
1463 + Don't allow any setup file changes or log writing if another irssi
1465 + /whois without any arguments gives a whois of yourself
1466 - Irc network list was still corrupted in channel dialog.
1467 - /LIST dialog - users column is now sorted numerically

1469 - Log setup dialog: Clear all button was over Client errors
1471 - /LAST's output displayed some crap in log file.
1472 - irssi-text should work better with other curses libraries than

1475 - Fixed tab completion when completion char was comma
1476 - Couple of configure bugs fixed
1477 - Specifying source host (vhosts) didn't work.
1478 - DCC resume had been broken quite a while
1480 v0.7.23 2000-01-23 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1482 + channel's key (+k key) is displayed in irssi-text's statusbar if it
1484 + Nick hilight detector is a bit smarter now, for example if your
1485 nick happens to be "its", "it's blahblah" doesn't trigger it..
1486 + colorless irssi-text (/set colors = no): activity list is split in
1487 two, Act and Det lists. Det displays list of windows where there's
1488 new messages for you.
1489 - /LAST without any parameters crashed
1490 - if queried nick was changed, GUI didn't notice it.
1491 - config file was invalid in .22
1492 - irssi text widget didn't work in .22
1493 - dcc transfers always displayed 0.00kB/s in .22
1495 v0.7.22 2000-01-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1497 + configure displays a summary of things to compile
1498 + /set colors = yes|no, sets colors on/off in irssi-text
1499 + /window goto active now finds first the window with the higest
1500 activity (msgs to you -> msgs -> rest). Alt-A is also default key
1502 + When connection is lost to server, irssi will remember the channels
1503 in windows. After reconnected, (auto)joining to same channels will
1504 join the channels to the old windows.
1505 + Improved hilighting: You can specify what color to hilight the text
1506 with, to channel field type the (mirc) color number, like
1507 "4 #blah" hilights the text with red in channel #blah, both color
1508 and channel(s) are optional. You can also hilight nicks' colors, to
1509 text field type "NICK:nick!mask", like NICK:nick, or
1510 NICK:*!*@*.blah.fi hilights people from blah.fi domain
1511 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1512 - Some kB/s messages displayed wrong values when resuming DCC
1513 transfers. Also, kB/s is now displayed with two decimals
1514 - "Day changed to 00-10-2000" .. month was wrong. No Y2K bugs
1516 - List of ircnets was displyed wrong in server dialog.
1517 - Userhost replies didn't handle ircops right..
1518 - Doesn't quit when receives SIGHUP - some window managers send it
1519 when restarting itself (Afterstep)
1520 - Specifying "source host IP" didn't work (vhosts).
1521 - Using ctrl-b etc. didn't move the cursor forward..
1522 - Don't try to compile GTK parts of plugins if we don't even want
1524 - Doesn't crash when trying to create DCC dialog after being
1525 disconnected from IRC server
1526 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1527 - Some transparency fixes, it's a lot faster now when moving the
1528 window, but it's still too slow when creating it, not sure why..
1530 v0.7.21 1999-12-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1532 + Irssi-text: Channel activities are displayed with different colors
1534 + Keeps track of "wanted nick", ie. the nick you specified in the
1535 setup or to /server or /nick. When reconnecting to server it always
1536 tries the wanted nick before falling back to alternate nicks.
1537 + IRC Network specific settings: nick, username, realname,
1538 max. kicks/modes/msgs per command.
1539 + Transparency works
1540 + Automatic logging when you're away. Set it on/off from settings/misc
1541 + /connect and /server changes the server in the current window if
1542 the window isn't channel or query.
1543 + Wallop actions are displayed right
1544 + Ctrl-N/P keys change to previous/next window
1545 + Polish translation updated
1546 + /channel next, /channel prev - changes to next/previous channel in

1548 - /WHO could crash irssi
1549 - /join !!channel crashed
1551 v0.7.20.1 1999-11-28 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1553 * I just started #irssi in irc.openprojects.net too.. It's still in
1554 IRCNet too, don't know yet if I'll keep both or drop the other one..
1556 + You can use %n as current nick with aliases
1557 - Closing a window with split windows open crashed
1558 - Channel widgets weren't being updated when joined to channel in
1560 - configure didn't check if we wanted to build MySQL plugin or not,
1561 now it's built only if you give --with-mysql to configure
1562 - Using the whois, ping, etc. buttons in queries crashed
1564 v0.7.20 1999-11-27 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1566 + Polish and finnish translations started
1568 + SQL plugin which doesn't do much, currently supports MySQL only.
1569 Meant to be used by other plugins.
1571 + Botnet to bot plugin - it should already be possible to create a
1572 big bot network with this (each bot having multiple clients +
1573 uplink). The functionality is limited only to BCAST message for
1574 now which sends a message to all bots. Read docs/botnet.txt for my
1577 - If plugins failed in initialization (plugin_init()), irssi could
1579 - Server settings (nick, realname, etc.) were saved to different
1580 place in configuration file than where they were read from..
1581 So, saving them didn't really work.
1582 - Plugin autoloading didn't work
1583 - When trying to show channel's window from panel and you weren't
1584 using helvetica font (itext's internal default), irssi crashed..
1585 - Irssi crashed if you didn't have menubar enabled and didn't
1587 - When invalid theme was found from global directory, irssi
1588 complained about it every time. Now the fixed theme is saved to
1589 ~/.irssi/ directory and used thereafter.
1590 - Deleting ircnets didn't work right
1592 v0.7.19 1999-11-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1594 * Text formats changed - they should be compatible with epic/bx now.
1595 See docs/FORMATS for more information
1597 + Internationalization support - finally. No languages yet though..
1599 + /window new split creates a new splitted window
1600 + Automatic text replaces, useful for things like :9 -> :) .. This
1601 is actually almost same as completions, except they are activated
1602 with different keys..
1603 + Nicklist popup menu is configurable
1604 + ~/.irssi/startup - add all commands here you want to run at startup
1605 + Much more levels for ignoring/logging/etc. See docs/COMMANDS for a
1607 + Ignoring joins, parts, etc. work, ignoring channels work
1608 + Automatically loading plugins at startup works in irssi-text and
1610 + Autoaccept dcc get/chat from given nick/address
1612 + Server/Links dialog, displays list of servers in tree view.
1613 Doubleclicking a hub asks the servers behind the hub (doesn't seem
1615 + /server +irc.server.net does the same as /connect irc.server.net
1616 + Nicklist is resizeable
1617 + Buttons for closing and moving window left/right
1618 + Query windows display nick's address in topic widget and the
1619 address isn't displayed in every msg in query windows.
1620 + It's possible to add bold/colors/etc to default quit message
1621 + MIRC colors are finally displayed with right colors
1622 + You can run multiple command in alias, separate them with &&.
1623 You can create a & character with \&
1624 + Hilighting changes: Your own /msgs won't trigger channel activity,
1625 received private messages get the "new text" color
1626 + /MODE accepts multiple modes at once and they're split automatically
1627 to 3 modes/command, like /MODE #chan +oooooo nick1,nick2,.. is
1628 split to two commands which are sent to server.
1629 + /KICK, /MSG, /NOTICE, /CTCP and /NCTCP are also automatically split
1630 into multiple real commands. /KICK can kick max. 4 nicks per
1631 command, privmsg/notice can send max. 3 nicks per command.
1632 + Option: Show timestamps in msgs.
1633 - Joining to channel from channels dialog that had password set
1635 - When scrolling, Irssi text widget sometimes left black spots in
1636 text area if some other window was overlaping it.
1637 - DCC resumes still didn't work
1638 - Fixed some memory leaks
1640 v0.7.18.1 1999-11-04 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1642 - Window didn't scroll if you were using GtkText
1643 - Resuming DCC transfers could mess up the existing transfers with
1645 - Some PONGs were displayed on screen if you were enough lagged..
1646 - --help works now without gnome (gtk/text versions)
1647 - Sending data to irc server/dcc chats/proxy's clients/etc. won't
1648 block forever anymore - I once got it to happen with proxy..
1649 - Some fixes for channel limit/key widgets above nicklist
1650 - Speech plugin works now right with timestamps enabled
1651 - irssibot (gui-none) doesn't crash at startup anymore and it doesn't
1652 link with ui-common anymore. Also added a --load / -l command line
1653 option to specify what plugin to load at startup. Default = bot
1655 v0.7.18 1999-10-18 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1657 * Finally a version I dare to call stable :) Just a bugfix release
1658 for 0.7.17 but it had only a few problems..
1660 * Status window is now off by default
1662 - Sound and speech plugins weren't working.
1663 - Proxy plugin shouldn't crash now while not connected to server
1664 - Using some menuitems crashed when using the popup menus instead of
1666 - Removed a Gdk-Critical warning when opening themes dialog without
1668 - When resuming DCC transfers the average transfer rate was incorrect
1669 - If you tried to connect to server while themes dialog was open,
1671 - Several problems fixed with changing background pixmaps
1672 - Fixes for building from different directory
1673 - Trying to save theme crashed..
1675 v0.7.17 1999-10-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1677 + Irssi text widget! (replaces zvt)
1678 - supports proportional fonts
1680 - background pixmaps (scaled, tiled, scrollable, shaded)
1682 + Proxy plugin - Unlike other irc proxies, this is more than just a
1683 simple proxy. You can connect to it from multiple clients at the
1684 same time, but each client will use the _same_ irc session, so you
1685 can keep one irc client open all the time in your home, one at
1686 work, one at wc, etc. All the clients get the same "normal"
1687 messages from server, but if you request a /whois or /who or some
1688 other commands, the reply will be sent to only the client that
1689 requested it. Check README how to use it.
1691 + Irssi is now much faster catching up things after joined to
1692 channel, it asks channels' MODE and WHO first, all with the same
1693 command (WHO #a,#b,#c), after them it asks the ban lists etc. less
1695 + Workaround for GTK themes eating X server's memory
1696 + Command line arguments:
1697 -c server [-p port] : connects to server at startup
1698 -! : don't autoconnect to any servers
1699 -n : specify nick to use (override setup)
1700 + Server lag displayed in statusbar, you can also set irssi to
1701 automatically disconnect from server if it is too lagged
1702 + Channel limit and key is displayed above nicklist
1703 + Number of ops and total number of nicks in channel is displayed
1704 + Nicklist background color can be changed
1705 + Each window can have it's own command history buffer
1706 + Try to let the server disconnect the socket (5 sec timeout) to make
1707 sure that quit message gets through.
1708 + Improved /gwhois dialog
1709 + Setup dialogs are resizeable
1710 + You can specify what port to use with DCC.
1711 - Channel dialog fixes: after editing channel, it was moved to the
1712 end of the list, opening multiple channels edit dialogs didn't
1714 - Reconnecting to server didn't work (always)
1715 - Giving multiple nicks for /gwhois messed up irssi
1717 v0.7.16 1999-09-13 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1719 + Started bot plugin, it has simple user management functions and
1720 auto-opping/voicing done (but it does it well :)
1721 + "channel synced" text doesn't trigger channel activity anymore
1722 + Rawlog displays where event was redirected
1723 + /wjoin - you can join multiple channels in same window
1724 + /window goto #channel - moves you to window with the
1725 channel, query or dcc chat
1726 + /window goto active - moves you to first window with activity
1727 + /list and /names complains if they're run without any arguments,
1729 + Giving -nogui parameter to /list and /who commands doesn't use the
1731 + All the dialogs that have clist widget: you can resize columns and
1732 sort the list by clicking the headers
1733 + /list and /who dialogs displays total number of items and the list
1735 + Autojoining to channels work with irssi-text too
1736 + /gwhois dialog has now refresh button, /gwhois is used when clicking
1737 whois from nicklist popup menu
1738 - Restoring saved window size didn't work very accurately, restoring
1739 position also had some problems..
1740 - Rawlog doesn't crash anymore if not connected to server
1741 - Notifylist and checking of who uses your nick uses WHOIS again,
1742 WHO didn't display user info unless s/he was -i or in same
1744 - You had to run /list a couple of times until it worked..
1745 - WHO was sent to people who joined channel to find out who they
1746 were, unfortunately it had a small bug and didn't work..
1747 - DCC didn't work with IPv6
1749 v0.7.15-3 1999-08-31 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1751 * _TOO_ many bugs in .15, mostly compilation problems, I really
1752 should test things better when I release them. This will be the
1753 last time, I swear :)
1755 + Rawlog window, /rawlog <file name> also saves it.
1756 + --without-imlib configure switch
1757 - After opened themes dialog, "(none)" window appeared, after opening
1759 - "day changed" message was displayed at startup
1760 - Addresses in DCC connections were displayed wrong
1761 - Didn't compile without gnome
1762 - The first .15 didn't compile without IPv6 support, -2 fixed it
1764 v0.7.15 1999-08-29 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1766 * Only week since last version, much better :) Lots of internal
1767 changes, hope they work right. No "weird crashes" found since last
1768 version, 0.8.0 can't be too far away :)
1770 CVS is also working again, no anonymous but I can give access if
1773 + IPv6 support - yet another thing irssi is one of the first to
1774 support ;) Give --enable-ipv6 switch to configure to compile it.
1775 Because of IPv6 addresses naming style (xxx:xxx:xxx..), /server
1776 server:port doesn't work anymore, you have to use /server
1777 server port instead.
1779 + Sound plugin updates, should work much better
1780 + Default config file is build into irssi, it's used if no other
1781 configuration file is found
1782 + Implemented "idle queue", list of commands which should be sent to
1783 server when there's nothing else to send.. Changed CTCPs to use
1785 + "massjoin" signal is sent when people join to channel, if many
1786 people join to channel quickly (netjoins), it waits for a while
1787 before everyone are joined and then sends the signal. This is used
1788 to update nicklist more quickly and some other internal stuff.
1789 + /msg <tab> completion: after you send msg to someone, the nick will
1790 go first in completion list.
1791 + Giving --with-servertest to configure now builds test irc server
1792 which you can use to try crash irc clients :)
1793 + /sv displays system name and revision and irssi's website url
1794 + You can give server password to /server as /server server port pass
1795 + /unban completion, eg. /unban *!*@*.de unbans *!*@hu232hu2.blah.de
1796 + /rmreconns removes all servers from reconnect list. I hate it when
1797 some server is down and irssi tries to reconnect it every 5 minutes
1798 and there was no way to cancel it..
1799 + Displays day change message in all windows if you're using
1801 + Realname is displayed in statusbar when mouse is moved over nick
1803 + /last displays the last buffer only from the current window
1804 + option: beep when you receive private message
1805 + Typing /dcc without any arguments is same as /dcc list
1806 + Some code rearranging, moved more code to ui-common from gui-xxx
1807 + IPv6 for /ban, it bans all the last 64k addresses .. not sure if
1808 it's THAT good idea but did it anyway.
1809 - DCC resume was broken.
1810 - If someone quit from one ircnet but stayed on another, the nick was
1811 removed from both ircnets' channels.
1812 - Irssi tried to find it's default config from
1813 $prefix/etc/irssi/irssi/config (one irssi too much :)
1814 - You couldn't use ~/ when saving window buffer
1815 - Trying to save window buffer twice crashed irssi
1816 - ZVT transparency couldn't be removed on the fly
1817 - Using find/new/close buttons in toolbar crashed
1818 - Doesn't complain anymore about "You're not channel operator" with
1819 some irc networks that don't understand e or I modes
1820 - /ban removed ident-character from username (~blah@ -> blah@) so bans
1822 - /knockout calculated the time left wrongly.
1823 - irssi added -I/usr/include to compile parameters which broke
1824 compiling with several platforms..
1825 - Irssibot notified about new development version when there was none
1826 - Some problems/crashes fixed with plugin support
1827 - --without-socks didn't do anything..
1828 - Password should first be sent to server first, not after nick/user.
1829 At least MUH (irc proxy) didn't like it.
1831 v0.7.14 1999-08-22 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1833 !!! My E-mail changed to cras@irccrew.org, don't use the old one
1836 * Hm.. Again a month since last version, 3 weeks should be max :)
1837 Hopefully this one will be bugfree, so I could finally release a
1838 "stable" version.. (somehow I think I'll end up with 0.7.14-2
1841 * Irssi uses now libPropList to read and save configuration file, so
1842 you need to have libPropList installed, it's also in different
1843 format so your old config file doesn't work anymore.
1845 Configuration file is located now in ~/.irssi/config file.
1846 Themes are also now stored in separate files in ~/.irssi/*.theme
1848 + Irssi can now notify you about new versions, you can also directly
1849 download them with DCC. (This will probably be changed to HTTP
1850 instead of using irssibot in IRC..)
1852 + User interface changes (settings, menus) as suggested by
1853 James M. Cape <jcape@jcinteractive.com>
1854 + You can use ctrl-b,c,g,v,- when setting realname
1855 + /version [server] - prints irssi version and irc server's version
1856 + /ver [nick/channel] - sends ctcp version to nick/channel
1857 + /sv [nick/channel] - sends irssi version text to nick/channel
1858 + Added widget depends to several places, changed several modal
1859 dialogs to use gui_widget_depends() instead
1860 + Added Socks5 initialization, maybe it works now?
1861 + You can specify what host address you want to use if you have many..
1862 + Away and kick reason dialog have history
1863 + irssi-text option: activity list can be sorted by window number
1864 You can change this with /set toggle_actlist_moves=yes/no
1865 + /msg <text><tab> completes now people in current channel too
1866 + You can set channel password in channel dialog
1867 + /SET [key [=value / [key [key..]] - /SET displays all settings,
1868 /set key key2 displays values of key and key2, /set key=value sets
1870 + DCC GET now gets all the files coming from user if file name isn't
1871 specified. DCC CLOSE also can close all dcc connections from user.
1872 + The whole usermode is now displayed in statusbar, it used to display
1873 only the modes it knew (+iwsr)
1874 + Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P go to next/previous window
1875 - When using zvt and joining to new channels, window size grew bigger
1876 - /msg <tab> completion was a bit buggy, if someone sent you multiple
1877 messages, you had to press tab multiple times until the nick changed
1879 - Defaut format for signon time in whois displayed nick instead of
1881 - Disconnecting server while it was still trying to connect hung irssi
1882 - If old configuration file wasn't found, irssi (could have?) crashed
1883 on startup .. Could this really happen?!? Why did nobody tell me??
1884 - irssi-text finally handles screen resizing right
1885 - Gnome panel applet works with "old" (like non-cvs now :) panels
1887 - If you left from channel before syncing was done, syncing stopped
1889 - Removing ban exceptions didn't update irssi's internal list
1890 - Rejecting dcc chat didn't work properly, when receiving reject
1891 get/send irssi didn't remove it from dcc lists
1892 - Save/find dialogs weren't working after being closed.
1893 - irssi-text complained about "Not enough parameters given" when
1894 pressing entry in empty line
1895 - Mirc colors weren't removed properly for logs and could have
1897 - Using /ban with mask (x!x@x) instead of nick crashed
1898 - gui_widget_depends() wasn't working properly - didn't harm much :)
1900 v0.7.13-2 1999-07-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1902 * Again, a small bugfix release
1904 + You can specify what string to send to IRC proxy after connected,
1905 this lets at least some proxies work with irssi.
1906 + Notifylist now displays which irc network nick joined/left (or if
1908 - After closing some window, the numbers in window tabs didn't get
1910 - /window next and prev didn't work properly
1911 - status/msgs windows got destroyed a while after joining to channel..
1912 or simply by doing "/mode (status)" command ..
1913 - We don't try to DCC SEND file via dcc chat if the other side is
1915 - Default setting or autodetection of mirc ctcps weren't working.
1916 - Actions from mirc users in dcc chat was displayed in double.
1918 v0.7.13 1999-07-21 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1920 * %p in text formats is changed to $, looks much cleaner :) Old
1921 formats in configuration files are automatically converted.
1923 * I got some documentation done! :) I wrote a list of all commands
1924 irssi knows with (very) short descriptions, see COMMANDS file
1926 + Hebrew support by Ronen Tzur <rtzur@shani.net> - see README-HEBREW
1927 + Users with gone-flag are displayed with different color in nicklist
1928 List is updated with USERHOST commands in small pieces every now and
1930 + Statusbar with some information in it ..
1931 + Away message is displayed differently in /whois and /msged people
1933 + /window goto <n>, /window prev, /window next
1934 + /window level [+/-]pub/msgs/...
1935 /window level msgs - creates messages window
1936 /window level all -msgs - creates status window
1937 + /bantype <normal/host/domain/custom>
1938 - Normal - *!user@*.domain.net
1939 - Host - *!*@host.domain.net
1940 - Domain - *!*@*.domain.net
1941 - Custom [nick] [user] [host] [domain]
1942 eg. /bantype custom nick domain - nick!*@*.domain.net
1943 eg. /bantype custom user host - *!user@host.domain.net
1944 + /version - just displays version number..
1945 + You can use different font in each channel
1946 + Alt-q..o changes channels to 11..19
1947 + Color configuration changes..
1948 + irssi-text : Reading manuals help ;) Text's backgound color isn't
1949 changed to black anymore so pixmaps etc. should show up nicely :)
1950 + /notify nick!mask@* [ircnets], /unnotify
1951 + When trying to connect to server, you can abort it with the
1952 cancel button in statusbar
1953 + First parameter of /disconnect is now * (current server) or
1955 + You can now use !channels with their short names (not always)
1956 + Right clicking nick in channel pops up nicklist menu
1957 + You can select multiple nicks from nicklist and execute the command
1959 + Panel applet supports panel size changes
1960 + Window tabs have numbers now
1961 + Ctrl-N changes to next window, Ctrl-P changes to previous window
1962 - Max. autoget size didn't work right, it got the file if the file was
1963 bigger than the max. size.. and it was compared as bytes, not kB's.
1964 - Panel applet should now work right
1965 - Hilight words feature was completely broken
1966 - DCC Chats were displayed twice in status dialog
1967 - Closing DCC chat still had a few problems
1968 - After trying to join to channel where you could get in (invite only,
1969 banned, etc.) the created channel window wasn't destroyed.
1970 - configure didn't check -lnsl right..
1971 - Channel settings weren't read in the correct order -> autojoining
1972 to channels created the windows in reverse order every time.
1973 - ZVT in GNOME CVS broke irssi.. Fixed.
1974 - Quit message wasn't displayed if there was some commands waiting
1975 for transmit - quit was added to transmit queue and connection
1977 - Matching irc masks (nick!host@address) was case-sensitive..
1979 v0.7.12 1999-07-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1981 * #irssi is now started in IRCnet
1983 * Release #2 :) The next day..
1984 + configure checks for -lnsl too
1985 + changed default font to fixed size so I wouldn't have to hear all
1986 the time how screen is messed up with zvt :)
1987 - background color couldn't be changed with zvt
1988 - irssi-text sometimes crashed at startup because of uninitialized
1990 - you had to use --without-gnome-panel even if you didn't build
1993 + Colorless theme, should be easy to start a new theme with using
1994 this. You need to copy the [theme:colorless] section to
1995 ~/.irssi.conf (or ~/.gnome/irssi whatever you happen to use..) from
1996 included irssi.conf to use this..
1997 + You can DCC send and get files via DCC chat (don't need to be
1998 connected to server), don't know if this works with any other client
1999 or if any other client has this ability.. BitchX didn't seem to
2001 + /WALL [#channel] message - Send notice to all ops in channel
2002 + /last [-pub -msgs etc..] <text> for text mode version
2003 + Text mode version statusbar: -- more --, away (zZzZ)
2004 + The "-!-" and "-!- Irssi:" texts and timestamp is now configurable
2005 + Channel windows aren't destroyed anymore after getting disconnected
2007 + Outgoing flood protection: all commands you send to server are are
2008 queued and sent every 2 seconds. (if queue is empty, the command is
2010 + Notify list popup dialogs are now optional
2011 + /unalias (you could already do this with /alias)
2012 + You can send Mirc style CTCPs now in DCC chat (preferences/dcc),
2013 also if mirc user first sends ctcp, it's automatically set to
2014 default for that dcc chat session.. You can also set it with
2015 /mircdcc [y|n] or select from menu.
2016 + Default color number in setup, this color is used if nothing else
2018 + Server reconnection - you can add several irc servers to setup with
2019 same ircnet and autoconnect set and irssi goes through that list
2020 every time server gets disconnected unintentionally.
2021 + irssi-text word splits the lines. also if it needs to split the line
2022 it leaves 10 empty spaces at the start of the next line.
2023 + --without-gnome-panel switch to configure
2024 - http://blah@a.b opened e-mail client instead of http client
2025 - I set the socket non-blocking AFTER connect(), argh! This caused
2026 irssi to hang when trying to dcc get from bogus IPs or something.
2027 - Background color wasn't read right
2028 - Log dialog had some bugs
2029 - Banning ip addresses didn't work right
2030 - Some DCC problems fixed..
2031 - Some irssi-text bugs fixed
2033 v0.7.11 1999-06-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2035 * Because of the color system changes, remove the [colors]
2036 section from irssi's configuration file or you will get some weird
2039 The colors are pretty much taken from BitchX, IMO it looks nice :)
2040 But somehow I think many of you don't like it, so I made theme
2041 selector. Just need to make a few default themes..
2043 + Color system changed, the old one looked pretty ugly especially in
2044 text mode version.. You can now have more than one color/line by
2045 adding %fg[,bg] codes to text formats.. fg and bg are the normal
2046 0-15 colors, in GUI version (without ZVT) you can use up to 99
2047 user specified colors.
2049 + Text mode version: Entry line editing is working great! Command line
2050 history works, scrollback buffer works, statusbar is working (again,
2051 copying bitchx..), reads configuration file .. This is starting to
2053 + ZVT working better: font can be changed, transparency and background
2054 pixmap can be changed on the fly, the ugly block cursor isn't
2055 displayed anymore and wordclicking (urls, etc.) works.
2056 + New GUI dialogs for /list, /who, /gwhois and when receiving invites
2058 + Channels dialog changed a bit. New "Quick join" dialog where you can
2059 specify server and channel to join
2060 + Mirc DCC resumes are working. By Trever Adams
2061 (trever_adams@bigfoot.com)
2062 + List of text strings to hilight
2063 + Notify dialog is created when someone in notify list joins irc.
2064 + Nick completion improvements, /msg nick<tab> works and in channels
2065 you can complete nicks anywhere in the entry.
2066 + Window save size/position dialog
2067 + DCC send added to popup menus
2068 + Removing lines from GtkText is really slow, so now they're removed
2069 with several lines at a time. (default is 20)
2070 + /window new [hidden] creates new window, /window server <server tag>
2071 changes server in current channel, useful in text mode version..
2072 + You can try to find memory leaks with giving --with-memdebug switch
2074 - Still some bugs with DCC SEND fixed..
2075 - DCC list dialog crashed if there were dcc chats open, it also caused
2076 some random crashes when running..
2077 - Maybe window size/position saving finally works right?
2078 - g_(s)list_remove_link() didn't work as I had always thought .. It
2079 moves the link into separate list and doesn't free memory used by
2080 it like I thought.. So, inserted a few g_list_free_1() calls.
2081 - When not using menubars, popup menu should have displayed all the
2082 items in it, it got broken in .10.
2083 - signal_add_after() didn't work right.. actually it had a wrong name
2084 too, changed to signal_add_first() and made it to run these events
2085 before the normal events. This makes ignoring work again.
2087 - Configuration file handling (GTK version) was still a bit buggy..
2088 - Lots of small bug fixes here and there..
2090 v0.7.10 1999-05-09 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2092 * ALL KNOWN CRASHES FIXED !! Weird, after changing the code with
2093 creating channels to empty windows, GtkText widget started working
2094 again, it used to crash after running the test ircserver for a
2095 while.. Maybe a few more versions and I'll release a "stable"
2096 labeled version again (08.0).
2098 + GNOME version can use ZVT widget to draw texts. This is a lot faster
2099 than GtkText and with it you can use nice non-scrolling backgrounds
2100 and transparency! However, you'll have to use the default colors
2101 with it for now and Window/Save Buffer or Find doesn't work in it.
2102 !!NOTE!! ZVT in gnome 1.0.9 is buggy, it sometimes crashes when
2103 destroying zvt widget (leaving channels). It should be fixed in next
2104 version (which doesn't currently exist..)
2105 + DCC transfer dialog, display list of all going dcc transfers, the
2106 old dialogs can also be created.
2107 + Channel specific background pixmaps, if you don't have Imlib you can
2108 use only .xpm images.
2109 + /ban and /unban changed, they accept multiple arguments and channel
2110 name may be specified as the first argument
2111 + dcc actions from mirc should work now
2112 - Text widget size is now saved instead of the window's size, should
2114 - Right clicking text widget created a popup menu, but select
2115 selection got broken after it
2116 - Some potential bugs fixed after got kicked from channel
2117 - Log dialog was buggy
2118 - If dcc chat was closed but the query window was still there, trying
2119 to chat again with the same nick created another query window but
2121 - C-C, C-B, etc. add the character at the end of the entry, not at the
2123 - Redirecting commands was a bit buggy, it always expected to receive
2124 the specified events. This worked with ISON command, but I forgot
2125 that WHOIS could also return "no such nick" events.. So, notifylist
2126 should now work right instead of sometimes printing whois results.
2127 - You couldn't use the normal control-? keys (c-left, c-right,
2129 - mirc colors were displayed with wrong colors
2130 - Changed all isspace(), isdigit() and isalnum() calls to cast their
2131 argument as (gint) to remove warnings when compiling with IRIX.
2132 - Speech plugin wasn't working again..
2133 - After changing text format from setup, you couldn't change any
2134 other lines without closing setup dialog first
2135 - Font couldn't be changed by editing the entry line
2136 - /knockout format changed, it's now /knockout [timeout] nick reason
2137 (so the reason can have number at the start of it..), it also used
2138 to crash when unbanning
2139 - DCC send fixed, fast send didn't work and without it it was eating
2141 - DCC sending files with spaces in their name didn't work (they're
2144 v0.7.9 1999-04-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2146 + Server/status dialog, displays list of all connected servers,
2147 channels, queries and dcc chats.
2148 + Host resolving is now done in a child processes. Hopefully works
2149 better than threads which aren't used anywhere anymore..
2150 + Window/Save window size and Save window position, next time the same
2151 window (status, msgs, channel, query) is opened the saved size
2152 and/or position will be used.
2153 + gui_widget_depends_data(), widget will be automatically destroyed
2154 if the specified signal is called with the specified argument. Used
2155 to destroy DCC request dialogs when they're closed manually, timed
2156 out or rejected at the other end..
2157 - Fixed lots of memory leaks which some might have caused crashes..
2158 src/memdebug.c has the debug functions I used ..
2159 - DCC CLOSE closed always the last dcc connection instead of the one
2160 that matched the parameters
2161 - Commented out all GUI_INPUT_EXCEPTIONs .. I don't even know when
2162 exceptions are sent and why (I thought that only when some error
2163 occured..), Linux doesn't seem to send them ever? IRIX however sends
2164 them all the time which made irssi eating all cpu.
2165 - Fixed compiling gui-text with systems that had only slang/slang.h
2166 - gui_widget_depends() had some bugs
2167 - adding irc networks by typing it's name when adding server didn't
2168 update the GUI of ircnets list.
2169 - If some plugins were already loaded, and loading new plugin failed
2170 and it called plugin_deinit(), the call (might have) called some
2171 other plugin's plugin_deinit() and crash.. Some updated to change
2172 all global plugin functions to plugin_name_* calls so they wouldn't
2173 call other modules functions..
2174 - If day changed when logging, the log file contained the day change
2175 lines before each line after that..
2176 - Channel labels were hilighted even when the channel was selected..
2178 v0.7.8 1999-04-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2180 * This version has lots of internal changes, I haven't tried them
2181 much so hopefully everything works right..
2183 + external plugin, reads commands from named pipe and executes them
2184 + sample plugin updated, creating new plugins should when based on
2186 + gui-none is built, it tries to run bot plugin which doesn't exist..
2187 + Moved the configuration code to the lowest level, made settings
2188 to be common with all guis.
2189 + /set command: /set [category[/key[=value]]] [all]
2190 + /alias, /ignore and /unignore commands work again
2191 + Nick completion finally working, and better than ever (unless it
2192 has bugs of course ;). It tries to be smart when completing, first
2193 it checks if someone with same letters had recently written message
2194 to you, then it checks for nicks that recently wrote messages and
2195 finally for the rest of the nicks in channel. Clicking tab more
2196 scans the list. Clicking tab in empty line completes to /msg <nick
2197 who sent you last message>. Before trying to complete nicks, tab
2198 completion checks if the word is in setup's completion list.
2199 + Wrote some functions to make possible handling events in different
2200 places depending where the command which created the event was sent.
2201 This is useful for example to notify list which needs to send ISON
2202 requests but user should still be able to use /ison command
2203 normally (this has always worked btw).
2204 + Notify list's notify event now displays user's host and real name
2205 (made with the previous functions which grabbed WHOIS). Notify list
2206 GUI also updated for this
2207 + You can use user/host masks with notify lists, wildcards are
2208 allowed. Nick must always be specified (could be fixed but everyone
2209 is invisible anyway so it would be useless). Examples:
2210 friend!*friend*@*, friend_!*friend*@*,
2211 another!*@*.blah.com, altnick!*@*.blah.com
2212 + "your nick is owned by blah (blah@blah.org)" when connected
2213 + Text formats page uses now GtkText widget, it displays colors too.
2214 It's not perfect but better than before...
2215 + There's now three different colors indicating what's happened in
2216 channel: red = some text was written there, bright red = public
2217 message, magenta = public message to you
2218 + Ignore checking is now done by stopping the entire signal so
2219 plugins etc. don't have to deal with them.
2220 + You can use user/host masks with ignores
2221 + Autoraise (in window menu) window when new message comes to channel
2222 + Channel settings: You can specify list of bots (masks) and command
2223 to send the first one found bot (nice for auto-opping ourself)
2224 - Changing user modes from menus didn't work. Moved the menu under
2226 - Speech plugin problems fixed.. It didn't compile without gnome
2227 libraries and with gnome libraries it didn't say anything because
2228 for some reason one line in sources was commented out..
2229 - IRC network things and server password didn't work because of stupid
2231 - Configuration file handling was a bit broken in GTK version
2232 - Rewrote menu handling in GTK version, it was crashing when trying
2235 v0.7.7 1999-04-05 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2237 + speech plugin :) This is currently made to work with festival
2238 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/), it's not very usable
2239 but nice to play with :)
2240 + C-b (bold), C-c (color), C-g (bell), C-v (reverse), C-- (underline)
2241 keys work now but they don't display anything in entry line.
2242 + Beel character beeps are now optional
2243 + Fixes and new features for plugins. Each plugin has now it's own
2244 menu under plugin menu and "Unload" menuitem there by default.
2245 - GTK version didn't build .. again..
2246 - I broke DCC send in 0.7.5
2247 - SIGPIPE is ignored, maybe fixes some "crashes" when server
2248 connection is lost (I never got this btw.)
2249 - Using irssi with click to focus sent commands to window where mouse
2251 - Fixed some bugs when scrollback buffer got full (GTK's text widget
2252 seems to crash sometimes with small scrollback buffer and _lots_ of
2254 - Plugin dialog didn't show any plugins
2255 - Plugins are now created with automake things to make them portable
2256 for compilers/linkers that don't work with -shared switch. The
2257 disadvantage is that a lot of unnecessary files are created for
2258 each plugin (.a, .la, .so.0, .so.0.0, .so.0.0.0) while irssi uses
2259 only libplugin.so, could be fixed somehow but too difficult for me..
2260 - Joining to +k channel crashed
2262 v0.7.6 1999-03-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2264 * New default colors .. I think they're better, not the best possible
2265 but anyway, I'm not good with these :)
2266 + Text mode version working again with colors! :)
2267 + New settings/servers dialog, changed connect and channels dialogs.
2268 You can now automatically connect to multiple servers at startup.
2269 All this made by Kari Lavikka (tuner@bdb.fi)
2270 + Server password support
2272 + Right clicking the channel name in panel pops up channel menu
2273 + private ctcp and notice messages now show up in query windows if
2274 it exists for sender
2275 - Fixed logging a bit, you can now log stuff from nicks without
2276 having query window for them.
2277 - If time stamps were enabled, log files had time stamps twice in each
2279 - Color settings had some bugs
2280 - GNOME version crashed if ~/.irssi.conf didn't exist .. because I
2281 read the configuration file before gnome_init() which was necessary
2282 for "create gnome panel applet" option in setup -> removed it
2284 v0.7.5 1999-03-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2286 * Text mode version is broken and isn't built.
2287 * Configuration file has changed quite a lot, might be better if you
2288 would just erase the old one.. Server configuration is also going
2291 + Plugins are back! But unfortunately I can't get perl plugin to work.
2292 See TODO for more information.
2293 + I divided setup dialogs to separate windows and grouped the options
2294 to different frames so they actually make some sense now :) Also
2296 - Create GNOME panel applet
2297 - Lots of DCC options, the page looked so lonely that I had
2298 to put more options there :)
2299 - get: autorename file if it exists (currently this is
2301 - autoget: max. file size to get
2302 - fast send (don't wait for responses from the other
2303 side, just keep sending the data..)
2307 + Checks for slang/slang.h too ..
2308 + Text mode version doesn't have my name/nick hardcoded in it
2309 anymore :) Uses IRCNAME and IRCNICK environment variables.
2310 + Status window is now optional, when enabled it grabs all
2311 "status" messages there. This needed quite a lot of inner changes,
2313 + /nctcp - send ctcp reply
2314 + Window size is now saved when quitting and it's used when creating
2315 windows in next session
2316 - Fixed lots of GLib-CRITICAL messages when disconnected from server
2317 while it was still trying to find ip address.
2318 - Window/find should now scroll to right position and it doesn't
2319 corrupt the text widget with inserting new texts to found texts
2320 positions.. It's also case-insensitive now.
2321 - Fixed compile error when building without gnome panel..
2323 v0.7.4 1999-03-13 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2325 + Applet for GNOME panel working again
2326 + You don't have to specify --without-gnome anymore, configure checks
2327 this for you (finally)
2328 + Some widget packing changes and tooltips for channel mode buttons
2329 by Kari Lavikka <tuner@bdb.fi>
2330 + Window/find moves the scrollbar to position where you can
2331 actually see the found text (usually, find prev misses it
2333 - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog still wasn't working.
2334 - Channel mode buttons didn't change if channel wasn't focused
2335 - I added separators to menus in v0.7.3, but forgot to make GTK
2336 version work with them
2337 - Closing DCC chat crashed
2338 - Destroying window with WM now really destroys the window, no hide
2339 it like it used to..
2340 - Several fixes with window handling..
2342 v0.7.3 1999-03-11 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2344 * Text mode version is not called irssi-text so make install can
2345 install both of them without overwriting the other..
2346 + Window menu: find text, save window buffer, close window, new,
2347 new tabbed .. And lots of fixing code to make empty windows
2349 + After kicked from channel, the window isn't destroyed
2350 - While connecting to server and receiving "nick is temporarily
2351 unavailable" irssi didn't try different nick but got just stuck
2354 v0.7.2 1999-03-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2356 + GUI for logging, /log start, /log stop
2357 + You can drag file from GMC over to nick in nicklist to send the file
2359 + Nicklist changed to GtkCList, ops and voices are marked with
2360 pixmaps (stolen from X-Chat, someone want to do better ones?). Had
2361 to be done because adding drag'n'drop to GtkList was too slow..
2362 - Pretty bad bugs with GTK version fixed, using several dialogs'
2364 - WHOIS's idle line displayed seconds wrong. Maybe I finally got it
2365 fixed right this time.. :)
2366 - Unknown commands still didn't work. They were sent to server with
2367 the / character at start..
2369 v0.7.1 1999-03-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2371 * The 0.7.0 was actually quite stable, I thought it would crash all
2372 the time by itself and do some weird things :)
2373 * Hopefully now that GTK 1.2 is finished more people start using it
2374 and don't ask me to continue supporting GTK 1.0. So, this version
2375 requires GTK 1.1/1.2.
2377 + Started gui-text.. Should work somehow :) Prefers SLang but should
2378 work with curses also, except in X terminals I couldn't get colors
2380 + Logging, still lacks GUI.
2383 /log create <filename> [<+/->level ...] [#channel/nick [
2384 [<+/->level ...] ...]
2385 /log close <filename>
2388 Example: /log create mylog -all +msgs #linux +chan +public +notices
2389 (or simply #linux +all logs everything that appears in #linux
2392 You can use these levels, ALL is set by default:
2393 ALL, CRAP, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS, SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC,
2394 CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
2395 + Automatically create query window when received msg (option)
2396 + No more "WHO: unknown commmand"s, all unknown commands are sent to
2397 server just like they were written
2398 + Working again: msgs window, aliases, /kickban, /knockout
2399 + Changed quite a lot of GString's to g_strdup_printf
2400 + cleaned configure.in
2401 - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog didn't work.
2402 - Writing to DCC chat only sent the first word..
2403 - setting ircnet to server record was done without strdup()ing from
2404 setup server record, so after disconnecting preferences or
2405 reconnecting could have crashed.
2407 v0.7.0 1999-02-25 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2409 * Lots and lots and LOTS of rewriting code. Hope you like it :) At
2410 least I do, mostly. GUI still needs rewriting but.. well, it works
2413 The [unstable] tag in this version really means that IT IS UNSTABLE.
2414 See TODO for what features that 0.6.0 have are still missing.
2416 Because of the new great signaling system :) lots of things can be
2417 done easier. Now all the dialogs should be up to date, like channel
2418 mode dialog. When you receive ops, widgets come sensitive, when you
2419 lose your ops, the widgets become unsensitive.
2421 irssi source is now also divided in to separate directories:
2423 irc-base: this shouldn't change much, it has all basic functionality
2424 needed to create a working IRC client.
2426 irc-extra: all kinds of extra functionality: dcc, flood detection,
2427 ignore lists, (logging soon), notify lists and plugins.
2429 common-ui: here's all the functions that need to print some texts to
2432 gui-gnome: GTK/GNOME specific code
2434 These haven't been started yet:
2435 ui-none: make irssi work as a bot with plugins/scripts
2436 ui-text: text mode interface
2437 gui-kde, ...: I'm not going to do these, anyone?
2439 v0.6.0 1999-02-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2441 + Plugins! See plugins/* and src/plugin-commands.h for more
2443 + Small PERL plugin, anyone want to continue developing this?
2444 + Show menubar option
2445 - Some fixes and changes with clicking words.
2446 - Notify list didn't work if ircnet was specified.
2447 - socks5 needed -DSOCKS to work (but this is still untested..)
2449 v0.5.1 1999-02-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2451 * A big bugfix release, hopefully no crashes anymore? :)
2452 * Removed intl directory, we don't have any i18n support yet so it's
2456 + Use --with-pthreads=no if they don't work right
2457 + socks4/5 support (untested), use --with-socks=no if you don't want
2459 - If you got kicked from channel irssi was in quite unstable state
2460 - Using channel mode buttons in the upper right corner crashed
2461 - Whois displayed idle time wrong
2462 - Adding first item to empty list (notify, completions, aliases,
2464 - It didn't actually compile without pthreads lib..
2465 - If any texts contained %s, %d, etc.. irssi tried to expand them
2466 - Solaris (and probably some others) need -D_REENTRANT flag to make
2467 threads work corretly.
2468 - gtk_container_add() should be used instead of
2469 gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() when handling clists..
2471 v0.5.0 1999-02-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2473 + DCC CHAT, SEND, GET
2474 + pthread support, no more blocking server connections.
2476 + Getting more paranoid :) Added a lot of g_return_if_fail()s.
2477 Hopefully not in wrong places :) But these surely save some crashes
2479 + BUILD_DOCK, HAVE_GNOME, etc. defines are now placed in config.h
2480 instead of being in -D arguments for gcc.
2481 + Format strings are more flexible now, you can change the order of
2482 the parameters and you don't need to specify if the argument is
2483 supposed to be string or integer or .. Should be easy to use, %p1
2484 matches the first argument, %p2 the seconds, etc.
2486 - Changing topic from topic entry widget didn't work.
2487 - If window had only one channel, the channel widgets (topic, modes,
2488 etc) didn't show up.
2489 - Using popup menu from status window's channel lists crashed.
2490 - Channel menu didn't work
2492 v0.4.1 1999-02-04 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2494 + Preferences: completion - if you type <tag> in entry field and
2495 press tab it gets completed, like setting homepage to http://blah
2496 and typing: home page is homepage<tab> -> home page is http://blah
2497 + Tab nick completion.
2498 + ':' nick completion also changed a bit.. If it fits to more than
2499 one nick it's completed in bash style. Like if there's mynick1 and
2500 mynik2, "my:" gets completed to "myni:"
2501 + glib 1.0.6 didn't have g_get_user_name(), g_get_real_name(),
2502 g_get_home_dir() and g_strncasecmp(), made them..
2503 - Using --no-applet crashed..
2504 - Using items in user modes menu crashed
2505 - Several small bugs fixed..
2507 v0.4.0 1999-02-01 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2509 + *Lots* of internal changes with window handling, fixed some memory
2510 leaks also while doing them. You can now have multiple real windows
2511 with tabbed subwindows in them. It's also possible to have multiple
2512 channels in one subwindow. Commands for handling these.. :
2513 - /join - Works like before, creates real or subwindow depending
2514 if "use tabbed windows" is set in setup.
2515 - /wjoin - Joins channel to current window
2516 - /hjoin - Creates new subwindow and joins there
2517 - /njoin - Creates new real window and join there
2518 + Changed URL max length from 20 to 200.. Didn't realize it was that
2520 + Shows the nick who sent wallop, you need to change the second
2521 line in format texts from "%s" to "%s: %s" to make this it work.
2522 Need to do some kind of autoupgrading for formats that change..
2523 + Found new functions from glib :)
2524 - g_getenv("HOME") -> g_get_home_dir()
2525 - getpw() -> g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name()
2526 - strcasecmp() -> g_strcasecmp()
2527 - strncasecmp() -> g_strncasecmp()
2528 + GNOME version uses ~/.irssi.conf if it exists
2529 - Opping/deopping anyone made irssi think that you were opped/deopped
2530 - read_line() had some pretty bad bugs...
2532 v0.3.6 1999-01-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2534 + irssi.spec to easily build .rpm
2536 - Alternative nick which is used when default nick is in use.
2537 - Create own window for msgs
2540 - Max lines to keep in command line history
2541 - Scrollback buffer size
2543 + Toolbar .. we need pixmaps .. Needs also window (channel/query)
2545 + Using horizontal panel works right now.
2546 + Alt-1..0 changes between windows
2547 - Private actions didn't show up in query windows where they should
2549 - Alias and ignores lists were mixed together and didn't work.
2550 - Setting max channels to display in panel to -1 (which is default..)
2551 displayed actually only one channel.. Also setting this to 0 works.
2552 - Topic didn't change when changing between windows in tabbed windows
2554 - When op received +v, @ was changed to + in nick list
2555 - Connect/disconnect/channels dialogs fixed so that they won't crash
2556 when clicking buttons with empty lists.
2558 v0.3.5 1999-01-26 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2560 + Finished the channels dialog, you can automatically join to
2561 channels in specific irc networks.
2562 + Changed the look of connect and disconnect dialogs
2563 + servertest/ directory, just a test program to try if irssi crashes
2564 with _HEAVY_ network load (ie. if there's buffer overflows or some
2565 other weird bugs). It doesn't :)
2566 + Preferences: Maximum number of channels to display in panel
2567 - When leaving from channels, panel didn't redraw it's list correctly
2568 - Leaving channels in tabbed window mode crashed
2569 - Fixed crash if connection got lost
2571 v0.3.4 1999-01-24 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2573 + Tabbed windows work a lot better
2575 + Preferences: default user mode
2576 - Connecting to more than one server crashed...
2577 - Nick list redrawing was broken
2578 - Dock applet wrote the texts to pixmap but didn't draw the pixmap
2579 into screen then properly..
2581 v0.3.3 1999-01-23 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2583 + /ignore never - never autoignore nick
2584 + You can hide/show channel nick list from Channel menu, default
2585 state can be set from preferences.
2586 + Preferences: Strip styles from text, misc options
2587 + Launching URLs work!
2588 + More str[nnn] -> GString changes, should be no more potential
2590 + Started the tabbed windows, probably quite buggy and the
2591 window_create() code is getting REALLY ugly..
2592 - Servers didn't display QUIT message.. Couldn't think of any better
2593 way to fix this than not to disconnect the link but let the server
2595 - ANSI colors didn't work right
2597 v0.3.2 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2599 + Dock applet, works at least with Enlightenment..
2600 - GTK version tried to move temp config file to real config file
2601 with rename() .. didn't work if /tmp and home were in different
2603 - Some servers sent a mode change before /names list, irssi didn't
2604 like that and crashed..
2605 - No more Gtk-Critical messages if irssi is run with --no-applet
2607 v0.3.1 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2609 * 4 days since last relase. too long :) I'm now starting to create
2610 "unstable" versions of irssi. They have the latest and greatest
2611 features while they might not build/work too well. Check
2612 http://www.sicom.fi/~ikioma/irssi-download.html, new versions will
2613 probably be released quite often.
2614 * GNOME version now builds without GNOME panel applet library
2615 * Works with GTK+ 1.0.6 now, maybe with older too.
2616 + Connect / disconnect dialogs, channel dialog also started
2617 + Server setup dialog changed some.
2618 + Status window has a list of channels, queries and (yet not
2619 implemented) DCC chats. Also the tiny panel window isn't displayed
2620 unless you're running irssi in panel..
2621 + Menu bar in all windows
2622 + Cleaned read_line() to use GStrings.
2623 + $(sysconfdir)/irssi.conf is copied to default user file if it isn't
2625 + If you get kicked from channel the channel window won't get
2627 - Query was in op submenu in nicklist's popup menu .. whops.
2628 - 0.3.0 broke server tag generation so using multiple servers didn't
2631 v0.3.0 1999-01-18 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2633 * Config changes in GTK version, delete old .irssi.conf file (or
2634 change all "tag = values" to "tag=values")
2635 * Default set of servers and aliases can be found from irssi.conf,
2636 copy that to ~/.gnome/irssi (if build with GNOME) or ~/.irssi.conf
2637 (if build without GNOME).
2638 + servers page added to preferences. Without connect dialog this is
2639 quite useless though :) But if you set "connect to IRC server at
2640 startup" on, irssi connects you to first local server.
2642 - /ALIAS <alias> <command to execute>
2643 - alias page added to preferences
2644 - these codes are extracted in commands:
2646 %1, %2, %3 .. : word %
2647 &1, &2, &3 .. : word & + the rest of the text after it
2649 - typing extra / before /command (//command) ignores any aliases
2651 - /IGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
2652 - /UNIGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
2653 - ignore page added to preferences
2654 - ignore levels: ALL, CRAP, CHAN, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS,
2655 SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC, CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
2656 + autoignoring msg and ctcp flooders
2657 + options page added to preferences
2658 + invite lists (channel mode I)
2659 + !channels should work now
2660 + replaced quite a lot of g_new()'s with GStrings. fixed one buffer
2661 overflow with this also..
2662 + /AWAYALL - sends /away to all connected servers
2663 + /KNOCKOUT [secs] <nick> <reason> - kick+ban+delay (5min)+unban
2664 - nick completion was case-sensitive
2665 - again some minor bugs fixed and features added
2667 v0.2.1 1999-01-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2669 + Preferences: color and font selection
2670 + gnome-stuff.c has some gnome_* compatible functions to get GTK+
2671 version work. They're pretty slow and dum and maybe even buggy so
2672 if you want better, just compile the gnome libs :)
2673 + Doubleclicking in topic sets the entry editable/uneditable
2674 - nick completion was buggy
2675 - some minor bugs and features fixed
2677 v0.2.0 1999-01-16 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2679 + CTCP VERSION returns system name and revisions
2680 + msgs window has now autoraise set on as default
2681 + status window is used only when there's no window active..
2682 + Done server handing:
2683 /server = /disconnect + /connect
2684 /connect = connects to new server without disconnecting from
2686 /disconnect = disconnect from current server
2687 + msgs and status window have a server selector menu
2688 + clicking a server tag in msgs window changes server
2689 + channel information box
2690 + --no-panel command line switch so you can build with GNOME support
2691 but don't need to be running it in panel.
2692 - some automake fixes
2693 - If someone was kicked, the kicker was removed from nick list
2694 insted of the kicked..
2695 - Fixed some weird situtation where snapshot window wouldn't
2696 disappear from screen..
2698 v0.1.0 1999-01-14 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
