used and others were added where needed.
Main NetBSD changes:
- switched from glib1 to glib2.
- added IRSSI_USE_SSL, defaulting to YES, for ssl server support
- make it possible to disable IPv6
v0.8.8 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
- Just a few fixes to converting old settings automatically
v0.8.7 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* Settings changes - we have now "time", "size" and "level" setting
types.
- Level settings should work the same as before.
- Time settings can have units: days, hours, mins, secs,
milliseconds (or msecs). The units can be combined and written
in shorter form as well, for example "5d 30m 10ms"
- Size settings can have units: gbytes, mbytes, kbytes, bytes.
They can be written in shorter form as well, eg. "gb" or "g".
Your existing settings should be converted automatically.
+ Pasting detection. All keys except CR and LF are pasted as-is into
prompt in pasting mode.
/SET paste_detect_time controls how closely each others characters
must occur for it to be considered pasting. Paste mode goes on when
first pasted CR/LF is found.
The first line may also contain some command characters. They are
executed, but their action in entry line is reverted once pasting
is detected.
What this means in practise is that even if you have TABs (assuming
TAB is completion key) in the first pasted line, they get pasted as
TABs.
This detection isn't perfect, so if it annoys you it can be disabled
with /SET paste_detect_time 0
+ If pasting more lines than /SET paste_verify_line_count, irssi asks
if you actually want to do that. This should be useful to prevent
accidental copy&paste mistakes. Setting it to 0 disables this
entirely.
+ Support for sending SSL certificate to server and optionally verify
server's certificate. See the -ssl_* options for /SERVER and
/SERVER ADD. Patch by Joel Eriksson.
+ DCC SERVER support by Mark Trumbull
+ Support for DCC sending larger files than 2GB if supported by
operating system (ie. 64bit file support). Receiving has always
been possible, but the statistics were wrong with >4GB files
if 64bit support isn't enabled.
+ Better displaying of DCC file transfer statistics.
- Several other minor fixes and enhancements, see ChangeLog

* src/core/network.c: If bind() fails when connecting, don't fallback to
default address. Should make it easier to notice invalid settings or
figure out why it's not working..
2002-11-28 23:43 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* src/core/network.c: net_gethostbyaddr() was pretty much broken.
* Tons of changes, here's only the largest that come to my mind now:
+ SSL support by vjt at users.sf.net
+ DCC send queues by Heikki Orsila
+ Better support for !channels
The new Makefile.common will be used by Irssi plugins.
Approved by wiz.

Changes:
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.
differently than suggested.
Don't let package look in LOCALBASE for curses (especially if
USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY is set, and ncurses buildlink.mk is already included...).
