Changes since ircII 20060725:
o /on channel_signoff works again
o try to split ICB messages at word boundaries
o disallow many IRC commands on ICB
o /ping works on ICB
o revert the utf-8 changes for large lastlog performance reasons.
there should be a re-implementation coming in the future.
and to support the "inet6" option instead.
Remaining usage of USE_INET6 was solely for the benefit of the scripts
that generate the README.html files. Replace:
BUILD_DEFS+= USE_INET6
with
BUILD_DEFS+= IPV6_READY
and teach the README-generation tools to look for that instead.
This nukes USE_INET6 from pkgsrc proper. We leave a tiny bit of code
to continue to support USE_INET6 for pkgsrc-wip until it has been nuked
from there as well.
o default status line now tells you when you are scrolled up
o new variables status_scrolled and status_scrolled_lines
o new status format modifiers %P and %s
o fixed a bug with the input prompt being overtaken
o /set translation has been removed. all encoding support now depends
on the existance of iconv(3) support, enhancing the capabilities and
correctness of codeset conversion. the translation and iso2022_support
variables have been replaced with input_encoding, display_encoding
and irc_encoding
o /msg -server <servergroup|servername|number> <target> <message>
now works to send message on specific servers ie, other than the
current window's server
o support new $IRCSERVERSFILE that overrides $LIBDIR/ircII.servers
and be more precise about which files are handled instead of touching
all the files in share/irc/help. Also, use PLIST_SUBST instead of
manually replacing @GZ@ in the PLIST.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
passing -Xc to sunpro defines __STDC__=1 and the build fails in
ircsig.c because <signal.h> only declares sigaction if __STD__=0.
fixes build on Solaris w/ sunpro.
o various documentation updates
o ircii now requires an ANSI C compiler (such as GCC) to compile
