* Try to add some stuff that helps epic cope with server disconnections
better.
* Add /on error, hooks on an irc protocol ERROR message.
* Fix window.c:get_boolean(), passing unitialized 'newval' integer.
* Fix path_search() to not blithely assume path != NULL (whitedragon)
* New version of the 'hybrid6' script, from is.
* Axe the broken "input_timeout" feature that hasn't worked in 6 years.
* Add, but #ifdef'd out, a delayed-free mechanism -- strictly
experimental.
* Add the /defer command, to perform dangerous operations when it's
safe.
* Many changes from robohak to fix /on channel_* bogons I introduced.
;-)
* Lice should now work again with 0.9.16.

out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.

This feature has many new bug fixes as well as support for Jabber and
Napster. Please read the STATUS file for more information.
Update requested by Greg Troutman <gtroutman@pro01.idg.net> in private
mail.
EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. No longer is EPIC 100%
backwards compatable with ircII, but instead those things where
compatability is undesirable have been found and fixed. No gratuitous
incompatabilities have been added, but lots of new code has been added to
make EPIC the best ircII client available.

- xtext: Fixed the mark-clear bug (gnome bug #34584).
- Updated German translation (Tamer Fahmy).
- Commas are replaced with %2c in URLs, as to not confuse poor old
Netscape (deb bug #70905).
- Bluestring to 300 chars (deb bug #79138).
- Added option /SET percascii, which can disable/enable translation
of %XXX into an ascii value while typing (deb bug #76122).
- New hotkey hook: key_action_put_history. Only inserts line into
history, but doesn't send it to the server (DaP).
- Lots of SSL updates:
* Make accept_invalid_cert optional on /sslserver (DaP).
* Print verbose information of SSL session on connect (DaP).
* Clean up code at X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT checking
(DaP).
- xtext: Fixed lockup with certain sized fonts.
- xtext: Made some changes to improve efficiency when using really
large scrollback buffers (only noticable when doublebuffer off).
- Fixed a bug in /help crashing on longer than 10 char UserCommands.
- Fixed autoreconnect while using a proxy server.
- Never-give-up ReConnect does just that (even more so than before :)
- Fixed the channelmode buttons mouse-over problem.
- Fixed percentage display for large files in dcc recv/send gui.
- StartTime in dcc chat gui no longer Jan 1 1970.
- Fixed DCC send behind IP-Nat (Bernhard Valenti)
<bernhard.valenti@gmx.net>.
- Added Lithuanian translation (Gediminas Paulauskas).
- The < > buttons arn't shown for non-tab windows (Aaron Lehmann).
- Fixed the (-1,-1) transparency problem for non-tab windows.
- xtext: More efficient handling of expose events, text marking and
url highlighting when double buffer is OFF.
- xtext: Fixed a very rare bug that could cause BadGC errors or the
separator bar not to be drawn.
- Fixed crash in right-clicking URLs in the URL Grabber window.
- If Check-For-Replace is in the keybindings for Return, it'll
actually work again.
- USER login command now sends your nodename instead of 'localhost'
to please some IRCNet servers.
- Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
- Updated Slovak translation (Stano Visnovsky).
- Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
- Updated Greek translation (Fanis Dokianakis).
- Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
- If Never-Give-Up Reconnect is ON, it won't give up on DNS failer.
- '/me is back' is sent again when Announce Away Messages is ON.
- If channelmode buttons were OFF and you joined a channel with a
userlimit xchat would crash - fixed.
- /sslserver's password arg. is now optional (Daniel Richards).
- SSL accepts self signed certs (Daniel Richards).
- Fixed the unnecessary window resizes when opening a new tab.
- Changed the tinting code a bit (thanks gnapster :).
- Transparent shell tabs update too when they are moved.
- Added "Enable double buffer" toggle in Setup->Channel windows.
- Double buffer is now OFF by default (seems to use less CPU).
- Timestamps didn't turn ON while indent was OFF - fixed.
- Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
- Added some extra text events: Channel Msg hilight, Channel
Action hilight (near top of the list). No more cardcoded color
codes! Also hilighting in actions works, and you can make the whole
message hilighted if you change the event text.
- Initial window size is actually set to your settings (this will
never be perfect I guess, sometimes to the window still resizes
itself without warning).
- Hidemenubar setting didn't work properly for non-tabs and when
delinking windows - fixed.
- Notices appear in front tab even when server tabs are enabled.
- Changed Away behaviour again. No more /back, /away with no args
brings you back. The menu-item's state is what the server tells
it, it even changes when you switch tabs to another server. Xchat
assumes you are not away when you first connect. irc::get_info(5)
returns the away state. One day the other UserModes menu items will
show correct states. Is everyone happy now?
- Translation tables didn't work for outgoing text - fixed.
- Cleaned up a few xchat.conf names, a few settings may not load up
from 1.5.9 - just set them again.
- Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
- Added Hebrew translation (Dan Fruehauf).
- Fixed crash bug when partreason was not set.
- Dialog tabs obay the hidetopicbar setting now too (the one in the
right-click menu).
- Cleaned up the settings gui: the whole window is more compact now,
some toggles in two columns, numbers use a spin-button, entry boxes
are larger and option-menus are more consistant.
- The "o=xx v=xx t=xx" display is finally changed.
- Changed most of xtext.c to use gdk instead of Xlib.
- Added configure option:
--disable-xlib disable use of xlib (for non X11 systems)
This might help compile xchat on other GTK supported systems like
BeOS and Win32 (havn't tried it though).
- Neater /set list.
- You can now set a nickname per server (see serverlist edit window).
- Changed the behaviour of /away and added /back (James Crawford).
- Away reason can now be a text file of random reasons too.
- Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
- Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
- Updated Greek translation (Dokianakis Fanis).
- Updated German translation (Tamer Fahmy).
- Added Catalan translation (Pablo Saratxaga).
- Added option "Always timestamp logs" which timestamps log files
even if on-screen timestamps are off (Mike Guidero).
- Added entry "Part Reason: ". Also part and quit reasons can be
a filename of random reasons (filename relative to ~/.xchat/).
- Took out /unban as a internal command, add it as a usercommand
/quote MODE %c -b &2 instead.
- Added a text event for banlist. Try /banlist and it'll be a bit
more readable now.
- Changed output throttle system (undernet style) (Alex Badea).
- Added 1 second linger socket option to stop QUIT msgs from being
lost (they still get lost sometimes, why?).
