--- /dev/null
+v0.8.1 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Expected bugfix release :) Worst thing was that I forgot always to
+ debug why /cat /dev/urandom crashed irssi. Well, found two ways
+ that could make it happen.
+
+ - Irssi was linked with -lcurses AND -lncurses
+ - Logging could have produced GLib errors with certain conditions
+ - A few compiler warnings fixes
+
+v0.8.0 2002-02-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * I really should make releases more often. Once in every two weeks
+ used to be nice. Maybe once in a month would be good now. There
+ was many reasons why this release took this long .. first being
+ addicted to books, then life stuff, then it took forever to figure
+ out that irssi was crashing under solaris (and not because of one
+ of the big changes I made while moving to IRC from solaris box).
+
+ And now.. well, after this release I'll start working more with
+ the yet another irssi rewrite :) The code is getting too ugly
+ again, and some things need rewriting to support some new features
+ more easily. It will take a while to get it all done, so I'll try
+ to keep updating this "stable" irssi as well.
+
+ There's too many changes since 0.7.98.3 (and .4 which was just
+ minor bugfix), about 6600 lines in ChangeLog. I'm not going to
+ read all that, so I'll just list the biggest changes that I can
+ remember now.
+
+ This version was supposed to be called 0.7.99, but since there
+ were so many changes, and I originally though of putting 0.8.0
+ out long time ago, and 0.7.100 would look stupid, I guess it's
+ time for 0.8.0 :)
+
+ + /UPGRADE - upgrade irssi to new version on-the-fly without
+ disconnecting from server, so other people won't even notice you
+ quit from IRC. This ONLY executes the new binary, it does NOT
+ download/compile/whatever irssi.
+ + UTF-8 support with /SET term_type UTF-8, default is "8bit".
+ It's also automatically detected from system locale (if supported).
+ + Fully configurable statusbar. Yes. FULLY. Don't bother asking if
+ something could be done with it, it can, just ask how. Well,
+ there's a few things I didn't have time/energy to finish:
+ window-specific statusbar groups and support for multiple input
+ lines in screen.
+ + Rewritten keyboard handling. No more the CTRL-X and ALT-x handling,
+ now you can create whatever keyboard combinations your terminal
+ can send to irssi.
+ + Rewritten text buffer (scrollback) handling.
+ + Irssi doesn't depend on curses anymore, so it can be installed
+ anywhere a working terminfo/termcap exists. This also allows us to
+ use all the possible colors terminal has (curses limits to 64), so
+ eg. %0 is now always black background, not the default terminal
+ background (%n).
+
+ Several systems have also terminfo/termcap database that doesn't
+ support colors, so I've added /SET term_force_colors option to
+ force ANSI-style colors. Note that eg. BitchX does this by default.
+
+ Getting rid of curses allows also one great thing for you people
+ copy&pasting long urls :) If a long word gets split to two lines,
+ doubleclicking the word selects it from both lines.
+ + Rewritten server event redirections. Before it was pretty easy to
+ mess up irssi's expectations of what server sends, and some things
+ might have stayd in the buffer forever. Especially notify lists
+ messed up /WHOIS requests for the notified people. Now all this
+ should be history and it's a lot easier for scripts to use the
+ redirections as well.
+ + New ICB chat protocol plugin - very basic and doesn't support
+ nicklist, but works. :)
+ + --home and --config parameters to specify alternate ~/.irssi
+ directory or config file.
+ + Scripts can be unloaded separately with /SCRIPT UNLOAD. You can get
+ a list of runnning scripts with /SCRIPT.
+ + /SERVER PURGE [<target>] - purge the output buffer (for given
+ target). Useful for example if you accidentally paste 100 lines :)
+ The buffer is automatically purged if you get kicked from channel,
+ or if you /PART the channel and there's more than 10 lines in
+ output buffer.
+
+v0.7.98.3 2001-03-17 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Highlighting changes: /HILIGHT -color, /SET hilight_color and
+ /SET hilight_act_color don't accept the numeric color value
+ anymore, the colors must be the %code format (see the beginning
+ of docs/formats.txt). The color can also have background and
+ underline/blinking set (%F%Y = blinking yellow)
+
+ * Statusbar rewrite: Statusbar should finally work well when
+ there's not enough space for it in screen. Least important items
+ start shrinking/disappearing before more important ones, activity
+ list should be always fully visible now.
+
+ /SET statusbar_xxx settings have been removed, everything is
+ configurable from theme now. Even the texts in the statusbar
+ items. See end of default.theme.
+
+ FULLY configurable statusbar with possibility to create your own
+ items and support for multiple lines will hopefully come soon.
+
+ + /WINDOW CLOSE [<first> [<last>] - you can close multiple
+ windows at once now.
+ + Emphasis work with actions now
+ + If there's any unknown settings in your configuration file, irssi
+ asks at startup if they should be removed.
+ + All abstracts in theme files now default to same as in
+ default.theme, so you may override only those you want to change
+ leaving the rest commented out.
+ - Irssi crashed when specifying vhost to use (not always?)
+ - Fixed one nasty usage of already free'd memory. Hopefully solves
+ some weird crashes?
+ - Some perl fixes, Irssi::Nick and "massjoin" signal didn't work
+ properly which broke all auto-op scripts.
+ - If one server fails because of DNS error, don't stop reconnecting
+ to entire chatnet.
+ - Updated default config to have max_query_chans=1 in undernet to
+ avoid those channel syncing problems.
+ - /SERVER didn't autojoin channels if it was used when you weren't
+ connected to any other servers
+ - /CONNECT -ircnet didn't load ircnet specific settings correctly
+ - /SET scroll_page_count - don't crash if /0 is given. Works now
+ properly if /0.xx is given.
+ - ^O did reset only colors, not underlines etc.
+ - Several fixes with handling blinking text
+ - Irssi crashed almost immediately with NetBSD/Alpha, fixed. Still
+ not sure if it was compiler bug or is my code just non-standard C.
+ - Reconnecting in IPv6 server shouldn't change to IPv4
+ - Irssi proxy didn't work properly with systems where irssi was
+ compiled with --enable-ipv6 but OS didn't support IPv6
+
+v0.7.98.2 2001-03-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ + /LASTLOG: added -case option for case-sensitive matching.
+ -force option is now required to print lastlogs longer than
+ 1000 lines.
+ + /BANTYPE -> /SET ban_type. /BAN: -type option added to override
+ default ban type.
+ + /NAMES: -ops -halfops -voices -normal options added.
+ /NAMES without parameters now prints nicklist in active channel,
+ /NAMES ** shows all nicks in all channels.
+ + delete_next_word key implemented, patch by Tinuk
+ + /SET beep_when_window_active - works with /SET beep_msg_level,
+ should we beep when the msg is printed to active window. If msg
+ is printed to some other window it always beeps.
+ + /JOIN #channel and /QUERY nick won't anymore automatically move
+ channel/query to active window but send a notice to user how to
+ move it. This was confusing people who did it accidentally.
+ + /SET autostick_split_windows (default ON) - should we do
+ /WINDOW STICK ON to all new split windows and hidden windows that
+ are created inside it. This hopefully makes it easier to use split
+ windows.
+ - All IPv6 problems are hopefully fixed. Everything now keeps both
+ v4 and v6 addresses in memory and at connect() time it's decided
+ which one should be used.
+ - /IGNORE * level printed GLib error. /RELOADing printed some
+ unignore texts. Autoignores had some problems.
+ - Using /LAYOUT SAVE with split windows crashed irssi at startup
+ when it tried to restore them..
+ - /WINDOW SHOW command didn't work properly
+ - /LAST -clear crashed if window contained only lastlog lines.
+ Beeping after /LAST -clear also could have crashed.
+ - HILIGHT level didn't work with logs.
+ - /SET prompt - if $T (target) had %c or something in it, it
+ shouldn't be treated as color code. So color codes can now be
+ used in /SET prompt string itself, but in none of the $variables
+ it uses.
+ - Generated help files had joined lines in chapter together but
+ didn't add spaces between lines.
+ - Statusbar could have gotten to endless loop when trying to give
+ more space to some item when there was no more available space.
+ - When /SET autoclose_windows is ON, don't destroy windows if they
+ have some level set (like /join -w + /part in status window)
+ - If GLIB was unpacked to irssi directory, make install tried to
+ install it also.
+ - Always save theme to ~/.irssi/ no matter where it was read from.
+ - If /SET names_max_width was too low, irssi crashed
+ - /CONNECT -ircnet "" - even if someone does this don't make the
+ server tag empty :)
+ - /QUERYing #channel that was already /JOINed crashed irssi after
+ a while
+ - /SET -clear printed GLib error when done to boolean settings
+
+v0.7.98.1 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ - fixed stupid remote crash with nick_match_msg()
+
+v0.7.98 2001-02-22 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Theme files aren't fully compatible with old ones, there's a few
+ naming changes and some new items. Added lots of comments and help
+ to default.theme, so creating themes should be a bit easier now :)
+
+ * Perl scripts aren't compatible with old ones anymore. Biggest
+ change is that $object->values()->{xxx} calls are now just
+ $object->{xxx}, but there's a lot of other changes as well.
+ docs/perl.txt is now up to date so you may want to read it.
+
+ * Several settings have changed their names:
+ /SET beep_on_msg -> beep_msg_level
+ /SET activity_levels -> activity_msg_level
+ /SET hilight_levels -> activity_hilight_level
+ /SET noact_channels -> activity_hide_targets
+
+ + /SET prompt, /SET prompt_window - Specifies the text in prompt.
+ 'prompt' is used when channel or query is active in window and
+ 'prompt_window' is used with empty windows. You can also use
+ % color codes in prompt.
+ + /EXEC - rewrote it, has now all the same features as EPIC and a
+ few more, like "interactive shell in window" support. See
+ /HELP exec for information.
+ + /SAVEWINDOWS renamed to /LAYOUT SAVE. Added /LAYOUT RESET.
+ /LAYOUT SAVE now saves split windows and queries properly.
+ Windows that contain saved channels are never used for anything
+ else (ie. if the saved channel isn't joined, no other channels
+ can be joined to the window)
+ + /WINDOW SERVER: added -sticky and -unsticky options. If window
+ server is sticky, it will never be automatically changed, and it
+ cannot be changed to anything else without -unsticky option.
+ Should be useful for people who want status or msgs windows for
+ each server.
+ + /WINDOW STICK [ON|OFF|<ref#>] - stick window to specified split
+ window. After setting window to sticky non-sticky windows can't
+ replace the active sticky one. Each split window can have it's own
+ sticky window group.
+ + /WINDOW LEFT, /WINDOW RIGHT - Go to previous/next window in the
+ current sticky window group, or if there's no sticky windows go to
+ previous/next non-sticky window. Alt-Left/Right keys default to
+ these commands now.
+ + /WINDOW NUMBER: -sticky option added. Closing windows before a
+ sticky window won't change refnum of the sticky window and windows
+ after it.
+ + /SET windows_auto_renumber - should window refnums be packed when
+ some window is destroyed in the middle
+ + /SET scroll_page_count - how many lines to scroll with pgup/pgdn.
+ either an absolute value, or if the count starts with '/', it's
+ calculated as lines_in_screen/count. The default is /2.
+ + /SET timestamp_format specifies the format to use with timestamps
+ in "man strftime" format.
+ + Emphasis (*word*, _word_) replacing works better now. It doesn't
+ try to change nicks or any non-words. This time people might want
+ to actually use it :)
+ + Nick completion logic changes, should work better now. Changed
+ meaning of /SET completion_keep_publics to be number of publics
+ to keep instead of time to keep them.
+ + /HILIGHT: Added -priority option (deciding which color should stay
+ in activity list), /SET hilight_level to specify the default level
+ for /HILIGHTs. -word option renamed to -full. Added new -word
+ option meaning to highlight only the found word in line. Removed
+ -nonick option but added -line which means pretty much the same.
+ -actcolor specifies what color to show in activity list, default
+ is the same as -color or if there's no -color it defaults to
+ /SET hilight_act_color. Colors can have background color set with
+ fg,bg. Works with activity list too, useful for example blinking.
+ + DCC rewrite. File names with spaces work properly, you can have
+ multiple dcc chats with same people (or more useful, same nick in
+ different ircnets), /DCC CHAT|GET|RESUME with no arguments accepts
+ the last request, notifies if dcc request was sent to channel,
+ warns about connecting to lowports, /SET dcc_autoget_lowports
+ specifies if autogetting should work with lowports, complains of
+ invalid DCC CTCPs instead of ignoring, /SET dcc_autoresume is like
+ dcc_autoget except resumes the files if possible.
+ + /NAMES can print columns with different widths now. You can change
+ the max. width with /SET names_max_width and /SET names_max_columns
+ settings. Default is max. 6 columns.
+ + /LASTLOG: Added options -file <filename> for writing lastlog to
+ file, -window <ref#|name> for specifying which window's lastlog to
+ print (output is always to active window) and -clear option to
+ remove all lastlog lines from window.
+ + /OPER [<nick> [<password>]] - syntax changed. If password isn't
+ given, it's asked.
+ + /FOREACH server|channel|query|window <command>
+ + /UNBAN <ref#> works. /BAN list shows reference numbers.
+ + /PERL <code> - runs perl code (like /PERL Irssi::print "hello")
+ + /CLEAR -all - clear all windows
+ + /KICKBAN and /KNOCKOUT accepts multiple nicks separated with commas
+ + /SET theme - says what theme was changed to, and complains if
+ theme wasn't found. Setting theme's name to "xxx.theme" now works,
+ too many people tried it with the .theme suffix :)
+ + /WHOIS without parameters in query does now same as
+ /WII <queried nick>
+ + IPv6 updates: /CONNECT, /SERVER, /SERVER ADD: added -4 and -6
+ options for specifying if we should connect to IPv4 or IPv6 address
+ of the server. If -host or /SET hostname is set, irssi determines
+ from it if it should use IPv4 or v6. If irssi still isn't sure of
+ it, it fallbacks to /SET resolve_prefer_ipv6
+ + Logs and rawlogs write to files through special "write buffer". By
+ default everything gets written immediately, but you can make it
+ wait until there's specified amount of data in buffer or write once
+ in a hour or so. Useful for people who want to keep hard disk at
+ sleep at nights but still want to log. /SET write_buffer_mins and
+ /SET write_buffer_kb specifies when to flush the buffer.
+ /FLUSHBUFFER flushes it immediately.
+ + LOTS of other smaller things that should make your life easier :)
+ - /SET dcc_autorename OFF didn't work before.
+ - Irssi compiled with IPv6 support didn't work properly with some
+ operating systems.
+ - Theme saving to home dir didn't work correctly if globaldir
+ already had the same theme.
+ - If log file locking failed, irssi always assumed it was locked
+ while it could have been because filesystem didn't support locking
+ or some other problem..
+
+v0.7.97 2000-12-03 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Added templates for themes - this allowed separation of the
+ actual texts and styling/coloring. See default.theme file for
+ more information. You should remove your old ~/.irssi/default.theme
+ or at least merge it with the defaul.theme.
+
+ * If GLIB sources are found unpacked from some subdirectory, always
+ compile it and use it even if GLIB is already installed somewhere
+ else.
+
+ + /SCROLLBACK REDRAW - redraw contents of current window according
+ to active formats, ie. changing theme updates the scrollback.
+ This requires /SET scrollback_save_formats ON.
+ + /SET log_theme <theme> - you can specify what theme to use for
+ writing texts to log file.
+ + /WAIT [-<server tag>] <milliseconds> - wait for <milliseconds>
+ before sending anything else to server
+ + /EXEC <command> - execute command and print it's output (stdout
+ only) to screen. (by Tinuk)
+ + Don't indent the next line when long word is split, this should
+ help a bit when copying long URLs.
+ + Remember who set the topic and when, display the info when using
+ /TOPIC.
+ + /SET emphasis - convert _underlined_ and *bold* words (and phrases)
+ to use real underlines/bolds. (by tommik)
+ + While waiting for more netsplits/netjoins, if anything else is
+ printed to screen, print the current netsplit/netjoin messages
+ before that text.
+ + Print multiple identical mode changes in one line
+ (mode +o nick by nick1, nick2, nick3)
+ + /WINDOW ITEM GOTO <name> - sets <name> active in current window
+ + /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <window#>|<name> - moves window item to another
+ window.
+ + /SET autocreate_windows - should we create new windows for new
+ window items or just place everything to one window
+ + /JOIN #already_joined_channel, /QUERY already_queried_nick - same
+ as /WINDOW ITEM MOVE <name>
+ + /SET activity_level, /SET hilight_level - specifies which message
+ levels should be treated as msg/hilight activity. (by tommik)
+ + DCC queries are now created automatically only if /SET
+ autocreate_query_level has DCCMSGS level
+ + If other side replies to our DCC CHAT request with DCC CHAT
+ request of their own (maybe we were inside firewall and other
+ side noticed it), connect to it immediately.
+ + Don't allow more than one identical DCC request, if more is
+ received just update the port of the previous request.
+ + Added KILL handling - user/server kills are now printed formatted.
+ + If server KILLs you, connect back (almost) immediately (don't wait
+ for the default 5 minutes)
+ + Nick completion now completes nicks from all channels in active
+ window, except when completing the first word in line only nicks
+ in active channel are completed.
+ + /SET show_nickmode_empty - when nick has no mode, should we
+ display " " or ""
+ + /SET part_message - default message with /PART
+ + Added -current, -window and -level options to /ECHO
+ + Ctrl-T = transpose_characters
+ + Perl scripting supports now printformat(), ie. user can change
+ the text format with /FORMAT just like any other formats.
+ + Proxy plugin now supports multiple servers, blocks CTCPs from
+ clients behind it and if one client sends message to channel,
+ other clients + proxy itself also receives the message.
+ - Netsplit/netjoin printing fixes. Sometimes netsplits were hidden
+ completely and some netjoins were forgotten and printed as normal
+ joins instead.
+ - Lag checking broke sometimes when nick was changed
+ - Don't close non-autolog logs when leaving channel / closing query.
+ - Time formats didn't work in directory name of autologs.
+ - Sometimes join to channel didn't ever get synced.
+ - IPv6 support didn't work correctly with all non-Linux OSes.
+ - Lots of minor fixes and changes to make your life easier.
+
+v0.7.96 2000-10-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * new configure option: --disable-curses-windows. Use this if curses
+ always redraws the window when scrolling. This is a weird problem,
+ I'd like to know why it happens. :)
+ * Log settings are incompatible with previous versions. You'll need
+ to setup them again. Or the targets are actually the only ones
+ that irssi won't read correctly.
+ * Lots of moving and cleaning and rewriting stuff from irc to core
+ so adding other IRC-like protocols (but not IRC) would be easier.
+ This was mostly done to make SILC plugin work.
+ * Perl was split to Irssi and Irssi::Irc packages. You'll currently
+ need to use both of them with perl scripts ("use Irssi;
+ use Irssi::Irc;). This might not be needed in future :)
+ * Changes:
+ - /SET default_nick -> /SET nick
+ - /FORMAT own_me -> /FORMAT own_action
+ - /FORMAT own_dcc_me -> /FORMAT own_dcc_action
+
+ + Small tutorial to new irssi users - docs/startup-HOWTO.txt
+ + Proxy plugin works again, thanks to fuchs for fixing it :)
+ + You can now connect multiple times to same server and
+ reconnections will work correctly with them.
+ + Support for half-ops (+h)
+ + Actions will now show up in window activity with hilight or
+ message-color, not the text-color as before.
+ + Added tab-completion for /BIND's commands.
+ + Perl support is now built as runtime loadable module by default.
+ You can still build it statically with --enable-perl=static
+ configure option.
+ + /SET completion_nicks_lowercase - when completing nicks always
+ write the nick with lowercase (uppercase letters are ugly ;)
+ + /BIND <key> /command works now directly instead of needing the
+ "command" id in the middle
+ + /connect + /server server/chatnet completion by tommik.
+ + Keyboard should never get stuck again when receiving huge amounts
+ of text from server that irssi doesn't handle fast enough.
+ - Hopefully fixed the problem when Irssi starts eating 100% CPU
+ - Fixes to make irssi work with other (older and newer) perl
+ versions than 5.005
+ - /MSG -servertag crashed irssi.
+ - /BAN could crash when showing bans
+ - log_day_change was never printed in logs
+ - /mode #channel -oooo... would deop the first 3, and then op the
+ rest.
+ - When pressing down key, the command line wasn't saved to history.
+ - Closing or moving window didn't update the window activity list.
+ - Autologging with same named channels in different networks works
+ now correctly.
+
+v0.7.95 2000-08-13 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Changes:
+ - /LOG: Removed the -rotate option, it was pretty useless since
+ adding the % formats to file name already tells that the log
+ should be rotated.
+ - WJOIN -> /JOIN -window and WQUERY -> /QUERY -window. Added
+ WJOIN and WQUERY aliases for them in default config..
+ + /SAVEWINDOWS saves the current layout of windows. It's
+ automatically reloaded at startup.
+ + Theme fixes: /RELOAD reloads them, /SET theme changes the default
+ theme, you can have window specific themes with /WINDOW THEME.
+ + Irssi uses now real curses windows, irssi should work now better
+ with non-ncurseses.
+ + Autologging supports log rotating now too, just add the wanted %
+ formats to /SET autolog_path
+ + /MSG nick completion now gives the nicks in right time order when
+ using multiple irc networks.
+ + /SET beep_on_msg now works with all message levels, including
+ HILIGHT.
+ + You can change the default line indentation with /SET indent
+ + /channel add -bots: You can now use @ or + before the nick mask to
+ indicate that bot should have either ops or voices/ops.
+ + Perl scripting:
+ - Added namespaces, you don't have to worry about if someone
+ else also happens to be using event_privmsg function..
+ - You can unload scripts with /UNLOAD <name>.
+ - Running scripts that are already loaded, destroys the old
+ script from memory.
+ - Added Irssi::print_window() function to print text to current
+ window.
+ - Don't autoclose window after part/unquery if there was still some
+ channels/queries left in window.
+ - Autologging fixes: Don't log WHOIS replies by default
+ (autolog_level = all -crap). And with /msg nick1,nick2 don't log
+ to file nick1,nick2.log but nick1.log and nick2.log separately.
+ It also failed if you hadn't created the base path for the logs,
+ now irssi creates the whole directory path.
+
+v0.7.94 2000-07-24 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Help files! Use /HELP <command> to see them.
+ They're just very first beta versions so don't expect too much.
+ They were written by Markus Vuori <mm@vuori.net> with some help
+ from EPIC's help files :)
+
+ * Changes:
+ - /SET completion_disable_auto -> completion_auto
+ - Changed the names of /BIND commands to be epic-compatible.
+ Also added several new commands.
+ - If --prefix is used, add the default perl library directory to
+ same prefix.
+ + Implemented /WINDOW LAST for changing to last current window.
+ + Added DCCMSGS message level. Actions match now either MSGS or
+ PUBLIC level as well as the ACTIONS level always.
+ + SET print_active_channel - if you have multiple channels in same
+ window, should we always print the channel for each message
+ (<nick:#channel>) or only when the channel isn't active.
+ + Don't print nick changes and quit messages from same nick more
+ than once in the same window (if you had joined multiple channels
+ in same window).
+ + /SET settings_autosave - If set ON, settings are automatically
+ saved when quitting and once per hour.
+ + Don't allow recursive aliases, ie. /alias echo echo hello does
+ print hello instead of going to infinite loop.
+ + Implemented /IGNORE -time <seconds>, patch by fuchs.
+ + /PERLFLUSH now cleans up the Perl interpreter properly (closes
+ all the files opened in perl scripts, etc)
+ - Awaylog didn't work right if you did /AWAY multiple times.
+ - /NOTIFY -idle sometimes printed the unidle-message even if the
+ nick really didn't stop idling. Fixed several other notify list
+ bugs.
+ - Tab-msgcompletion didn't work right after you had used
+ /msg -ircnet nick
+ - Fixed the long standing text buffer bug which could sometimes
+ crash irssi if you were unlucky.
+ - The channel key given in /JOIN should override the one given
+ in setup.
+ - /RELOAD caused several bugs
+
+v0.7.93 2000-07-09 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ + Implemented /BIND [<key> [<action> [<data>]]] command.
+ <key> can be CTRL-x, ALT-X or ALT-SHIFT-X
+ The most useful action is "command", give the command in <data>.
+ You can see the rest of the actions with typing /BIND without
+ any parameters. Some actions might have more than one word,
+ to use them type the action in "quotation marks".
+ + When netsplit is over, irssi prints "Netsplit over, joins: (nicks)"
+ and hides all the real JOIN messages.
+ + /^COMMAND hides the output of the command, it's not written to
+ log either. Good for sending passwords for example.
+ + If you're pasting text to channel and some of it starts with /,
+ Irssi will send the "/command" to channel if it doesn't exist
+ (instead of just printing "unknown command").
+ + --enable-perl[=libdir] to configure - you can specify what
+ directory to install the perl libraries.
+ + Implemented runtime loadable modules. /LOAD loads a module,
+ /UNLOAD unloads it.
+ + You can change statusbar colors with /SET statusbar_xxx.
+ + Added -clear option to /SET.
+ + Tab-completion for /FORMAT.
+ + Ctrl-Y undeletes the last line deleted with Ctrl-U.
+ - Reconnecting to server had a few bugs
+ - /RELOADing configuration produced a few bugs
+ - Highlighting had several bugs
+ - Automatic command and option completions had some bugs
+ - -option tab-completion didn't work
+
+v0.7.92 2000-06-30 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Some changes:
+ /REHASH -> /RELOAD
+ /SERVER -add, -remove, -list -> /SERVER ADD, REMOVE, LIST
+ /SET window_close_on_part -> /SET autoclose_windows
+ /HILIGHT -nick -> /HILIGHT -mask (see below)
+ + Automatic completion of /commands. Automatic completion of
+ command -options. Complains about unknown -options.
+ + /MSG [-<server tag>] <nick> <msg> - you can specify what server
+ to send the message to.
+ + Rewrote tab-completion to be modular, it's REALLY easy to add
+ completion to whatever you want. It now handles:
+ - Command completion works better, subcommand completion works
+ - Command -option completion
+ - /MSG completion completes from all IRC servers, so if you had
+ message from ircnet and efnet, irssi will complete with
+ /MSG -ircnet nick1 -> /MSG -efnet nick2
+ - #channel completion works - it completes only channels you
+ have joined or have in setup
+ - File name completion with /DCC SEND (and other commands)
+ - /TOGGLE settings completion
+ - Completion for command parameters or subcommands work right
+ even if the command was typed as alias.
+ + /HILIGHT updates:
+ - -nick highlights only the nick, not the whole line. Works
+ only with public messages.
+ - -mask option matches the text for nick mask (it didn't even
+ work before).
+ - Window numbers in activity list are colored with hilight
+ color.
+ - You can give real color names with -color option. All the
+ "normal" colors can be given, if you want bold colors, use
+ b+color name, like bgreen.
+ - /SET hilight_color specifies the default highlight color
+ - /SET hilight_only_nick specifies if we should highlight the
+ nick or the whole line if -nick or -nonick wasn't specified
+ with /HILIGHT.
+ + /LAST -away checks only lines that came after last time you
+ went away.
+ + You can specify command(s) to be sent automatically to server
+ after connected with /IRCNET -autosendcmd. Useful for sending
+ your password to NickServ.
+ + Added /SET reuse_unused_windows setting, default is OFF. Works
+ only when /SET autoclose_windows is ON. This specifies if new
+ windows should be joined to new window, or if existing empty
+ windows should be used.
+ + /SET lag_min_show -1 disables displaying lag entirely.
+ - /SCROLLBACK HOME, END and GOTO commands weren't working right.
+ - Closing active window that had channels/queries could crash
+ - Using \n with /SET expand_escapes ON didn't work right.
+ - Logging HILIGHT messages didn't work
+ - The "max. count" parameter in /LAST didn't work right.
+
+v0.7.91 2000-06-14 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ + Ctrl-X changes IRC server in stats/msgs/empty windows.
+ + /JOIN -<server tag> #channel joins to channel in specified server.
+ + /WHOIS automatically sends a /WHOWAS query if nick wasn't in IRC.
+ + if some unknown /command had another / in it, like /usr/bin,
+ send it as normal message. good for copypasting paths :)
+ + If you're not allowed to connect to server (K-lined, no I-line),
+ Irssi won't try to reconnect back to the server.
+ + You can disable window activity notifies in specified channels
+ with /SET noact_channels #chan1 #chan2 .. The activity is
+ displayed if window had a message to you.
+ + Tab-completion works now with /commands and /set variables
+ + /SET close_window_on_part - should we close the window too when
+ /PARTing channel
+ + /SET autocreate_own_query ON - creates query window when you
+ send message with /MSG nick.
+ + /SET mail_counter specifies if we should show mail counter in
+ statusbar.
+ + /SET wall_format specifies the text that's sent with /WALL
+ + If you /SET expand_escapes ON and type \n or \t to text line, they
+ will be expanded to newline and tab.
+ + Ctrl-W deletes word in left
+ - Flood was detected wrong - /SET flood_timecheck's argument was
+ supposed to be seconds, not milliseconds.
+ - Unignoring autoignored nicks didn't work
+ - Logging wrote messages to log file twice
+ - /WINDOW MOVE <number> could put irssi to infinite loop
+ - ANSI blink code crashed irssi.
+ - Replying to DCC GET and CHAT requests didn't work
+ - /HILIGHT displayed levels twice, /HILIGHT -channels didn't work
+ - /SET ignore_signals wasn't read at startup..
+
+v0.7.90 2000-06-04 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * On the way to 0.8.0 .. Major rewriting/rearranging code. There's
+ some changes in behaviour because I'm trying to make Irssi
+ compatible with EPIC as much as possible (except the scripting,
+ perl should be enough?)
+
+ * DOCUMENTATION! See docs/manual.txt
+
+ This NEWS file contains only the biggest new features, you should
+ browse through the documentation to find the rest. Some of the
+ parameters of commands listed in this file aren't really up to
+ date since I got a bit bored writing them here too.. They are
+ correct in the manual.
+
+ * Irssi isn't anymore IRC specific client, you could easily take the
+ whole IRC part away and use some other chat protocol instead, or
+ use both at the same time. Currently however, only IRC protocol
+ is supported. See docs/design.txt for more information.
+
+ * libPropList isn't needed anymore - I'm using my own configuration
+ library. This is mostly because different proplists worked a bit
+ differently everywhere and several people had problems with it.
+ It's also yet another extra library that you needed to compile
+ Irssi. New configuration library has several advantages:
+
+ You can add comments to configuration file and they also stay
+ there when it's saved.
+
+ It's not nearly as vulnerable as proplist. If some error occurs,
+ instead of just not reading anything it will try to continue if
+ possible. Also the error messages are written to irssi's text
+ window instead of stdout.
+
+ It can be managed more easily than proplist - setting/getting the
+ configuration is a lot more easier.
+
+ * Coding style changes - I'm not using gint, gchar etc. anymore,
+ they're just extra pain when moving code to non-glib projects and
+ syntax hilighting doesn't work by default with most editors ;)
+
+ Indentation style was also changed to K&R because of some political
+ reasons ;) And I'm already starting to like it.. :) It forces me
+ to split code to different functions more often and the result is
+ that the code gets more readable.
+
+ And finally I'm also using `const' all over the place.
+
+ * Signal handlers changed - you don't anymore return value 0 if you
+ wish to stop signal. Instead use signal_stop() or
+ signal_stop_by_name().
+
+ + Flood protection when sending commands to server works now better.
+ It allows sending first 5 messages immediately, but after that
+ only one message is sent every 2.2 seconds.
+
+ This is the same flood protection that most IRC servers use, so
+ the only affect this protection has is that when sending a lot of
+ commands to server you won't get kicked out from server because of
+ "excessive flood".
+
+ This can be changed from settings `cmd_max_at_once' and
+ `cmd_queue_speed'. If you want to disable this for some reason, use
+ /SET cmd_queue_speed 0
+ + Split windows in text version, all the normal ircII /WINDOW
+ commands should work: new, kill, grow, shrink, balance, show, hide
+ + /EVAL <commands> - Expand all the special variables from string and
+ run it. Commands can be split with ; character. See
+ docs/special_vars.txt for more info.
+ + Aliases are parsed just like /EVAL - arguments are in $0..$9.
+ + Text formats are also parsed like /EVAL, arguments used to be in
+ $1..$9, now they're in $0..$8 so it messes up existing themes..
+ + /SET [key [value]] - no more the '=' character. Boolean values
+ also need to be changed with ON/OFF/TOGGLE values (not yes/no).
+ + /SAVE [<filename>] - saves the settings to file.
+ /REHASH [<filename>] - re-read the configuration file on the fly
+ + /TOGGLE <key> [ON/OFF] - same as /SET <key> TOGGLE
+ + /ALIAS [-]<alias> [<command>], /UNALIAS <alias>
+ Show, add or remove aliases. /ALIAS -alias = /UNALIAS alias
+ + /NOTIFY [-list] [-away] [-idle [minutes]] <mask> [ircnet [ircnet...]]
+ -away notifies about away-status changes
+ -idle notifies if idle time is first larger than `minutes'
+ (default is hour) and then it drops down.
+ -list lists the notify list entries with all their settings
+ /UNNOTIFY <mask>
+
+ /NOTIFY without any arguments displays if the people in notify
+ list are online or offline.
+ + /HILIGHT [-nick | -regexp | -word] [-color <color>]
+ [-level <level>] [-channels <channels>] <text>
+ -nick: match only for nick
+ -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
+ -word: `text' must match to full words
+ -color: print the reply with `color' - color can be a bold (^B),
+ underline (^_) etc. too
+ -level: match only for `level' messages, default is
+ publics,msgs,notices,actions
+ -channels: match only in `channels'
+ /DEHILIGHT <ref#> | <text>
+ + /LASTLOG [-] [-new] [-regexp | -word] [-<level> [...]]
+ [<pattern>] [<count> [<start>]]
+ -: don't print the "Lastlog:" and "End of Lastlog" messages.
+ -new: show only lines since last /LASTLOG
+ -regexp: `text' is a regular expression
+ -word: `text' must match to full words
+ -level: what levels to check, like -public -msgs (default is all)
+ <pattern>: text to search for, or all if empty
+ <count>: maximum number of lines to show
+ <start>: skip the last `start' lines
+ + /IGNORE [-regexp | -word] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except]
+ [-channels <channel>] <mask> <levels> <^levels>
+ -regexp: `pattern' is a regular expression
+ -word: `pattern' must match to full words
+ -pattern: <pattern> must match to the message's text
+ -except: *DON'T* ignore
+ -channels: ignore only in channels
+ <mask>: either a nick mask or list of channels
+ <levels>: list of levels to ignore
+ <^levels>: list of levels to NOT ignore
+ (/ignore -except nick notices = /ignore nick ^notices)
+ /UNIGNORE <ref#> | <mask>
+
+ The best match always wins, so you can have:
+ /IGNORE * CTCPS
+ /IGNORE -except *!*@host.org CTCPS
+ + /LOG OPEN [-noopen] [-autoopen] [-targets <targets>] [-window]
+ [-rotate hour|day|month] <filename> [<levels>]
+ -noopen: create the entry to log list, but don't start logging
+ -autoopen: automatically open this log file at startup
+ -targets: log only in specified channels/nicks
+ -window: Log this window
+ -rotate: Reopen the log file every hour, day or month. This
+ makes only sense if you specify date/time formats
+ to file name.
+ <filename>: File name where to log, it is parsed with strftime(),
+ so %d=day, etc. see "man strftime" for more info.
+ <levels>: Defaults to ALL
+ /LOG CLOSE <ref#> | <fname> - close log and remove from log list
+ /LOG START <ref#> | <fname> - start logging to file
+ /LOG STOP <ref#> | <fname> - stop logging to file
+ /LOG - display the log list
+ NOTE: Log files are locked after opened, so two irssi's can't
+ accidentally try to write to same log file.
+ + /WINDOW LOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE [<filename>]
+ Start/stop logging window, same as /LOG OPEN -window. If file name
+ isn't given, it defaults to ~/irc.log.<windowname> or
+ ~/irc.log.Window<ref#> if window doesn't have name.
+ /WINDOW LOGFILE <filename>
+ Creates the entry to log list, same as /LOG OPEN -window -noopen.
+ Also, if /WINDOW LOG ON is used it starts logging to this file.
+ + /SET AUTOLOG ON|OFF|TOGGLE
+ /SET AUTOLOG_LEVEL <level>
+ /SET AUTOLOG_PATH <path> - expandos can be used, $0 is the target.
+ Enables automatic logging, files are automatically created as
+ needed and after some time of inactivity, they are closed. If you
+ are using multiple servers, it makes sense to use the server tag
+ as part of the file name, for example ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log (this
+ is the default).
+ + /SET window_auto_change - if enabled, irssi will automatically
+ change to automatically created windows (like queries). It will
+ also clear your command line and put it to command history so that
+ you don't accidentally write anything to wrong window. You'll get
+ the command back by pressing up arrow.
+ + /SET show_quit_once - show quit message only once instead of in
+ all channel windows the nick was joined.
+ + Server reconnections work better. It will now automatically set
+ your previous user mode and away message (and rejoin the channels,
+ which it already did before) after reconnected. If you use /SERVER
+ to connect to different IRC network, none of this will be done.
+ + /CAT <filename> - prints the file to screen
+ + /SET query_auto_close <secs> - automatically close queries after
+ <secs> seconds. It won't close queries that have unread messages,
+ and it won't close queries in the active window.
+
+v0.7.28 2000-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ + irssi-text: New improved "text widget". It takes less memory and
+ if you resize the terminal horizonally, the text automatically
+ changes to right size. Several other changes too:
+
+ /CLEAR only clears the screen, you can still scroll the window up.
+ /SCROLLBACK, or the default alias /SB:
+ /SB CLEAR - Clear screen, free all memory used by texts in window.
+ /SB HOME - Jump to start of the buffer
+ /SB END - Jump to end of the buffer
+ /SB GOTO [[-|+]line#|time] - Jump to specified line or timestamp.
+
+ -100 jumps back 100 lines, +100 jumps forward 100 lines, or
+ 100 simply jumps to 100. line in scrollback.
+
+ Time is the format [dd.mm | -<days ago>] hh:mi[:ss]
+
+ Examples:
+ /SB GOTO 15:00 - Jump to first text that came after 15:00 today
+ /SB GOTO -1 15:00 - First text after 15:00 yesterday
+ /SB GOTO 1.2 - First text in 1. February
+ /SB GOTO -100 - Jump back 100 lines
+ /SB GOTO +100 - Jump for
+
+ + After lost connection to server and reconnected or changed the
+ server manually with /SERVER, Irssi will rejoin back to the same
+ channels that you were in before disconnection. They will also be
+ placed to same windows they were, even if you were in same channel
+ in multiple servers.
+ + /SERVERS and disconnect dialog displays also servers that are
+ being currently connected and waiting reconnections. You can remove
+ them with /DISCONNECT <tag>.
+ + If you are in multiple irc servers and the active server of the
+ window isn't the same as where the message came from, the message
+ is prefixed with a [server tag].
+ + If you don't specify the path for Perl scripts, Irssi tries to
+ find them from ~/.irssi/scripts/ or /usr/lib/irssi/scripts/
+ directories. Irssi will also run automatically scripts in
+ ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ at startup. Several other updates to
+ Perl support too.
+ + Support for ircII translation tables, /set translation <file>
+ See /usr/share/ircII/translation/* (at least in Debian)
+ + /ACTION <target> <text> - Send action to target (like /ME), target
+ is either #channel, nick or =dcc_char_nick
+ + 5 CTRL-C's in a row quits irssi-text.
+ + %| in themes marks the line indentation position - works only in
+ irssi-text for now..
+ + You can have several msgs/status windows, one for each server.
+ + Option: start GNOME panel applet at startup
+ + --without-gtk option for configure disables building GTK frontend
+ + /LAST -new shows only the texts that came after latest /LAST.
+ - Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
+ window (try #2 :)
+ - Several (Perl) compilation problems fixed.
+ - Text hilight color was dark grey, changed to white..
+ - /LAST doesn't display the texts found from previous /LAST blocks
+ - Fixed a few memory leaks
+
+v0.7.27 2000-02-25 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ * Perl support - finally! Took only a year or so to imlement it ;)
+ Well, I could have done it ages ago but it wouldn't have had
+ all the flexibility it now has - you should be able to do almost
+ anything with perl scripts. See DOCS/PERL for some documentation
+ and examples/ directory for a couple of example scripts.
+
+ This is the very first version and I haven't even tested that all
+ functions work correctly! Any suggestions are welcome. I don't
+ really like the values() functions so if someone knows better ways
+ to do them I'd really like to hear.
+
+ BTW. I haven't had time to learn Perl well yet, so my scripts are
+ probably not the best examples.. :)
+
+ If for some reason you don't wish to use Perl, you can disble it
+ with giving --disable-perl to configure.
+
+ + /CYCLE [#channel] - parts/rejoins the channel
+ + Autojoining doesn't switch automatically to the joined channel's
+ window.
+ + Server tag generation is a bit smarter now.
+ + irssi-text: Resizing terminal works now right even if your curses
+ don't have resizeterm() function.
+ - /NAMES crashed when done in a non-channel window
+ - irssi-text: Resizing terminal when irssi had some empty windows
+ messed them up..
+ - toggle_show_nickmode didn't actually do anything :) It was
+ always on..
+
+v0.7.26 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ - Space (and maybe other keys) didn't work when caps/numlock was on.
+
+v0.7.25 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+
+ + /WQUERY - create query to current window
+ + Irssi doesn't close the window anymore when using /PART
+ + irssi-text also displays user's address in topic bar in queries.
+ + /NAMES list is now displayed sorted
+ + irssi-text: /WINDOW MOVE PREV|NEXT
+ - Topic bar sometimes displayed some other channel's topic if the
+ channel didn't have a topic.
+ - Irssi automatically changed to auto-created query windows..
+ - When using /WINDOW CLOSE it didn't change to different window
+ - Made fontset_load() optional - it broke some fonts..
+ - Using Ctrl-B (bold) didn't move the cursor
+
+v0.7.24 2000-02-19 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> [stable]
+
+ + French translation
+ + Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation translation, now with
+ the right pot file name :)
+ + Using fontset_load() instead of font_load(), helps with using
+ some fonts (by hashao@telebot.com)
+ + /TS - display topics of all channels you're joined
+ + Automatically change to the created window
+ + Option: Show op/voice status in channel messages before nick.
+ + irssi-text: Displays topic bar op the top of the screen -
+ /set toggle_show_topicbar = yes|no
+ + Recognize +a (anonymous) and +r (reop when opless) modes
+ + Don't allow any setup file changes or log writing if another irssi
+ session is running.
+ + /whois without any arguments gives a whois of yourself
+ - Irc network list was still corrupted in channel dialog.
+ - /LIST dialog - users column is now sorted numerically
+ (10 shows after 9, not after 1)..
+ - Log setup dialog: Clear all button was over Client errors
+ toggle button.
+ - /LAST's output displayed some crap in log file.
+ - irssi-text should work better with other curses libraries than
+ ncurses
+ - irssi-text should work better with non-black backgounds
+ - Fixed tab completion when completion char was comma
+ - Couple of configure bugs fixed
+ - Specifying source host (vhosts) didn't work.
+ - DCC resume had been broken quite a while
+
+v0.7.23 2000-01-23 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
+
+ + channel's key (+k key) is displayed in irssi-text's statusbar if it
+ has one.
+ + Nick hilight detector is a bit smarter now, for example if your
+ nick happens to be "its", "it's blahblah" doesn't trigger it..
+ + colorless irssi-text (/set colors = no): activity list is split in
+ two, Act and Det lists. Det displays list of windows where there's
+ new messages for you.
+ - /LAST without any parameters crashed
+ - if queried nick was changed, GUI didn't notice it.
+ - config file was invalid in .22
+ - irssi text widget didn't work in .22
+ - dcc transfers always displayed 0.00kB/s in .22
+
+v0.7.22 2000-01-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
+
+ + configure displays a summary of things to compile
+ + /set colors = yes|no, sets colors on/off in irssi-text
+ + /window goto active now finds first the window with the higest
+ activity (msgs to you -> msgs -> rest). Alt-A is also default key
+ shortcut for this
+ + When connection is lost to server, irssi will remember the channels
+ in windows. After reconnected, (auto)joining to same channels will
+ join the channels to the old windows.
+ + Improved hilighting: You can specify what color to hilight the text
+ with, to channel field type the (mirc) color number, like
+ "4 #blah" hilights the text with red in channel #blah, both color
+ and channel(s) are optional. You can also hilight nicks' colors, to
+ text field type "NICK:nick!mask", like NICK:nick, or
+ NICK:*!*@*.blah.fi hilights people from blah.fi domain
+ - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
+ - Some kB/s messages displayed wrong values when resuming DCC
+ transfers. Also, kB/s is now displayed with two decimals
+ - "Day changed to 00-10-2000" .. month was wrong. No Y2K bugs
+ however ;)
+ - List of ircnets was displyed wrong in server dialog.
+ - Userhost replies didn't handle ircops right..
+ - Doesn't quit when receives SIGHUP - some window managers send it
+ when restarting itself (Afterstep)
+ - Specifying "source host IP" didn't work (vhosts).
+ - Using ctrl-b etc. didn't move the cursor forward..
+ - Don't try to compile GTK parts of plugins if we don't even want
+ build GTK irssi
+ - Doesn't crash when trying to create DCC dialog after being
+ disconnected from IRC server
+ - Modeless channels (+channel) didn't get synced ever..
+ - Some transparency fixes, it's a lot faster now when moving the
+ window, but it's still too slow when creating it, not sure why..
+
+v0.7.21 1999-12-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ + Irssi-text: Channel activities are displayed with different colors
+ in statusbar
+ + Keeps track of "wanted nick", ie. the nick you specified in the
+ setup or to /server or /nick. When reconnecting to server it always
+ tries the wanted nick before falling back to alternate nicks.
+ + IRC Network specific settings: nick, username, realname,
+ max. kicks/modes/msgs per command.
+ + Transparency works
+ + Automatic logging when you're away. Set it on/off from settings/misc
+ + /connect and /server changes the server in the current window if
+ the window isn't channel or query.
+ + Wallop actions are displayed right
+ + Ctrl-N/P keys change to previous/next window
+ + Polish translation updated
+ + /channel next, /channel prev - changes to next/previous channel in
+ the current window. Ctrl-X is by default bound to /channel next.
+ - /WHO could crash irssi
+ - /join !!channel crashed
+
+v0.7.20.1 1999-11-28 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ * I just started #irssi in irc.openprojects.net too.. It's still in
+ IRCNet too, don't know yet if I'll keep both or drop the other one..
+
+ + You can use %n as current nick with aliases
+ - Closing a window with split windows open crashed
+ - Channel widgets weren't being updated when joined to channel in
+ empty window
+ - configure didn't check if we wanted to build MySQL plugin or not,
+ now it's built only if you give --with-mysql to configure
+ - Using the whois, ping, etc. buttons in queries crashed
+
+v0.7.20 1999-11-27 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ + Polish and finnish translations started
+
+ + SQL plugin which doesn't do much, currently supports MySQL only.
+ Meant to be used by other plugins.
+
+ + Botnet to bot plugin - it should already be possible to create a
+ big bot network with this (each bot having multiple clients +
+ uplink). The functionality is limited only to BCAST message for
+ now which sends a message to all bots. Read docs/botnet.txt for my
+ plans for it :)
+
+ - If plugins failed in initialization (plugin_init()), irssi could
+ crash.
+ - Server settings (nick, realname, etc.) were saved to different
+ place in configuration file than where they were read from..
+ So, saving them didn't really work.
+ - Plugin autoloading didn't work
+ - When trying to show channel's window from panel and you weren't
+ using helvetica font (itext's internal default), irssi crashed..
+ - Irssi crashed if you didn't have menubar enabled and didn't
+ compile with gnome.
+ - When invalid theme was found from global directory, irssi
+ complained about it every time. Now the fixed theme is saved to
+ ~/.irssi/ directory and used thereafter.
+ - Deleting ircnets didn't work right
+
+v0.7.19 1999-11-20 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ * Text formats changed - they should be compatible with epic/bx now.
+ See docs/FORMATS for more information
+
+ + Internationalization support - finally. No languages yet though..
+
+ + /window new split creates a new splitted window
+ + Automatic text replaces, useful for things like :9 -> :) .. This
+ is actually almost same as completions, except they are activated
+ with different keys..
+ + Nicklist popup menu is configurable
+ + ~/.irssi/startup - add all commands here you want to run at startup
+ + Much more levels for ignoring/logging/etc. See docs/COMMANDS for a
+ list
+ + Ignoring joins, parts, etc. work, ignoring channels work
+ + Automatically loading plugins at startup works in irssi-text and
+ irssibot too
+ + Autoaccept dcc get/chat from given nick/address
+ + /help
+ + Server/Links dialog, displays list of servers in tree view.
+ Doubleclicking a hub asks the servers behind the hub (doesn't seem
+ to work in efnet)
+ + /server +irc.server.net does the same as /connect irc.server.net
+ + Nicklist is resizeable
+ + Buttons for closing and moving window left/right
+ + Query windows display nick's address in topic widget and the
+ address isn't displayed in every msg in query windows.
+ + It's possible to add bold/colors/etc to default quit message
+ + MIRC colors are finally displayed with right colors
+ + You can run multiple command in alias, separate them with &&.
+ You can create a & character with \&
+ + Hilighting changes: Your own /msgs won't trigger channel activity,
+ received private messages get the "new text" color
+ + /MODE accepts multiple modes at once and they're split automatically
+ to 3 modes/command, like /MODE #chan +oooooo nick1,nick2,.. is
+ split to two commands which are sent to server.
+ + /KICK, /MSG, /NOTICE, /CTCP and /NCTCP are also automatically split
+ into multiple real commands. /KICK can kick max. 4 nicks per
+ command, privmsg/notice can send max. 3 nicks per command.
+ + Option: Show timestamps in msgs.
+ - Joining to channel from channels dialog that had password set
+ didn't work.
+ - When scrolling, Irssi text widget sometimes left black spots in
+ text area if some other window was overlaping it.
+ - DCC resumes still didn't work
+ - Fixed some memory leaks
+
+v0.7.18.1 1999-11-04 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
+
+ - Window didn't scroll if you were using GtkText
+ - Resuming DCC transfers could mess up the existing transfers with
+ the same nick..
+ - Some PONGs were displayed on screen if you were enough lagged..
+ - --help works now without gnome (gtk/text versions)
+ - Sending data to irc server/dcc chats/proxy's clients/etc. won't
+ block forever anymore - I once got it to happen with proxy..
+ - Some fixes for channel limit/key widgets above nicklist
+ - Speech plugin works now right with timestamps enabled
+ - irssibot (gui-none) doesn't crash at startup anymore and it doesn't
+ link with ui-common anymore. Also added a --load / -l command line
+ option to specify what plugin to load at startup. Default = bot
+
+v0.7.18 1999-10-18 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [stable]
+
+ * Finally a version I dare to call stable :) Just a bugfix release
+ for 0.7.17 but it had only a few problems..
+
+ * Status window is now off by default
+
+ - Sound and speech plugins weren't working.
+ - Proxy plugin shouldn't crash now while not connected to server
+ - Using some menuitems crashed when using the popup menus instead of
+ menubar.
+ - Removed a Gdk-Critical warning when opening themes dialog without
+ GNOME
+ - When resuming DCC transfers the average transfer rate was incorrect
+ - If you tried to connect to server while themes dialog was open,
+ it crashed.
+ - Several problems fixed with changing background pixmaps
+ - Fixes for building from different directory
+ - Trying to save theme crashed..
+
+v0.7.17 1999-10-16 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ + Irssi text widget! (replaces zvt)
+ - supports proportional fonts
+ - FAST
+ - background pixmaps (scaled, tiled, scrollable, shaded)
+
+ + Proxy plugin - Unlike other irc proxies, this is more than just a
+ simple proxy. You can connect to it from multiple clients at the
+ same time, but each client will use the _same_ irc session, so you
+ can keep one irc client open all the time in your home, one at
+ work, one at wc, etc. All the clients get the same "normal"
+ messages from server, but if you request a /whois or /who or some
+ other commands, the reply will be sent to only the client that
+ requested it. Check README how to use it.
+
+ + Irssi is now much faster catching up things after joined to
+ channel, it asks channels' MODE and WHO first, all with the same
+ command (WHO #a,#b,#c), after them it asks the ban lists etc. less
+ important things.
+ + Workaround for GTK themes eating X server's memory
+ + Command line arguments:
+ -c server [-p port] : connects to server at startup
+ -! : don't autoconnect to any servers
+ -n : specify nick to use (override setup)
+ + Server lag displayed in statusbar, you can also set irssi to
+ automatically disconnect from server if it is too lagged
+ + Channel limit and key is displayed above nicklist
+ + Number of ops and total number of nicks in channel is displayed
+ + Nicklist background color can be changed
+ + Each window can have it's own command history buffer
+ + Try to let the server disconnect the socket (5 sec timeout) to make
+ sure that quit message gets through.
+ + Improved /gwhois dialog
+ + Setup dialogs are resizeable
+ + You can specify what port to use with DCC.
+ - Channel dialog fixes: after editing channel, it was moved to the
+ end of the list, opening multiple channels edit dialogs didn't
+ work right
+ - Reconnecting to server didn't work (always)
+ - Giving multiple nicks for /gwhois messed up irssi
+
+v0.7.16 1999-09-13 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ + Started bot plugin, it has simple user management functions and
+ auto-opping/voicing done (but it does it well :)
+ + "channel synced" text doesn't trigger channel activity anymore
+ + Rawlog displays where event was redirected
+ + /wjoin - you can join multiple channels in same window
+ + /window goto #channel - moves you to window with the
+ channel, query or dcc chat
+ + /window goto active - moves you to first window with activity
+ + /list and /names complains if they're run without any arguments,
+ -YES overrides this
+ + Giving -nogui parameter to /list and /who commands doesn't use the
+ GUI dialog
+ + All the dialogs that have clist widget: you can resize columns and
+ sort the list by clicking the headers
+ + /list and /who dialogs displays total number of items and the list
+ is searchable
+ + Autojoining to channels work with irssi-text too
+ + /gwhois dialog has now refresh button, /gwhois is used when clicking
+ whois from nicklist popup menu
+ - Restoring saved window size didn't work very accurately, restoring
+ position also had some problems..
+ - Rawlog doesn't crash anymore if not connected to server
+ - Notifylist and checking of who uses your nick uses WHOIS again,
+ WHO didn't display user info unless s/he was -i or in same
+ channels..
+ - You had to run /list a couple of times until it worked..
+ - WHO was sent to people who joined channel to find out who they
+ were, unfortunately it had a small bug and didn't work..
+ - DCC didn't work with IPv6
+
+v0.7.15-3 1999-08-31 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ * _TOO_ many bugs in .15, mostly compilation problems, I really
+ should test things better when I release them. This will be the
+ last time, I swear :)
+
+ + Rawlog window, /rawlog <file name> also saves it.
+ + --without-imlib configure switch
+ - After opened themes dialog, "(none)" window appeared, after opening
+ it, irssi crashed.
+ - "day changed" message was displayed at startup
+ - Addresses in DCC connections were displayed wrong
+ - Didn't compile without gnome
+ - The first .15 didn't compile without IPv6 support, -2 fixed it
+
+v0.7.15 1999-08-29 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ * Only week since last version, much better :) Lots of internal
+ changes, hope they work right. No "weird crashes" found since last
+ version, 0.8.0 can't be too far away :)
+
+ CVS is also working again, no anonymous but I can give access if
+ someone wants.
+
+ + IPv6 support - yet another thing irssi is one of the first to
+ support ;) Give --enable-ipv6 switch to configure to compile it.
+ Because of IPv6 addresses naming style (xxx:xxx:xxx..), /server
+ server:port doesn't work anymore, you have to use /server
+ server port instead.
+
+ + Sound plugin updates, should work much better
+ + Default config file is build into irssi, it's used if no other
+ configuration file is found
+ + Implemented "idle queue", list of commands which should be sent to
+ server when there's nothing else to send.. Changed CTCPs to use
+ this.
+ + "massjoin" signal is sent when people join to channel, if many
+ people join to channel quickly (netjoins), it waits for a while
+ before everyone are joined and then sends the signal. This is used
+ to update nicklist more quickly and some other internal stuff.
+ + /msg <tab> completion: after you send msg to someone, the nick will
+ go first in completion list.
+ + Giving --with-servertest to configure now builds test irc server
+ which you can use to try crash irc clients :)
+ + /sv displays system name and revision and irssi's website url
+ + You can give server password to /server as /server server port pass
+ + /unban completion, eg. /unban *!*@*.de unbans *!*@hu232hu2.blah.de
+ + /rmreconns removes all servers from reconnect list. I hate it when
+ some server is down and irssi tries to reconnect it every 5 minutes
+ and there was no way to cancel it..
+ + Displays day change message in all windows if you're using
+ timestamps
+ + Realname is displayed in statusbar when mouse is moved over nick
+ in nicklist
+ + /last displays the last buffer only from the current window
+ + option: beep when you receive private message
+ + Typing /dcc without any arguments is same as /dcc list
+ + Some code rearranging, moved more code to ui-common from gui-xxx
+ + IPv6 for /ban, it bans all the last 64k addresses .. not sure if
+ it's THAT good idea but did it anyway.
+ - DCC resume was broken.
+ - If someone quit from one ircnet but stayed on another, the nick was
+ removed from both ircnets' channels.
+ - Irssi tried to find it's default config from
+ $prefix/etc/irssi/irssi/config (one irssi too much :)
+ - You couldn't use ~/ when saving window buffer
+ - Trying to save window buffer twice crashed irssi
+ - ZVT transparency couldn't be removed on the fly
+ - Using find/new/close buttons in toolbar crashed
+ - Doesn't complain anymore about "You're not channel operator" with
+ some irc networks that don't understand e or I modes
+ - /ban removed ident-character from username (~blah@ -> blah@) so bans
+ didn't work..
+ - /knockout calculated the time left wrongly.
+ - irssi added -I/usr/include to compile parameters which broke
+ compiling with several platforms..
+ - Irssibot notified about new development version when there was none
+ - Some problems/crashes fixed with plugin support
+ - --without-socks didn't do anything..
+ - Password should first be sent to server first, not after nick/user.
+ At least MUH (irc proxy) didn't like it.
+
+v0.7.14 1999-08-22 Timo Sirainen <cras@irccrew.org> [unstable]
+
+ !!! My E-mail changed to cras@irccrew.org, don't use the old one
+ !!! anymore!
+
+ * Hm.. Again a month since last version, 3 weeks should be max :)
+ Hopefully this one will be bugfree, so I could finally release a
+ "stable" version.. (somehow I think I'll end up with 0.7.14-2
+ anyway.. ;)
+
+ * Irssi uses now libPropList to read and save configuration file, so
+ you need to have libPropList installed, it's also in different
+ format so your old config file doesn't work anymore.
+
+ Configuration file is located now in ~/.irssi/config file.
+ Themes are also now stored in separate files in ~/.irssi/*.theme
+
+ + Irssi can now notify you about new versions, you can also directly
+ download them with DCC. (This will probably be changed to HTTP
+ instead of using irssibot in IRC..)
+
+ + User interface changes (settings, menus) as suggested by
+ James M. Cape <jcape@jcinteractive.com>
+ + You can use ctrl-b,c,g,v,- when setting realname
+ + /version [server] - prints irssi version and irc server's version
+ + /ver [nick/channel] - sends ctcp version to nick/channel
+ + /sv [nick/channel] - sends irssi version text to nick/channel
+ + Added widget depends to several places, changed several modal
+ dialogs to use gui_widget_depends() instead
+ + Added Socks5 initialization, maybe it works now?
+ + You can specify what host address you want to use if you have many..
+ + Away and kick reason dialog have history
+ + irssi-text option: activity list can be sorted by window number
+ You can change this with /set toggle_actlist_moves=yes/no
+ + /msg <text><tab> completes now people in current channel too
+ + You can set channel password in channel dialog
+ + /SET [key [=value / [key [key..]] - /SET displays all settings,
+ /set key key2 displays values of key and key2, /set key=value sets
+ key to value.
+ + DCC GET now gets all the files coming from user if file name isn't
+ specified. DCC CLOSE also can close all dcc connections from user.
+ + The whole usermode is now displayed in statusbar, it used to display
+ only the modes it knew (+iwsr)
+ + Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P go to next/previous window
+ - When using zvt and joining to new channels, window size grew bigger
+ - /msg <tab> completion was a bit buggy, if someone sent you multiple
+ messages, you had to press tab multiple times until the nick changed
+ to someone else..
+ - Defaut format for signon time in whois displayed nick instead of
+ the signon time..
+ - Disconnecting server while it was still trying to connect hung irssi
+ - If old configuration file wasn't found, irssi (could have?) crashed
+ on startup .. Could this really happen?!? Why did nobody tell me??
+ - irssi-text finally handles screen resizing right
+ - Gnome panel applet works with "old" (like non-cvs now :) panels
+ too.
+ - If you left from channel before syncing was done, syncing stopped
+ working after it..
+ - Removing ban exceptions didn't update irssi's internal list
+ - Rejecting dcc chat didn't work properly, when receiving reject
+ get/send irssi didn't remove it from dcc lists
+ - Save/find dialogs weren't working after being closed.
+ - irssi-text complained about "Not enough parameters given" when
+ pressing entry in empty line
+ - Mirc colors weren't removed properly for logs and could have
+ crashed irssi
+ - Using /ban with mask (x!x@x) instead of nick crashed
+ - gui_widget_depends() wasn't working properly - didn't harm much :)
+
+v0.7.13-2 1999-07-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * Again, a small bugfix release
+
+ + You can specify what string to send to IRC proxy after connected,
+ this lets at least some proxies work with irssi.
+ + Notifylist now displays which irc network nick joined/left (or if
+ unknown, just IRC)
+ - After closing some window, the numbers in window tabs didn't get
+ updated
+ - /window next and prev didn't work properly
+ - status/msgs windows got destroyed a while after joining to channel..
+ or simply by doing "/mode (status)" command ..
+ - We don't try to DCC SEND file via dcc chat if the other side is
+ using mirc ctcps.
+ - Default setting or autodetection of mirc ctcps weren't working.
+ - Actions from mirc users in dcc chat was displayed in double.
+
+v0.7.13 1999-07-21 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * %p in text formats is changed to $, looks much cleaner :) Old
+ formats in configuration files are automatically converted.
+
+ * I got some documentation done! :) I wrote a list of all commands
+ irssi knows with (very) short descriptions, see COMMANDS file
+
+ + Hebrew support by Ronen Tzur <rtzur@shani.net> - see README-HEBREW
+ + Users with gone-flag are displayed with different color in nicklist
+ List is updated with USERHOST commands in small pieces every now and
+ then..
+ + Statusbar with some information in it ..
+ + Away message is displayed differently in /whois and /msged people
+ who's gone
+ + /window goto <n>, /window prev, /window next
+ + /window level [+/-]pub/msgs/...
+ /window level msgs - creates messages window
+ /window level all -msgs - creates status window
+ + /bantype <normal/host/domain/custom>
+ - Normal - *!user@*.domain.net
+ - Host - *!*@host.domain.net
+ - Domain - *!*@*.domain.net
+ - Custom [nick] [user] [host] [domain]
+ eg. /bantype custom nick domain - nick!*@*.domain.net
+ eg. /bantype custom user host - *!user@host.domain.net
+ + /version - just displays version number..
+ + You can use different font in each channel
+ + Alt-q..o changes channels to 11..19
+ + Color configuration changes..
+ + irssi-text : Reading manuals help ;) Text's backgound color isn't
+ changed to black anymore so pixmaps etc. should show up nicely :)
+ + /notify nick!mask@* [ircnets], /unnotify
+ + When trying to connect to server, you can abort it with the
+ cancel button in statusbar
+ + First parameter of /disconnect is now * (current server) or
+ server tag
+ + You can now use !channels with their short names (not always)
+ + Right clicking nick in channel pops up nicklist menu
+ + You can select multiple nicks from nicklist and execute the command
+ for all of them.
+ + Panel applet supports panel size changes
+ + Window tabs have numbers now
+ + Ctrl-N changes to next window, Ctrl-P changes to previous window
+ - Max. autoget size didn't work right, it got the file if the file was
+ bigger than the max. size.. and it was compared as bytes, not kB's.
+ - Panel applet should now work right
+ - Hilight words feature was completely broken
+ - DCC Chats were displayed twice in status dialog
+ - Closing DCC chat still had a few problems
+ - After trying to join to channel where you could get in (invite only,
+ banned, etc.) the created channel window wasn't destroyed.
+ - configure didn't check -lnsl right..
+ - Channel settings weren't read in the correct order -> autojoining
+ to channels created the windows in reverse order every time.
+ - ZVT in GNOME CVS broke irssi.. Fixed.
+ - Quit message wasn't displayed if there was some commands waiting
+ for transmit - quit was added to transmit queue and connection
+ closed..
+ - Matching irc masks (nick!host@address) was case-sensitive..
+
+v0.7.12 1999-07-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * #irssi is now started in IRCnet
+
+ * Release #2 :) The next day..
+ + configure checks for -lnsl too
+ + changed default font to fixed size so I wouldn't have to hear all
+ the time how screen is messed up with zvt :)
+ - background color couldn't be changed with zvt
+ - irssi-text sometimes crashed at startup because of uninitialized
+ variable..
+ - you had to use --without-gnome-panel even if you didn't build
+ fwith gnome
+
+ + Colorless theme, should be easy to start a new theme with using
+ this. You need to copy the [theme:colorless] section to
+ ~/.irssi.conf (or ~/.gnome/irssi whatever you happen to use..) from
+ included irssi.conf to use this..
+ + You can DCC send and get files via DCC chat (don't need to be
+ connected to server), don't know if this works with any other client
+ or if any other client has this ability.. BitchX didn't seem to
+ have.
+ + /WALL [#channel] message - Send notice to all ops in channel
+ + /last [-pub -msgs etc..] <text> for text mode version
+ + Text mode version statusbar: -- more --, away (zZzZ)
+ + The "-!-" and "-!- Irssi:" texts and timestamp is now configurable
+ + Channel windows aren't destroyed anymore after getting disconnected
+ + /window close
+ + Outgoing flood protection: all commands you send to server are are
+ queued and sent every 2 seconds. (if queue is empty, the command is
+ sent immediately)
+ + Notify list popup dialogs are now optional
+ + /unalias (you could already do this with /alias)
+ + You can send Mirc style CTCPs now in DCC chat (preferences/dcc),
+ also if mirc user first sends ctcp, it's automatically set to
+ default for that dcc chat session.. You can also set it with
+ /mircdcc [y|n] or select from menu.
+ + Default color number in setup, this color is used if nothing else
+ is specified.
+ + Server reconnection - you can add several irc servers to setup with
+ same ircnet and autoconnect set and irssi goes through that list
+ every time server gets disconnected unintentionally.
+ + irssi-text word splits the lines. also if it needs to split the line
+ it leaves 10 empty spaces at the start of the next line.
+ + --without-gnome-panel switch to configure
+ - http://blah@a.b opened e-mail client instead of http client
+ - I set the socket non-blocking AFTER connect(), argh! This caused
+ irssi to hang when trying to dcc get from bogus IPs or something.
+ - Background color wasn't read right
+ - Log dialog had some bugs
+ - Banning ip addresses didn't work right
+ - Some DCC problems fixed..
+ - Some irssi-text bugs fixed
+
+v0.7.11 1999-06-06 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * Because of the color system changes, remove the [colors]
+ section from irssi's configuration file or you will get some weird
+ colors..
+
+ The colors are pretty much taken from BitchX, IMO it looks nice :)
+ But somehow I think many of you don't like it, so I made theme
+ selector. Just need to make a few default themes..
+
+ + Color system changed, the old one looked pretty ugly especially in
+ text mode version.. You can now have more than one color/line by
+ adding %fg[,bg] codes to text formats.. fg and bg are the normal
+ 0-15 colors, in GUI version (without ZVT) you can use up to 99
+ user specified colors.
+ + Theme selector
+ + Text mode version: Entry line editing is working great! Command line
+ history works, scrollback buffer works, statusbar is working (again,
+ copying bitchx..), reads configuration file .. This is starting to
+ become usable :)
+ + ZVT working better: font can be changed, transparency and background
+ pixmap can be changed on the fly, the ugly block cursor isn't
+ displayed anymore and wordclicking (urls, etc.) works.
+ + New GUI dialogs for /list, /who, /gwhois and when receiving invites
+ to channels.
+ + Channels dialog changed a bit. New "Quick join" dialog where you can
+ specify server and channel to join
+ + Mirc DCC resumes are working. By Trever Adams
+ (trever_adams@bigfoot.com)
+ + List of text strings to hilight
+ + Notify dialog is created when someone in notify list joins irc.
+ + Nick completion improvements, /msg nick<tab> works and in channels
+ you can complete nicks anywhere in the entry.
+ + Window save size/position dialog
+ + DCC send added to popup menus
+ + Removing lines from GtkText is really slow, so now they're removed
+ with several lines at a time. (default is 20)
+ + /window new [hidden] creates new window, /window server <server tag>
+ changes server in current channel, useful in text mode version..
+ + You can try to find memory leaks with giving --with-memdebug switch
+ to configure
+ - Still some bugs with DCC SEND fixed..
+ - DCC list dialog crashed if there were dcc chats open, it also caused
+ some random crashes when running..
+ - Maybe window size/position saving finally works right?
+ - g_(s)list_remove_link() didn't work as I had always thought .. It
+ moves the link into separate list and doesn't free memory used by
+ it like I thought.. So, inserted a few g_list_free_1() calls.
+ - When not using menubars, popup menu should have displayed all the
+ items in it, it got broken in .10.
+ - signal_add_after() didn't work right.. actually it had a wrong name
+ too, changed to signal_add_first() and made it to run these events
+ before the normal events. This makes ignoring work again.
+ - /notice was buggy
+ - Configuration file handling (GTK version) was still a bit buggy..
+ - Lots of small bug fixes here and there..
+
+v0.7.10 1999-05-09 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * ALL KNOWN CRASHES FIXED !! Weird, after changing the code with
+ creating channels to empty windows, GtkText widget started working
+ again, it used to crash after running the test ircserver for a
+ while.. Maybe a few more versions and I'll release a "stable"
+ labeled version again (08.0).
+
+ + GNOME version can use ZVT widget to draw texts. This is a lot faster
+ than GtkText and with it you can use nice non-scrolling backgrounds
+ and transparency! However, you'll have to use the default colors
+ with it for now and Window/Save Buffer or Find doesn't work in it.
+ !!NOTE!! ZVT in gnome 1.0.9 is buggy, it sometimes crashes when
+ destroying zvt widget (leaving channels). It should be fixed in next
+ version (which doesn't currently exist..)
+ + DCC transfer dialog, display list of all going dcc transfers, the
+ old dialogs can also be created.
+ + Channel specific background pixmaps, if you don't have Imlib you can
+ use only .xpm images.
+ + /ban and /unban changed, they accept multiple arguments and channel
+ name may be specified as the first argument
+ + dcc actions from mirc should work now
+ - Text widget size is now saved instead of the window's size, should
+ work better.
+ - Right clicking text widget created a popup menu, but select
+ selection got broken after it
+ - Some potential bugs fixed after got kicked from channel
+ - Log dialog was buggy
+ - If dcc chat was closed but the query window was still there, trying
+ to chat again with the same nick created another query window but
+ used the old one..
+ - C-C, C-B, etc. add the character at the end of the entry, not at the
+ current position
+ - Redirecting commands was a bit buggy, it always expected to receive
+ the specified events. This worked with ISON command, but I forgot
+ that WHOIS could also return "no such nick" events.. So, notifylist
+ should now work right instead of sometimes printing whois results.
+ - You couldn't use the normal control-? keys (c-left, c-right,
+ c-insert, ..)
+ - mirc colors were displayed with wrong colors
+ - Changed all isspace(), isdigit() and isalnum() calls to cast their
+ argument as (gint) to remove warnings when compiling with IRIX.
+ - Speech plugin wasn't working again..
+ - After changing text format from setup, you couldn't change any
+ other lines without closing setup dialog first
+ - Font couldn't be changed by editing the entry line
+ - /knockout format changed, it's now /knockout [timeout] nick reason
+ (so the reason can have number at the start of it..), it also used
+ to crash when unbanning
+ - DCC send fixed, fast send didn't work and without it it was eating
+ all cpu.
+ - DCC sending files with spaces in their name didn't work (they're
+ changed to _ now.)
+
+v0.7.9 1999-04-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + Server/status dialog, displays list of all connected servers,
+ channels, queries and dcc chats.
+ + Host resolving is now done in a child processes. Hopefully works
+ better than threads which aren't used anywhere anymore..
+ + Window/Save window size and Save window position, next time the same
+ window (status, msgs, channel, query) is opened the saved size
+ and/or position will be used.
+ + gui_widget_depends_data(), widget will be automatically destroyed
+ if the specified signal is called with the specified argument. Used
+ to destroy DCC request dialogs when they're closed manually, timed
+ out or rejected at the other end..
+ - Fixed lots of memory leaks which some might have caused crashes..
+ src/memdebug.c has the debug functions I used ..
+ - DCC CLOSE closed always the last dcc connection instead of the one
+ that matched the parameters
+ - Commented out all GUI_INPUT_EXCEPTIONs .. I don't even know when
+ exceptions are sent and why (I thought that only when some error
+ occured..), Linux doesn't seem to send them ever? IRIX however sends
+ them all the time which made irssi eating all cpu.
+ - Fixed compiling gui-text with systems that had only slang/slang.h
+ - gui_widget_depends() had some bugs
+ - adding irc networks by typing it's name when adding server didn't
+ update the GUI of ircnets list.
+ - If some plugins were already loaded, and loading new plugin failed
+ and it called plugin_deinit(), the call (might have) called some
+ other plugin's plugin_deinit() and crash.. Some updated to change
+ all global plugin functions to plugin_name_* calls so they wouldn't
+ call other modules functions..
+ - If day changed when logging, the log file contained the day change
+ lines before each line after that..
+ - Channel labels were hilighted even when the channel was selected..
+
+v0.7.8 1999-04-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * This version has lots of internal changes, I haven't tried them
+ much so hopefully everything works right..
+
+ + external plugin, reads commands from named pipe and executes them
+ + sample plugin updated, creating new plugins should when based on
+ this one
+ + gui-none is built, it tries to run bot plugin which doesn't exist..
+ + Moved the configuration code to the lowest level, made settings
+ to be common with all guis.
+ + /set command: /set [category[/key[=value]]] [all]
+ + /alias, /ignore and /unignore commands work again
+ + Nick completion finally working, and better than ever (unless it
+ has bugs of course ;). It tries to be smart when completing, first
+ it checks if someone with same letters had recently written message
+ to you, then it checks for nicks that recently wrote messages and
+ finally for the rest of the nicks in channel. Clicking tab more
+ scans the list. Clicking tab in empty line completes to /msg <nick
+ who sent you last message>. Before trying to complete nicks, tab
+ completion checks if the word is in setup's completion list.
+ + Wrote some functions to make possible handling events in different
+ places depending where the command which created the event was sent.
+ This is useful for example to notify list which needs to send ISON
+ requests but user should still be able to use /ison command
+ normally (this has always worked btw).
+ + Notify list's notify event now displays user's host and real name
+ (made with the previous functions which grabbed WHOIS). Notify list
+ GUI also updated for this
+ + You can use user/host masks with notify lists, wildcards are
+ allowed. Nick must always be specified (could be fixed but everyone
+ is invisible anyway so it would be useless). Examples:
+ friend!*friend*@*, friend_!*friend*@*,
+ another!*@*.blah.com, altnick!*@*.blah.com
+ + "your nick is owned by blah (blah@blah.org)" when connected
+ + Text formats page uses now GtkText widget, it displays colors too.
+ It's not perfect but better than before...
+ + There's now three different colors indicating what's happened in
+ channel: red = some text was written there, bright red = public
+ message, magenta = public message to you
+ + Ignore checking is now done by stopping the entire signal so
+ plugins etc. don't have to deal with them.
+ + You can use user/host masks with ignores
+ + Autoraise (in window menu) window when new message comes to channel
+ + Channel settings: You can specify list of bots (masks) and command
+ to send the first one found bot (nice for auto-opping ourself)
+ - Changing user modes from menus didn't work. Moved the menu under
+ server menu.
+ - Speech plugin problems fixed.. It didn't compile without gnome
+ libraries and with gnome libraries it didn't say anything because
+ for some reason one line in sources was commented out..
+ - IRC network things and server password didn't work because of stupid
+ little bug
+ - Configuration file handling was a bit broken in GTK version
+ - Rewrote menu handling in GTK version, it was crashing when trying
+ to load plugins..
+
+v0.7.7 1999-04-05 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + speech plugin :) This is currently made to work with festival
+ (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/), it's not very usable
+ but nice to play with :)
+ + C-b (bold), C-c (color), C-g (bell), C-v (reverse), C-- (underline)
+ keys work now but they don't display anything in entry line.
+ + Beel character beeps are now optional
+ + Fixes and new features for plugins. Each plugin has now it's own
+ menu under plugin menu and "Unload" menuitem there by default.
+ - GTK version didn't build .. again..
+ - I broke DCC send in 0.7.5
+ - SIGPIPE is ignored, maybe fixes some "crashes" when server
+ connection is lost (I never got this btw.)
+ - Using irssi with click to focus sent commands to window where mouse
+ cursor was..
+ - Fixed some bugs when scrollback buffer got full (GTK's text widget
+ seems to crash sometimes with small scrollback buffer and _lots_ of
+ text!)
+ - Plugin dialog didn't show any plugins
+ - Plugins are now created with automake things to make them portable
+ for compilers/linkers that don't work with -shared switch. The
+ disadvantage is that a lot of unnecessary files are created for
+ each plugin (.a, .la, .so.0, .so.0.0, .so.0.0.0) while irssi uses
+ only libplugin.so, could be fixed somehow but too difficult for me..
+ - Joining to +k channel crashed
+
+v0.7.6 1999-03-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * New default colors .. I think they're better, not the best possible
+ but anyway, I'm not good with these :)
+ + Text mode version working again with colors! :)
+ + New settings/servers dialog, changed connect and channels dialogs.
+ You can now automatically connect to multiple servers at startup.
+ All this made by Kari Lavikka (tuner@bdb.fi)
+ + Server password support
+ + IRC proxy support
+ + Right clicking the channel name in panel pops up channel menu
+ + private ctcp and notice messages now show up in query windows if
+ it exists for sender
+ - Fixed logging a bit, you can now log stuff from nicks without
+ having query window for them.
+ - If time stamps were enabled, log files had time stamps twice in each
+ line
+ - Color settings had some bugs
+ - GNOME version crashed if ~/.irssi.conf didn't exist .. because I
+ read the configuration file before gnome_init() which was necessary
+ for "create gnome panel applet" option in setup -> removed it
+
+v0.7.5 1999-03-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * Text mode version is broken and isn't built.
+ * Configuration file has changed quite a lot, might be better if you
+ would just erase the old one.. Server configuration is also going
+ to change soon..
+
+ + Plugins are back! But unfortunately I can't get perl plugin to work.
+ See TODO for more information.
+ + I divided setup dialogs to separate windows and grouped the options
+ to different frames so they actually make some sense now :) Also
+ some new options:
+ - Create GNOME panel applet
+ - Lots of DCC options, the page looked so lonely that I had
+ to put more options there :)
+ - get: autorename file if it exists (currently this is
+ done always..)
+ - autoget: max. file size to get
+ - fast send (don't wait for responses from the other
+ side, just keep sending the data..)
+ - upload path
+ - block size
+ - timeout
+ + Checks for slang/slang.h too ..
+ + Text mode version doesn't have my name/nick hardcoded in it
+ anymore :) Uses IRCNAME and IRCNICK environment variables.
+ + Status window is now optional, when enabled it grabs all
+ "status" messages there. This needed quite a lot of inner changes,
+ hopefully works :)
+ + /nctcp - send ctcp reply
+ + Window size is now saved when quitting and it's used when creating
+ windows in next session
+ - Fixed lots of GLib-CRITICAL messages when disconnected from server
+ while it was still trying to find ip address.
+ - Window/find should now scroll to right position and it doesn't
+ corrupt the text widget with inserting new texts to found texts
+ positions.. It's also case-insensitive now.
+ - Fixed compile error when building without gnome panel..
+
+v0.7.4 1999-03-13 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + Applet for GNOME panel working again
+ + You don't have to specify --without-gnome anymore, configure checks
+ this for you (finally)
+ + Some widget packing changes and tooltips for channel mode buttons
+ by Kari Lavikka <tuner@bdb.fi>
+ + Window/find moves the scrollbar to position where you can
+ actually see the found text (usually, find prev misses it
+ sometimes..)
+ - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog still wasn't working.
+ - Channel mode buttons didn't change if channel wasn't focused
+ - I added separators to menus in v0.7.3, but forgot to make GTK
+ version work with them
+ - Closing DCC chat crashed
+ - Destroying window with WM now really destroys the window, no hide
+ it like it used to..
+ - Several fixes with window handling..
+
+v0.7.3 1999-03-11 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * Text mode version is not called irssi-text so make install can
+ install both of them without overwriting the other..
+ + Window menu: find text, save window buffer, close window, new,
+ new tabbed .. And lots of fixing code to make empty windows
+ possible.
+ + After kicked from channel, the window isn't destroyed
+ - While connecting to server and receiving "nick is temporarily
+ unavailable" irssi didn't try different nick but got just stuck
+ there.
+
+v0.7.2 1999-03-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + GUI for logging, /log start, /log stop
+ + You can drag file from GMC over to nick in nicklist to send the file
+ with DCC
+ + Nicklist changed to GtkCList, ops and voices are marked with
+ pixmaps (stolen from X-Chat, someone want to do better ones?). Had
+ to be done because adding drag'n'drop to GtkList was too slow..
+ - Pretty bad bugs with GTK version fixed, using several dialogs'
+ buttons crashed..
+ - WHOIS's idle line displayed seconds wrong. Maybe I finally got it
+ fixed right this time.. :)
+ - Unknown commands still didn't work. They were sent to server with
+ the / character at start..
+
+v0.7.1 1999-03-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * The 0.7.0 was actually quite stable, I thought it would crash all
+ the time by itself and do some weird things :)
+ * Hopefully now that GTK 1.2 is finished more people start using it
+ and don't ask me to continue supporting GTK 1.0. So, this version
+ requires GTK 1.1/1.2.
+
+ + Started gui-text.. Should work somehow :) Prefers SLang but should
+ work with curses also, except in X terminals I couldn't get colors
+ out of it.
+ + Logging, still lacks GUI.
+
+ Syntax:
+ /log create <filename> [<+/->level ...] [#channel/nick [
+ [<+/->level ...] ...]
+ /log close <filename>
+ /log list
+
+ Example: /log create mylog -all +msgs #linux +chan +public +notices
+ (or simply #linux +all logs everything that appears in #linux
+ window).
+
+ You can use these levels, ALL is set by default:
+ ALL, CRAP, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS, SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC,
+ CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
+ + Automatically create query window when received msg (option)
+ + No more "WHO: unknown commmand"s, all unknown commands are sent to
+ server just like they were written
+ + Working again: msgs window, aliases, /kickban, /knockout
+ + Changed quite a lot of GString's to g_strdup_printf
+ + cleaned configure.in
+ - Disconnect button in disconnect dialog didn't work.
+ - Writing to DCC chat only sent the first word..
+ - setting ircnet to server record was done without strdup()ing from
+ setup server record, so after disconnecting preferences or
+ reconnecting could have crashed.
+
+v0.7.0 1999-02-25 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ * Lots and lots and LOTS of rewriting code. Hope you like it :) At
+ least I do, mostly. GUI still needs rewriting but.. well, it works
+ anyway now.
+
+ The [unstable] tag in this version really means that IT IS UNSTABLE.
+ See TODO for what features that 0.6.0 have are still missing.
+
+ Because of the new great signaling system :) lots of things can be
+ done easier. Now all the dialogs should be up to date, like channel
+ mode dialog. When you receive ops, widgets come sensitive, when you
+ lose your ops, the widgets become unsensitive.
+
+ irssi source is now also divided in to separate directories:
+
+ irc-base: this shouldn't change much, it has all basic functionality
+ needed to create a working IRC client.
+
+ irc-extra: all kinds of extra functionality: dcc, flood detection,
+ ignore lists, (logging soon), notify lists and plugins.
+
+ common-ui: here's all the functions that need to print some texts to
+ screen.
+
+ gui-gnome: GTK/GNOME specific code
+
+ These haven't been started yet:
+ ui-none: make irssi work as a bot with plugins/scripts
+ ui-text: text mode interface
+ gui-kde, ...: I'm not going to do these, anyone?
+
+v0.6.0 1999-02-12 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + Plugins! See plugins/* and src/plugin-commands.h for more
+ information
+ + Small PERL plugin, anyone want to continue developing this?
+ + Show menubar option
+ - Some fixes and changes with clicking words.
+ - Notify list didn't work if ircnet was specified.
+ - socks5 needed -DSOCKS to work (but this is still untested..)
+
+v0.5.1 1999-02-10 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ * A big bugfix release, hopefully no crashes anymore? :)
+ * Removed intl directory, we don't have any i18n support yet so it's
+ not needed...
+
+ + Time stamps
+ + Use --with-pthreads=no if they don't work right
+ + socks4/5 support (untested), use --with-socks=no if you don't want
+ them.
+ - If you got kicked from channel irssi was in quite unstable state
+ - Using channel mode buttons in the upper right corner crashed
+ - Whois displayed idle time wrong
+ - Adding first item to empty list (notify, completions, aliases,
+ ignores) crashed.
+ - It didn't actually compile without pthreads lib..
+ - If any texts contained %s, %d, etc.. irssi tried to expand them
+ - Solaris (and probably some others) need -D_REENTRANT flag to make
+ threads work corretly.
+ - gtk_container_add() should be used instead of
+ gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() when handling clists..
+
+v0.5.0 1999-02-08 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ + DCC CHAT, SEND, GET
+ + pthread support, no more blocking server connections.
+ + Notify list
+ + Getting more paranoid :) Added a lot of g_return_if_fail()s.
+ Hopefully not in wrong places :) But these surely save some crashes
+ with buggy code..
+ + BUILD_DOCK, HAVE_GNOME, etc. defines are now placed in config.h
+ instead of being in -D arguments for gcc.
+ + Format strings are more flexible now, you can change the order of
+ the parameters and you don't need to specify if the argument is
+ supposed to be string or integer or .. Should be easy to use, %p1
+ matches the first argument, %p2 the seconds, etc.
+ + /PING
+ - Changing topic from topic entry widget didn't work.
+ - If window had only one channel, the channel widgets (topic, modes,
+ etc) didn't show up.
+ - Using popup menu from status window's channel lists crashed.
+ - Channel menu didn't work
+
+v0.4.1 1999-02-04 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ + Preferences: completion - if you type <tag> in entry field and
+ press tab it gets completed, like setting homepage to http://blah
+ and typing: home page is homepage<tab> -> home page is http://blah
+ + Tab nick completion.
+ + ':' nick completion also changed a bit.. If it fits to more than
+ one nick it's completed in bash style. Like if there's mynick1 and
+ mynik2, "my:" gets completed to "myni:"
+ + glib 1.0.6 didn't have g_get_user_name(), g_get_real_name(),
+ g_get_home_dir() and g_strncasecmp(), made them..
+ - Using --no-applet crashed..
+ - Using items in user modes menu crashed
+ - Several small bugs fixed..
+
+v0.4.0 1999-02-01 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + *Lots* of internal changes with window handling, fixed some memory
+ leaks also while doing them. You can now have multiple real windows
+ with tabbed subwindows in them. It's also possible to have multiple
+ channels in one subwindow. Commands for handling these.. :
+ - /join - Works like before, creates real or subwindow depending
+ if "use tabbed windows" is set in setup.
+ - /wjoin - Joins channel to current window
+ - /hjoin - Creates new subwindow and joins there
+ - /njoin - Creates new real window and join there
+ + Changed URL max length from 20 to 200.. Didn't realize it was that
+ low :)
+ + Shows the nick who sent wallop, you need to change the second
+ line in format texts from "%s" to "%s: %s" to make this it work.
+ Need to do some kind of autoupgrading for formats that change..
+ + Found new functions from glib :)
+ - g_getenv("HOME") -> g_get_home_dir()
+ - getpw() -> g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name()
+ - strcasecmp() -> g_strcasecmp()
+ - strncasecmp() -> g_strncasecmp()
+ + GNOME version uses ~/.irssi.conf if it exists
+ - Opping/deopping anyone made irssi think that you were opped/deopped
+ - read_line() had some pretty bad bugs...
+
+v0.3.6 1999-01-29 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + irssi.spec to easily build .rpm
+ + Preferences:
+ - Alternative nick which is used when default nick is in use.
+ - Create own window for msgs
+ - Tab orientation
+ - Flood settings
+ - Max lines to keep in command line history
+ - Scrollback buffer size
+ - Text formats
+ + Toolbar .. we need pixmaps .. Needs also window (channel/query)
+ specific items.
+ + Using horizontal panel works right now.
+ + Alt-1..0 changes between windows
+ - Private actions didn't show up in query windows where they should
+ have.
+ - Alias and ignores lists were mixed together and didn't work.
+ - Setting max channels to display in panel to -1 (which is default..)
+ displayed actually only one channel.. Also setting this to 0 works.
+ - Topic didn't change when changing between windows in tabbed windows
+ mode.
+ - When op received +v, @ was changed to + in nick list
+ - Connect/disconnect/channels dialogs fixed so that they won't crash
+ when clicking buttons with empty lists.
+
+v0.3.5 1999-01-26 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ + Finished the channels dialog, you can automatically join to
+ channels in specific irc networks.
+ + Changed the look of connect and disconnect dialogs
+ + servertest/ directory, just a test program to try if irssi crashes
+ with _HEAVY_ network load (ie. if there's buffer overflows or some
+ other weird bugs). It doesn't :)
+ + Preferences: Maximum number of channels to display in panel
+ - When leaving from channels, panel didn't redraw it's list correctly
+ - Leaving channels in tabbed window mode crashed
+ - Fixed crash if connection got lost
+
+v0.3.4 1999-01-24 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + Tabbed windows work a lot better
+ + User mode menu
+ + Preferences: default user mode
+ - Connecting to more than one server crashed...
+ - Nick list redrawing was broken
+ - Dock applet wrote the texts to pixmap but didn't draw the pixmap
+ into screen then properly..
+
+v0.3.3 1999-01-23 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + /ignore never - never autoignore nick
+ + You can hide/show channel nick list from Channel menu, default
+ state can be set from preferences.
+ + Preferences: Strip styles from text, misc options
+ + Launching URLs work!
+ + More str[nnn] -> GString changes, should be no more potential
+ buffer overflows
+ + Started the tabbed windows, probably quite buggy and the
+ window_create() code is getting REALLY ugly..
+ - Servers didn't display QUIT message.. Couldn't think of any better
+ way to fix this than not to disconnect the link but let the server
+ do it.
+ - ANSI colors didn't work right
+
+v0.3.2 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi> [unstable]
+
+ + Dock applet, works at least with Enlightenment..
+ - GTK version tried to move temp config file to real config file
+ with rename() .. didn't work if /tmp and home were in different
+ partitions.
+ - Some servers sent a mode change before /names list, irssi didn't
+ like that and crashed..
+ - No more Gtk-Critical messages if irssi is run with --no-applet
+
+v0.3.1 1999-01-22 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ * 4 days since last relase. too long :) I'm now starting to create
+ "unstable" versions of irssi. They have the latest and greatest
+ features while they might not build/work too well. Check
+ http://www.sicom.fi/~ikioma/irssi-download.html, new versions will
+ probably be released quite often.
+ * GNOME version now builds without GNOME panel applet library
+ * Works with GTK+ 1.0.6 now, maybe with older too.
+ + Connect / disconnect dialogs, channel dialog also started
+ + Server setup dialog changed some.
+ + Status window has a list of channels, queries and (yet not
+ implemented) DCC chats. Also the tiny panel window isn't displayed
+ unless you're running irssi in panel..
+ + Menu bar in all windows
+ + Cleaned read_line() to use GStrings.
+ + $(sysconfdir)/irssi.conf is copied to default user file if it isn't
+ found.
+ + If you get kicked from channel the channel window won't get
+ destroyed.
+ - Query was in op submenu in nicklist's popup menu .. whops.
+ - 0.3.0 broke server tag generation so using multiple servers didn't
+ work.
+
+v0.3.0 1999-01-18 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ * Config changes in GTK version, delete old .irssi.conf file (or
+ change all "tag = values" to "tag=values")
+ * Default set of servers and aliases can be found from irssi.conf,
+ copy that to ~/.gnome/irssi (if build with GNOME) or ~/.irssi.conf
+ (if build without GNOME).
+ + servers page added to preferences. Without connect dialog this is
+ quite useless though :) But if you set "connect to IRC server at
+ startup" on, irssi connects you to first local server.
+ + aliases :
+ - /ALIAS <alias> <command to execute>
+ - alias page added to preferences
+ - these codes are extracted in commands:
+ %0 : alias name
+ %1, %2, %3 .. : word %
+ &1, &2, &3 .. : word & + the rest of the text after it
+ %c : channel name
+ - typing extra / before /command (//command) ignores any aliases
+ + ignore list :
+ - /IGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
+ - /UNIGNORE <mask> <ignore level>
+ - ignore page added to preferences
+ - ignore levels: ALL, CRAP, CHAN, PUBLIC, MSGS, NOTICES, WALLOPS,
+ SNOTES, ACTIONS, DCC, CTCP, CLIENTNOTICES, CLIENTERRORS
+ + autoignoring msg and ctcp flooders
+ + options page added to preferences
+ + invite lists (channel mode I)
+ + !channels should work now
+ + replaced quite a lot of g_new()'s with GStrings. fixed one buffer
+ overflow with this also..
+ + /AWAYALL - sends /away to all connected servers
+ + /KNOCKOUT [secs] <nick> <reason> - kick+ban+delay (5min)+unban
+ - nick completion was case-sensitive
+ - again some minor bugs fixed and features added
+
+v0.2.1 1999-01-17 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ + Preferences: color and font selection
+ + gnome-stuff.c has some gnome_* compatible functions to get GTK+
+ version work. They're pretty slow and dum and maybe even buggy so
+ if you want better, just compile the gnome libs :)
+ + Doubleclicking in topic sets the entry editable/uneditable
+ - nick completion was buggy
+ - some minor bugs and features fixed
+
+v0.2.0 1999-01-16 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ + CTCP VERSION returns system name and revisions
+ + msgs window has now autoraise set on as default
+ + status window is used only when there's no window active..
+ + Done server handing:
+ /server = /disconnect + /connect
+ /connect = connects to new server without disconnecting from
+ any old ones
+ /disconnect = disconnect from current server
+ + msgs and status window have a server selector menu
+ + clicking a server tag in msgs window changes server
+ + channel information box
+ + --no-panel command line switch so you can build with GNOME support
+ but don't need to be running it in panel.
+ - some automake fixes
+ - If someone was kicked, the kicker was removed from nick list
+ insted of the kicked..
+ - Fixed some weird situtation where snapshot window wouldn't
+ disappear from screen..
+
+v0.1.0 1999-01-14 Timo Sirainen <a@sicom.fi>
+
+ * First release
--- /dev/null
+ - /UPGRADE:
+ - support DCCs
+ - topic time/nick isn't transferred
+ - rewrite to work by fork()ing a new process and transfer file handles
+ with unix sockets. this would allow the scrollback buffers to be
+ transferred with them as well.
+ - current window layout needs to transferred
+ - reconnections aren't transferred(?)
+
+ - Logging:
+ - /LOG OPEN doesn't autocreate directories..
+ - /LOG OPEN -targets *!*cras@*.fi
+ - /SET autolog -> /LOG OPEN -targets * (internally, at least)
+ - /LOG OPEN shouldn't really open the file until first line is
+ written in it
+ - /WINDOW LOG OFF doesn't work
+ - autoclosing logs doesn't work too well. Problems are:
+ - after certain inactivity private message logs should be closed
+ - but DCC chats shouldn't be closed until the chat itself is closed
+ - which we can't know really currently, since they don't need
+ to be in queries
+ - channels should be closed when they're left
+ - /WINDOW CLOSE shouldn't close it immediately, since we'll still
+ receive at least the PART message
+ - so, log items should know more about what they are exactly, and when
+ they should be closed. private messages could have the same timeout
+ as now, time_t closetime field updated every time msg is received.
+ channels could do the same when receiving "window item destroy" signal,
+ except with a small timeout. DCC chats are more problematic...
+ - support for mirc/ansi color logging
+ - people want to show ignored stuff in logs.. how?
+ - private messages could show mirc-style "Session Ident: nick (host)"
+ which would update when nick's host changes. Then you wouldn't need to
+ print the host before each msg.
+ - support for logging channel messages from specific people
+
+ - Awaylogs:
+ - either fully support logging only in servers you're away, or change the
+ awaylog to open immediately after /AWAY command, not based on any
+ away replies from server. Maybe the later would be better, since you
+ would want to set yourself away when connections to all servers were
+ disconnected at the time.. Maybe /AWAY should update status in
+ reconnection records as well?..
+ - /SET awaylog_auto_delete, after setting yourself unaway
+ - support for using strftime() formats (and $tag etc). only problem with
+ this is that all the different awaylogs would need to be tracked and
+ /CATed when setting yourself unaway
+
+ - Window item placing:
+ - !channel vs. !12345channel. it's layout saved with full name, but joined
+ with either one
+ - when dcc chat is accepted and query exists from the same nick, replace
+ the query window with the dcc chat window.
+ - closed DCC chats should add temporary window bind to the dcc chat so
+ future chats for same nick would use the same window
+
+ - DCC
+ - /DCC SEND wildcard support
+ - /DCC GET -4 / -6 with autodetection
+ - When we receive a DCC SEND request, irssi could warn if the file
+ already exists
+ - show estimated time left and kB/s in /DCC list.
+ - implement requesting files with DCC GET from remote client for dcc file
+ servers. good for people behind firewalls. Does this feature exist
+ in other clients, or should I create DCC REQUEST? Same for DCC CHAT..
+ Maybe it could be just that the port was specified as 0, so the other
+ side would know that it needs to be the one to do listening.
+ - /SET dcc_autoresume ON, and sending the same file again while it's
+ already being downloaded doesn't work too well.. Even autorename doesn't
+ work.
+ - With fast DCC SENDs (90kB/s, FreeBSD) typing get laggy (really?)
+ - /DCC CLOSE #, /DCC would print the IDs
+ - /SET dcc_use_proxy to use IRC proxy for DCC connects as well
+ - support for special vars in /SET dcc_download_path, so $N could be used
+
+ - Generic chat commands:
+ - /MSG /CTCP /ACTION =dcc_chat,#channel
+ - /ACTION -ircnet with good tab support like in /MSG
+ - -nick -channel parameters to /ACTION
+ - /MSG a,b,#c,#d - it should print the message to #c and #d channel
+ windows and show only "a,b" as target when printing it to msg window..
+ Or if autoquery is set, it should print them to those windows. Hmm.
+ maybe some multipeople query support? :) /query nick1,nick2 and sending
+ text there would send it to both. Seems to work already but receiving
+ messages from either nick1 or nick2 don't go to that window..
+ - /^MSG nick creates query with /SET qutocreate_own_query YES
+ - /WHOIS -servertag
+ - /BAN: setting of what netmask to use for banning with IPv6 addresses
+
+ - Netsplits
+ - BUG: said "+1 more", while the /SETs to control that were set properly,
+ with one guy it only said that +1 more..
+ - BUG: netsplit quit isn't printed if quit -> join -> quit -> join
+ happens fast (really?)
+ - maybe the "+x more" should be configured in theme file instead in
+ future with the embedded scripting.. At least I'd want to print all
+ the splitted nicks in log files.
+ - per-window listing of splitted servers, it looks very stupid when
+ you see 4 lines of servers splitting in each window but only a few
+ nicks after them.
+ - per-window listing of splitted nicks, so the split messages isn't shown
+ multiple times for each channel with possibly same nicks
+ - /NETSPLIT <server>|<#channel>|<nick wildcard>
+ - SERVERMODE +ov nick nick is shown instead of just Netjoin @nick because
+ code is stupid. fixed in irssi-rewrite..
+ - show in query windows
+
+ - Crashes:
+ - irssi crashes at quit if perl is loaded as module
+ - #1 0x68cc7 in module_file_deinit_gmodule (file=0x110e20) at modules-load.c:356
+ - <dg> i've managed to reproduce the bug, if i make three split windows (/window show 3..5), then set the windows to not be sticky and go to one of the windows, then alt+number to another window then go back the other window the display prints two windows in the same window
+ - irssi -cserver -nnick -> crashes - lib-popt is buggy!
+ - bug as well but not crash: --config=foo --home=bar -c server
+ - /SB CLEAR still crashing sometimes?
+ - make sure irssi works with 0x0 sized terminal. 1x1 sized terminal
+ doesn't work if we use recreate_windows()
+ - /UNLOAD dcc, etc. static modules
+
+ - Scripts:
+ - print whois in active window
+ - some script to handle ctcp floods, like doing /IGNORE * CTCPS when it
+ happens.
+ - move into scripts:
+ - /SET timestamp_timeout
+ - /MSG completion list should be modifyable from scripts
+ - script to remove nick from list after /IGNORE nick
+ - nick completion list should be modifyable afterwards:
+ - /SET completion_nicks_lowercase (remove from irssi)
+ - /SET completion_nicks_capitalize
+ - /SET completion_nicks_strip (keep only alphanumeric chars)
+ - irchat-like JOIN/PART/QUIT combiner (QUIT: nick1, nick2, nick3), would
+ require the line replacing work properly which it doesn't..
+
+ - Irssi proxy:
+ - doesn't propagate your own nickchanges to other clients
+ - better support for CTCP replies / DCC
+
+ - Misc IRC related things:
+ - better support for !channels (don't log the ID, show nicer in whois,
+ layout save doesn't work, /win item move !channel)
+ - support for mode +q in dancer - also same as +b %xxx modes..
+ - properly support RFC-1459 charset (ircnet specific option), eg.
+ /QUERY p[ and msgs from p{ aren't placed there.
+ - /BAN -ip, -time [<time>] (/ALIAS knockout?)
+ - /KICKBAN to support same options than /BAN (would /ALIAS kickban work?)
+ - ban list prints "x seconds ago" .. should be x days, mins, hours, ..
+ - /WALL could maybe check if server supports /WALLCHOPS or @#channel?
+ maybe too much trouble figuring out if it can or not.
+
+ - Windows:
+ - /WINDOW SIZE -sticky, so f.e. /WINDOW BALANCE wouldn't affect it.
+ - /LAYOUT save|reset doesn't affect anything immediately, only after
+ restart
+ - Check that /LAYOUT SAVE works properly with all the different /SETs,
+ like reuse_unsued_windows, windows_auto_renumber and autoclose_windows.
+ What should it do if some channel is /PARTed with autoclose_windows
+ set?..
+ - /LAYOUT SAVE should ask if we want to save those window items that
+ are "bound sticky" but of which server is currently not connected.
+ - /WINDOW scrollback_lines /WINDOW scrollback_hours
+ - Optionally always start the lines from bottom of the screen when
+ screen is empty (how would scrolling work?)
+ - Vertically split windows
+ - /SET use_msgs_window and /SET use_status_window should take effect
+ immediately
+ - /WINDOW notify_level - would specify what window activity will be
+ shown for the window
+ - Some sort of autobalancing for split windows after terminal resize,
+ maybe with window-specific options that "this window is n lines",
+ "this is at least n% of available space", etc.
+
+ - Keyboard handling:
+ - Some kind of state support for it, so it would be possible to make
+ support for vi keys easily.
+ - Editor-like (or bash-like) line editor - it would wrap to next line
+ instead of scrolling.
+ - When pasting text, irssi could notice it and ask "pasting 30 lines
+ of text, ok?" .. Could send some signal that sends the pasted lines
+ in GList which signal handlers could modify. Also the first pasted
+ line could be somehow buffered so that it isn't sent immediately
+ so these paste handlers could modify it too.
+ - Already existing / at start of line handler should use this
+ - Automatically remove empty space at the start/end of lines,
+ from start of line it would work so that if each line begins with
+ 4 spaces but some more, it would only remove those 4 spaces from
+ each so pasting code wouldn't mess up indents etc.
+ - Skip all autoreplaces and completions, so that f.e. tabs are
+ printed as-is (a few /BINDs would do this but...)
+ - Should empty lines be pasted too? Maybe optionally
+ - /BIND -askkey command
+ - /BIND -delete doesn't print that it did the deleting
+ - /BIND -deletes should be saved in config
+ - ^W (and some others) don't update cut buffer.
+ - default binds: M-d, M-y
+ - capitalize-word (meta-c), downcase-word (meta-l),
+ transpose-words (meta-t), upcase-word (meta-u)
+ - UTF-8 support
+ - /PASSWORD command that asks you to type the password to entry line and
+ would hide it with asterisks, good if people spy on you :)
+ - ^R-like history search
+
+ - Notify list:
+ - showing who's online and who's offline doesn't work properly.
+ - adding/removing people in notify list don't show in /NOTIFY immediately
+ - when someone in notify list joins, should it be placed to start of
+ /MSG completion list?
+ - /NOTIFY -away and -idle: support for wildcards in nicks (requires of
+ course that we're in same channel as nick)
+ - Automatically add queried nicks to notify list temporarily .. display
+ the notifys for the nick in the query window
+ - /NOTIFY -once - notify only once when the user comes to IRC, forget
+ this after it.
+ - /NOTIFY -comment xxx - add a comment to notify. print the comment when
+ user comes to irc.
+ - "Should we check people in notify list when you're away" option
+ - use /WATCH instead of /ISON in servers that support it
+
+ - Ignores:
+ - /IGNORE -ircnet or -tag
+ - /IGNORE <nick> -> use hostmasking (related to channel syncing problem,
+ see "bigger code changes") with support for -type and /SET ignore_type
+ - /IGNORE -strip -pattern away * actions ..
+ - can't have multiple ignore -patterns with same nick
+ - /ignore -activity .. would ignore it just in window activity list,
+ not hide the text.
+ - The nick cache stuff just made it slower. Remove it or figure out how
+ it could be faster.
+
+ - Hilights:
+ - /HILIGHT list doesn't print several options. Maybe some generic
+ function which could be used for printing those options for all these
+ /IRCNET, /SERVER ADD, etc. commands.
+ - /HILIGHT -mask <mask> <word>: not possible use both.
+ - case sensitive hilight checking.
+ - ignore coloring in the words it matches, so eg. /hilight foo would
+ match to f^Bo^Bo
+ - BUG: it STILL sometimes creates hilight activity while there's no
+ hilights, around mode changes (haven't heard for a while though,
+ maybe it is anyway fixed? :)
+ - change the colors of both the nick and the matched word.
+ - /SET hide_text_style still breaks /HILIGHT -words
+ - even if hilight_color is "", %n is printed after hilighted text.
+ - /hilight -actcolor %M -color %w -regexp -level publics
+ -channels #channel1,#channel2 .*
+ removes the bold from /me actions of other users
+ - people want to hilight their own nicks everywhere, eg. /HILIGHT $N
+ - automatic nick hilighting at beginning of line should be optional,
+ like some people would want -word hilighting in it..
+ - exceptions
+
+ - Scrollback:
+ - Optionally show a "bookmark" (line mark actually, a line full of '-'
+ chars) in a window. It would be displayed at the position where you
+ were when the window was active last time. /MARK command to force
+ updating it to bottom of screen in active window.
+ - /SCROLLBACK REDRAW doesn't do anything to non-format lines (should
+ redraw timestamp, etc.)
+ - /LAST -since <timestamp>
+ - /LAST : use /SET timestamp_format
+ - /LAST -allwindows would check the lastlog from all open windows
+ - /SCROLLBACK CLEAR all -public - a bit like /LAST -clear
+ (make /LAST -clear do /SB CLEAR lastlog)
+
+ - Formats / themes:
+ - scripting for formats (see the themes.txt), and make the default.theme
+ so that you REALLY don't need to touch /FORMATs, unless you want to
+ change english texts (eg. joins/parts/quits etc. are fully configurable
+ in theme file)
+ - Possibility to modify abstracts and replaces in themes from irssi.
+ (or maybe not, just makes it more difficult)
+ - Document the different formats briefly :)
+ - /FORMATs don't have styling anymore, so translation to different
+ languages should be possible with still the ability to use different
+ themes easily. /SET formats <filename> could change the file where
+ to read all /FORMATs, but formats in theme file would override them.
+ - terminfo/termcap supports changing palette. add support for themes
+ as well to specify it.
+ - hilight formats. pubaction_hilight would be nice, but so would many
+ others as well. something generic for all these would be nice .. would
+ it be possible to do this in theme side with scripting without a
+ format for each different thing?
+
+ - Server commands:
+ - Optionally wait for a while (0.5-1sec) before sending the message to
+ server, if arrow up key is pressed abort it. Also remove the line from
+ screen and put some notice about it being not sent.
+ - If we receive "cannot send to channel" from server or "you're not
+ chanop" events, remove the privmsgs/notices or modes/kicks/etc. from
+ send queue automatically. Useful for aborting things when you get
+ kicked after pasting lots of text or deopped after doing /OP * or
+ something ;) .. use /SERVER PURGE <target> for this..
+ - Split PRIVMSGs and NOTICEs automatically to multiple commands if
+ their length exceeds the 512 bytes (or it should be shorter actually
+ so server won't split it when it adds your nick+host mask)
+ - Fix the flood protection to be aware of max. input buffer, which is
+ 1024 bytes by default (/STATS d, CF). Now irssi may excess flood when
+ sending lots of lines longer than ~200 chars.
+ - Flood protection doesn't count the extra penalty for MODEs and KICKs
+ in ircnet.
+
+ - Text buffer:
+ - support for printing ALL characters in text buffer, including ^B, ^C,
+ etc. etc. so we could selectively decide what mirc colors to translate
+ and what not. Like, we would want to show (or hide) it in normal
+ messages, but we would want to show it as-is in user's ident and
+ ban lists. This should fix /HILIGHT -word as well.
+ - EPIC-like /SET mangle_inbound, maybe mangle_outbound?
+ - %> should work in normal text lines
+ - support for iso-2022-jp? does anyone even want this? ;) it works with
+ esc$B..encoded text...esc(B - encoded text is in 7bit chars, not sure
+ - fix the textbuffer code so that typofix.pl actually works
+ - if you're in beginning of scrollback when lines are being removed,
+ the screen is messed up (?). Also, after /SB END the --more-- is
+ still there and you can't get rid of it (couldn't reproduce)
+ - does /SB REFRESH work? Make it update the lines lazily, only when
+ needed so it would be fast.
+ - Make /SET HOLD_MODE
+ - /CAT should pause on every screenful of text, this should be some kind
+ of printtext_multiline_paused() function which would use some callback
+ to ask for new text.
+ - when scrolling, using pgup/down. it would be neat if the last/first
+ overlapping line in the newly redrawn buffer would be colorized for a
+ second or two, indicating where to continue reading
+
+ - Statusbar
+ - finish the support for multiple statusbar groups, and add
+ /WINDOW STATUSBAR command.
+ - finish the support for multiple input lines and a way to switch
+ between them, so eg. each split window could have it's own input line.
+ - padding char so instead of just spaces you could have ------
+ - hide the whole statusbar if none of it's items use any space
+ (visible = "auto")
+ - /SBAR # PLACEMENT top|bottom sometimes messes up the screen a bit,
+ ^L helps though
+ - /STATUSBAR prompt DISABLE hangs irssi because there's no input line.
+ Add some check to not allow this.
+ - /STATUSBAR could list also disabled bars
+
+ - Server connecting:
+ - More verbose connecting
+ - show if we're using IPv4 or IPv6
+ - show hostname we're using
+ - show the proxy settings we're using
+ - Reconnecting shouldn't try to remember all those settings, especially
+ /SET real_name xx + /RECONNECT should work.
+ - DNS problems may cause removal of i-line, irssi shouldn't stop
+ trying to reconnect the server if it happens.. Maybe it never should
+ stop reconnecting to servers that are in config.
+ - Remember the previous IP while reconnecting, if DNS lookup fails use
+ it. Some DNS servers return "host not found" when their internet
+ connection is broken and irssi stops reconnecting..
+ - /RECONNECT <servertag> - If <servertag> belongs to some IRC network,
+ reconnect to next server in that ircnet, otherwise just reconnect
+ to the server.
+ - /SERVER <number> would connect to n'th server in list. Show the
+ numbers with /SERVER LIST
+ - /CONNECT <ircnet> could remove existing ircnet connection from
+ reconnect queue if it exists (only if there's only one?). Also if
+ we're already connected to the ircnet it could complain about it
+ and -yes would force it.
+ - connect() may be stuck forever, timeout it after a few minutes.
+ - Raise the reconnect time every time you get disconnected, so if your
+ network goes up/down all the time, we'd see you join/part channels
+ more and more often instead of flooding all the time.
+ - Better support for round robin addresses (eg. irc.openprojects.org)
+ - /CONNECT -raw? A bit like telnet/nc host.
+
+ - Tab completion:
+ - Command parameter completion doesn't work properly when -options
+ are used.
+ - Possibility to complete -option parameters? Like -ircnet <tab>, also
+ /MSG -servertag<tab> and /LAST -level<tab> should work. All of these
+ require some command definition changes..
+ - bash-style (or whatever it should be called) tab-completion
+ - key for reverse completion
+ - /MSG <tab> completion shouldn't include queried nick there (optional)
+ - nick completion shouldn't try completing nicks everywhere,
+ like /SET <tab>
+ - File completion could guess when it's wanted, word beginning with /
+ (not at start of line of course, unless / isn't in cmdchars)
+ or ~/ or ./
+ - filename completion doesn't work properly if path has spaces
+
+ - Modules:
+ - Figure out module vs. plugin wording, what is what ;)
+ - API for plugins which would be guaranteed not to change
+ (at least too much/too often :)
+ - "chat protocol modules" - they could be loaded at startup so they'd be
+ equal to IRC protocol (autoconnecting servers would work etc.)
+ - on-demand autoload modules (f.e. by /command or maybe some signal)
+ - Try to make them create only .so files instead of .a and all..
+ - dependencies for modules? double /[un]load prints a bit stupid text
+
+ - perl scripting:
+ - /LOAD [-script | -module], /UNLOAD script
+ - Possibility to modify entry line somehow
+ - Add structures: MODULE_REC, THEME_REC, KEYINFO_REC,
+ CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC, etc.
+ - signal_emit() - if emitting unknown signal, it could automatically
+ save the types of sent parameters so another perl script could
+ signal_add() it
+ - Irssi::keyboard_entry_redirect()
+ - Irssi::format_get_text()
+ - "use Symbol(delete_package)" doesn't work with perl 5.004 and crashes
+ irssi .. at least remove the crashing!
+ - Irssi::signal_remove() could accept hashes
+ - /command parameter parser so it'd be easier to handle -options etc.
+ - when reloading scripts, Irssi::settings_add_int() prints glib errors,
+ while settings_add_str() doesn't
+ - Try to get the Makefiles generated so that compiling with GCC would
+ always work even if the perl wasn't compiled with GCC..
+
+ - Bigger code changes:
+ - Restructure code tree so that non-IRC chat protocols would be in
+ same places than IRC protocol. Something like:
+ - src/irc (like now)
+ - src/irc/fe-common, src/irc/fe-text
+ SILC could then make symlinks to src/silc to whereever the SILC
+ module was unpacked. Make it possible to build SILC support built-in.
+ - /SETs have now boolean/number/string types. Add more:
+ - Time: Allow to use s|m|h|d to specify the time, default to
+ seconds. When sending reply to user, use the time formatting too,
+ not just x seconds or minutes. "10d 5s" should also work.
+ - Level: Like "all -msgs -public". Complain about unknown strings.
+ - size: 5M, 5k, ..
+ - Reading configuration file should be changed somehow .. at least add
+ some helper functions for reading lists since comments inside them
+ now crash irssi. Also if setting wasn't expected type can cause
+ crashes so add proper error checkings everywhere. And is_node_list()
+ etc. should be in uppercase..
+ - Would this work..? : command_bind() could specify the parameters
+ it uses, then some generic command parser could parse the commands
+ and options and if all is ok, send the parsed parameters directly with
+ signal_emit() .. I'm just thinking some type checking problems but
+ if all commands would be in format SERVER_REC, WI_ITEM_REC,
+ GHashTable *options, char ** (NULL terminated parameters list) .. ?
+ - support for multiple subcommands in the command parser, like
+ /window name foo level msgs.
+ - Channel syncing is evil. Make it optional, and use /USERHOST when
+ needed if host isn't known. /BAN at least should do this, and while
+ at it, we could make /IGNORE as well to ignore based on mask.
+ - Irssi saves some setting strings to static const char * variables in
+ several places.. this works pretty well usually, except when /RELOADing
+ config and some "setup changed" signal handler goes and calls some
+ function that still uses the old saved string which points to free'd
+ memory.. this should somehow be fixed failsafe. maybe just g_strdup()
+ them everywhere or figure out something better..
+ - Better priority specifying for signals, probably should add
+ int priority without limited range.
+
+ - extra spaces after commands don't always work, eg /wii nick, /help xx
+ - hide channel key in statusbar. This would require a $cmode_nokey or
+ something..
+ - fe-none doesn't compile with --with-perl-staticlib because it doesn't find
+ the ui/textui stuff..
+ - we should probably print timestamp even if level contains MSGLEVEL_NEVER,
+ as long as it's not the only level..
+ - If /SET print_active_channel is ON, actions still don't show the channel
+ - nick's user/host can't be printed for public messages
+ - /HELP <alias> should work
+ - /CLEAR -all should clear the window activities as well, leaving hilights
+ - support :: properly in IPv6 masks
+ - /SET activity_hide_targets ircnet/#irssi
+ - when you get disconnected, print your quit message to all channel windows
+ - possibility to print rawlog in window
+ - should $10 work (in special vars)?
+ - /VER should be alias
+ - /MODE #channel b should resync the banlist, and /QUOTE NAMES #channel
+ should resync the nicklist (irssi/ircd bugs).
+ - #include support to config file
+ - make detaching work
+ - with solaris, /EXECs don't die when irssi does (tail -f ...)
+ - /EXEC -interactive: print the commands you send
+ - handle /JOINs with server redirections so they get aborted if we're not
+ seing a JOIN for a while.
+ - make sure the config file is never lost, write it to some temp file first
+ and after then move it over real config file.
+ - you could configure which events (whois, notify, etc.) to show in what
+ windows (all, current, status, msgs)
+ - /SET -reset?
+ - printnickmsg() which would print nick changes and quit messages. And
+ export that function to perl so kills.pl could print kills with it too.
+ - regexp host masks
+ - automatically switch to status window when using commands that always
+ print their output to status window, like /whois.
+ - automatic whowas if whois wasn't found should be moved to fe-common.
+ it could also print something like "nick $0 not in IRC, but this user
+ WAS in IRC:"
+ - Add command for changing automatic replaces and completions
+ (/autoreplace, /complete ?) .. could these be scripts? ..
+ - commands to move channels and servers in the config list, to set the
+ join/connect order of them.
+ - All those options to /WHO and /LIST commands that EPIC has
+ - Use different formats for /WHO #channel? There's no need to show the
+ channel in every line then (NOTE: /WHO #chan1,#chan2 should have two
+ headers)
+ - nick/channel lists at right side of the text version of irssi. Ctrl-N
+ for example could hide/show them. add mouse support for it.
+
+ - try profiling the code with /cat filewith10000lines
+ - /JOIN #foo could *optionally* move the channel to active window
+ (default off, it confuses people)
+ - /SERVER ADD -ircnet foonet bar 6000 pass1,
+ /SERVER ADD -ircnet barnet bar 6000 pass2
+ dircproxy identifies ircnets based on password
+ - $@0 always returns 4 (?)
+
+ - HÄMÄRÄT BUGIT:
+ ( - /win new hide, /win new, /win down, /win close -> crash ?)
+ - active_mainwin oli jotenkin NULL ja kaatoi.. /window killi teki sen,
+ liittyy varmaan jotenkin siihen että window_close() vaihtoi samaan
+ hiddenikkunaan splitti-ikkunan sisällä jota oltiin kuitenkin tappamassa
+ kun se ei ollut sticky..
+
+
+*** GTK UI
+
+ - %| doesn't work with irssi text widget
+ - some problems when using multiple windows with focus being all the time in
+ one of the windows and it can't be changed to different window?! Probably
+ has something to do with click to focus.
+ - split windows are buggy, destroying them doesn't really work well..
+ - mirc ctcp togglemenuitem isn't updated right
+
+*** Big things
+
+ - some sort of address book? our own irssi ctcp to ask for other irssi users
+ for their information (of course not without asking (except optionally))..
+ could be nice also to automatically update it, keep track of all seen
+ users gathered when joining channels, whois, who, etc. commands.
+ automatically updating information could be host masks, nicks, ips, seen in
+ channels, operator in channels, .. user specified checks like last topic or
+ mode changes or even msgs to you/some channel/with some keyword. great for
+ spying people ;) maybe even useful sometimes..
+
+ .. but what database would be best for this?
+
+ - GTK (non-GNOME) version: icons to toolbars, accelerators to menus
+ - Windows style MDI windows are possible with GtkFixed .. Some people would
+ like this.. too much job for me, it would need building the MDI windows
+ ourself (title bar, borders, resizing, etc.)
+
+ - online help, documentation, ...
+ - plugins:
+ - scheme, tcl, python scripting? eggdrop/epic compatible scripting?
+ - IRC bot, eggdrop is too old, needs a replacement ;) (started, aborted)
+ - Multiplayer games! :) Chess, tic-tac-toe, othello, battleship, tetris,
+ etc. Existing games should probably be used .. though there doesn't
+ seem to be any of these (except tetris) for gnome right now..
+ - audio / video chat :)
+
+*** Needs rethinking ..
+
+ * Notify list GUI
+ - _one_ popup dialog could open which lists all nicks in notifylist, maybe
+ sorted by arrival time, display the dates, latest joined could be with
+ different color? etc.
+ - nick-specific options:
+ - pop up the dialog
+ - run some command (like /exec as soon as I get that done :)
+
+ * common api for statusbar handling
+ - it should work just as well in text mode and gui, colors could be done
+ with the normal % formats. GUI just ignores the colors..
+ - display number of ops, voices, normals and ircops in statusbar
+
+ * API for creating/modifying menus and toolbar, especially from plugins
+ - at least one configurable menu ("usermenu"), or maybe make the whole
+ menubar user configurable
+
+
+*** ..in GTK UI .. just some things to remember if i'll rewrite it again.
+
+ - itext:
+ - save/find text
+ - text selection draws the entire selection every time you move the
+ mouse...
+ - if some other window has got much text, switching to it first time
+ takes some time..?
+ - editor in setup for ~/.irssi/startup
+ - dcc floods could pop up lots of dialogs..
+ - gui help
+ - change signal handling in gui-gnome so that the actual drawing and
+ functionality are in different signals, so that plugin could change the
+ whole look and feel of irssi.
+ - currently irssi sends USERHOST commands every now and then to find out
+ who are away and who are not.. optionally it could instead just watch if
+ someone hasn't written anything to channel in n minutes and mark it "away"
+ to nicklist.
+ - check new irssi versions with http rather than with irssibot..
+ - gnome statubar:
+ - clock?
+ - dcc transfer meter (gtk progressbar)
+ - dcc send: allow selection of multiple files to send (also for dnd from
+ gmc!) Allow dropping files to anywhere in irssi.
