1 v0.8.4 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
3 * Continuing to fix my stupid mistakes...
5 - When a queried nick did a nick change, it might have crashed irssi
6 - read ChangeLog for some other minor changes
8 v0.8.3 2002-03-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
10 - Perl scripts handling channel parts/kicks/quits printed some
12 - Connecting to IPv6 servers without IPv4 record didn't work
13 - When queries were auto-created by you using /MSG and you had
14 /SET autoclose_query non-zero, the query was always destroyed
16 - Fix to some stupid ircds not sending us 001 numeric, but
19 v0.8.2 2002-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
21 * Changed the list of scripts distributed with irssi. Separated
22 example scripts to scripts/examples/ directory.
24 * Hated infobar was removed, the same info is now in topicbar in
25 empty windows. I don't think it would disturb anyone in there.
26 If you still preferred always-empty topicbars, use
27 /SBAR topic REMOVE topic_empty
29 + Added info_eol field to theme. If true, timestamp and server tag
30 are added to end of line, not at beginning.
31 + If -4 or -6 option is used with /SERVER, irssi now forces the
32 connection using the given protocol or fails.
33 + /SET max_wildcard_modes (default 6) - if a wildcard to /OP, /DEOP,
34 /VOICE or /DEVOICE matches more nicks than this, -yes option is
35 required. This is trying to prevent accidental massops. Setting
36 it to 0 disables this check.
37 + Supports now correctly servers which use '.' char as channel owner
38 character in /NAMES list. Also supports multiple mode chars, eg.
39 @+nick (if some server actually used it).
40 + Never ignore kick message if you get kicked from channel.
41 + Sending irssi SIGHUP now does a /RELOAD - useful if you
42 accidentally messed up something which doesn't let you do the
43 /RELOAD inside irssi (eg. /SBAR prompt DISABLE).
44 + irssi-proxy: PROXY CTCP ON|OFF - proxy clients can send this
45 command to specify that they want to handle the received CTCP
46 requests. Useful for specifying who gets to handle DCCs.
47 + Added escape_char /BIND command. The next char after that would be
48 added as-is to input line.
49 - Writing lines longers than 1024 chars to input buffer crashed
50 irssi (stupid missing sizeof() bug :)
52 - Better flood protection for lines with >100 chars
53 - Control characters aren't printed as-is in topicbar (or statusbars
55 - /OPER can be now aborted by giving empty password
56 - Netjoin messages were buggy in +channels
57 - Part message parameter for /CYCLE was never used.
58 - Don't send -autosendcmd after /UPGRADE.
59 - /SET autoclose_query - now only last received private message
60 affects when the query is closed, ie. /WHOIS requests or nick
61 changes don't reset the counter.
62 - Foreground ANSI colors weren't working
63 - Deleting one character replaced cutbuffer with that character.
64 Also ^Y leaked memory.
65 - /SCRIPT LOAD looked scripts from prefix/lib dir, not prefix/share
66 where they were actually installed.
67 - Highascii chars in replaces block in theme files could have
70 v0.8.1 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
72 * Expected bugfix release :) Worst thing was that I forgot always to
73 debug why /cat /dev/urandom crashed irssi. Well, found two ways
74 that could make it happen.
76 - Irssi was linked with -lcurses AND -lncurses
77 - Logging could have produced GLib errors with certain conditions
78 - A few compiler warnings fixes
80 v0.8.0 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
82 * I really should make releases more often. Once in every two weeks
83 used to be nice. Maybe once in a month would be good now. There
84 was many reasons why this release took this long .. first being
85 addicted to books, then life stuff, then it took forever to figure
86 out that irssi was crashing under solaris (and not because of one
87 of the big changes I made while moving to IRC from solaris box).
89 And now.. well, after this release I'll start working more with
90 the yet another irssi rewrite :) The code is getting too ugly
91 again, and some things need rewriting to support some new features
92 more easily. It will take a while to get it all done, so I'll try
93 to keep updating this "stable" irssi as well.
95 There's too many changes since 0.7.98.3 (and .4 which was just
96 minor bugfix), about 6600 lines in ChangeLog. I'm not going to
97 read all that, so I'll just list the biggest changes that I can
100 This version was supposed to be called 0.7.99, but since there
101 were so many changes, and I originally though of putting 0.8.0
102 out long time ago, and 0.7.100 would look stupid, I guess it's
105 + /UPGRADE - upgrade irssi to new version on-the-fly without
106 disconnecting from server, so other people won't even notice you
107 quit from IRC. This ONLY executes the new binary, it does NOT
108 download/compile/whatever irssi.
109 + UTF-8 support with /SET term_type UTF-8, default is "8bit".
110 It's also automatically detected from system locale (if supported).
111 + Fully configurable statusbar. Yes. FULLY. Don't bother asking if
112 something could be done with it, it can, just ask how. Well,
113 there's a few things I didn't have time/energy to finish:
114 window-specific statusbar groups and support for multiple input
116 + Rewritten keyboard handling. No more the CTRL-X and ALT-x handling,
117 now you can create whatever keyboard combinations your terminal
119 + Rewritten text buffer (scrollback) handling.
120 + Irssi doesn't depend on curses anymore, so it can be installed
121 anywhere a working terminfo/termcap exists. This also allows us to
122 use all the possible colors terminal has (curses limits to 64), so
123 eg. %0 is now always black background, not the default terminal
126 Several systems have also terminfo/termcap database that doesn't
127 support colors, so I've added /SET term_force_colors option to
128 force ANSI-style colors. Note that eg. BitchX does this by default.
130 Getting rid of curses allows also one great thing for you people
131 copy&pasting long urls :) If a long word gets split to two lines,
132 doubleclicking the word selects it from both lines.
133 + Rewritten server event redirections. Before it was pretty easy to
134 mess up irssi's expectations of what server sends, and some things
135 might have stayd in the buffer forever. Especially notify lists
136 messed up /WHOIS requests for the notified people. Now all this
137 should be history and it's a lot easier for scripts to use the
138 redirections as well.
139 + New ICB chat protocol plugin - very basic and doesn't support
140 nicklist, but works. :)
141 + --home and --config parameters to specify alternate ~/.irssi
142 directory or config file.
143 + Scripts can be unloaded separately with /SCRIPT UNLOAD. You can get
144 a list of runnning scripts with /SCRIPT.
145 + /SERVER PURGE [<target>] - purge the output buffer (for given
146 target). Useful for example if you accidentally paste 100 lines :)
147 The buffer is automatically purged if you get kicked from channel,
148 or if you /PART the channel and there's more than 10 lines in
151 v0.7.98.3 2001-03-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
153 * Highlighting changes: /HILIGHT -color, /SET hilight_color and
154 /SET hilight_act_color don't accept the numeric color value
155 anymore, the colors must be the %code format (see the beginning
156 of docs/formats.txt). The color can also have background and
157 underline/blinking set (%F%Y = blinking yellow)
159 * Statusbar rewrite: Statusbar should finally work well when
160 there's not enough space for it in screen. Least important items
161 start shrinking/disappearing before more important ones, activity
162 list should be always fully visible now.
164 /SET statusbar_xxx settings have been removed, everything is
165 configurable from theme now. Even the texts in the statusbar
166 items. See end of default.theme.
168 FULLY configurable statusbar with possibility to create your own
169 items and support for multiple lines will hopefully come soon.
171 + /WINDOW CLOSE [<first> [<last>] - you can close multiple
173 + Emphasis work with actions now
174 + If there's any unknown settings in your configuration file, irssi
175 asks at startup if they should be removed.
176 + All abstracts in theme files now default to same as in
177 default.theme, so you may override only those you want to change
178 leaving the rest commented out.
179 - Irssi crashed when specifying vhost to use (not always?)
180 - Fixed one nasty usage of already free'd memory. Hopefully solves
182 - Some perl fixes, Irssi::Nick and "massjoin" signal didn't work
183 properly which broke all auto-op scripts.
184 - If one server fails because of DNS error, don't stop reconnecting
186 - Updated default config to have max_query_chans=1 in undernet to
187 avoid those channel syncing problems.
188 - /SERVER didn't autojoin channels if it was used when you weren't
189 connected to any other servers
190 - /CONNECT -ircnet didn't load ircnet specific settings correctly
191 - /SET scroll_page_count - don't crash if /0 is given. Works now
192 properly if /0.xx is given.
193 - ^O did reset only colors, not underlines etc.
194 - Several fixes with handling blinking text
195 - Irssi crashed almost immediately with NetBSD/Alpha, fixed. Still
196 not sure if it was compiler bug or is my code just non-standard C.
197 - Reconnecting in IPv6 server shouldn't change to IPv4
198 - Irssi proxy didn't work properly with systems where irssi was
199 compiled with --enable-ipv6 but OS didn't support IPv6
201 v0.7.98.2 2001-03-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
203 + /LASTLOG: added -case option for case-sensitive matching.
204 -force option is now required to print lastlogs longer than
206 + /BANTYPE -> /SET ban_type. /BAN: -type option added to override
208 + /NAMES: -ops -halfops -voices -normal options added.
209 /NAMES without parameters now prints nicklist in active channel,
210 /NAMES ** shows all nicks in all channels.
211 + delete_next_word key implemented, patch by Tinuk
212 + /SET beep_when_window_active - works with /SET beep_msg_level,
213 should we beep when the msg is printed to active window. If msg
214 is printed to some other window it always beeps.
215 + /JOIN #channel and /QUERY nick won't anymore automatically move
216 channel/query to active window but send a notice to user how to
217 move it. This was confusing people who did it accidentally.
218 + /SET autostick_split_windows (default ON) - should we do
219 /WINDOW STICK ON to all new split windows and hidden windows that
220 are created inside it. This hopefully makes it easier to use split
222 - All IPv6 problems are hopefully fixed. Everything now keeps both
223 v4 and v6 addresses in memory and at connect() time it's decided
224 which one should be used.
225 - /IGNORE * level printed GLib error. /RELOADing printed some
226 unignore texts. Autoignores had some problems.
227 - Using /LAYOUT SAVE with split windows crashed irssi at startup
228 when it tried to restore them..
229 - /WINDOW SHOW command didn't work properly
230 - /LAST -clear crashed if window contained only lastlog lines.
231 Beeping after /LAST -clear also could have crashed.
232 - HILIGHT level didn't work with logs.
233 - /SET prompt - if $T (target) had %c or something in it, it
234 shouldn't be treated as color code. So color codes can now be
235 used in /SET prompt string itself, but in none of the $variables
237 - Generated help files had joined lines in chapter together but
238 didn't add spaces between lines.
239 - Statusbar could have gotten to endless loop when trying to give
240 more space to some item when there was no more available space.
241 - When /SET autoclose_windows is ON, don't destroy windows if they
242 have some level set (like /join -w + /part in status window)
243 - If GLIB was unpacked to irssi directory, make install tried to
245 - Always save theme to ~/.irssi/ no matter where it was read from.
246 - If /SET names_max_width was too low, irssi crashed
247 - /CONNECT -ircnet "" - even if someone does this don't make the
249 - /QUERYing #channel that was already /JOINed crashed irssi after
251 - /SET -clear printed GLib error when done to boolean settings
253 v0.7.98.1 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
255 - fixed stupid remote crash with nick_match_msg()
257 v0.7.98 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
259 * Theme files aren't fully compatible with old ones, there's a few
260 naming changes and some new items. Added lots of comments and help
261 to default.theme, so creating themes should be a bit easier now :)
263 * Perl scripts aren't compatible with old ones anymore. Biggest
264 change is that $object->values()->{xxx} calls are now just
265 $object->{xxx}, but there's a lot of other changes as well.
266 docs/perl.txt is now up to date so you may want to read it.
268 * Several settings have changed their names:
269 /SET beep_on_msg -> beep_msg_level
270 /SET activity_levels -> activity_msg_level
271 /SET hilight_levels -> activity_hilight_level
272 /SET noact_channels -> activity_hide_targets
274 + /SET prompt, /SET prompt_window - Specifies the text in prompt.
275 'prompt' is used when channel or query is active in window and
276 'prompt_window' is used with empty windows. You can also use
277 % color codes in prompt.
278 + /EXEC - rewrote it, has now all the same features as EPIC and a
279 few more, like "interactive shell in window" support. See
280 /HELP exec for information.
281 + /SAVEWINDOWS renamed to /LAYOUT SAVE. Added /LAYOUT RESET.
282 /LAYOUT SAVE now saves split windows and queries properly.
283 Windows that contain saved channels are never used for anything
284 else (ie. if the saved channel isn't joined, no other channels
285 can be joined to the window)
286 + /WINDOW SERVER: added -sticky and -unsticky options. If window
287 server is sticky, it will never be automatically changed, and it
288 cannot be changed to anything else without -unsticky option.
289 Should be useful for people who want status or msgs windows for
291 + /WINDOW STICK [ON|OFF|<ref#>] - stick window to specified split
292 window. After setting window to sticky non-sticky windows can't
293 replace the active sticky one. Each split window can have it's own
295 + /WINDOW LEFT, /WINDOW RIGHT - Go to previous/next window in the
296 current sticky window group, or if there's no sticky windows go to
297 previous/next non-sticky window. Alt-Left/Right keys default to
299 + /WINDOW NUMBER: -sticky option added. Closing windows before a
300 sticky window won't change refnum of the sticky window and windows
302 + /SET windows_auto_renumber - should window refnums be packed when
303 some window is destroyed in the middle
304 + /SET scroll_page_count - how many lines to scroll with pgup/pgdn.
305 either an absolute value, or if the count starts with '/', it's
306 calculated as lines_in_screen/count. The default is /2.
307 + /SET timestamp_format specifies the format to use with timestamps
308 in "man strftime" format.
309 + Emphasis (*word*, _word_) replacing works better now. It doesn't
310 try to change nicks or any non-words. This time people might want
311 to actually use it :)
312 + Nick completion logic changes, should work better now. Changed
313 meaning of /SET completion_keep_publics to be number of publics
314 to keep instead of time to keep them.
315 + /HILIGHT: Added -priority option (deciding which color should stay
316 in activity list), /SET hilight_level to specify the default level
317 for /HILIGHTs. -word option renamed to -full. Added new -word
318 option meaning to highlight only the found word in line. Removed
319 -nonick option but added -line which means pretty much the same.
320 -actcolor specifies what color to show in activity list, default
321 is the same as -color or if there's no -color it defaults to
322 /SET hilight_act_color. Colors can have background color set with
323 fg,bg. Works with activity list too, useful for example blinking.
324 + DCC rewrite. File names with spaces work properly, you can have
325 multiple dcc chats with same people (or more useful, same nick in
326 different ircnets), /DCC CHAT|GET|RESUME with no arguments accepts
327 the last request, notifies if dcc request was sent to channel,
328 warns about connecting to lowports, /SET dcc_autoget_lowports
329 specifies if autogetting should work with lowports, complains of
330 invalid DCC CTCPs instead of ignoring, /SET dcc_autoresume is like
331 dcc_autoget except resumes the files if possible.
332 + /NAMES can print columns with different widths now. You can change
333 the max. width with /SET names_max_width and /SET names_max_columns
334 settings. Default is max. 6 columns.
335 + /LASTLOG: Added options -file <filename> for writing lastlog to
336 file, -window <ref#|name> for specifying which window's lastlog to
337 print (output is always to active window) and -clear option to
338 remove all lastlog lines from window.
339 + /OPER [<nick> [<password>]] - syntax changed. If password isn't
341 + /FOREACH server|channel|query|window <command>
342 + /UNBAN <ref#> works. /BAN list shows reference numbers.
343 + /PERL <code> - runs perl code (like /PERL Irssi::print "hello")
344 + /CLEAR -all - clear all windows
345 + /KICKBAN and /KNOCKOUT accepts multiple nicks separated with commas
346 + /SET theme - says what theme was changed to, and complains if
347 theme wasn't found. Setting theme's name to "xxx.theme" now works,
348 too many people tried it with the .theme suffix :)
349 + /WHOIS without parameters in query does now same as
351 + IPv6 updates: /CONNECT, /SERVER, /SERVER ADD: added -4 and -6
352 options for specifying if we should connect to IPv4 or IPv6 address
353 of the server. If -host or /SET hostname is set, irssi determines
354 from it if it should use IPv4 or v6. If irssi still isn't sure of
355 it, it fallbacks to /SET resolve_prefer_ipv6
356 + Logs and rawlogs write to files through special "write buffer". By
357 default everything gets written immediately, but you can make it
358 wait until there's specified amount of data in buffer or write once
359 in a hour or so. Useful for people who want to keep hard disk at
360 sleep at nights but still want to log. /SET write_buffer_mins and
361 /SET write_buffer_kb specifies when to flush the buffer.
362 /FLUSHBUFFER flushes it immediately.
363 + LOTS of other smaller things that should make your life easier :)
364 - /SET dcc_autorename OFF didn't work before.
365 - Irssi compiled with IPv6 support didn't work properly with some
367 - Theme saving to home dir didn't work correctly if globaldir
368 already had the same theme.
369 - If log file locking failed, irssi always assumed it was locked
370 while it could have been because filesystem didn't support locking
371 or some other problem..
373 v0.7.97 2000-12-03 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
375 * Added templates for themes - this allowed separation of the
376 actual texts and styling/coloring. See default.theme file for
377 more information. You should remove your old ~/.irssi/default.theme
378 or at least merge it with the defaul.theme.
380 * If GLIB sources are found unpacked from some subdirectory, always
381 compile it and use it even if GLIB is already installed somewhere
384 + /SCROLLBACK REDRAW - redraw contents of current window according
385 to active formats, ie. changing theme updates the scrollback.
386 This requires /SET scrollback_save_formats ON.
387 + /SET log_theme <theme> - you can specify what theme to use for
388 writing texts to log file.
389 + /WAIT [-<server tag>] <milliseconds> - wait for <milliseconds>
390 before sending anything else to server
391 + /EXEC <command> - execute command and print it's output (stdout
392 only) to screen. (by Tinuk)
393 + Don't indent the next line when long word is split, this should
394 help a bit when copying long URLs.
395 + Remember who set the topic and when, display the info when using
397 + /SET emphasis - convert _underlined_ and *bold* words (and phrases)
398 to use real underlines/bolds. (by tommik)
399 + While waiting for more netsplits/netjoins, if anything else is
400 printed to screen, print the current netsplit/netjoin messages
402 + Print multiple identical mode changes in one line
403 (mode +o nick by nick1, nick2, nick3)
404 + /WINDOW ITEM GOTO <name> - sets <name> active in current window
405 + /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <window#>|<name> - moves window item to another
407 + /SET autocreate_windows - should we create new windows for new
408 window items or just place everything to one window
409 + /JOIN #already_joined_channel, /QUERY already_queried_nick - same
410 as /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <name>
411 + /SET activity_level, /SET hilight_level - specifies which message
412 levels should be treated as msg/hilight activity. (by tommik)
413 + DCC queries are now created automatically only if /SET
414 autocreate_query_level has DCCMSGS level
415 + If other side replies to our DCC CHAT request with DCC CHAT
416 request of their own (maybe we were inside firewall and other
417 side noticed it), connect to it immediately.
418 + Don't allow more than one identical DCC request, if more is
419 received just update the port of the previous request.
420 + Added KILL handling - user/server kills are now printed formatted.
421 + If server KILLs you, connect back (almost) immediately (don't wait
422 for the default 5 minutes)
423 + Nick completion now completes nicks from all channels in active
424 window, except when completing the first word in line only nicks
425 in active channel are completed.
426 + /SET show_nickmode_empty - when nick has no mode, should we
428 + /SET part_message - default message with /PART
429 + Added -current, -window and -level options to /ECHO
430 + Ctrl-T = transpose_characters
431 + Perl scripting supports now printformat(), ie. user can change
432 the text format with /FORMAT just like any other formats.
433 + Proxy plugin now supports multiple servers, blocks CTCPs from
434 clients behind it and if one client sends message to channel,
435 other clients + proxy itself also receives the message.
436 - Netsplit/netjoin printing fixes. Sometimes netsplits were hidden
437 completely and some netjoins were forgotten and printed as normal
439 - Lag checking broke sometimes when nick was changed
440 - Don't close non-autolog logs when leaving channel / closing query.
441 - Time formats didn't work in directory name of autologs.
442 - Sometimes join to channel didn't ever get synced.
443 - IPv6 support didn't work correctly with all non-Linux OSes.
444 - Lots of minor fixes and changes to make your life easier.
446 v0.7.96 2000-10-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
448 * new configure option: --disable-curses-windows. Use this if curses
449 always redraws the window when scrolling. This is a weird problem,
450 I'd like to know why it happens. :)
451 * Log settings are incompatible with previous versions. You'll need
452 to setup them again. Or the targets are actually the only ones
453 that irssi won't read correctly.
454 * Lots of moving and cleaning and rewriting stuff from irc to core
455 so adding other IRC-like protocols (but not IRC) would be easier.
456 This was mostly done to make SILC plugin work.
457 * Perl was split to Irssi and Irssi::Irc packages. You'll currently
458 need to use both of them with perl scripts ("use Irssi;
459 use Irssi::Irc;). This might not be needed in future :)
461 - /SET default_nick -> /SET nick
462 - /FORMAT own_me -> /FORMAT own_action
463 - /FORMAT own_dcc_me -> /FORMAT own_dcc_action
465 + Small tutorial to new irssi users - docs/startup-HOWTO.txt
466 + Proxy plugin works again, thanks to fuchs for fixing it :)
467 + You can now connect multiple times to same server and
468 reconnections will work correctly with them.
469 + Support for half-ops (+h)
470 + Actions will now show up in window activity with hilight or
471 message-color, not the text-color as before.
472 + Added tab-completion for /BIND's commands.
473 + Perl support is now built as runtime loadable module by default.
474 You can still build it statically with --enable-perl=static
476 + /SET completion_nicks_lowercase - when completing nicks always
477 write the nick with lowercase (uppercase letters are ugly ;)
478 + /BIND <key> /command works now directly instead of needing the
479 "command" id in the middle
480 + /connect + /server server/chatnet completion by tommik.
481 + Keyboard should never get stuck again when receiving huge amounts
482 of text from server that irssi doesn't handle fast enough.
483 - Hopefully fixed the problem when Irssi starts eating 100% CPU
484 - Fixes to make irssi work with other (older and newer) perl
486 - /MSG -servertag crashed irssi.
487 - /BAN could crash when showing bans
488 - log_day_change was never printed in logs
489 - /mode #channel -oooo... would deop the first 3, and then op the
491 - When pressing down key, the command line wasn't saved to history.
492 - Closing or moving window didn't update the window activity list.
493 - Autologging with same named channels in different networks works
496 v0.7.95 2000-08-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
499 - /LOG: Removed the -rotate option, it was pretty useless since
500 adding the % formats to file name already tells that the log
502 - WJOIN -> /JOIN -window and WQUERY -> /QUERY -window. Added
503 WJOIN and WQUERY aliases for them in default config..
504 + /SAVEWINDOWS saves the current layout of windows. It's
505 automatically reloaded at startup.
506 + Theme fixes: /RELOAD reloads them, /SET theme changes the default
507 theme, you can have window specific themes with /WINDOW THEME.
508 + Irssi uses now real curses windows, irssi should work now better
510 + Autologging supports log rotating now too, just add the wanted %
511 formats to /SET autolog_path
512 + /MSG nick completion now gives the nicks in right time order when
513 using multiple irc networks.
514 + /SET beep_on_msg now works with all message levels, including
516 + You can change the default line indentation with /SET indent
517 + /channel add -bots: You can now use @ or + before the nick mask to
518 indicate that bot should have either ops or voices/ops.
520 - Added namespaces, you don't have to worry about if someone
521 else also happens to be using event_privmsg function..
522 - You can unload scripts with /UNLOAD <name>.
523 - Running scripts that are already loaded, destroys the old
525 - Added Irssi::print_window() function to print text to current
527 - Don't autoclose window after part/unquery if there was still some
528 channels/queries left in window.
529 - Autologging fixes: Don't log WHOIS replies by default
530 (autolog_level = all -crap). And with /msg nick1,nick2 don't log
531 to file nick1,nick2.log but nick1.log and nick2.log separately.
532 It also failed if you hadn't created the base path for the logs,
533 now irssi creates the whole directory path.
535 v0.7.94 2000-07-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
537 * Help files! Use /HELP <command> to see them.
538 They're just very first beta versions so don't expect too much.
539 They were written by Markus Vuori <mm@vuori.net> with some help
540 from EPIC's help files :)
543 - /SET completion_disable_auto -> completion_auto
544 - Changed the names of /BIND commands to be epic-compatible.
545 Also added several new commands.
546 - If --prefix is used, add the default perl library directory to
548 + Implemented /WINDOW LAST for changing to last current window.
549 + Added DCCMSGS message level. Actions match now either MSGS or
550 PUBLIC level as well as the ACTIONS level always.
551 + SET print_active_channel - if you have multiple channels in same
552 window, should we always print the channel for each message
553 (<nick:#channel>) or only when the channel isn't active.
554 + Don't print nick changes and quit messages from same nick more
555 than once in the same window (if you had joined multiple channels
557 + /SET settings_autosave - If set ON, settings are automatically
558 saved when quitting and once per hour.
559 + Don't allow recursive aliases, ie. /alias echo echo hello does
560 print hello instead of going to infinite loop.
561 + Implemented /IGNORE -time <seconds>, patch by fuchs.
562 + /PERLFLUSH now cleans up the Perl interpreter properly (closes
563 all the files opened in perl scripts, etc)
564 - Awaylog didn't work right if you did /AWAY multiple times.
565 - /NOTIFY -idle sometimes printed the unidle-message even if the
566 nick really didn't stop idling. Fixed several other notify list
568 - Tab-msgcompletion didn't work right after you had used
570 - Fixed the long standing text buffer bug which could sometimes
571 crash irssi if you were unlucky.
572 - The channel key given in /JOIN should override the one given
574 - /RELOAD caused several bugs
576 v0.7.93 2000-07-09 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
578 + Implemented /BIND [<key> [<action> [<data>]]] command.
579 <key> can be CTRL-x, ALT-X or ALT-SHIFT-X
580 The most useful action is "command", give the command in <data>.
581 You can see the rest of the actions with typing /BIND without
582 any parameters. Some actions might have more than one word,
583 to use them type the action in "quotation marks".
584 + When netsplit is over, irssi prints "Netsplit over, joins: (nicks)"
585 and hides all the real JOIN messages.
586 + /^COMMAND hides the output of the command, it's not written to
587 log either. Good for sending passwords for example.
588 + If you're pasting text to channel and some of it starts with /,
589 Irssi will send the "/command" to channel if it doesn't exist
590 (instead of just printing "unknown command").
591 + --enable-perl[=libdir] to configure - you can specify what
592 directory to install the perl libraries.
593 + Implemented runtime loadable modules. /LOAD loads a module,
595 + You can change statusbar colors with /SET statusbar_xxx.
596 + Added -clear option to /SET.
597 + Tab-completion for /FORMAT.
598 + Ctrl-Y undeletes the last line deleted with Ctrl-U.
599 - Reconnecting to server had a few bugs
600 - /RELOADing configuration produced a few bugs
601 - Highlighting had several bugs
602 - Automatic command and option completions had some bugs
603 - -option tab-completion didn't work
605 v0.7.92 2000-06-30 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
609 /SERVER -add, -remove, -list -> /SERVER ADD, REMOVE, LIST
610 /SET window_close_on_part -> /SET autoclose_windows
611 /HILIGHT -nick -> /HILIGHT -mask (see below)
612 + Automatic completion of /commands. Automatic completion of
613 command -options. Complains about unknown -options.
614 + /MSG [-<server tag>] <nick> <msg> - you can specify what server
615 to send the message to.
616 + Rewrote tab-completion to be modular, it's REALLY easy to add
617 completion to whatever you want. It now handles:
618 - Command completion works better, subcommand completion works
619 - Command -option completion
620 - /MSG completion completes from all IRC servers, so if you had
621 message from ircnet and efnet, irssi will complete with
622 /MSG -ircnet nick1 -> /MSG -efnet nick2
623 - #channel completion works - it completes only channels you
624 have joined or have in setup
625 - File name completion with /DCC SEND (and other commands)
626 - /TOGGLE settings completion
627 - Completion for command parameters or subcommands work right
628 even if the command was typed as alias.
630 - -nick highlights only the nick, not the whole line. Works
631 only with public messages.
632 - -mask option matches the text for nick mask (it didn't even
634 - Window numbers in activity list are colored with hilight
636 - You can give real color names with -color option. All the
637 "normal" colors can be given, if you want bold colors, use
638 b+color name, like bgreen.
639 - /SET hilight_color specifies the default highlight color
640 - /SET hilight_only_nick specifies if we should highlight the
641 nick or the whole line if -nick or -nonick wasn't specified
643 + /LAST -away checks only lines that came after last time you
645 + You can specify command(s) to be sent automatically to server
646 after connected with /IRCNET -autosendcmd. Useful for sending
647 your password to NickServ.
648 + Added /SET reuse_unused_windows setting, default is OFF. Works
649 only when /SET autoclose_windows is ON. This specifies if new
650 windows should be joined to new window, or if existing empty
651 windows should be used.
652 + /SET lag_min_show -1 disables displaying lag entirely.
653 - /SCROLLBACK HOME, END and GOTO commands weren't working right.
654 - Closing active window that had channels/queries could crash
655 - Using \n with /SET expand_escapes ON didn't work right.
656 - Logging HILIGHT messages didn't work
657 - The "max. count" parameter in /LAST didn't work right.
659 v0.7.91 2000-06-14 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
661 + Ctrl-X changes IRC server in stats/msgs/empty windows.
662 + /JOIN -<server tag> #channel joins to channel in specified server.
663 + /WHOIS automatically sends a /WHOWAS query if nick wasn't in IRC.
664 + if some unknown /command had another / in it, like /usr/bin,
665 send it as normal message. good for copypasting paths :)
666 + If you're not allowed to connect to server (K-lined, no I-line),
667 Irssi won't try to reconnect back to the server.
668 + You can disable window activity notifies in specified channels
669 with /SET noact_channels #chan1 #chan2 .. The activity is
670 displayed if window had a message to you.
671 + Tab-completion works now with /commands and /set variables
672 + /SET close_window_on_part - should we close the window too when
674 + /SET autocreate_own_query ON - creates query window when you
675 send message with /MSG nick.
676 + /SET mail_counter specifies if we should show mail counter in
678 + /SET wall_format specifies the text that's sent with /WALL
679 + If you /SET expand_escapes ON and type \n or \t to text line, they
680 will be expanded to newline and tab.
681 + Ctrl-W deletes word in left
682 - Flood was detected wrong - /SET flood_timecheck's argument was
683 supposed to be seconds, not milliseconds.
684 - Unignoring autoignored nicks didn't work
685 - Logging wrote messages to log file twice
686 - /WINDOW MOVE <number> could put irssi to infinite loop
687 - ANSI blink code crashed irssi.
688 - Replying to DCC GET and CHAT requests didn't work
689 - /HILIGHT displayed levels twice, /HILIGHT -channels didn't work
690 - /SET ignore_signals wasn't read at startup..
692 v0.7.90 2000-06-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
694 * On the way to 0.8.0 .. Major rewriting/rearranging code. There's
695 some changes in behaviour because I'm trying to make Irssi
696 compatible with EPIC as much as possible (except the scripting,
697 perl should be enough?)
699 * DOCUMENTATION! See docs/manual.txt
701 This NEWS file contains only the biggest new features, you should
702 browse through the documentation to find the rest. Some of the
703 parameters of commands listed in this file aren't really up to
704 date since I got a bit bored writing them here too.. They are
705 correct in the manual.
707 * Irssi isn't anymore IRC specific client, you could easily take the
708 whole IRC part away and use some other chat protocol instead, or
709 use both at the same time. Currently however, only IRC protocol
710 is supported. See docs/design.txt for more information.
712 * libPropList isn't needed anymore - I'm using my own configuration
713 library. This is mostly because different proplists worked a bit
714 differently everywhere and several people had problems with it.
715 It's also yet another extra library that you needed to compile
716 Irssi. New configuration library has several advantages:
718 You can add comments to configuration file and they also stay
719 there when it's saved.
721 It's not nearly as vulnerable as proplist. If some error occurs,
722 instead of just not reading anything it will try to continue if
723 possible. Also the error messages are written to irssi's text
724 window instead of stdout.
726 It can be managed more easily than proplist - setting/getting the
727 configuration is a lot more easier.
729 * Coding style changes - I'm not using gint, gchar etc. anymore,
730 they're just extra pain when moving code to non-glib projects and
731 syntax hilighting doesn't work by default with most editors ;)
733 Indentation style was also changed to K&R because of some political
734 reasons ;) And I'm already starting to like it.. :) It forces me
735 to split code to different functions more often and the result is
736 that the code gets more readable.
738 And finally I'm also using `const' all over the place.
740 * Signal handlers changed - you don't anymore return value 0 if you
741 wish to stop signal. Instead use signal_stop() or
742 signal_stop_by_name().
744 + Flood protection when sending commands to server works now better.
745 It allows sending first 5 messages immediately, but after that
746 only one message is sent every 2.2 seconds.
748 This is the same flood protection that most IRC servers use, so
749 the only affect this protection has is that when sending a lot of
750 commands to server you won't get kicked out from server because of
753 This can be changed from settings `cmd_max_at_once' and
754 `cmd_queue_speed'. If you want to disable this for some reason, use
755 /SET cmd_queue_speed 0
756 + Split windows in text version, all the normal ircII /WINDOW
757 commands should work: new, kill, grow, shrink, balance, show, hide
758 + /EVAL <commands> - Expand all the special variables from string and
759 run it. Commands can be split with ; character. See
760 docs/special_vars.txt for more info.
761 + Aliases are parsed just like /EVAL - arguments are in $0..$9.
762 + Text formats are also parsed like /EVAL, arguments used to be in
763 $1..$9, now they're in $0..$8 so it messes up existing themes..
764 + /SET [key [value]] - no more the '=' character. Boolean values
765 also need to be changed with ON/OFF/TOGGLE values (not yes/no).
766 + /SAVE [<filename>] - saves the settings to file.
767 /REHASH [<filename>] - re-read the configuration file on the fly
768 + /TOGGLE <key> [ON/OFF] - same as /SET <key> TOGGLE
769 + /ALIAS [-]<alias> [<command>], /UNALIAS <alias>
770 Show, add or remove aliases. /ALIAS -alias = /UNALIAS alias
771 + /NOTIFY [-list] [-away] [-idle [minutes]] <mask> [ircnet [ircnet...]]
772 -away notifies about away-status changes
773 -idle notifies if idle time is first larger than `minutes'
774 (default is hour) and then it drops down.
775 -list lists the notify list entries with all their settings
778 /NOTIFY without any arguments displays if the people in notify
779 list are online or offline.
780 + /HILIGHT [-nick | -regexp | -word] [-color <color>]
781 [-level <level>] [-channels <channels>] <text>
782 -nick: match only for nick
783 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
784 -word: `text' must match to full words
785 -color: print the reply with `color' - color can be a bold (^B),
786 underline (^_) etc. too
787 -level: match only for `level' messages, default is
788 publics,msgs,notices,actions
789 -channels: match only in `channels'
790 /DEHILIGHT <ref#> | <text>
791 + /LASTLOG [-] [-new] [-regexp | -word] [-<level> [...]]
792 [<pattern>] [<count> [<start>]]
793 -: don't print the "Lastlog:" and "End of Lastlog" messages.
794 -new: show only lines since last /LASTLOG
795 -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
796 -word: `text' must match to full words
797 -level: what levels to check, like -public -msgs (default is all)
798 <pattern>: text to search for, or all if empty
799 <count>: maximum number of lines to show
800 <start>: skip the last `start' lines
801 + /IGNORE [-regexp | -word] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except]
802 [-channels <channel>] <mask> <levels> <^levels>
803 -regexp: `pattern' is a regular expression
804 -word: `pattern' must match to full words
805 -pattern: <pattern> must match to the message's text
806 -except: *DON'T* ignore
807 -channels: ignore only in channels
808 <mask>: either a nick mask or list of channels
809 <levels>: list of levels to ignore
810 <^levels>: list of levels to NOT ignore
811 (/ignore -except nick notices = /ignore nick ^notices)
812 /UNIGNORE <ref#> | <mask>
814 The best match always wins, so you can have:
816 /IGNORE -except *!*@host.org CTCPS
817 + /LOG OPEN [-noopen] [-autoopen] [-targets <targets>] [-window]
818 [-rotate hour|day|month] <filename> [<levels>]
819 -noopen: create the entry to log list, but don't start logging
820 -autoopen: automatically open this log file at startup
821 -targets: log only in specified channels/nicks
822 -window: Log this window
823 -rotate: Reopen the log file every hour, day or month. This
824 makes only sense if you specify date/time formats
826 <filename>: File name where to log, it is parsed with strftime(),
827 so %d=day, etc. see "man strftime" for more info.
828 <levels>: Defaults to ALL
829 /LOG CLOSE <ref#> | <fname> - close log and remove from log list
830 /LOG START <ref#> | <fname> - start logging to file
831 /LOG STOP <ref#> | <fname> - stop logging to file
832 /LOG - display the log list
833 NOTE: Log files are locked after opened, so two irssi's can't
834 accidentally try to write to same log file.
835 + /WINDOW LOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE [<filename>]
836 Start/stop logging window, same as /LOG OPEN -window. If file name
837 isn't given, it defaults to ~/irc.log.<windowname> or
838 ~/irc.log.Window<ref#> if window doesn't have name.
839 /WINDOW LOGFILE <filename>
840 Creates the entry to log list, same as /LOG OPEN -window -noopen.
841 Also, if /WINDOW LOG ON is used it starts logging to this file.
842 + /SET AUTOLOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE
843 /SET AUTOLOG_LEVEL <level>
844 /SET AUTOLOG_PATH <path> - expandos can be used, $0 is the target.
845 Enables automatic logging, files are automatically created as
846 needed and after some time of inactivity, they are closed. If you
847 are using multiple servers, it makes sense to use the server tag
848 as part of the file name, for example ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log (this
850 + /SET window_auto_change - if enabled, irssi will automatically
851 change to automatically created windows (like queries). It will
852 also clear your command line and put it to command history so that
853 you don't accidentally write anything to wrong window. You'll get
854 the command back by pressing up arrow.
855 + /SET show_quit_once - show quit message only once instead of in
856 all channel windows the nick was joined.
857 + Server reconnections work better. It will now automatically set
858 your previous user mode and away message (and rejoin the channels,
859 which it already did before) after reconnected. If you use /SERVER
860 to connect to different IRC network, none of this will be done.
861 + /CAT <filename> - prints the file to screen
862 + /SET query_auto_close <secs> - automatically close queries after
863 <secs> seconds. It won't close queries that have unread messages,
864 and it won't close queries in the active window.
866 v0.7.28 2000-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
868 + irssi-text: New improved "text widget". It takes less memory and
869 if you resize the terminal horizonally, the text automatically
870 changes to right size. Several other changes too:
872 /CLEAR only clears the screen, you can still scroll the window up.
873 /SCROLLBACK, or the default alias /SB:
874 /SB CLEAR - Clear screen, free all memory used by texts in window.
875 /SB HOME - Jump to start of the buffer
876 /SB END - Jump to end of the buffer
877 /SB GOTO [[-|+]line#|time] - Jump to specified line or timestamp.
879 -100 jumps back 100 lines, +100 jumps forward 100 lines, or
880 100 simply jumps to 100. line in scrollback.
882 Time is the format [dd.mm | -<days ago>] hh:mi[:ss]
885 /SB GOTO 15:00 - Jump to first text that came after 15:00 today
886 /SB GOTO -1 15:00 - First text after 15:00 yesterday
887 /SB GOTO 1.2 - First text in 1. February
888 /SB GOTO -100 - Jump back 100 lines
889 /SB GOTO +100 - Jump for
891 + After lost connection to server and reconnected or changed the
892 server manually with /SERVER, Irssi will rejoin back to the same
893 channels that you were in before disconnection. They will also be
894 placed to same windows they were, even if you were in same channel
896 + /SERVERS and disconnect dialog displays also servers that are
897 being currently connected and waiting reconnections. You can remove
898 them with /DISCONNECT <tag>.
899 + If you are in multiple irc servers and the active server of the
900 window isn't the same as where the message came from, the message
901 is prefixed with a [server tag].
902 + If you don't specify the path for Perl scripts, Irssi tries to
903 find them from ~/.irssi/scripts/ or /usr/lib/irssi/scripts/
904 directories. Irssi will also run automatically scripts in
905 ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ at startup. Several other updates to
907 + Support for ircII translation tables, /set translation <file>
908 See /usr/share/ircII/translation/* (at least in Debian)
909 + /ACTION <target> <text> - Send action to target (like /ME), target
910 is either #channel, nick or =dcc_char_nick
911 + 5 CTRL-C's in a row quits irssi-text.
912 + %| in themes marks the line indentation position - works only in
914 + You can have several msgs/status windows, one for each server.
915 + Option: start GNOME panel applet at startup
916 + --without-gtk option for configure disables building GTK frontend
917 + /LAST -new shows only the texts that came after latest /LAST.
918 - Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
920 - Several (Perl) compilation problems fixed.
921 - Text hilight color was dark grey, changed to white..
922 - /LAST doesn't display the texts found from previous /LAST blocks
923 - Fixed a few memory leaks
925 v0.7.27 2000-02-25 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
927 * Perl support - finally! Took only a year or so to imlement it ;)
928 Well, I could have done it ages ago but it wouldn't have had
929 all the flexibility it now has - you should be able to do almost
930 anything with perl scripts. See DOCS/PERL for some documentation
931 and examples/ directory for a couple of example scripts.
933 This is the very first version and I haven't even tested that all
934 functions work correctly! Any suggestions are welcome. I don't
935 really like the values() functions so if someone knows better ways
936 to do them I'd really like to hear.
938 BTW. I haven't had time to learn Perl well yet, so my scripts are
939 probably not the best examples.. :)
941 If for some reason you don't wish to use Perl, you can disble it
942 with giving --disable-perl to configure.
944 + /CYCLE [#channel] - parts/rejoins the channel
945 + Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
947 + Server tag generation is a bit smarter now.
948 + irssi-text: Resizing terminal works now right even if your curses
949 don't have resizeterm() function.
950 - /NAMES crashed when done in a non-channel window
951 - irssi-text: Resizing terminal when irssi had some empty windows
953 - toggle_show_nickmode didn't actually do anything :) It was
956 v0.7.26 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
958 - Space (and maybe other keys) didn't work when caps/numlock was on.
960 v0.7.25 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
962 + /WQUERY - create query to current window
963 + Irssi doesn't close the window anymore when using /PART
964 + irssi-text also displays user's address in topic bar in queries.
965 + /NAMES list is now displayed sorted
966 + irssi-text: /WINDOW MOVE PREV|NEXT
967 - Topic bar sometimes displayed some other channel's topic if the
968 channel didn't have a topic.
969 - Irssi automatically changed to auto-created query windows..
970 - When using /WINDOW CLOSE it didn't change to different window
971 - Made fontset_load() optional - it broke some fonts..
972 - Using Ctrl-B (bold) didn't move the cursor
974 v0.7.24 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> [stable]
977 + Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation translation, now with
978 the right pot file name :)
979 + Using fontset_load() instead of font_load(), helps with using
980 some fonts (by hashao@telebot.com)
981 + /TS - display topics of all channels you're joined
982 + Automatically change to the created window
983 + Option: Show op/voice status in channel messages before nick.
984 + irssi-text: Displays topic bar op the top of the screen -
985 /set toggle_show_topicbar = yes|no
986 + Recognize +a (anonymous) and +r (reop when opless) modes
987 + Don't allow any setup file changes or log writing if another irssi
989 + /whois without any arguments gives a whois of yourself
990 - Irc network list was still corrupted in channel dialog.
991 - /LIST dialog - users column is now sorted numerically
992 (10 shows after 9, not after 1)..
993 - Log setup dialog: Clear all button was over Client errors
995 - /LAST's output displayed some crap in log file.
996 - irssi-text should work better with other curses libraries than
998 - irssi-text should work better with non-black backgounds
999 - Fixed tab completion when completion char was comma
1000 - Couple of configure bugs fixed
1001 - Specifying source host (vhosts) didn't work.
1002 - DCC resume had been broken quite a while
1004 v0.7.23 2000-01-23 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1006 + channel's key (+k key) is displayed in irssi-text's statusbar if it
1008 + Nick hilight detector is a bit smarter now, for example if your
1009 nick happens to be "its", "it's blahblah" doesn't trigger it..
1010 + colorless irssi-text (/set colors = no): activity list is split in
1011 two, Act and Det lists. Det displays list of windows where there's
1012 new messages for you.
1013 - /LAST without any parameters crashed
1014 - if queried nick was changed, GUI didn't notice it.
1015 - config file was invalid in .22
1016 - irssi text widget didn't work in .22
1017 - dcc transfers always displayed 0.00kB/s in .22
1019 v0.7.22 2000-01-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1021 + configure displays a summary of things to compile
1022 + /set colors = yes|no, sets colors on/off in irssi-text
1023 + /window goto active now finds first the window with the higest
1024 activity (msgs to you -> msgs -> rest). Alt-A is also default key
1026 + When connection is lost to server, irssi will remember the channels
1027 in windows. After reconnected, (auto)joining to same channels will
1028 join the channels to the old windows.
1029 + Improved hilighting: You can specify what color to hilight the text
1030 with, to channel field type the (mirc) color number, like
1031 "4 #blah" hilights the text with red in channel #blah, both color
1032 and channel(s) are optional. You can also hilight nicks' colors, to
1033 text field type "NICK:nick!mask", like NICK:nick, or
1034 NICK:*!*@*.blah.fi hilights people from blah.fi domain
1035 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1036 - Some kB/s messages displayed wrong values when resuming DCC
1037 transfers. Also, kB/s is now displayed with two decimals
1038 - "Day changed to 00-10-2000" .. month was wrong. No Y2K bugs
1040 - List of ircnets was displyed wrong in server dialog.
1041 - Userhost replies didn't handle ircops right..
1042 - Doesn't quit when receives SIGHUP - some window managers send it
1043 when restarting itself (Afterstep)
1044 - Specifying "source host IP" didn't work (vhosts).
1045 - Using ctrl-b etc. didn't move the cursor forward..
1046 - Don't try to compile GTK parts of plugins if we don't even want
1048 - Doesn't crash when trying to create DCC dialog after being
1049 disconnected from IRC server
1050 - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
1051 - Some transparency fixes, it's a lot faster now when moving the
1052 window, but it's still too slow when creating it, not sure why..
1054 v0.7.21 1999-12-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1056 + Irssi-text: Channel activities are displayed with different colors
1058 + Keeps track of "wanted nick", ie. the nick you specified in the
1059 setup or to /server or /nick. When reconnecting to server it always
1060 tries the wanted nick before falling back to alternate nicks.
1061 + IRC Network specific settings: nick, username, realname,
1062 max. kicks/modes/msgs per command.
1063 + Transparency works
1064 + Automatic logging when you're away. Set it on/off from settings/misc
1065 + /connect and /server changes the server in the current window if
1066 the window isn't channel or query.
1067 + Wallop actions are displayed right
1068 + Ctrl-N/P keys change to previous/next window
1069 + Polish translation updated
1070 + /channel next, /channel prev - changes to next/previous channel in
1071 the current window. Ctrl-X is by default bound to /channel next.
1072 - /WHO could crash irssi
1073 - /join !!channel crashed
1075 v0.7.20.1 1999-11-28 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1077 * I just started #irssi in irc.openprojects.net too.. It's still in
1078 IRCNet too, don't know yet if I'll keep both or drop the other one..
1080 + You can use %n as current nick with aliases
1081 - Closing a window with split windows open crashed
1082 - Channel widgets weren't being updated when joined to channel in
1084 - configure didn't check if we wanted to build MySQL plugin or not,
1085 now it's built only if you give --with-mysql to configure
1086 - Using the whois, ping, etc. buttons in queries crashed
1088 v0.7.20 1999-11-27 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1090 + Polish and finnish translations started
1092 + SQL plugin which doesn't do much, currently supports MySQL only.
1093 Meant to be used by other plugins.
1095 + Botnet to bot plugin - it should already be possible to create a
1096 big bot network with this (each bot having multiple clients +
1097 uplink). The functionality is limited only to BCAST message for
1098 now which sends a message to all bots. Read docs/botnet.txt for my
1101 - If plugins failed in initialization (plugin_init()), irssi could
1103 - Server settings (nick, realname, etc.) were saved to different
1104 place in configuration file than where they were read from..
1105 So, saving them didn't really work.
1106 - Plugin autoloading didn't work
1107 - When trying to show channel's window from panel and you weren't
1108 using helvetica font (itext's internal default), irssi crashed..
1109 - Irssi crashed if you didn't have menubar enabled and didn't
1111 - When invalid theme was found from global directory, irssi
1112 complained about it every time. Now the fixed theme is saved to
1113 ~/.irssi/ directory and used thereafter.
1114 - Deleting ircnets didn't work right
1116 v0.7.19 1999-11-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1118 * Text formats changed - they should be compatible with epic/bx now.
1119 See docs/FORMATS for more information
1121 + Internationalization support - finally. No languages yet though..
1123 + /window new split creates a new splitted window
1124 + Automatic text replaces, useful for things like :9 -> :) .. This
1125 is actually almost same as completions, except they are activated
1126 with different keys..
1127 + Nicklist popup menu is configurable
1128 + ~/.irssi/startup - add all commands here you want to run at startup
1129 + Much more levels for ignoring/logging/etc. See docs/COMMANDS for a
1131 + Ignoring joins, parts, etc. work, ignoring channels work
1132 + Automatically loading plugins at startup works in irssi-text and
1134 + Autoaccept dcc get/chat from given nick/address
1136 + Server/Links dialog, displays list of servers in tree view.
1137 Doubleclicking a hub asks the servers behind the hub (doesn't seem
1139 + /server +irc.server.net does the same as /connect irc.server.net
1140 + Nicklist is resizeable
1141 + Buttons for closing and moving window left/right
1142 + Query windows display nick's address in topic widget and the
1143 address isn't displayed in every msg in query windows.
1144 + It's possible to add bold/colors/etc to default quit message
1145 + MIRC colors are finally displayed with right colors
1146 + You can run multiple command in alias, separate them with &&.
1147 You can create a & character with \&
1148 + Hilighting changes: Your own /msgs won't trigger channel activity,
1149 received private messages get the "new text" color
1150 + /MODE accepts multiple modes at once and they're split automatically
1151 to 3 modes/command, like /MODE #chan +oooooo nick1,nick2,.. is
1152 split to two commands which are sent to server.
1153 + /KICK, /MSG, /NOTICE, /CTCP and /NCTCP are also automatically split
1154 into multiple real commands. /KICK can kick max. 4 nicks per
1155 command, privmsg/notice can send max. 3 nicks per command.
1156 + Option: Show timestamps in msgs.
1157 - Joining to channel from channels dialog that had password set
1159 - When scrolling, Irssi text widget sometimes left black spots in
1160 text area if some other window was overlaping it.
1161 - DCC resumes still didn't work
1162 - Fixed some memory leaks
1164 v0.7.18.1 1999-11-04 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1166 - Window didn't scroll if you were using GtkText
1167 - Resuming DCC transfers could mess up the existing transfers with
1169 - Some PONGs were displayed on screen if you were enough lagged..
1170 - --help works now without gnome (gtk/text versions)
1171 - Sending data to irc server/dcc chats/proxy's clients/etc. won't
1172 block forever anymore - I once got it to happen with proxy..
1173 - Some fixes for channel limit/key widgets above nicklist
1174 - Speech plugin works now right with timestamps enabled
1175 - irssibot (gui-none) doesn't crash at startup anymore and it doesn't
1176 link with ui-common anymore. Also added a --load / -l command line
1177 option to specify what plugin to load at startup. Default = bot
1179 v0.7.18 1999-10-18 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
1181 * Finally a version I dare to call stable :) Just a bugfix release
1182 for 0.7.17 but it had only a few problems..
1184 * Status window is now off by default
1186 - Sound and speech plugins weren't working.
1187 - Proxy plugin shouldn't crash now while not connected to server
1188 - Using some menuitems crashed when using the popup menus instead of
1190 - Removed a Gdk-Critical warning when opening themes dialog without
1192 - When resuming DCC transfers the average transfer rate was incorrect
1193 - If you tried to connect to server while themes dialog was open,
1195 - Several problems fixed with changing background pixmaps
1196 - Fixes for building from different directory
1197 - Trying to save theme crashed..
1199 v0.7.17 1999-10-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1201 + Irssi text widget! (replaces zvt)
1202 - supports proportional fonts
1204 - background pixmaps (scaled, tiled, scrollable, shaded)
1206 + Proxy plugin - Unlike other irc proxies, this is more than just a
1207 simple proxy. You can connect to it from multiple clients at the
1208 same time, but each client will use the _same_ irc session, so you
1209 can keep one irc client open all the time in your home, one at
1210 work, one at wc, etc. All the clients get the same "normal"
1211 messages from server, but if you request a /whois or /who or some
1212 other commands, the reply will be sent to only the client that
1213 requested it. Check README how to use it.
1215 + Irssi is now much faster catching up things after joined to
1216 channel, it asks channels' MODE and WHO first, all with the same
1217 command (WHO #a,#b,#c), after them it asks the ban lists etc. less
1219 + Workaround for GTK themes eating X server's memory
1220 + Command line arguments:
1221 -c server [-p port] : connects to server at startup
1222 -! : don't autoconnect to any servers
1223 -n : specify nick to use (override setup)
1224 + Server lag displayed in statusbar, you can also set irssi to
1225 automatically disconnect from server if it is too lagged
1226 + Channel limit and key is displayed above nicklist
1227 + Number of ops and total number of nicks in channel is displayed
1228 + Nicklist background color can be changed
1229 + Each window can have it's own command history buffer
1230 + Try to let the server disconnect the socket (5 sec timeout) to make
1231 sure that quit message gets through.
1232 + Improved /gwhois dialog
1233 + Setup dialogs are resizeable
1234 + You can specify what port to use with DCC.
1235 - Channel dialog fixes: after editing channel, it was moved to the
1236 end of the list, opening multiple channels edit dialogs didn't
1238 - Reconnecting to server didn't work (always)
1239 - Giving multiple nicks for /gwhois messed up irssi
1241 v0.7.16 1999-09-13 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1243 + Started bot plugin, it has simple user management functions and
1244 auto-opping/voicing done (but it does it well :)
1245 + "channel synced" text doesn't trigger channel activity anymore
1246 + Rawlog displays where event was redirected
1247 + /wjoin - you can join multiple channels in same window
1248 + /window goto #channel - moves you to window with the
1249 channel, query or dcc chat
1250 + /window goto active - moves you to first window with activity
1251 + /list and /names complains if they're run without any arguments,
1253 + Giving -nogui parameter to /list and /who commands doesn't use the
1255 + All the dialogs that have clist widget: you can resize columns and
1256 sort the list by clicking the headers
1257 + /list and /who dialogs displays total number of items and the list
1259 + Autojoining to channels work with irssi-text too
1260 + /gwhois dialog has now refresh button, /gwhois is used when clicking
1261 whois from nicklist popup menu
1262 - Restoring saved window size didn't work very accurately, restoring
1263 position also had some problems..
1264 - Rawlog doesn't crash anymore if not connected to server
1265 - Notifylist and checking of who uses your nick uses WHOIS again,
1266 WHO didn't display user info unless s/he was -i or in same
1268 - You had to run /list a couple of times until it worked..
1269 - WHO was sent to people who joined channel to find out who they
1270 were, unfortunately it had a small bug and didn't work..
1271 - DCC didn't work with IPv6
1273 v0.7.15-3 1999-08-31 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1275 * _TOO_ many bugs in .15, mostly compilation problems, I really
1276 should test things better when I release them. This will be the
1277 last time, I swear :)
1279 + Rawlog window, /rawlog <file name> also saves it.
1280 + --without-imlib configure switch
1281 - After opened themes dialog, "(none)" window appeared, after opening
1283 - "day changed" message was displayed at startup
1284 - Addresses in DCC connections were displayed wrong
1285 - Didn't compile without gnome
1286 - The first .15 didn't compile without IPv6 support, -2 fixed it
1288 v0.7.15 1999-08-29 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1290 * Only week since last version, much better :) Lots of internal
1291 changes, hope they work right. No "weird crashes" found since last
1292 version, 0.8.0 can't be too far away :)
1294 CVS is also working again, no anonymous but I can give access if
1297 + IPv6 support - yet another thing irssi is one of the first to
1298 support ;) Give --enable-ipv6 switch to configure to compile it.
1299 Because of IPv6 addresses naming style (xxx:xxx:xxx..), /server
1300 server:port doesn't work anymore, you have to use /server
1301 server port instead.
1303 + Sound plugin updates, should work much better
1304 + Default config file is build into irssi, it's used if no other
1305 configuration file is found
1306 + Implemented "idle queue", list of commands which should be sent to
1307 server when there's nothing else to send.. Changed CTCPs to use
1309 + "massjoin" signal is sent when people join to channel, if many
1310 people join to channel quickly (netjoins), it waits for a while
1311 before everyone are joined and then sends the signal. This is used
1312 to update nicklist more quickly and some other internal stuff.
1313 + /msg <tab> completion: after you send msg to someone, the nick will
1314 go first in completion list.
1315 + Giving --with-servertest to configure now builds test irc server
1316 which you can use to try crash irc clients :)
1317 + /sv displays system name and revision and irssi's website url
1318 + You can give server password to /server as /server server port pass
1319 + /unban completion, eg. /unban *!*@*.de unbans *!*@hu232hu2.blah.de
1320 + /rmreconns removes all servers from reconnect list. I hate it when
1321 some server is down and irssi tries to reconnect it every 5 minutes
1322 and there was no way to cancel it..
1323 + Displays day change message in all windows if you're using
1325 + Realname is displayed in statusbar when mouse is moved over nick
1327 + /last displays the last buffer only from the current window
1328 + option: beep when you receive private message
1329 + Typing /dcc without any arguments is same as /dcc list
1330 + Some code rearranging, moved more code to ui-common from gui-xxx
1331 + IPv6 for /ban, it bans all the last 64k addresses .. not sure if
1332 it's THAT good idea but did it anyway.
1333 - DCC resume was broken.
1334 - If someone quit from one ircnet but stayed on another, the nick was
1335 removed from both ircnets' channels.
1336 - Irssi tried to find it's default config from
1337 $prefix/etc/irssi/irssi/config (one irssi too much :)
1338 - You couldn't use ~/ when saving window buffer
1339 - Trying to save window buffer twice crashed irssi
1340 - ZVT transparency couldn't be removed on the fly
1341 - Using find/new/close buttons in toolbar crashed
1342 - Doesn't complain anymore about "You're not channel operator" with
1343 some irc networks that don't understand e or I modes
1344 - /ban removed ident-character from username (~blah@ -> blah@) so bans
1346 - /knockout calculated the time left wrongly.
1347 - irssi added -I/usr/include to compile parameters which broke
1348 compiling with several platforms..
1349 - Irssibot notified about new development version when there was none
1350 - Some problems/crashes fixed with plugin support
1351 - --without-socks didn't do anything..
1352 - Password should first be sent to server first, not after nick/user.
1353 At least MUH (irc proxy) didn't like it.
1355 v0.7.14 1999-08-22 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
1357 !!! My E-mail changed to cras@irccrew.org, don't use the old one
1360 * Hm.. Again a month since last version, 3 weeks should be max :)
1361 Hopefully this one will be bugfree, so I could finally release a
1362 "stable" version.. (somehow I think I'll end up with 0.7.14-2
1365 * Irssi uses now libPropList to read and save configuration file, so
1366 you need to have libPropList installed, it's also in different
1367 format so your old config file doesn't work anymore.
1369 Configuration file is located now in ~/.irssi/config file.
1370 Themes are also now stored in separate files in ~/.irssi/*.theme
1372 + Irssi can now notify you about new versions, you can also directly
1373 download them with DCC. (This will probably be changed to HTTP
1374 instead of using irssibot in IRC..)
1376 + User interface changes (settings, menus) as suggested by
1377 James M. Cape <jcape@jcinteractive.com>
1378 + You can use ctrl-b,c,g,v,- when setting realname
1379 + /version [server] - prints irssi version and irc server's version
1380 + /ver [nick/channel] - sends ctcp version to nick/channel
1381 + /sv [nick/channel] - sends irssi version text to nick/channel
1382 + Added widget depends to several places, changed several modal
1383 dialogs to use gui_widget_depends() instead
1384 + Added Socks5 initialization, maybe it works now?
1385 + You can specify what host address you want to use if you have many..
1386 + Away and kick reason dialog have history
1387 + irssi-text option: activity list can be sorted by window number
1388 You can change this with /set toggle_actlist_moves=yes/no
1389 + /msg <text><tab> completes now people in current channel too
1390 + You can set channel password in channel dialog

1394 + DCC GET now gets all the files coming from user if file name isn't
1395 specified. DCC CLOSE also can close all dcc connections from user.
1396 + The whole usermode is now displayed in statusbar, it used to display
1397 only the modes it knew (+iwsr)
1398 + Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P go to next/previous window
1399 - When using zvt and joining to new channels, window size grew bigger
1400 - /msg <tab> completion was a bit buggy, if someone sent you multiple
1401 messages, you had to press tab multiple times until the nick changed
1403 - Defaut format for signon time in whois displayed nick instead of
1405 - Disconnecting server while it was still trying to connect hung irssi
1406 - If old configuration file wasn't found, irssi (could have?) crashed
1407 on startup .. Could this really happen?!? Why did nobody tell me??
1408 - irssi-text finally handles screen resizing right
1409 - Gnome panel applet works with "old" (like non-cvs now :) panels
1411 - If you left from channel before syncing was done, syncing stopped
1413 - Removing ban exceptions didn't update irssi's internal list
1414 - Rejecting dcc chat didn't work properly, when receiving reject
1415 get/send irssi didn't remove it from dcc lists
1416 - Save/find dialogs weren't working after being closed.
1417 - irssi-text complained about "Not enough parameters given" when
1418 pressing entry in empty line
1419 - Mirc colors weren't removed properly for logs and could have
1421 - Using /ban with mask (x!x@x) instead of nick crashed
1422 - gui_widget_depends() wasn't working properly - didn't harm much :)
1424 v0.7.13-2 1999-07-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1426 * Again, a small bugfix release
1428 + You can specify what string to send to IRC proxy after connected,
1429 this lets at least some proxies work with irssi.
1430 + Notifylist now displays which irc network nick joined/left (or if
1432 - After closing some window, the numbers in window tabs didn't get
1434 - /window next and prev didn't work properly
1435 - status/msgs windows got destroyed a while after joining to channel..
1436 or simply by doing "/mode (status)" command ..
1437 - We don't try to DCC SEND file via dcc chat if the other side is
1439 - Default setting or autodetection of mirc ctcps weren't working.
1440 - Actions from mirc users in dcc chat was displayed in double.
1442 v0.7.13 1999-07-21 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1444 * %p in text formats is changed to $, looks much cleaner :) Old
1445 formats in configuration files are automatically converted.
1447 * I got some documentation done! :) I wrote a list of all commands
1448 irssi knows with (very) short descriptions, see COMMANDS file
1450 + Hebrew support by Ronen Tzur <rtzur@shani.net> - see README-HEBREW
1451 + Users with gone-flag are displayed with different color in nicklist
1452 List is updated with USERHOST commands in small pieces every now and
1454 + Statusbar with some information in it ..
1455 + Away message is displayed differently in /whois and /msged people
1457 + /window goto <n>, /window prev, /window next
1458 + /window level [+/-]pub/msgs/...
1459 /window level msgs - creates messages window
1460 /window level all -msgs - creates status window
1461 + /bantype <normal/host/domain/custom>
1462 - Normal - *!user@*.domain.net
1463 - Host - *!*@host.domain.net
1464 - Domain - *!*@*.domain.net
1465 - Custom [nick] [user] [host] [domain]
1466 eg. /bantype custom nick domain - nick!*@*.domain.net
1467 eg. /bantype custom user host - *!user@host.domain.net
1468 + /version - just displays version number..
1469 + You can use different font in each channel
1470 + Alt-q..o changes channels to 11..19
1471 + Color configuration changes..
1472 + irssi-text : Reading manuals help ;) Text's backgound color isn't
1473 changed to black anymore so pixmaps etc. should show up nicely :)
1474 + /notify nick!mask@* [ircnets], /unnotify
1475 + When trying to connect to server, you can abort it with the
1476 cancel button in statusbar
1477 + First parameter of /disconnect is now * (current server) or
1479 + You can now use !channels with their short names (not always)

1483 + Panel applet supports panel size changes
1484 + Window tabs have numbers now
1485 + Ctrl-N changes to next window, Ctrl-P changes to previous window
1486 - Max. autoget size didn't work right, it got the file if the file was
1487 bigger than the max. size.. and it was compared as bytes, not kB's.
1488 - Panel applet should now work right
1489 - Hilight words feature was completely broken
1490 - DCC Chats were displayed twice in status dialog
1491 - Closing DCC chat still had a few problems
1492 - After trying to join to channel where you could get in (invite only,
1493 banned, etc.) the created channel window wasn't destroyed.
1494 - configure didn't check -lnsl right..
1495 - Channel settings weren't read in the correct order -> autojoining
1496 to channels created the windows in reverse order every time.
1497 - ZVT in GNOME CVS broke irssi.. Fixed.
1498 - Quit message wasn't displayed if there was some commands waiting
1499 for transmit - quit was added to transmit queue and connection
1501 - Matching irc masks (nick!host@address) was case-sensitive..
1503 v0.7.12 1999-07-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1505 * #irssi is now started in IRCnet
1507 * Release #2 :) The next day..
1508 + configure checks for -lnsl too
1509 + changed default font to fixed size so I wouldn't have to hear all
1510 the time how screen is messed up with zvt :)
1511 - background color couldn't be changed with zvt
1512 - irssi-text sometimes crashed at startup because of uninitialized
1514 - you had to use --without-gnome-panel even if you didn't build
1517 + Colorless theme, should be easy to start a new theme with using
1518 this. You need to copy the [theme:colorless] section to
1519 ~/.irssi.conf (or ~/.gnome/irssi whatever you happen to use..) from
1520 included irssi.conf to use this..
1521 + You can DCC send and get files via DCC chat (don't need to be
1522 connected to server), don't know if this works with any other client
1523 or if any other client has this ability.. BitchX didn't seem to
1525 + /WALL [#channel] message - Send notice to all ops in channel
1526 + /last [-pub -msgs etc..] <text> for text mode version
1527 + Text mode version statusbar: -- more --, away (zZzZ)
1528 + The "-!-" and "-!- Irssi:" texts and timestamp is now configurable
1529 + Channel windows aren't destroyed anymore after getting disconnected
1531 + Outgoing flood protection: all commands you send to server are are
1532 queued and sent every 2 seconds. (if queue is empty, the command is
1534 + Notify list popup dialogs are now optional
1535 + /unalias (you could already do this with /alias)
1536 + You can send Mirc style CTCPs now in DCC chat (preferences/dcc),
1537 also if mirc user first sends ctcp, it's automatically set to
1538 default for that dcc chat session.. You can also set it with
1539 /mircdcc [y|n] or select from menu.
1540 + Default color number in setup, this color is used if nothing else
1542 + Server reconnection - you can add several irc servers to setup with
1543 same ircnet and autoconnect set and irssi goes through that list
1544 every time server gets disconnected unintentionally.
1545 + irssi-text word splits the lines. also if it needs to split the line
1546 it leaves 10 empty spaces at the start of the next line.
1547 + --without-gnome-panel switch to configure
1548 - http://blah@a.b opened e-mail client instead of http client
1549 - I set the socket non-blocking AFTER connect(), argh! This caused
1550 irssi to hang when trying to dcc get from bogus IPs or something.
1551 - Background color wasn't read right
1552 - Log dialog had some bugs
1553 - Banning ip addresses didn't work right
1554 - Some DCC problems fixed..
1555 - Some irssi-text bugs fixed
1557 v0.7.11 1999-06-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1559 * Because of the color system changes, remove the [colors]
1560 section from irssi's configuration file or you will get some weird
1563 The colors are pretty much taken from BitchX, IMO it looks nice :)
1564 But somehow I think many of you don't like it, so I made theme
1565 selector. Just need to make a few default themes..
1567 + Color system changed, the old one looked pretty ugly especially in
1568 text mode version.. You can now have more than one color/line by
1569 adding %fg[,bg] codes to text formats.. fg and bg are the normal
1570 0-15 colors, in GUI version (without ZVT) you can use up to 99
1571 user specified colors.
1573 + Text mode version: Entry line editing is working great! Command line
1574 history works, scrollback buffer works, statusbar is working (again,
1575 copying bitchx..), reads configuration file .. This is starting to
1577 + ZVT working better: font can be changed, transparency and background
1578 pixmap can be changed on the fly, the ugly block cursor isn't
1579 displayed anymore and wordclicking (urls, etc.) works.
1580 + New GUI dialogs for /list, /who, /gwhois and when receiving invites
1582 + Channels dialog changed a bit. New "Quick join" dialog where you can
1583 specify server and channel to join
1584 + Mirc DCC resumes are working. By Trever Adams
1585 (trever_adams@bigfoot.com)
1586 + List of text strings to hilight
1587 + Notify dialog is created when someone in notify list joins irc.
1588 + Nick completion improvements, /msg nick<tab> works and in channels
1589 you can complete nicks anywhere in the entry.
1590 + Window save size/position dialog
1591 + DCC send added to popup menus
1592 + Removing lines from GtkText is really slow, so now they're removed
1593 with several lines at a time. (default is 20)
1594 + /window new [hidden] creates new window, /window server <server tag>
1595 changes server in current channel, useful in text mode version..
1596 + You can try to find memory leaks with giving --with-memdebug switch
1598 - Still some bugs with DCC SEND fixed..
1599 - DCC list dialog crashed if there were dcc chats open, it also caused
1600 some random crashes when running..
1601 - Maybe window size/position saving finally works right?
1602 - g_(s)list_remove_link() didn't work as I had always thought .. It
1603 moves the link into separate list and doesn't free memory used by
1604 it like I thought.. So, inserted a few g_list_free_1() calls.
1605 - When not using menubars, popup menu should have displayed all the
1606 items in it, it got broken in .10.
1607 - signal_add_after() didn't work right.. actually it had a wrong name
1608 too, changed to signal_add_first() and made it to run these events
1609 before the normal events. This makes ignoring work again.
1611 - Configuration file handling (GTK version) was still a bit buggy..
1612 - Lots of small bug fixes here and there..
1614 v0.7.10 1999-05-09 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1616 * ALL KNOWN CRASHES FIXED !! Weird, after changing the code with
1617 creating channels to empty windows, GtkText widget started working
1618 again, it used to crash after running the test ircserver for a
1619 while.. Maybe a few more versions and I'll release a "stable"
1620 labeled version again (08.0).
1622 + GNOME version can use ZVT widget to draw texts. This is a lot faster
1623 than GtkText and with it you can use nice non-scrolling backgrounds
1624 and transparency! However, you'll have to use the default colors
1625 with it for now and Window/Save Buffer or Find doesn't work in it.
1626 !!NOTE!! ZVT in gnome 1.0.9 is buggy, it sometimes crashes when
1627 destroying zvt widget (leaving channels). It should be fixed in next
1628 version (which doesn't currently exist..)
1629 + DCC transfer dialog, display list of all going dcc transfers, the
1630 old dialogs can also be created.
1631 + Channel specific background pixmaps, if you don't have Imlib you can
1632 use only .xpm images.
1633 + /ban and /unban changed, they accept multiple arguments and channel
1634 name may be specified as the first argument
1635 + dcc actions from mirc should work now
1636 - Text widget size is now saved instead of the window's size, should
1638 - Right clicking text widget created a popup menu, but select
1639 selection got broken after it
1640 - Some potential bugs fixed after got kicked from channel
1641 - Log dialog was buggy
1642 - If dcc chat was closed but the query window was still there, trying
1643 to chat again with the same nick created another query window but
1645 - C-C, C-B, etc. add the character at the end of the entry, not at the
1647 - Redirecting commands was a bit buggy, it always expected to receive
1648 the specified events. This worked with ISON command, but I forgot
1649 that WHOIS could also return "no such nick" events.. So, notifylist
1650 should now work right instead of sometimes printing whois results.
1651 - You couldn't use the normal control-? keys (c-left, c-right,
1653 - mirc colors were displayed with wrong colors
1654 - Changed all isspace(), isdigit() and isalnum() calls to cast their
1655 argument as (gint) to remove warnings when compiling with IRIX.
1656 - Speech plugin wasn't working again..
1657 - After changing text format from setup, you couldn't change any
1658 other lines without closing setup dialog first
1659 - Font couldn't be changed by editing the entry line
1660 - /knockout format changed, it's now /knockout [timeout] nick reason
1661 (so the reason can have number at the start of it..), it also used
1662 to crash when unbanning
1663 - DCC send fixed, fast send didn't work and without it it was eating
1665 - DCC sending files with spaces in their name didn't work (they're
1668 v0.7.9 1999-04-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1670 + Server/status dialog, displays list of all connected servers,
1671 channels, queries and dcc chats.
1672 + Host resolving is now done in a child processes. Hopefully works
1673 better than threads which aren't used anywhere anymore..
1674 + Window/Save window size and Save window position, next time the same
1675 window (status, msgs, channel, query) is opened the saved size
1676 and/or position will be used.
1677 + gui_widget_depends_data(), widget will be automatically destroyed
1678 if the specified signal is called with the specified argument. Used
1679 to destroy DCC request dialogs when they're closed manually, timed
1680 out or rejected at the other end..
1681 - Fixed lots of memory leaks which some might have caused crashes..
1682 src/memdebug.c has the debug functions I used ..
1683 - DCC CLOSE closed always the last dcc connection instead of the one
1684 that matched the parameters
1685 - Commented out all GUI_INPUT_EXCEPTIONs .. I don't even know when
1686 exceptions are sent and why (I thought that only when some error
1687 occured..), Linux doesn't seem to send them ever? IRIX however sends
1688 them all the time which made irssi eating all cpu.
1689 - Fixed compiling gui-text with systems that had only slang/slang.h
1690 - gui_widget_depends() had some bugs
1691 - adding irc networks by typing it's name when adding server didn't
1692 update the GUI of ircnets list.
1693 - If some plugins were already loaded, and loading new plugin failed
1694 and it called plugin_deinit(), the call (might have) called some
1695 other plugin's plugin_deinit() and crash.. Some updated to change
1696 all global plugin functions to plugin_name_* calls so they wouldn't
1697 call other modules functions..
1698 - If day changed when logging, the log file contained the day change
1699 lines before each line after that..
1700 - Channel labels were hilighted even when the channel was selected..
1702 v0.7.8 1999-04-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1704 * This version has lots of internal changes, I haven't tried them
1705 much so hopefully everything works right..
1707 + external plugin, reads commands from named pipe and executes them
1708 + sample plugin updated, creating new plugins should when based on
1710 + gui-none is built, it tries to run bot plugin which doesn't exist..
1711 + Moved the configuration code to the lowest level, made settings
1712 to be common with all guis.
1713 + /set command: /set [category[/key[=value]]] [all]
1714 + /alias, /ignore and /unignore commands work again
1715 + Nick completion finally working, and better than ever (unless it
1716 has bugs of course ;). It tries to be smart when completing, first
1717 it checks if someone with same letters had recently written message
1718 to you, then it checks for nicks that recently wrote messages and
1719 finally for the rest of the nicks in channel. Clicking tab more
1720 scans the list. Clicking tab in empty line completes to /msg <nick
1721 who sent you last message>. Before trying to complete nicks, tab
1722 completion checks if the word is in setup's completion list.
1723 + Wrote some functions to make possible handling events in different
1724 places depending where the command which created the event was sent.
1725 This is useful for example to notify list which needs to send ISON
1726 requests but user should still be able to use /ison command
1727 normally (this has always worked btw).
1728 + Notify list's notify event now displays user's host and real name
1729 (made with the previous functions which grabbed WHOIS). Notify list
1730 GUI also updated for this
1731 + You can use user/host masks with notify lists, wildcards are
1732 allowed. Nick must always be specified (could be fixed but everyone
1733 is invisible anyway so it would be useless). Examples:
1734 friend!*friend*@*, friend_!*friend*@*,
1735 another!*@*.blah.com, altnick!*@*.blah.com
1736 + "your nick is owned by blah (blah@blah.org)" when connected
1737 + Text formats page uses now GtkText widget, it displays colors too.
1738 It's not perfect but better than before...
1739 + There's now three different colors indicating what's happened in
1740 channel: red = some text was written there, bright red = public
1741 message, magenta = public message to you
1742 + Ignore checking is now done by stopping the entire signal so
1743 plugins etc. don't have to deal with them.
1744 + You can use user/host masks with ignores
1745 + Autoraise (in window menu) window when new message comes to channel
1746 + Channel settings: You can specify list of bots (masks) and command
1747 to send the first one found bot (nice for auto-opping ourself)
1748 - Changing user modes from menus didn't work. Moved the menu under
1750 - Speech plugin problems fixed.. It didn't compile without gnome
1751 libraries and with gnome libraries it didn't say anything because
1752 for some reason one line in sources was commented out..
1753 - IRC network things and server password didn't work because of stupid
1755 - Configuration file handling was a bit broken in GTK version
1756 - Rewrote menu handling in GTK version, it was crashing when trying
1759 v0.7.7 1999-04-05 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1761 + speech plugin :) This is currently made to work with festival
1762 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/), it's not very usable
1763 but nice to play with :)
1764 + C-b (bold), C-c (color), C-g (bell), C-v (reverse), C-- (underline)
1765 keys work now but they don't display anything in entry line.
1766 + Beel character beeps are now optional
1767 + Fixes and new features for plugins. Each plugin has now it's own
1768 menu under plugin menu and "Unload" menuitem there by default.
1769 - GTK version didn't build .. again..
1770 - I broke DCC send in 0.7.5
1771 - SIGPIPE is ignored, maybe fixes some "crashes" when server
1772 connection is lost (I never got this btw.)
1773 - Using irssi with click to focus sent commands to window where mouse
1775 - Fixed some bugs when scrollback buffer got full (GTK's text widget
1776 seems to crash sometimes with small scrollback buffer and _lots_ of
1778 - Plugin dialog didn't show any plugins
1779 - Plugins are now created with automake things to make them portable
1780 for compilers/linkers that don't work with -shared switch. The
1781 disadvantage is that a lot of unnecessary files are created for
1782 each plugin (.a, .la, .so.0, .so.0.0, .so.0.0.0) while irssi uses
1783 only libplugin.so, could be fixed somehow but too difficult for me..
1784 - Joining to +k channel crashed
1786 v0.7.6 1999-03-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1788 * New default colors .. I think they're better, not the best possible
1789 but anyway, I'm not good with these :)
1790 + Text mode version working again with colors! :)
1791 + New settings/servers dialog, changed connect and channels dialogs.
1792 You can now automatically connect to multiple servers at startup.
1793 All this made by Kari Lavikka (tuner@bdb.fi)
1794 + Server password support
1796 + Right clicking the channel name in panel pops up channel menu
1797 + private ctcp and notice messages now show up in query windows if
1798 it exists for sender
1799 - Fixed logging a bit, you can now log stuff from nicks without
1800 having query window for them.
1801 - If time stamps were enabled, log files had time stamps twice in each
1803 - Color settings had some bugs
1804 - GNOME version crashed if ~/.irssi.conf didn't exist .. because I
1805 read the configuration file before gnome_init() which was necessary
1806 for "create gnome panel applet" option in setup -> removed it
1808 v0.7.5 1999-03-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1810 * Text mode version is broken and isn't built.
1811 * Configuration file has changed quite a lot, might be better if you
1812 would just erase the old one.. Server configuration is also going
1815 + Plugins are back! But unfortunately I can't get perl plugin to work.
1816 See TODO for more information.
1817 + I divided setup dialogs to separate windows and grouped the options
1818 to different frames so they actually make some sense now :) Also
1820 - Create GNOME panel applet
1821 - Lots of DCC options, the page looked so lonely that I had
1822 to put more options there :)
1823 - get: autorename file if it exists (currently this is
1825 - autoget: max. file size to get
1826 - fast send (don't wait for responses from the other
1827 side, just keep sending the data..)
1831 + Checks for slang/slang.h too ..
1832 + Text mode version doesn't have my name/nick hardcoded in it
1833 anymore :) Uses IRCNAME and IRCNICK environment variables.
1834 + Status window is now optional, when enabled it grabs all
1835 "status" messages there. This needed quite a lot of inner changes,
1837 + /nctcp - send ctcp reply
1838 + Window size is now saved when quitting and it's used when creating
1839 windows in next session
1840 - Fixed lots of GLib-CRITICAL messages when disconnected from server
1841 while it was still trying to find ip address.
1842 - Window/find should now scroll to right position and it doesn't
1843 corrupt the text widget with inserting new texts to found texts
1844 positions.. It's also case-insensitive now.
1845 - Fixed compile error when building without gnome panel..
1847 v0.7.4 1999-03-13 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1849 + Applet for GNOME panel working again
1850 + You don't have to specify --without-gnome anymore, configure checks
1851 this for you (finally)
1852 + Some widget packing changes and tooltips for channel mode buttons
1853 by Kari Lavikka <tuner@bdb.fi>
1854 + Window/find moves the scrollbar to position where you can
1855 actually see the found text (usually, find prev misses it
1857 - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog still wasn't working.
1858 - Channel mode buttons didn't change if channel wasn't focused
1859 - I added separators to menus in v0.7.3, but forgot to make GTK
1860 version work with them
1861 - Closing DCC chat crashed
1862 - Destroying window with WM now really destroys the window, no hide
1863 it like it used to..
1864 - Several fixes with window handling..
1866 v0.7.3 1999-03-11 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1868 * Text mode version is not called irssi-text so make install can
1869 install both of them without overwriting the other..
1870 + Window menu: find text, save window buffer, close window, new,
1871 new tabbed .. And lots of fixing code to make empty windows
1873 + After kicked from channel, the window isn't destroyed
1874 - While connecting to server and receiving "nick is temporarily
1875 unavailable" irssi didn't try different nick but got just stuck
1878 v0.7.2 1999-03-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1880 + GUI for logging, /log start, /log stop
1881 + You can drag file from GMC over to nick in nicklist to send the file
1883 + Nicklist changed to GtkCList, ops and voices are marked with
1884 pixmaps (stolen from X-Chat, someone want to do better ones?). Had
1885 to be done because adding drag'n'drop to GtkList was too slow..
1886 - Pretty bad bugs with GTK version fixed, using several dialogs'
1888 - WHOIS's idle line displayed seconds wrong. Maybe I finally got it
1889 fixed right this time.. :)
1890 - Unknown commands still didn't work. They were sent to server with
1891 the / character at start..
1893 v0.7.1 1999-03-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1895 * The 0.7.0 was actually quite stable, I thought it would crash all
1896 the time by itself and do some weird things :)
1897 * Hopefully now that GTK 1.2 is finished more people start using it
1898 and don't ask me to continue supporting GTK 1.0. So, this version
1899 requires GTK 1.1/1.2.
1901 + Started gui-text.. Should work somehow :) Prefers SLang but should
1902 work with curses also, except in X terminals I couldn't get colors
1904 + Logging, still lacks GUI.
1907 /log create <filename> [<+/->level ...] [#channel/nick [
1908 [<+/->level ...] ...]
1909 /log close <filename>
1912 Example: /log create mylog -all +msgs #linux +chan +public +notices
1913 (or simply #linux +all logs everything that appears in #linux
1916 You can use these levels, ALL is set by default:
1917 ALL, CRAP, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS, SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC,
1918 CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
1919 + Automatically create query window when received msg (option)
1920 + No more "WHO: unknown commmand"s, all unknown commands are sent to
1921 server just like they were written
1922 + Working again: msgs window, aliases, /kickban, /knockout
1923 + Changed quite a lot of GString's to g_strdup_printf
1924 + cleaned configure.in
1925 - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog didn't work.
1926 - Writing to DCC chat only sent the first word..
1927 - setting ircnet to server record was done without strdup()ing from
1928 setup server record, so after disconnecting preferences or
1929 reconnecting could have crashed.
1931 v0.7.0 1999-02-25 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1933 * Lots and lots and LOTS of rewriting code. Hope you like it :) At
1934 least I do, mostly. GUI still needs rewriting but.. well, it works
1937 The [unstable] tag in this version really means that IT IS UNSTABLE.
1938 See TODO for what features that 0.6.0 have are still missing.
1940 Because of the new great signaling system :) lots of things can be
1941 done easier. Now all the dialogs should be up to date, like channel
1942 mode dialog. When you receive ops, widgets come sensitive, when you
1943 lose your ops, the widgets become unsensitive.
1945 irssi source is now also divided in to separate directories:
1947 irc-base: this shouldn't change much, it has all basic functionality
1948 needed to create a working IRC client.
1950 irc-extra: all kinds of extra functionality: dcc, flood detection,
1951 ignore lists, (logging soon), notify lists and plugins.
1953 common-ui: here's all the functions that need to print some texts to
1956 gui-gnome: GTK/GNOME specific code
1958 These haven't been started yet:
1959 ui-none: make irssi work as a bot with plugins/scripts
1960 ui-text: text mode interface
1961 gui-kde, ...: I'm not going to do these, anyone?
1963 v0.6.0 1999-02-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
1965 + Plugins! See plugins/* and src/plugin-commands.h for more
1967 + Small PERL plugin, anyone want to continue developing this?
1968 + Show menubar option
1969 - Some fixes and changes with clicking words.
1970 - Notify list didn't work if ircnet was specified.
1971 - socks5 needed -DSOCKS to work (but this is still untested..)
1973 v0.5.1 1999-02-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
1975 * A big bugfix release, hopefully no crashes anymore? :)
1976 * Removed intl directory, we don't have any i18n support yet so it's
1980 + Use --with-pthreads=no if they don't work right
1981 + socks4/5 support (untested), use --with-socks=no if you don't want
1983 - If you got kicked from channel irssi was in quite unstable state
1984 - Using channel mode buttons in the upper right corner crashed
1985 - Whois displayed idle time wrong
1986 - Adding first item to empty list (notify, completions, aliases,
1988 - It didn't actually compile without pthreads lib..
1989 - If any texts contained %s, %d, etc.. irssi tried to expand them
1990 - Solaris (and probably some others) need -D_REENTRANT flag to make
1991 threads work corretly.
1992 - gtk_container_add() should be used instead of
1993 gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() when handling clists..
1995 v0.5.0 1999-02-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
1997 + DCC CHAT, SEND, GET
1998 + pthread support, no more blocking server connections.
2000 + Getting more paranoid :) Added a lot of g_return_if_fail()s.
2001 Hopefully not in wrong places :) But these surely save some crashes
2003 + BUILD_DOCK, HAVE_GNOME, etc. defines are now placed in config.h
2004 instead of being in -D arguments for gcc.
2005 + Format strings are more flexible now, you can change the order of
2006 the parameters and you don't need to specify if the argument is
2007 supposed to be string or integer or .. Should be easy to use, %p1
2008 matches the first argument, %p2 the seconds, etc.
2010 - Changing topic from topic entry widget didn't work.
2011 - If window had only one channel, the channel widgets (topic, modes,
2012 etc) didn't show up.
2013 - Using popup menu from status window's channel lists crashed.
2014 - Channel menu didn't work
2016 v0.4.1 1999-02-04 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2018 + Preferences: completion - if you type <tag> in entry field and
2019 press tab it gets completed, like setting homepage to http://blah
2020 and typing: home page is homepage<tab> -> home page is http://blah
2021 + Tab nick completion.
2022 + ':' nick completion also changed a bit.. If it fits to more than
2023 one nick it's completed in bash style. Like if there's mynick1 and
2024 mynik2, "my:" gets completed to "myni:"
2025 + glib 1.0.6 didn't have g_get_user_name(), g_get_real_name(),
2026 g_get_home_dir() and g_strncasecmp(), made them..
2027 - Using --no-applet crashed..
2028 - Using items in user modes menu crashed
2029 - Several small bugs fixed..
2031 v0.4.0 1999-02-01 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2033 + *Lots* of internal changes with window handling, fixed some memory
2034 leaks also while doing them. You can now have multiple real windows
2035 with tabbed subwindows in them. It's also possible to have multiple
2036 channels in one subwindow. Commands for handling these.. :
2037 - /join - Works like before, creates real or subwindow depending
2038 if "use tabbed windows" is set in setup.
2039 - /wjoin - Joins channel to current window
2040 - /hjoin - Creates new subwindow and joins there
2041 - /njoin - Creates new real window and join there
2042 + Changed URL max length from 20 to 200.. Didn't realize it was that
2044 + Shows the nick who sent wallop, you need to change the second
2045 line in format texts from "%s" to "%s: %s" to make this it work.
2046 Need to do some kind of autoupgrading for formats that change..
2047 + Found new functions from glib :)
2048 - g_getenv("HOME") -> g_get_home_dir()
2049 - getpw() -> g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name()
2050 - strcasecmp() -> g_strcasecmp()
2051 - strncasecmp() -> g_strncasecmp()
2052 + GNOME version uses ~/.irssi.conf if it exists
2053 - Opping/deopping anyone made irssi think that you were opped/deopped
2054 - read_line() had some pretty bad bugs...
2056 v0.3.6 1999-01-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2058 + irssi.spec to easily build .rpm
2060 - Alternative nick which is used when default nick is in use.
2061 - Create own window for msgs
2064 - Max lines to keep in command line history
2065 - Scrollback buffer size
2067 + Toolbar .. we need pixmaps .. Needs also window (channel/query)
2069 + Using horizontal panel works right now.
2070 + Alt-1..0 changes between windows
2071 - Private actions didn't show up in query windows where they should
2073 - Alias and ignores lists were mixed together and didn't work.
2074 - Setting max channels to display in panel to -1 (which is default..)
2075 displayed actually only one channel.. Also setting this to 0 works.
2076 - Topic didn't change when changing between windows in tabbed windows
2078 - When op received +v, @ was changed to + in nick list
2079 - Connect/disconnect/channels dialogs fixed so that they won't crash
2080 when clicking buttons with empty lists.
2082 v0.3.5 1999-01-26 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2084 + Finished the channels dialog, you can automatically join to
2085 channels in specific irc networks.
2086 + Changed the look of connect and disconnect dialogs
2087 + servertest/ directory, just a test program to try if irssi crashes
2088 with _HEAVY_ network load (ie. if there's buffer overflows or some
2089 other weird bugs). It doesn't :)
2090 + Preferences: Maximum number of channels to display in panel
2091 - When leaving from channels, panel didn't redraw it's list correctly
2092 - Leaving channels in tabbed window mode crashed
2093 - Fixed crash if connection got lost
2095 v0.3.4 1999-01-24 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2097 + Tabbed windows work a lot better
2099 + Preferences: default user mode
2100 - Connecting to more than one server crashed...
2101 - Nick list redrawing was broken
2102 - Dock applet wrote the texts to pixmap but didn't draw the pixmap
2103 into screen then properly..
2105 v0.3.3 1999-01-23 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2107 + /ignore never - never autoignore nick
2108 + You can hide/show channel nick list from Channel menu, default
2109 state can be set from preferences.
2110 + Preferences: Strip styles from text, misc options
2111 + Launching URLs work!
2112 + More str[nnn] -> GString changes, should be no more potential
2114 + Started the tabbed windows, probably quite buggy and the
2115 window_create() code is getting REALLY ugly..
2116 - Servers didn't display QUIT message.. Couldn't think of any better
2117 way to fix this than not to disconnect the link but let the server
2119 - ANSI colors didn't work right
2121 v0.3.2 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
2123 + Dock applet, works at least with Enlightenment..
2124 - GTK version tried to move temp config file to real config file
2125 with rename() .. didn't work if /tmp and home were in different
2127 - Some servers sent a mode change before /names list, irssi didn't
2128 like that and crashed..
2129 - No more Gtk-Critical messages if irssi is run with --no-applet
2131 v0.3.1 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2133 * 4 days since last relase. too long :) I'm now starting to create
2134 "unstable" versions of irssi. They have the latest and greatest
2135 features while they might not build/work too well. Check
2136 http://www.sicom.fi/~ikioma/irssi-download.html, new versions will
2137 probably be released quite often.
2138 * GNOME version now builds without GNOME panel applet library
2139 * Works with GTK+ 1.0.6 now, maybe with older too.
2140 + Connect / disconnect dialogs, channel dialog also started
2141 + Server setup dialog changed some.
2142 + Status window has a list of channels, queries and (yet not
2143 implemented) DCC chats. Also the tiny panel window isn't displayed
2144 unless you're running irssi in panel..
2145 + Menu bar in all windows
2146 + Cleaned read_line() to use GStrings.
2147 + $(sysconfdir)/irssi.conf is copied to default user file if it isn't
2149 + If you get kicked from channel the channel window won't get
2151 - Query was in op submenu in nicklist's popup menu .. whops.
2152 - 0.3.0 broke server tag generation so using multiple servers didn't
2155 v0.3.0 1999-01-18 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2157 * Config changes in GTK version, delete old .irssi.conf file (or
2158 change all "tag = values" to "tag=values")
2159 * Default set of servers and aliases can be found from irssi.conf,
2160 copy that to ~/.gnome/irssi (if build with GNOME) or ~/.irssi.conf
2161 (if build without GNOME).
2162 + servers page added to preferences. Without connect dialog this is
2163 quite useless though :) But if you set "connect to IRC server at
2164 startup" on, irssi connects you to first local server.
2166 - /ALIAS <alias> <command to execute>
2167 - alias page added to preferences
2168 - these codes are extracted in commands:
2170 %1, %2, %3 .. : word %
2171 &1, &2, &3 .. : word & + the rest of the text after it
2173 - typing extra / before /command (//command) ignores any aliases
2175 - /IGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
2176 - /UNIGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
2177 - ignore page added to preferences
2178 - ignore levels: ALL, CRAP, CHAN, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS,
2179 SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC, CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
2180 + autoignoring msg and ctcp flooders
2181 + options page added to preferences
2182 + invite lists (channel mode I)
2183 + !channels should work now
2184 + replaced quite a lot of g_new()'s with GStrings. fixed one buffer
2185 overflow with this also..
2186 + /AWAYALL - sends /away to all connected servers
2187 + /KNOCKOUT [secs] <nick> <reason> - kick+ban+delay (5min)+unban
2188 - nick completion was case-sensitive
2189 - again some minor bugs fixed and features added
2191 v0.2.1 1999-01-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2193 + Preferences: color and font selection
2194 + gnome-stuff.c has some gnome_* compatible functions to get GTK+
2195 version work. They're pretty slow and dum and maybe even buggy so
2196 if you want better, just compile the gnome libs :)
2197 + Doubleclicking in topic sets the entry editable/uneditable
2198 - nick completion was buggy
2199 - some minor bugs and features fixed
2201 v0.2.0 1999-01-16 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
2203 + CTCP VERSION returns system name and revisions
2204 + msgs window has now autoraise set on as default
2205 + status window is used only when there's no window active..
2206 + Done server handing:
2207 /server = /disconnect + /connect
2208 /connect = connects to new server without disconnecting from
2210 /disconnect = disconnect from current server
2211 + msgs and status window have a server selector menu
2212 + clicking a server tag in msgs window changes server
2213 + channel information box
2214 + --no-panel command line switch so you can build with GNOME support
2215 but don't need to be running it in panel.
2216 - some automake fixes
2217 - If someone was kicked, the kicker was removed from nick list
2218 insted of the kicked..
2219 - Fixed some weird situtation where snapshot window wouldn't
2220 disappear from screen..
2222 v0.1.0 1999-01-14 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
