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.

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.

when defined, USE_GCC_SHLIB ensures that the correct rpath is passed
to the linker, and a full dependency on the compiler package is

Licq-core is a multi-threaded ICQ clone written mostly in C++. It
uses an extensive plugin system to manage many different functions.
The main gui is written using the Qt widget set. Licq is distributed

Patch provided in PR pkg/21287 by Juan RP.
Major feature additions:
/save now saves /alias'd commands.
New /filter command to manipulate internal filter tables.
New /namebuddy command. If you use /namebuddy, or attempt to
/addbuddy someone already in your list, naim will allow you
to modify their "real name".
Auto-messages (for /away) are only sent if you are actually idle, so
people using /away as a kind of "blurb" won't send
auto-responses. If you mark /away and actually leave,
auto-responses are sent immediately. If you send any IM's
after marking /away, you won't send auto-responses until you
are idle for at least 10 minutes.
Support for channel keys improved. /save will now record channel
keys in .naimrc, and will rejoin keyed channels properly.
New distinction between "permanent" buddies, those manually added
with /addbuddy or stored in your server profile, and
"auto-added" buddies, those added because they contacted you
while $autobuddy was set.
^ New $autoclose. If set, naim will /close and /delbuddy
non-permanent buddies $autoclose minutes after they sign
off. If their window has unread messages, autoclose will be
delayed until they have been read. If the buddy has queued
messages pending, autoclose is cancelled altogether.
New /names (/buddylist) behaviour to show much more relevant
information about your buddy list.
New /resize command to change the length of the scrollback buffers.
Major bug fixes:
--enable-detached was not fixed in 0.11.5.6. Fixed. For real this
time.
[TOC] /sync was broken in 0.11.5.6-2003-03-02-1423. FireTalk's TOC
quoting mechanism will now only strip space characters,
rather than all forms of whitespace.
On disconnect, your buddy list would be re-added by naim. This has
caused some problems during signon, and had the side-effect
of marking all non-permanent buddies as permanent. Fixed.
IRC Services is a system of services to be used with Internet Relay Chat

crashes for example during reconnect timeouts.
- Removed --session and --dummy options from Irssi SILC Client.

Major bug fixes:
AOL's primary TOC server (toc-m01.blue.aol.com) went down at
approximately 2003-03-10T1420; this has temporarily been
replaced with toc.oscar.aol.com.
Discussion destructions were not properly being handled in Lily.
IM handling routines were not properly handling buddies with
alternate names set (the third argument to /addbuddy),
causing away messages to be misdirected.
Major feature additions:
New $autoreconnect. If set, whenever naim is disconnected from a
service, it will attempt to reconnect automatically. For
services that require a password, you may wish to /set
servicename:password "your password" in order to allow naim
to reconnect while unattended (for example, /set
AIM:password "my pass").
All users should upgrade to this version. There are no security
considerations, but users may be unable to sign on (or stay connected) to
the default TOC server used in the past.

[UI fea] Lag check is now to the tenth of a second.
[UI fea] /help now describes /-commands if given as an argument.

[UI fea] Profile now includes extended interface information.

============================================
[UI fea] History scrollback now leaves the cursor at the end of the line, without affecting partial matching.

============================================
[pkg fea] New --with-pkgdocdir to control the location documentation files are installed to (which is also where naim's /help command looks for them).
[pkg fea] New --enable-firetalk-lily-ctcpmagic, experimental.
[IRC bug] Adding a buddy caused an immediate signon notification, which caused confusing problems down the line. Fixed.
[Lil fea] Improved support for /REVIEW and /MEMO (without requiring --enable-debug). Try ``/alias review /m :raw /REVIEW $args1*'' and ``/alias memo /m :raw /MEMO $args1*''.
[UI fea] $im_prefix and $im_suffix are now documented and will be stored in .naimrc with /save.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-20-1216 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-25-1257
============================================
[pkg fea] --enable-firetalk-lily-ctcpmagic removed, now enabled by default.
[UI fea] ``/help topics'' expanded.
[IRC fea] Buddy tracking drastically rewritten. Small known bugs to be fixed at a later date.
[IRC fea] Server errors during sign-on are now passed along to the client.
[Lil fea] Handles nickname changes now.
[Lil bug] CTCP magic would be falsely enabled in some situations. Fixed.
[UI fea] Short informational blurb displayed in window list window when offline.
[UI fea] Window list window will be permanently displayed until the user signs on.
[UI bug] /closeall was broken at some point due to other code changes. Fixed.
[UI fea] Command completion now checks for /alias's first, then fixed commands.

Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-25-1257 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-28-1950
============================================
[MSN fea] Now able to sign on fully, but does not handle private messages properly. Use at your own risk.
[UI fea] File transfer status is a bit more verbosely reported now.
[UI bug] Blurbs and timezones were not cleared on signoff. Fixed.
[UI fea] Previously-typed text completion now kicks in after 5 characters (previously 20), but caches previous searches to minimize search impact.
[UI bug] When editting text in the input window, moving the cursor to the last character on a line caused screen artifacts. Fixed.
[UI fea] ~/.naimlog files will be flushed to disk at regular intervals (every $tprint minutes).
[UI bug] Automatic messages weren't being displayed the same way as user-typed messages (for example, $timeformat was being ignored). Fixed.
[UI bug] If a user supplied a text colour that matched your IM window's background colour, the text could disappear. Fixed, though note that for purposes of this logic, the CLEAR background colour is thought to correspond to the BLACK foreground colour, so those of you using xterm's with white backgrounds are still SOL.
[UI fea] As an experiment, I'm allowing high ASCII characters in IM's to be displayed to the screen raw. Let me know if this causes problems for any terminal types.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-28-1950 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-30-1604

============================================

[IRC fea] Code cleanups.
[IRC bug] ircd-ratbox (irc.servercentral.net on EFnet) does not collapse cmode +ov into @user in /names output (it displays @+user), which violates RFC. naim is now more tolerant of such noncompliance.
[IRC fea] Unknown server messages and numerics are now sent along to the user with a source of :RAW, originally they were simply ignored. This is mainly to motivate me to track down all standard commands and numerics that aren't properly handled.
[IRC fea] Users by default contain no flags, so they will not be identified as "AOLamer" in /whois.
[Lil bug] Usernames were not properly escaped (i.e. spaces converted to underscores) during renames. Fixed.
[Lil bug] /MEMO output contained duplicate identification messages interspersed with the actual output. Fixed.

[IRC fea] Unrecognized messages are sent to a :RAW pseudo-chat.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-02-05-1851 to 0.11.5.4-2003-02-07-1416
============================================

[IRC fea] Reformatted 352 numeric before passing along as unhandled.
[Lil fea] IRC-style "unhandled" notification introduced.
[UI fea] Tab is now magically caught during pastes, a la the Enter key.
[UI bug] Enter key catching sometimes caused inappropriate blank lines to be sent to the user. Fixed.

Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-11-1505
============================================
[IRC bug] ^O did not properly clear attributes. Fixed.
[IRC fea] Added 307 numeric ("x has identified for this nick") to ignore list.
[Lil fea] Unhandled messages now more useful.
[Lil bug] Change in naim behaviour broke Lily driver's ability to send :RAW commands. Fixed.
[UI FEA] ^R and ^Y scroll back and forward now, for OS 10 Terminal.app users who have no PgUp/PgDown.
[UI FEA] SIGHUP, SIGUSR1, and SIGUSR2 are now caught as pseudo-keys, handled by /bind.
[UI fea] /connect will attempt to catch when you specify a server instead of a nickname, and adjust its behaviour accordingly.
[UI FEA] Extended ASCII input now handled more gracefully.
[Lil bug] Previous feature breaks Lily support. Continuing bug, expecting fix soon at the server level.
[UI fea] All locally echoed messages will be echoed to the status window as well.
[UI fea] &#xxx; characters now handled properly.
[UI BUG] --enable-detach was broken in 0.11.5.4. Fixed.
[UI fea] Variables listed in /set are now left-justified.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-11-1505 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-14-2157
============================================
[UI FEA] The "AIM/TOC" protocol name has been renamed to "TOC", since it works for both AIM and ICQ. "AIM/TOC" will still be accepted so as not to break existing .naimrc's.
[mod fea] New "nstatus" module distributed with naim, as a simpler example module.
[pkg FEA] ``make install'' now installs symlinks for nirc, nicq, and nlily which all have different startup behaviours.
[UI fea] Tab completion for buddies now works more transparently when dealing with buddy realnames (as opposed to screen names).
[UI fea] Slight UI tweaks.
[pkg fea] The doc/*.txt files are now actually plain text.
[UI FEA] All /help topics have been moved back to being internal to naim (i.e., the doc/*.txt files are no longer used).
[UI fea] /names ON and /names OFF will now display online and offline buddies, respectively.
[UI BUG] naim would automatically /load ~/.${0}rc at start, but /save would always save to ~/.naimrc. /save now saves to ~/.${0}rc, which I consider to be fixed.
[UI FEA] When a buddy has a "realname" (the third argument to /addbuddy), that will be used in query windows instead of their screen name. This is primarily for ICQ, where it doesn't make much sense any other way.
[UI FEA] Built-in default naimrc now fits nicely into an 80x25 screen.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-14-2157 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0908
============================================
[pkg fea] Autoconf now displays the protocol drivers enabled at compile time.
[UI fea] /newconn now accepts "AIM", "AIM/TOC", "ICQ", and "ICQ/TOC" as synonyms for "TOC".
[UI fea] Autopaste will not engage when typing a command.
[UI fea] Variables with overlong descriptions in ``/help settings'' now have separate, left-justified lines.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0908 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0940
============================================
[Lil bug] /part'ing a non-existent discussion (such as :RAW) would cause an unidentified error to be sent to :RAW. Fixed.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0940 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-22-0034
============================================
[Lil bug] /create'ing an existing discussion (such as -ctcpmagic) would cause an unidentified error to be sent to :RAW. Fixed.
[UI fea] New $winlistheight, to set the percentage of the screen height to use for the window list window. Default of 75.
[UI fea] When redrawing windows (such as during start-up), naim now updates the status bar to keep you informed.
[UI fea] New $logtprint, 1 = log daily timestamps, 2 = log all timestamps. Default of 1.
[UI fea] When flushing log files (every $tprint minutes), naim now updates the status bar to keep you informed.
[pkg bug] Some of the generation scripts used "%i", while some awk's only accept "%d" for integers. Fixed.
[UI fea] All "special" status bar messages now use a different background/foreground pair for extra visibility.
List of changes since 2.10.04 is very large and code-oriented. The
authors seem to not maintain a user digestable list of changes.
See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes if you insist :)
Updated provided by Adrian Portelli in PR pkg/20531, with some changes
by me.
rebuild the documentation database at install/deinstall time. This means
that:
- PLIST's do not need to call scrollkeeper-{update,rebuilddb} directly;
this is done by a bsd.pkg.install.mk template.
- The share/omf directory is only removed by scrollkeeper, which is the
last package in the dependancy tree.
- PKGREVISION is bumped.

Quoting xchat 2.0.0 announcement:
* By default, xchat will use Pango to render text. This is usually quite
fast, if you have Pango 1.1 and Xft2 on your system. If you need to use
Pango 1.0, or find text rendering slow, you can use the ./configure switch
--enable-xft, which will bypass Pango. NB: --enable-xft will also remove
some of Pango's nice i18n features, such as multiple fonts and bidi.
If the text is still unbearably slow, disable font smoothing in Gnome2
Font Preferences.
With the actual pango's buildlink2.mk, xchat2 will use, at least, pango
1.2.0, so XFT is useless.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.

4.6.9
=====
Now when free disk space becomes less than 10k centericq goes offline,
refuses to connect and doesn't touch configuration files to not to lose
any data.
A compilation error with "twisted" versions of iconv was fixed by adding
another check to configure.
The "Next" button was added to the history. It actually goes back, so it's
called so to conform the UI look.
Weird behaviour of the group mode 2 when there is only one contact list
group defined was fixed.
When available, iconv is used for translation between koi8 and cp1251
codepages instead of the internal routine.
Support for AIM TOC protocol was added. This means now centericq supports
four IM flavours, which makes it even more useful tool. Now, looking at
the centericq main screen I find myself a real schizophrenic with four
IM "avatars". So there is another slogan for the program "centericq - the
power of your shizo" :)
HDD access was reduced by not reading away messages every second, how it
was before. So now owners of laptops should have no worries about batteries,
for centericq will allow their boxes to go to power saving mode.
Fixed a bug with user's details fetching, resulted into weird behaviour
caused by new-line character in any fields on the information.
This version also introduces the "relaxed" re-connect strategy. Every time
it cannot automatically re-connect to an IM service, the try period is
icreased by half of its previous value. This is made so that "turboing"
situations are recovered without any user's intervention.
Invalid username or/and password situation is now tracked and reported
in the Yahoo! engine.
Finally, a bug caused centericq to freeze (for protocols' activities)
after "Ctrl-L" was fixed with a patch sent by Sergey A.
Kogan <kogan@omskelecom.ru>
4.7.1
=====
Seems like I just cannot stop adding support for protocols. Thus,
support for IRC was implemented in this version. It doesn't (yet?)
support talking on channels and intended only for private messaging.
Though, you can enter channels to be visible for other users staying on
them. Channels are controlled with the "Channel manager" dialog which
can be ivoked from the account manager. It's also possible to fetch a
list of users on channels with the find/add dialog.
Since libicq2000 now does support visible and invisible lists, so does
centericq.
Now centericq can ask away messages when you change your IM status. This
behaviour is controlled with the respective option of the configuration
dialog.
Feature to change current IM status from the command line was added.
The auto-away/auto-N/A behaved weird on remotely connected sessions.
Fixed.
All the lists of contacts such as contact list, search results, multiple
recipients selection now highlight users from various networks with
appropriate colors and have the quick-find feature which is possible to
be activate with "/" or alt-s.
ICQ invisible status of contacts wasn't shown. Fixed.
The bug which made it impossible to send SMS-es to oneself from the
command line was fixed.
Applied the collapsable groups patch from Bertram Bourdrez
<bourdrez@casema.net>. So now a contact list group can be collapsed or
expanded by pressing Enter on its header.
Now it's possible to move groups up and down the contact list with the
group manager dialog.
It's also now possible to send messages to found users from the find
results list without adding them to the contact list.
The crash with the "Broken pipe" message which happened after network
interface's going down was fixed.
The existing but not documented before -b parameter was finally
documented both in README and in the man page. It allows to specify
another base directory for the IM details and makes it possible to use
different identities under the same UNIX account.
4.7.2
=====
Chat messaging mode was implemented. Along with the text being typed you
can see history of previous messages without invoking the history
facility. It's possible to turn it on with the configuration dialog.
Fixed a bug resulted in eating up disk space when it's not possible to
re-send events for quite a long time (several days, let's say). It kept
on adding newline characters after each attempt.
E-mail and name substring search options were added to the irc find
mode.
The "Move to group.." item was removed from the context menu of a user
which is not in list. Only "Add to list" can be used there.
Away messages didn't get recoded from koi8 to win1251, fixed.
Switching IM status to offline (_) from the command line was broken.
Fixed.
4.7.5
=====
Birthday reminders are now sent to the contact list as system messages
from users.
An ability to store and load sets of search information under profiles
was added to the "Find/add" dialog.
IRC search only by e-mail without channel specification was added.
A segfault was fixed in the MSN part. It happened when a hotmail box was
cleared entirely through their web interface.
4.7.7
=====
Centericq now compiles well with the new 3.1 version of GCC compiler.
Fixed a bug resulted into incorrect recipient choosing after performing
mass history message forward from the chat mode.
The "Channel manager" dialog was extended so that it allowed to chat on
IRC channels. To add a channel to the list you have to set "Show on the
contact list" for it.
ICQ events sent to users with status "Occupied" or "DND" were lost.
Fixed. Missed the workaround in the libicq2000.
The cicqsync script now refuses to work with CVS version <= 1.10
Bugs in the Yahoo! engine were fixed. They resulted into adding contacts
with strange names to the list. Eventually the Yahoo! support in
centericq became unusable because of some minor changes in the contact
list transmission protocol part. It was a really stupid bug of the Yahoo
library the program uses, and I immediately fixed it.
In the IRC module there was a problem with not detecting the case of
inability to join a channel, and it also was silent when a user was
kicked. Fixed, so that now it's detected and reported to the contact
list.
4.7.8
=====
Now the source should compile well on Solaris OS. Thanks to Jochen
Kmietsch <jochen.kmietsch@tu-clausthal.de> for initial portings efforts
and to Lion Templin <lion@leonine.com> for providing an account on a
Solaris box.
Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the MSN e-mail notification
processing code of the respective module. Thanks to KF
<dotslash@snosoft.com> for finding and reporting it.
The cicqconv migration script now does also support micq. Thanks to
Artur Komarov <artur@emd.ru>
The centericq's own notification messages class used for such events as
birthday reminders, away messages and other stuff, was separated from
usual messages. That was done to avoid external handler's reacting on
such messages like they were received from one of your contacts.
The yahoo library used by the program was changed to the one of new
generation. It would not happen unless the yahoo guys would leave their
old protocol working. So one day centericq's yahoo support just became
outdated and unusable. Anyway, now it's back, up and running, with
several new features such as settable server address and port, and
conferencing support.
As usual, several cosmetic bugs were fixed.
4.8.0
=====
Finally people started sending patches. This version includes a patch
from Julien LEMOINE <julien@3rd.dyndns.org> that fixed several fribidi
and gcc 3.1 specific problems. Also Josh McIver <jmmc@flaglink.com> has
sent a patch that made centericq report when one of your Yahoo! contacts
starts or stops typing on his side.
Fixed a bug that led to segfalut when you pressed "r" on a group header.
Fixed a bug in Yahoo! that resulted into inability to remove contacts in
some situations. Just after they were deleted they rised from the dead
again. It doesn't happen anymore.
There was a problem with the chat mode, when a lot of people asked me
how to accept an authorizaiton request. Now it's easy, upon receiving it
will pop-up in a usual windowed mode.
The find/add dialog in the IRC mode was extended with a new option,
called "Joined since the last check only". It will show only users
joined since your last find/add request. It helps to view only those who
entered a channel recently.
The authorization request displaying dialog was extended with a new
"User info" button. It allows to view user's details before you accept a
request.
4.8.2
=====
Fixed the "r" key bug again. Shouldn't segfault anymore on pressing it
on a group header.
The ICQ part suffered a lot of changes that brought several major
improvements. This happened after yours sincerelly decided to contribute
a bunch of code to the libicq2000 project which can be found at
http://libicq2000.sf.net/. So, here we go with the new features of the
ICQ module.
Random chat feature support. Now it's possible to search for a random
chat partner in a specific group with the "Find/add dialog" as well as
to announce your own availability with the "Update user info" item under
the "irc" tab in the account manager dialog.
Finally, a long-awaited feature got implemented. Server-based contact
lists are now supported by centericq. By default, all the add and remove
operations on your contact list are reflected server-side. Also, as soon
as you login the contacts stored on the ICQ server get auto-added to
your local list. Though it's possible to disable this, by setting the
value of the "Store contact list server-side" in the "Update user info"
dialog for ICQ to "no". To synchronize your local contact list with the
remote one, i.e. to add the server-side missing items, use the
"Syncronize contact list" item in the account manager dialog.
Also, having a look at the newly implemented features of libicq2000, I
found something missed in centericq. So, since this version centericq is
able to perform keywords-based search, receive webpager events and
control the visibility of your current ICQ status on the web.
There were user interface related changes as well. Visible and invisible
contacts are highlighted in a special way on the contact list now. Read
the README file for more details.
When compiled with fribidi, it's now possible to disable displaying of
right-to-left text by switching off the appropriate item in the
configuration dialog.
The event sending general-purpose routine was improved so that remote
DoS/flood protection on the remove IM servers doesn't turn on because of
hudge mass-sendings. Now messages that overflow the limit get postponed
and sent in another 5 seconds.
The configuration changes, as well as users' details, group settings and
some other stuff is now saved immediately once it gets modified, and not
only on exit, like it was before. Thanks to Wolfram
Schlich <wolfram@schlich.org> for pointing this out.
Fixed a bug that caused Yahoo! users raise from the dead (re-appear on
the list) when a user attempted to delete a contact which had been added
in the same session, i.e. without logging off.
4.8.3
=====
Bug-fixes in the AIM part. These include the repaired feature to remove
contacts from the contact list as well as the connect procedure that got
broken on some boxes. Now the both things must work fine. So AIM support
works even on the Jeff Covey's box right now.
The command line parameter "--version" has been added.
The modifications in the previous version broke the command-line sending
SMS to oneself feature. During fixing this one, I thought about another
useful feature.. See below.
Now it's possible to send SMSes to any phone number from the command
line with the -n (--number) parameter. Also, if the ICQ login
information is specified, it's possible to send SMSes to contact of any
kind on your list through the ICQ network. This means that if a phone
number is entered for a Yahoo, MSN or infocard contact, you're now able
to send them an SMS with centericq.
The contact list synchronization feature was modified, so that now it
doesn't send authorization requests automatically. It appeared that the
ICQ server allows to store contacts server-side without it ;) Though
instead of requesting it automatically, it's now possible to request one
manually with the corresponding menu item that was added recently.
Several interface related issues noticed were fixed.
4.8.4
=====
Sending and receiving contacts feature was implemented.
The contacts selection box in visible/invisible list adding mode now
contains only items from the networks that support the feature. So far
it's only ICQ, though.
IRC NickServ authentification was implemented. The optional password
field was added which can be filled up if necessary.
Now, if the "Edit away message on status change" is enabled and all the
away messages are the same for all the protocols that support the
feature, it is displayed in the message edit box.
In the MSN the whole contact list is now read as soon as login is
performed. Friendly nicks are substituted.
Added two types of external actions that are executed before sending and
receiving events. It gives users a possibility to process messages
before they get to contactlist or history. Can be useful for on-fly
ecryption/decryption as well as for other aims.
The "Find/add users" dialog in the MSN mode was extended with one more
parameter that allows to browse users who have us on their contact
lists.
MSN contact-lists synchronization feature was added.
The "Prev" button was added to the event view dialog in the history
browsing mode, so that it's possible to navigate the history in both
directions.
4.8.5
=====
Fixed a bug that made all the yahoo, msn and irc contacts have female
gender.
A cosmetic bug was fixed. It used to appear on attempts to send SMSes.
Nickname shown on the list changed to UIN and then quickly back to the
nick.
IRC "version" requests now answers with the correct value of the version
of centericq being used.
IRC ping command was added. Possible to be invoked from the context (f2)
menu for any IRC contact who is online.
It's now possible to change MSN friendly nick from the "Account manager"
dialog.
For IRC channels there is now a possibility to join or leave them from
the f2 menu without a need to go to the "Channel manager" dialog.
Pressing "?" on a channel item shows the list of channel users.
File transfers in IRC were implemented.
A small change in the local mailbox check mechanism. New messages
announced now only if the mailbox grown, to avoid announcements when
some messages get deleted.
A patch to get rid of recently appeared problems with AIM was applied.
Thanks to MP <centericq@blackcore.net>. Yeah, I'm fond of the open
source development principle.
4.8.6
=====
Now all the "Not in list" buddies in Yahoo, AIM and MSN networks are
removed from the remote list where they get temporarely added in order
to not to appear next time on the persistent list.
Fixed the segfault problem in the Yahoo module. The crashes were caused
by the latest version of the official client on remote.
Fixed several nicknames-related bugs in the MSN module. Now friendly
nicknames with spaces are shown correctly, as well as it's possible to
set a nickname for yourself that contains spaces. Also the nicknames on
the list get updated as soon as a remote changes their nick.
The program now compiles and hopefully works well on the MacOS X/Darwin
platform.
4.8.7
=====
Several problems with Cyrillic characters were eliminated. It was
impossible to perform ICQ White Pages searches using Cyrillic letters.
Also when receiving messages with the letters used along with characters
unknown for the koi8-r codepage, it resulted into showing it in bare
cp1251. Also a guessing routine was written in order to be able to
receive Yahoo! messages written both in cp1251 and utf-8 (the recent
"improvement" by Yahoo).
A patch written by Andreas Winge <d98winge@dtek.chalmers.se> was
applied. The changes from it make it possible to join password-protected
channels on the IRC network.
"On fly" auto-reloading of configuration files was implemented, to
eliminate the need to restart the program every time the files are
changed. Centericq periodically checks them whether any modifications
took place. If so, they get re-read. The ones that get re-read now are:
sounds, colorscheme, actions and external.
The Yahoo! module was extended with the the feature to send and receive
files, view conference members and creating own conferences. Before it
was only possible to join to conferences being created by others. Also
it's now possible to fetch custom status messages in the network.
4.8.8
=====
Fixed a bug resulted into inability to read events received through the
e-mail gateway and the ICQ web pager.
The MSN contact list items' duplication problem was fixed.
Support for the 6th protocol - Jabber, was added. It's already possible
to send and receive messages, read away messages, maintain contact list
and register new nicks. I heard a lot about the standard, but then after
studying it a little, I didn't get disappointed, for it's really nicely
designed. So, centericq is now delivering the power of the free
communication standards to all the console freaks (like myself).
The build problem under the Redhat 8.0 distribution was fixed.
The "Not in list" contact list node is handled in a nicer way now. When
centericq is unable to read the status of a contact which is not
included into the permanent contact list, it just doesn't show it
eliminating cases when an offline contact is shown online just because
it's not on the list.
A long-awaited interface feature to open an event in the full-screen
mode was added. Check out the F9 key in the message view mode.
4.8.9
=====
Due to the effort of Barnaby Gray, our fellow libicq2000 author, who
eliminated the need for the libsigc++ in order to compile his library,
centericq now does neither. I.e. we can count minus one additional
requirement. Cheers.
The F9 and F2 keys that execute full-screenizing of an event and showing
its URLs respectively, now work in the chat mode too, acting with the
latest incoming event from the remote user.
Wrong Jabber IDs specification used to lead to segfaults. Fixed.
The "Find/add users" dialog was improved. In the searach by nick/UIN mode
now it's possible to send messages to users without adding them to the
permanent contact list.
A segfault was fixed which appeared on pressing F9 in user's details
view mode.
Jabber users directory search was implemented as well as the
invisibility along with the visible and invisible lists support.
The Jabber does now have support for the SSL connections with the
server.
Several interface related fixes were also made.
4.9.0
=====
The FAQ document was extended with some more entries.
The Jabber module was improved. Now it also supports registration on
various agents that have the feature, as well as fetching others' and
modifying your own vcard information. Groupchat was added, and nicknames
in roster get updated as soon as you change them on the centericq
contact list.
The UI approach to channels and conferences was changed dramatically.
There is no "IRC Channel manager" anymore. It was replaced with the
"Join channel/conference" dialog which is invoked from the F4/g-menu.
All other operations with channels are done from the contact list
directly, with the help of commands mentioned in the F2-menu when the
hostkey is pressed on the corresponding entry.
The MSN module migrated to the MSN library written by Meredydd Luff
<m_luff@wincoll.ac.uk>. It's way better than the previous one, it's more
stable and doesn't hang waiting for data to be received, supports typing
notifications and extended new mail notifications.
4.9.1
=====
Now the "Reject" button in the Jabber authorization request view window
works. It appeared that it wasn't enough just to ignore such a request,
because in this case it keeps on coming next time you log in.
In the "Configuration" dialog it's now possible to specify a port range
for peer-to-peer connections. Since only the ICQ module in the program
supports such kind of communications, obviously only its port listening
mechanism will be affected.
Jabber contact list synchronization was implemented. Let me remind you
here that in centericq synchronization means a process of reflecting the
local contact list remotely, e.g. if there are contacts that are on your
local list in centericq, but they're not stored server-side, they get
uploaded remotely as soon as you run the respective procedure.
MSN phone information fetching was implemented.
Another discovered feature of the ICQ network was that if a remote user
is not online currently, then a message for him which gets stored
server-side is cut to 450 bytes. Centericq now has a workaround for such
a situation: it splits offline messages into pieces 450 bytes each.
The password change option was implemented in ICQ and AIM modules. Look
at the "Update details" dialogs.
MSN kept on repeating "you were added" messages. Fixed.
Users on the ignore list should have been ignored even if they sent add
notifications or authorization requests, but they were not. Now they are.
Jabber registration caused segfault if there was a space in the "Login"
field. Now, the "wrong jabber id" problem is reported in such a
situation.
When you had your own Jabber contact on centericq contact list, it
wasn't possible to update details. Fixed.
Adding and reading information about server-side contacts when they're
read as a bunch of the first connect with centericq is now done slower,
with necessary timeouts and stuff. Because of this workaround the server
is supposed not to kick us out because of flood anymore.
4.9.2
=====
A problem resulted into ignoring bold attributes on the colorscheme file
auto-re-reading was fixed.
The SENDER_NICK environment variable for scripts executed on events
related to MSN contacts had been set incorrectly. Fixed.
Several small patches from Julien LEMOINE <speedblue@debian.org>, a
Debian developer, were applied.
Now the centericq build procedure can automatically find and use the
alternative SSL library, called GnuTLS. Old versions of OpenSSL called
SSLeay will work with centericq now too.
User info "manual" external actions were implemented, so that now it's
possible to define various operations to be performed with users on your
contact list. You can bind the host(1) command for ICQ contacts to
comfortably lookup their domain names, for instance. More info in the
README chapter 9.3.6.
The external actions definitions file format was extended with the
new "nowait" option which makes centericq not to wait the action
code to finish.
Since external actions can also process outgoing messages (%pre-send),
the environment variables for scripts were renamed from SENDER_* to
CONTACT_*.
The Jabber module was modified so that now it treats correctly all the
data encoded in UTF-8, including nicknames in roster, user information,
and so on.
The centericq configuration now gets saved on receiving the SIGTERM
signal. Useful if you don't wanna lose your recent settings on reboot.
Shells others than /bin/sh didn't work in external actions. Fixed.
In the adding to visible/invisible list selection box contacts that are
already on the list are not shown anymore.

have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
Summary of changes from 0.11.4.13 to 0.11.5 [2002-12-10]
============================================
[pkg fea] New Spanish README.es.
[UI fea] AUTOCRYPT, naim will automatically encrypt messages sent to other naim users.
[UI fea] /save will now store [practically] *all* configuration settings.
[UI fea] Newer, more transparent client to client protocol.
[UI fea] Ability to control what types of events cause a window to become yellow, via the $chatter variable:
# Private messages: +1
# You kicked, oped, or deoped in a chat: +2
# Anyone else kicked or deoped in a chat: +4
# Public messages to a chat: +8
# Topic changes, or anyone oped in a chat: +16
# Anyone joining, parting, changing nicknames, or quitting altogether: +32

[UI fea] Links now appear somewhat cleaner, and redundant links, such as ``<a href="http://something/">http://something/</a>'' do not appear as links (to de-WinAIM messages).
[pkg bug] Many autoconf-related cleanups.
[Lil fea] Minor Lily enhancements to address grossly cross-posted messages.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.1 to 0.11.5.2-2003-01-01-2004

[UI FEA] Time zone information is exchanged during autopeer negotiation.
[UI fea] Small fixes in the original HTML parser, new HTML parser included (but not yet used).
[UI fea] The time stamps prepended to messages are now based on the format specified in $timeformat, rather than a hardcoded "[%H:%M:%S] ".
[pkg bug] The new user course has been temporarily removed until it can be completed.
[UI FEA] The window list window now uses ASCII line drawing symbols to promote state.
[UI fea] Primitive menuing added in (accessed with Escape). Incomplete.
[UI bug] Apparently /alias actually works; added autohelp message for it.
[UI fea] Buddy Tab completion will match real names as well as screen names (so "/j<Tab>dani<Tab>" will expand to "/jump RPIDan ", since my real name is set to "Daniel Reed").
[UI BUG] High ASCII input will no longer cause the input handler to reset itself; it is simply ignored now.
[UI bug] Home and End will work to switch buddy windows even inside the status window (F1).
[UI fea] If you are in paste mode, the status bar will identify that fact, and tell you how to get out of it.

[UI fea] $awaylog has been expanded: A value of 1 logs only private messages received, while a value greater than 1 logs private messages sent and chat messages.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.2-2003-01-07-0336 to 0.11.5.2-2003-01-07-0515

============================================
[Lil fea] The RPI Lily community dislikes naim's UI, and fears its proliferation will be the downfall of Lily. In any event, naim now combines multiple /join's. Emote discussions are now treated properly (messages are prepended with ", emotes are not prepended with /me).
[UI bug] -01-04-2111 lied. /quit and /disconnect *really* work correctly now.

Changes from 0.9.11 to 0.9.12
=============================
* Added macros SILC_SWAB_[16|32] to swab byte order of
16-bit and 32-bit unsigned integers.

handling ports since the ports in structures are always
in little-endian order (regardless of platform).
* Send DISCONNECT in close admin command in server.
* Check whether we are already connecting to a remote router
(in addition of checking whether we are already connected)
before creating new connection.
* Check that socket is valid after QoS is applied to data.
* Make sure the socket connecetion is not closed to early
when closing connection in server. Also make sure the
connection is always closed after error in a protocol.
* Fixed server crash with double Primary block in config file.
* Fixed various memory leaks around the config file parser.
* Fixed a double free in INVITE command error handling in
server.

Bump PKGREVISION to 4.
Major changes since 1.8m:
+ shitlist is now checked upon nick change (requested by Toch)
! cut encrypted messages at 304 characters to avoid decryption problems
at the other end when IRC server cuts the message (reported by [2am])
+ all mass commands (MDOP, MOP etc) now support -A flag to operate on
all users (requested by ogre)
+ improved tabkey completion now cycles through channels as well,
/DCC GET nick<tab> cycles through the files offered by nick
/DCC SEND nick <tab> cycles through files on disk - if you use a
relative path it looks in your CDCC ULDIR or current dir if that
isn't set, also completes commands as in /M<tab> and /HELP M<tab>,
path in /LOAD and DCC CHAT nicks (coded by braneded, many thanks!)
+ SSL support: to enable it call configure with --with-ssl. to use it
SERVER -SSL HOST:PORT or WINDOW [-]SSL HOST:PORT or prefix server
hostname with a ! as in scrollz nick !server:port. SSL connections are
indicated with a ! in the server list (thanks to Sharky and Darkie for
permission to use their code from BitchX SSL port)
+ per channel logging, check help for commands CHANLOG, CHANLOGDIR,
CHANLOGPOST and CHANLOGPREFIX (requested by Ahnberg and his gang)
! ignore case of nickname in IGNORE nickname (reported by braneded)
+ mIRC compatible DCC resume, it has to be enabled in defs.h
(patch submitted by braneded)
~ merged ircii-20011210 changes (without ISO-2022-JP stuff and mIRC
color stuff - sorry but my screen.c is too different these days
from ircII and ircII won't allow for ANSI color codes, also removed
ircII's SET SHOW_STARS and SET STAR_PREFIX in favour of my, more
complete code, there is no support for %v (voice status) in status
bar as ScrollZ already uses %@ for that)
~ we now use HELP like ircII - all ScrollZ.help text was moved into
help directory which is now part of the distribution (thanks braneded)
plus I have also described all ScrollZ modifications such as
additional functions, status variables and all SETs (I really hope
someone is gonna take over the docs project as I simply don't have
time to do both the coding and the docs)
WARNING: SHELP is gone, use HELP from now on!
+ AWAYENCR to toggle encryption of ScrollZ.away on or off (the file is
encrypted using master password, a tool to decrypt such encrypted
files can be found in tools directory)
The full list of changes can be found in ChangeLog.ScrollZ.

2002-11-29 13:38 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* src/core/network.c: If bind() fails when connecting, don't fallback to
default address. Should make it easier to notice invalid settings or
figure out why it's not working..
2002-11-28 23:43 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* src/core/network.c: net_gethostbyaddr() was pretty much broken.
* Use standard modeline instead of its own one.
* Fix a bug that an error occurs on typing C-m if used with DDSKK.
* Garbage correct obsolete defsubst fragments.
version 0.59.8 (01/06/2003):
* Ripped out all gtk2 support (Thanks Nathan Walp).
* Fixed smiley related segfault (Thanks Robert McQueen)
* Yahoo! can connect again
version 0.59.7 (12/21/2002):
* Yahoo i18n fix (Thanks Ethan Blanton).
* Fixed a bug in escaping saved passwords (Thanks
Eric Timme)
* Fixed an overflow bug in perl script autoloading
(Thanks David Kaelbling)
* Some build fixes for those using stricter compilers,
notably MIPSpro (Thanks David Kaelbling)
* Fixed a bad argument to accept() calls (Thanks David
Kaelbling)
* Fixed crashbug on empty rvous requests (Thanks Brandon Scott (Xeon))
for being the first to point this out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This version does not include backwards support
for the old style SILC private key so if you
skipped 0.9.10 version you won't be able to run
this server without generating new key pair.
Changes from 0.9.10 to 0.9.11
=============================
* Workaround GCC bug which causes memory exhaustion when
compiling sha1 with optimizations on UltraSPARC. from openbsd
* Added some sanity checks in server for correctness of the
server configuration.
* More log printing during backup router protocol.
* Removed backwards support for old private key file format.
* Removed backwards support for not-so-strict decryption length
check, it's strict now.
* Fixed error handling of invalid client entry when calling
commands in server. Fixes a crash.
* Fixed double free in async host lookup code.
* On backup router handle now the SERVER_SIGNOFF from router
for local connected servers too, and close the connections.
Do not process them as normally signing off servers when they
really signoff by sending EOF fe, but always assume that
router sends the SERVER_SIGNOFF.
* Fixed socket unsetting when closing connections.
* Fixed close command to use the port correctly when closing
server connections.
* Check for NULL outbuf in silc_socket_write. It is possible
that it is NULL is some odd case.
* Do not call final protocol callback for backup router
resuming protocol when closing connection. It is closed
by timeout in case of error.
* Backup reconnect to router if backup resuming protocol failed.
* Fixed double free in SKE library error hadling when signature
error occurred.
* Fixed double free in invite list adding code when adding
invite strings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This version does not include backwards support
for the old style SILC private key so if you
skipped 0.9.10 version you won't be able to run
this client without generating new key pair.
Changes between 0.9.10 and 0.9.11
=================================
* workaround a bug in GCC which causes memory exhaustion when
compiling sha1 with optimizations on UltraSPARC. from openbsd
* Don't display "foo appears as foo\nYou're now known as foo"
messages.
* Do not print the nickname in SERVER_SIGNOFF if we do not
have it. Prevents asserts in Irssi core. It is possible we
don't have the nick if it was just being resolved when server
signoff.
* Prevent endless resolving of user informations in USERS
command by checking the command reply status correctly.
* Don't print signed messages when sending failed.
* Send adequate signal when founding a channel by joing it.
* Make GETKEY to update the client entrys fingerprint too.
* Fixed autonick crashbug in client library.
* Fix theme abstracts parsing.
* Fixed double free in SKE library error hadling when signature
error occurred.

Zephyr allows users to send messages to other users or to groups of
users. Users can view incoming Zephyr messages as windowgrams
(transient X windows) or as text on a terminal.
Xaric is a UNIX irc client similer to BitchX or ircII. I would impress you
with a list of features, but since it has no impressive features (and lacks
a few important ones) that probably is not a good idea. The whole reason for
Xaric was to remove all of the bogus, broken crap and silly features from
BitchX and have a nice colorful client.

Patch provided by Dawid Szymañski (the maintainer) in PR pkg/19251.
The private key file format has changed due to a bug in the
older code. When you run this server version it automatically
changes your private key file to the correct format.
The future versions of the SILC Server will not do that, so
do not skip this version or you will need to generate new key
pair after 0.9.11 is released.
Also backup router bugs was fixed which caused several
interesting decryption problems, so upgrading regardless
if you are runinng normal server, backup router or primary
router is strongly recommended.
Changes from 0.9.9.1 to 0.9.10
==============================
* Added the config directive PublicKeyDir for the client
block.
* Extended the SILC_SERVER_LOG_ERROR macro to all available
logging channels.
* Load only files with .pub suffix in PublicKeyDir.
* Fixed a typo in resuming code that fixed detach/resume
code in server.
* Fixed CMODE setting in server when founder mode was set.
* Fixed wrong invite and ban list handling in server command
reply.
* Fixed CUMODE founder authentication in server to not check
for client's public key since it's not supposed to do that.
* Fixed backup router bugs: When backup resumes router and
receives a CHANNEL_MESSAGE packet the backup must not act
as router since the packet header decryption would be
different. Also, when relaying packets to channel, do not
re-encrypt packets on backup that came from the primary
since the connection isn't really router-router connection.
There are fixes in crypto library, especially in the
private key file format which had bugs in the encryption
process. When you run the new client it will automatically
change your private keyfile format so that you don't have
to do anything to it manually. The next versions will not
have this feature so if you'll skip this version you won't
be able to run your client after new version of SILC Client
comes out later (without generating new key pair).
Channel private keys and private message keys were using MD5
hash function, which is actually wrong. The code was
supposed to use SHA1 which is the mandatory hash function in
SILC. This version changes this and for this reason you may
experience some problems using channel private keys and
private message keys together with older client versions.
Make sure you and your friends are running latest client
version to avoid problems. This is inconvenient, but was a
must fix.
Changes between 0.9.9.1 and 0.9.10
==================================
* Removed 1.0 protocol backwards compat code from client
library.
* Changed the channel private key and private message
key generation (with static keys) to use SHA1 instead
of MD5, as SHA1 is the mandatory hash function in SILC.
* Changed the private key file encryption to use SHA1
instead of MD5. Added support for the old generation
and added automatic change of the key (to be removed
later).
* Format CMODE +c and +h to display both the mode and
the argument.
* Added support for inviting and banning by public key.
* Added support to set and use specific public key in
CUMODE.
* Changed the private_message and channel_message client
operations to deliver the SilcMessagePayload to the
application too. Application can use it fe. to get
the signature from the message for verification.
* Added more reliable check for whether nickname did
change or not, or whether only Client ID changed in
NICK_CHANGE notify.
* Set realname and hostname in NICK_REC records.
* Display signature verification result in public and
private messages using theme abstracts.
See irssi/default.theme for examples of their usage.
* Verify signature payload for signed messages.
* Added ignore_message_signatures setting which can be
used to ignore signatures in messages.
* Fixed fingerprint/babbleprint showing in invite and
ban list command replys.
* Fixed founder key sending in CMODE command.
* Fixed bugs in Irssi's theme parsing.
ScrollZ is an advanced IRC client based on ircII client. It was

I2CB icbd -- the Improved ICB Server
------------------------------------
ICBD is an online chat system which allows a large number of users
to participate in realtime online discussions. Among the features
of the ICB chat system are:
* Simple, fast protocol and efficient polling-based implementation
minimize `lag' effects
* Persistent user database allows authentication of nicknames,
storage of various user information, and leaving messages for
users who are not logged on at the moment.
* Any user may create groups, and exercise control over those
groups, allowing for a wide range of discussion styles. This
control includes making groups public or private, visible or
invisible, and moderated or unmoderated
* The fabulous, famous '/brick' command lends true interactivity
to the chat experience :-)
ICB (International CB) is a teleconferencing system that allows Internet users
to participate in realtime online discussions. This package builds a client
program (called, strangely enough, "icb") that is used to access ICB.
i2cb was enhanced to support IPv6 etc.
defeating that purpose, use control c to pop up the colour picker
instead. I'm not sure exactly when the gaim people changed this
(somewhere between 0.59.1 and 0.59.3), but I think it's rather ill
advised.
Navi2ch is a viewer program dedicated to chatting in 2ch.net - the biggest,
most famous, influencial BBS in Japan.
Although this software is really well-written, It's worth noting that most
opinions/informations found in 2ch.net are next to senseless. Thus, Good
NetBSD users are really encouraged not to devote themselves to 2ch! :-)
Some of the changes:
o More small bugs quashed. New /clearall command.
o Small bugs quashed in buddy offline acknowledgement and
queued message forwarding.
o Speed-ups in the playback procedures.
o General clean-ups for cross-platform compiles.
o On Tuesday, October 1, AOL's TOC servers began
periodically sending packets with a previously unused
frame type. naim does not know how to decipher these
packets, but version 0.11.4 was released with code
changes to simply ignore unknown frame types.
- update maintainer email

0.59.3 (09/14/2002):
Rob: This really has been made a little early. Of course, we figured
that some of you may like to connect to Yahoo. Sorry about that
little blunder. I blame it on George.
Sean: That was just a silly mistake--there's no need to make George
feel bad! There's also some nice i18n fixes in there by Matt Wilson
from RedHat.
George: Why doesn't anybody love me?
0.59.2 (09/09/2002):
Rob: This time Sean couldn't be with us. I finally got my linux box
some what back in order. Life has been extremely hectic for both Sean
and myself lately, I think. Sean will have his cable connection soon
and my linux box should be completely happy again soon. Thanks to
everyone that kept the patches coming in and organized while we
were busy (chip, luke, robot, etc.)
headers in ${BUILDLINK_DIR}, simply create BUILDLINK_CPPFLAGS.<pkg>
variables whose values are appended to CPPFLAGS, which are automatically
passed to the configure and build processes.
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.<pkg> has little use in buildlink2 since packages are
now told that the software may be found where it really is installed, not
in ${BUILDLINK_DIR} as was the case with buildlink1. Eventually, these
variables will be declared unsupported by buildlink2.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
KYim is an instant messenger for Yahoo! networks. It supports basic
connection to the Yahoo! Networks system, and connection through HTTP
proxies, allowing you to:
* manage your buddy list (add/remove buddies)
* chat with your buddies by instant messages
* send messages to your buddies when they are off-line
* take part in conferences
* have information about your Yahoo! Mail (is there mail waiting?)
* receive incoming file transfers
KYim is the successor to KYahoo, which is no longer maintained.
buildlink->buildlink2
Main changes from 0.9.2 to 0.9.5
=================================
* Use the primary router as the origin of the locally connected server when
it is disconnecting from the backup router since that's where it really
is coming from. Now the clients from the disconnecting server are removed
correctly and "shadow" clients are not left to the backup router.
* If normal server is standalone and found existing but disabled channel, do
not re-create the channel since it creates duplicate same channels.
* Added anonymous client connections support to server. New "anonymous"
configuration option to ConnectionParams section added. If set to true,
the username and hostname information of the client will be scrambled and
anonymous user mode is set automatically to the user.
* In JOIN notify handling, mark that the cache entry of the client cannot be
expired. Can cause crashes on normal server (asserts client->channels).
* Added silcd configuration option Timestamp in the Logging section.
* Fixed fingerprint checking to check for entirely empty fingerprint instead
of two first bytes when determining if it is set.
* Remove server/router operator privileges in DETACH command, since it's
possible to resume to server where these privileges would not be allowed.
* Do not re-create channel keys and send them when removing clients in server
shutdown.
* Completed backup router support for standalone routers. Supports also
servers in the cell that do not use the backup at all. Server/router
operator now receives notify when network switches to backup router and
when it resumes the use of primary router.
* Added -D option to server. It can be used to give debug level. The levels
are from 0 - 99, and are predefined for smooth server debugging.
