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
FISG is an IRC statistics generator that is meant to be, well, fast. It
handles large log files much more efficiently than PISG, and doesn't require
perl.

* /groupbuddy will allow Tab completion for existing buddy names.
* (backported from 0.12.0) New $showraw. If non-zero, messages that
are not understood by the protocol drivers will be displayed in the
:RAW window.
* The recvfrom chain no longer stops execution when incoming
private/public messages are displayed. This allows hooks from
modules to have a weight heavier than 150.
* In some situations, AOL's servers can forcibly remove you from
chat rooms. naim will now automatically rejoin them, re-creating
them if need be.
* More small cleanups in the HTML renderer.
* The dtime() routine did not allocate enough space for some
possible strings, causing displeasing truncation. Fixed.
* In certain situations, $-variable expansion could result in an
improperly-terminated string, causing out-of-bounds memory access. Fixed.
Changes:
- disable perl support. it's broken and needs patches for lang/perl5[8] which
won't be applied during the freeze
1.0:
====
- Help file updates.
Changes:
- Fixed the file transfer (see /HELP FILE) session accepting and closing.
- Fixed nickname formatting to not mess the /NAMES command output.
- Fixed MIME header parsing to not show extra characters in the MIME type
name.
- Several other bugfixes were made.
- Removed RC6 algorithm from distribution.
- Added /LISTKEYS help file (see /HELP LISTKEYS).
- Implemented optimized RSA algorithm for faster private key operations.
Private key operations are now at least 30% faster. Note however that,
this optimization works only with newly generated key pairs.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer the old private key to
the new optimized format. There is no compatibility issues with old or
new private keys (new private keys work with older SILC Clients as
well, but they are slower to use).
- Implemented support for searching users in the network by their public
keys using WHOIS command. Note that, this feature will work only with
upcoming SILC Server. Current SILC Server 0.9.15 or older does not
support this feature.
See the /HELP WHOIS for revised help information on searching by
public key. Examples:
To search nickname 'nick' that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS nick -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
To search all usesr that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
This search feature is the first search feature that uses the
Requested Attributes in WHOIS to base on the search or to narrow down
the searched values.
- added dependency on p5-File-MMagic if perl support enabled (for MMSG
support)
Changes:
- Fixed race condition between silc_client_init and my_silc_scheduler.
- Take reference of the socket in the parser context, as it's possible
to have the parsers in queue after the socket is disconnected and this
may cause crash.
- Check that packet queue purging was successful.
- Optimized the socket referencing in packet routines.
- Resolve the IP for file transfer listener from the connection socket.
- Added LISTKEYS command which can be used to list server and client
public keys from the ~./silc directory. See /HELP LISTKEYS.
- Improved the MMSG command. It now supports the target so it can be used
to send private messages too without opening a windows. It also
detects the MIME type now automatically. Support for digitally signing
the messages was also added. See /HELP MMSG, the help file is there
now. :) Replace the old silc-mime.pl script with the new one to take
advantage of all new features.
- Added /MMSG command help file.
This release focuses especially fixing the remaining MAC failed errors that
people have been experiencing and the infamous Error in select() error which
should now finally be gone. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
Changes:
- Fixed KICK command to not send the command reply twice.
- Fixed the QoS unregistering to avoid the errors in select() for invalid
socket connection.
- Fixed the rekey protocol timeout handling
- Fixed the packet processing to avoid clearing QoS data underneath the QoS.
Summary of changes from 0.11.6.2 to 0.11.6.3 [2003-10-29]
============================================
[pkg fea] More Makefile rewrites for improved compatibility.
[FT bug] Long-standing connection-deletion routine has been addressed. This
is a partial backport of the complete rewrite for 0.12.
[FT fea] Incoming messages containing links to www.candidclicks.com are
automatically ignored and the sender is automatically warned.
[FT bug] Several memory leaks have been corrected.
[Lil bug] When someone retitles a discussion, a window would be opened for
it even if you were not a member. Fixed.
[Lil bug] Potential buffer underflow in signon code identified. Fixed.
[Lil fea] New line-receiving code backported from 0.12.
[Lil fea] New line-parsing code backported from 0.12.
[UI bug] Potential use of uninitialized buffer in statusbar code
identified. Work-around implemented.
[UI bug] If two windows had identical presentations due to modifying
$nameformat/$nameformat_named, Tab would stop working. Fixed.
[UI bug] When leaving a chat generated an error, partial stack corruption
occurred. Fixed.
[UI bug] Double-join protection kept users from joining channels with an
open window that they were not actually inside. Fixed.
[UI bug] Potential heap corruption from realloc()ing a string and then
copying it into itself identified. Fixed.
[UI FEA] New key-handling code dramatically improves responsiveness for
laggy connections and when pasting large blocks of text.
Changes:
- Fixed a crashbug that occurred frequently when joining and leaving
channels.
- Fixed a crashbug in secure file transfer.
- Several other bugfixes were made.
- Introduction of multimedia message sending and reception. A perl script
silc-mime will introduce a new command MMSG, which can be used to send
MIME messages. This enables users to send for example images and other
messages. The SILC Client will automatically launch the application
that is able to view the message.
To start the script give command /script load silc-mime. It will try
to find a mailcap file which defines the MIME types and applications
that can show the MIME messages. If you want to receive MIME messages
you will also need to load the script.
To send a messages use /MMSG command. Give for example
/MMSG -channel foobar /path/to/file.gif to send a GIF image to channel
foobar. A shortcoming in the MMSG command makes it impossible to send
private messages without first opening a window for the query. This
will be fixed later.
The package does not work with MSN any longer due to protocol changes,
and the last activity on the author's part was about 19 months ago,
according to cvsweb.
Requested by Ben Collver, the maintainer.
Selected changes since 0.11.6.1:
* When supplied with an extra-long nickname on sign-on, some IRC
servers silently truncate the nickname to fit into their limits.
This confused FireTalk. Fixed.
* The /topic command sent a non-existent /TOPIC command to the
server instead of the proper /RETITLE command. Fixed.
* Several Makefiles have been rewritten for improved compatibility.
* Potential buffer overflow in spelling correction code identified.
This is thought to be responsible for several reports of the
recvfrom chain "losing" its hooks, stopping incoming messages from
being displayed to the user. Fixed.
* Small improvements to the HTML renderer.
caused the Yahoo plugin to stop working. Other bugfixes are also included
as well (as I could see, locales are installed again, the main window appears
properly, while in the previous version it got hidden misteriously, etc).

Fixes PR pkg/23173 (connection problems to MSN); initial patch provided by
Matthew Luckie in private mail.
This version is a major upgrade release and everyone running older version is
strongly recommended to upgrade to this version. This version introduces
several bugfixes, security fixes and bunch of new features. This also
completes the development work for the SILC protocol version 1.2.
Changes:
- removed patch-ac, merged into distribution
- create server keys with strict permissions
0.9.14:
=======
- Several bugfixes and security fixes were made. A major remote exploit
was also fixed.
- The SILC Server now ignores SIGXFSZ and SIGXCPU signals which will
terminate the process if they occur. They can occur in poorly
configured environment.
- Fixed SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handling which caused ghosts to remain in
the network.
- Fixed inviting and banning by public key. Fixed invite and ban string
handling. Implemented SILC 1.2 complying invite and ban data
distribution between routers and servers. To also comply with SILC 1.2,
prohibited using '@' and '!' characters in invite and ban strings.
- Support for channel public keys added. A new feature in SILC 1.2, that
allows join authentication using digital signatures. Use the latest
SILC Client to take advantage of this feature.
- Support for SILC 1.2 backup protocol. This version introduces rewritten
version of the backup router protocol. The purpose of the backup router
protocol is to prevent servers from splitting from the rest of the SILC
network if the primary router becomes unresponsive. There are no
changes to the configuration of the backup router support, and old
configurations will work with this version too.
This version is now able to detect much better different network failure
situations and understand how to work with them. The servers are now
able to actually detect when the backup router can/must be used. They
are also able, in case of error in backup router protocol, to resume
back to either to the backup router or to the primary router, and always
recover from desyncs automatically (usually within 60 seconds).
- Support for command reply error arguments was added. This allows
clients to better handle error conditions within command execution.
- The founder public key distribution now complies with the SILC 1.2.
Changes:
- remove patch-ab, merged into distribution
- cleanups in Makefile
0.9.13:
=======
- Lots of bugs was fixed. Also several security bugs has been fixed.
- Inviting and banning now works with a public key. Fixed also banning
with nickname (example, /ban +nickname).
- Support for channel public key authentication added. The CMODE command
has a new option 'C', which can be used to add and remove channel
public keys on the channel. The channel public keys work the same way
as the channel passphrase. Only the person posessing the corresponding
private key of the public key added on the channel is able to join the
channel. It is possible to add multiple channel public keys to the
public key list.
Give /HELP CMODE to see how to use the command. If the /CMODE +C is
given without arguments you will get list of current channel public
keys. This feature works only with new SILC Server 0.9.14 an newer.
You will also need to be channel founder.
- Automatic lag detector, to detect lag between your client and your
server. The lag (if any) is displayed on the status bar.
- /ME, /ACTION and /NOTICE now fully supports UTF-8 text messages.
- Using '@' and '!' characters in invite and ban strings is prohibited.
Those characters cannot be anymore used as part of invite and ban
strings.
- Better caching of old channel keys (for period of 10 seconds) to avoid
loosing any channel messages.
Patch provided by Martin Hauseman with help from Faried Nawaz, the author.
Should close PR 21620.
