bitlbee is an IRC gateway to other chat networks. It provides an IRC server
where users connect to and have access to all their contacts in ICQ, MSN,
Jabber or even IRC itself. Protocols are implemented using Gaim's code.
Multiple users are supported too, where each one has its own set of accounts
and contacts.
Provided by Juan RP in pkgsrc-wip with some changes by me.
- Updated translations (ca, fr, ja, sv).
- Fixed URL grabber not filling up (xc202-fixurlg.diff).
- Fixed crash when holding down Ctrl-I (xc202-fixdetach.diff).
- Use Shift-Ctrl-W for Close only when Emacs key theme is enabled.
- Fixed corrupt left margin with indent-nicks off and timestamp on.
- Remove invalid chars from inbound text when conversion fails. Fall
back to ISO-8859-1 when using UTF-8 only (Ilya Konstantinov).
- Fixed perl IRC::get_info(3) crash when not connected [732496].
- Fixed crash on long output lines for /exec -o [731187].
- Made "Move completed files to:" and "Save nickname in filenames"
work at the same time (Matthew Gabeler-Lee).
- xtext: fix redraw when new additions not on current page.
- win32: Added /set identd 0 switch to turn off built-in identd.
- Added 6-8 for perl's IRC::get_info to retreive network, host and
topic (Ryan).
- Iterate in alpha order instead of op-alpha for nickcompletion
(Gauss_Z88).
- Fixed ChannelList crash on invalid regex match string.
- Added hide join/parts setting to gui (Jason Wies).
- Added Delete All button to ignore window (Mohammed Sameer).
- Don't allow adding empty names to notify list [741589].
- Made message fragmentation code utf8 friendly so it always splits
on a multibyte char boundary [748653].
- Support 2 to 4 GB files in DCC (contrary to 1.9.4 changelog, it
didn't work until now).
- Python: Fixed crash when returning 0 from a timer (Steve Green).
- Multihead fixes for popup menus.
- Added support for numeric 307 and 320 "is an identified user".
- Allow setting a blank topic via the GUI [720407].
include:
Glib is not needed to build the program anymore.
The old nickname didn't appear in the change nickname input line which
was invoked from the Account manager dialog.
Logging became more configurable. Now from the configuration dialog it's
possible to enable/disable such facilities like log messages timestamping,
showing of users going online and offline and "user is typing"
notifications.
The --bind command parameter was added. Using it it's possible to specify
a custom IP centericq should use for outgoing connections.
MSN status related problems were fixed. Like when user set "one the phone"
or "lunch" status centericq used to show them as being offline.
A patch from Mark Verboom <mark@verboom.net> was applied. It allows to
enable chat mode only for specified protocols.
The find/add users dialog didn't allow entering nicknames, which made it
impossible to add yahoo and aim contacts.
Major bug fixes:
If only one window was open, the buddy for that window signed off,
the window was marked keep-after-signoff, and was cleaned up after
$autoclose minutes, the event handler would enter an infinite loop or
possibly cause untrackable stack corruption. Fixed.
Major feature additions:
[TOC] Default server is now toc.n.ml.org. Once AOL has fixed its
servers and/or its DNS, this host will be CNAMEd back to toc.oscar.aol.com.
Major bug fixes:
SIGCHLD handler wasn't being installed properly, causing the
children of /exec to hang around as zombies. Fixed.
Major feature additions:
[TOC] Addbuddy requests will always be consolidated between calls to
firetalk_select(), evading the "You are sending messages too fast" error
users with very large buddy lists receive during reconnect.
Buddies in the special "User" group will always be treated as
"non-permanent", and will be subject to $autoclose. Buddies in any other
group will be considered "permanent" and will only be removed through manual
intervention. Note that buddies added due to $autobuddy are put into the
"User" group by default.
Window-to-logfile mapping has been made more explicit, removing the
need for a costly tree search per message and greatly reducing logfile
playback time.
Window logfile playback is now always delayed, to significantly
reduce initial startup time. Windows will be played back once per minute, or
as you Tab or /jump to them.
If your $TERM is set to "ansi", display a warning, 5 second delay,
and switch it to "linux".
Added basic stack support to the HTML renderer to allow embedded
tags, etc.
Added BGCOLOR support to the HTML renderer.
New $winlistchars. Sets the number of characters can be displayed
per line in the window list window.
* New 'pid_file', 'allow_users' and 'allow_kill' config directives.
* New -p command line parameter (adjusts pid_file).
* Included contrib scripts, cronchk.sh and privmsg-log.pl
* New 'server_keepalive' config directive.
* Bug fixes.
Changes in the package:
* We need perl to run some of the installed scripts.
* Provide a rc.d script to run the daemon.
* Honour PKG_SYSCONFDIR.

libstdc++ in gcc3.
when defined, USE_GCC_SHLIB ensures that the correct rpath is passed
to the linker, and a full dependency on the compiler package is
registered.
packages which define USE_GCC_SHLIB should not include
mk/gcc.buildlink2.mk (or gcc{,3}/buildlink2.mk) as it is handled
automatically.
Changes:
- use tar.bz2 distfile
- install documentation in proper locations
- install more docs
- fix PLIST for NOPIC and USE_INET6
- DESCR has 80 columns
