+
+       * Renamed function silc_parse_nickname to silc_parse_userfqdn
+         to generally parse user@fqdn format strings.  Affected file
+         lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
+
+       * Added nickname_format and nickname_force_format fields to the
+         SilcClientParams structure.  The first one defines the format
+         for the nicknames that the library will enforce if the receives
+         multiple same nicknames.  The second one is boolean value and
+         can be used to force the library to always enforce the format
+         to the nicknames regardles whether there are multiple nicknames
+         or not.  This configurable formatting was employed to flexibly
+         support accessing multiple nicknames from the user interface.
+         The userinterface can now set the nicknames to what ever format
+         they prefer.  Affected file lib/silcclient/silcapi.h.
+
+         Added function silc_client_nickname_format to the file
+         lib/silcclient/idlist.c.  It performs the nickname formatting.
+
+         Added new field `hostname´ to the SilcClientEntry context.
+         It holds the hostname of the client.  Affected file is
+         lib/silcclient/idlist.h.
+
+       * Irssi SILC Client sets the nicknames in nick@hostn format.
+         Fe. priikone@otaku, priikone@otaku2 etc.  Affected file
+         irssi/src/silc/core/silc-core.c.
+
+         The WHOIS printing now also shows both the real nickname and
+         the formatted nickname so that user knows how to access the
+         user if there are multiple same nicknames cached.  Affected
+         file irssi/src/silc/core/client_ops.c.  Changed the WHOIS
+         printing formatting too to take the hostname now as a separate
+         argument.  The Affected file is
+         irssi/src/fe-common/silc/modules-formats.[ch].
+
+       * Changed the silc_client_get_clients_local to accept the formatted
+         nickname as argument.  It accepts the real nickname too but the
+         formatted nickname can be used to find the true entry from 
+         multiple entries.  Affected file lib/silcclient/silcapi.h and
+         lib/silcclient/idlist.c.
+
+       * Added nickname_format_parse field to the SilcClientParams.
+         It is a callback function provided by the application to parse
+         the nickname out of the formatted nickname string. The library
+         calls it to get the nickname from the formatted string. Since
+         the application generally knows better the format of the nickname
+         string it parses it instead of the library, even though library
+         encodes the formatted string.  If the callback function is not
+         provided then the library will use the string as is.  The
+         affected file is lib/silcclient/silcapi.h.
+
+       * All the nickname strings passed to the client library in 
+         commands are now expected to be formatted nickname strings.
+         If the command does not support the formatted nickname string
+         it will assume that the sent string is the actual nickname.
+         Affected file lib/silcclient/command.c.
