- Fixed a crash in the /SET command if a boolean value was loaded from config

network.
- Improved scrollback reloading speed significantly (Soeren Sandmann Pedersen).
- [2957047] Handle CTCPs when IDmsg is used correctly (Lian Wan Situ).

request for the titlebar display, but figure the new modes intelligently
(Brian Evans).

1. Added "Private Action", "Private Action to Dialog", "SSL Message".
2. Added "Identified text" parameter all the 'action' events.
3. Added a $3 parameter to "Server Text".
- Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
* Fixed a bug that resulted in timer hooks being leaked because
"return REMOVE" from a timer callback was not unhooking like it was
supposed to
* Reverted the unintentional change to how the server argument of print()
and command() is interepreted when it is undef
* Add hook_fd to the 'hooks' export tag
* Fixed a leak in XS_Xchat_get_list(Vincent Pit)
* Change Xchat::register so that scripts calling it without a name or
version will still show up in the plugins and scripts window.
* Added calls to PERL_SYS_INIT3 and PERL_SYS_TERM which are required on
some platforms
* Added some additional guards to prevents bits of scripts from spilling
into each other
* Added "modes", "win_ptr" and "xchatdirfs" to the list of keys that are
returned by context_info()
* Changed the information displayed in the "Plugins & Scripts" for scripts
that do not call register() to show up as "" for the name and description
and "unknown" for the version
* /reloadall will now reload scripts in the same order they were loaded
* Make xchat_send_modes available as Xchat::send_modes
* Add support for getting the network list using Xchat::get_list( "networks" )
* Xchat::strip_code will now strip off ANSI escape codes as well
with X11 support (where it fixes the build). There is no compelling
reason to use Xft otherwise.
- Use CPU detection code on all NetBSD platforms. It turns out that XChat
properly deals with the case where we could figure out the number of
CPUs but not their clock frequency.
- Add support for building XChat with X11-less GTK+ 2.x under Mac OS X.
This fixes PR pkg/39328 by Adrian Portelli.
Bump package revision because of these improvements.
deal with the case where we can only determine the number of cores (which
should work on all platform) and not the CPU frequency (which only works
on some x86 machines).
- Updated translations (de, fi, fr, hu, lt, nb, ru, th, zh_CN).
- Fixed creation of ~/.xchat2/scrollback/ paths
(xc284-scrollbmkdir.diff).
- Fixed a leak of file descriptors related to the scrollback feature
(resource leak) (xc284-fix-scrollbfdleak.diff).
- Stopped scrollback files growing too large by fixing the file-shrink
code.
- Put a "Display scrollback from previous session" into the Setup GUI
(logging section) so people can turn this off without typing commands.
- Made /away work even when the reason setting is empty.
- Using /part on a channel that contains a quotation mark now works
[1800855].

Unix and Windows.

the download was still going.
- Fixed alert balloons failing if the text contained "<" characters
[1827629].
- The Drag&Drop files to userlist feature has been enabled again.
- Removed the /set tab_icons setting and made it automatic (see FAQ for
more info about icons).
- Fixed a bug in creating files (save channel list, rawlog etc) that would
set the wrong permissions.
- Added command line argument --command=COMMAND which can be used in
conjuction with --existing (E.K.L.). This sends any xchat command to
an existing (running) client.
- A private SSL key/certificate can now be loaded from ~/.xchat2/client.pem.
- The Alerts settings now accept wildcards, instead of partitial string
match [1807563].
- Changing away status during reconnect/disconnect will now remember it.
- You can now change your Away/Back status (all networks) in the tray menu.
- Favorite Channels / Auto-Join-List management:
* Network List window now has a "..." button to edit the auto-join-list
in a more friendly way.
* Channel(text area), Tree/Tab and Channel-List right-click menus now
have a "Add to Favorites" function.
* Previous limit of 300 bytes has been overcome. Now up to 2 KB worth

settings.
* /ChanOpt has been re-worked to be more like /Set.
- 'hostname:port' syntax is now accepted, if it's not an IPv6 address.
- The Userlist right-click menu now has icons and an option to add to
friends list. If you've edited this menu before you'll still get the old
one. To get the new one delete ~/.xchat2/popup.conf while XChat isn't
running.
- ~/.xchat2/startup.txt is now loaded on launch (like /LOAD -e). Put any
commands you want executed at startup here.
- The lag-o-meter now has a full scale of 1.0 seconds.
- libnotify is now opened directly instead of using 'notify-send' to open
tray/balloon alerts.
- Added support for QuakeNet's /AUTH for nick password, when numeric
005 NETWORK=QuakeNet is detected.
- You can now copy with IRC attributes and mIRC colors if CTRL key is down
when a selection is finished (on mouse release). This replaces the old
"Color paste" feature.
- Added a 'compact' flag to gui_tweaks. This'll make the userlist and tree
spacing smaller. E.g. type /set -or gui_tweaks 32 and restart to turn
it on.
- The /CLEAR command takes a number as paramater (how many lines to clear).
- When there's missing information in the Userlist right-click menu,
it'll issue a silent /WHOIS and fill it in. This includes retrieving
a person's away-reason.
- Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
* /reloadall will now reload all the scripts that are currently load
instead of simply reruning the autoload routine
* gtk/glib/gdk errors and warnings have been redirected back to stderr
so they will no longer show up in the text box as a result of having
the Perl plugin loaded

dialog if they do (Peter Zelezny)

events, depending on user's settings.
* Fixed a bug where not all 32 elements were available in
word[]/word_eol[].

have a resize handle, previously the tree's size was fixed.
- The userlist can be hidden and shown with CTRL+F7.
- [1735116] Channel List's minimum users spin-button can now be set downward

setup dialog.

exactly, but 2.8.0 (mis)behaviour works too.
- Perl
* Execute the shutdown callback before removing the hooks so commands
created by the script can be used in the callback.
Adds a "cs" locale file. And adds system tray notification support.
(Maybe the xchat-systray-integration package is not needed now?)
Note I never tested the python plugin (but did build and install).
Added two patches direct from xchat's FTP site.

Install a couple documentation files.
Use INSTALLATION_DIRS to create the plugins directory.
ChangeLog hs:
