Added workaround to support the broken MD5 encryption used
in Epona/Anope (through at least version 1.7.14),
enabled by the EnableAnopeWorkaround option for the
encryption/md5 module in modules.conf.
configure -check (run by the Makefile) no longer leaves a
conf-tmp directory lying around.
Fixed error when compiling with recent versions of GNU make.
Fixed crash when importing some Anope databases.
Added support to convert-db for recent versions of Epona.
Changes since version 2.6.2:
- Updated translations (de, el, es, fr, gl, hu, nl, sr, sv, vi, zh_TW).
- Fixed the invisible cursor color when using GTKSpell and a black
input box (when "Use the text box font & colors" is ON).
- Allow loading a cert/privatekey file from ~/.xchat2/<NetWorkName>.pem
- Improved the fallback routine when you receive non-UTF8 messages. It
can now handle CP1252 from mIRC users and the ISO-8859-15 Euro symbol.
- Added CHANOPT command for setting channel specific options such as showing
of joins and part, beep on message and color paste (Lian Wan Situ).
- /CLEAR HISTORY will clear your command history.
- Fixed a crash if you left a Ban-List window open after closing the
associated channel and then clicking Refresh.
- Added an option of using 'Last-Spoke' nick completion order in Settings >
Input Box.
- The /QUERY command now has -nofocus arg, which scripts might find useful.
- You can now /set gui_url_mod 0, to allow left-clicking URLs (default is
4, for CTRL).
- XChat will now respect gtk-button-images=0 set in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
- Added a ./configure option to use your preferred spelling library:
--enable-spell=type. Where type can be: none static libsexy gtkspell.
Note that using gtkspell will force the inputbox to become a GtkTextView.
- Advanced users can /set tab_small 2, to get _extra_ small tabs.
- Added /SPLAY <soundfile>.
- Plugin API:
* The second args to xchat_list_int and xchat_list_str can now be NULL as
a shortcut to "channels" list for current context only.
* Added bits 6-8 to the field "flags" in the "channels" list.
* /GUI MSGBOX <text> can now contain Pango markup.
* Added -m arg to /MENU. See plugin20.html for more.
- Fixed opening a irc:// URL via "xchat -a --url=abc123" command while
"Skip serverlist on startup" is off. This fix is only relevant when
opening an initial instance of xchat (i.e not via dbus).
- Fixed the tree layout "flashing" (redrawing slowly) after you
switched to tabs and back to tree.
- Fixed plugin/script get_list("users") causing a critical GDK warning
when not executed from the front-most tab.
- Added spelling support in the input-box via GTKSpell.
- Improved the error reporting when connecting through a Socks proxy.
- DCC file transfers via http/socks45/wingate proxy is now supported
(Damjan Jovanovic & me).
- Fixed Socks 5 failing on 64-bit CPUs.
- Added support for connecting through a Microsoft ISA Proxy, requires
libntlm at build time (Pavel Fedin).

bug where the separator line disappeared during /lastlog.
- Added a Browse button to the DCC download folder setting.

- Improved the notify window a little and fixed a small memory leak.
- Fixed CTCPs being truncated in the RawLog window.
- Added an option to open a "Save As..." dialog when receiving a
DCC file offer.
- Fixed a crash if you try to remove a network from the list while
it's in a auto-reconnect delay [debian bug #364858].
- Python: Fixed some memory usage bugs.
From changelog:
Version 1.0.3 (released 2006-06-24) hilights:

re-download of all the files (because a language file changed.)
There has to be a better way to do this, but I'm following minskim's
precedent from rev 1.37
a variable that clearly no longer exists), the package downloads and
builds fine without it, and there is no clear reason why it was there
to begin with.
* Fixed issue where no disconnect signal was emitted when connection closed
during opening
* Plugged a memory leak in LmConnection
* Fixed warnings due to uninitialized value
* Fixed a reentrancy-related issue with LmConnection
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
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
Summary of changes from 0.11.8.1 to 0.11.8.2
============================================
[FT fea] CTCP requests and replies will now be stacked onto outgoing
messages and autoreplies, respectively. This feature applies to
both IRC and AIM.
[TOC fea] Preliminary support for having multiple clients connected
to the same screen name on AIM. naim is now able to keep buddy
lists synchronized between all clients. Eliminates warnings about
unknown INSERTED2 and DELETED2 messages.
[FT fea] Misc. code cleanups and simplifications backported from
ngnaim.
[TOC bug] Apparently, some users can sign on to AIM in such a way
as to mask their signon time. FireTalk used a signon time of 0 to
designate "offline", which led to some confusion when users signed
on with an actual reported signon time of 0. This led to assertion
failures in toc2.c. Fixed.
[IRC fea] A user's user@host is now displayed when the user joins
a channel on IRC.
[FT bug] In some cases, CTCP requests were compared to the list
of known types case insensitively, sometimes case sensitively. The
spec. requires sensitivity to case. Fixed.
[IRC fea] All messages sent without a source are treated as coming
from a pseudo-target of ":SERVER".
[IRC fea] All messages sent before client signon is completed that
are not handled by the signon parser are passed to the normal
parser. This allows forced joins, CTCP handling from bots during
signon, etc.
[FT fea] Some IRC servers send CTCP VERSION requests during signon,
before 001 (IRC's "you are now signed on and can send messages"
protocol message), and demand a reply. naim was naively replying,
but FireTalk was suppressing the reply (since it hadn't been told
it could send messages yet). A hack has been put in place to allow
CTCP replies to go through before signon has completed.
[IRC bug] The /SETPRIV command did not have a handler in irc.c.
This causes a reliable crash. Fixed.
[UI bug] In some situations, naim could report a negative number
of lines left to play back during scrollback. Workaround implemented.
[UI fea] /open WINDOW now jumps you to WINDOW if WINDOW already
exists.
[UI fea] Overusing nickname completion now only complains to you
a few times, then stops. Previously it complained forever unless
an obscure setting was toggled.
[UI fea] New $ctcpverbose. If set, unknown CTCP requests are
displayed in the UI.
[pkg bug] Most tail utilities accept either "tail +3 file" or "tail
-n +3 file" the same. Some only accept "tail -n +3 file". Others
only accept "tail +3 file". naim's packaging no longer uses the
tail utility, at all.
[UI fea] The /sync command has been removed.
[pkg fea] The --firetalk-lily-binary-link configure option has been
removed, along with all code paths that depended on it.
[UI fea] Improved error condition reporting backported from ngnaim.
[UI bug] In some situations, file transfers could report incorrect
completion statistics due to integer overflow. All calculations
are performed using floating point now, though the UI still only
displays whole numbers.
[UI bug] A change in how windows were looked up made in 0.11.8.1
caused all messages to both users and chats to be sent using the
send-to-user API. This did not cause problems on IRC or Lily, but
did cause chat room messages to be silently eaten on AIM. Fixed.
[UI fea] At some point since the 0.11.8.1 release, AOL's servers
began changing bare \n characters in profiles to the string <br/>\n,
which naim did not understand. naim now treats <br/> as a synonym
for <br>.
[UI fea] The dynamic library subsystem is initialized before
.naimrc is parsed, allowing your .naimrc to use the modload command.
