# QWORD (double quoted words with double quotes) for alias arglists
# Finished off full ipv6 support for dcc.
# Current channel-ness is tracked by the channel and not the window.
It's now impossible for a channel to be a current channel unless
you're on the channel.
# /set new_server_lastlog_level default changed to "ALL,-DCC"

Closes pkg/13851.
Other new features (excerpt, full list at http://epicsol.org/?page=project):
SSL support, improved /queues, /lastlog -file (redirects lastlog output to
file), ~/.epicrc, /autoget, and lots of other stuff.
o no changelog supplied, but diff makes me believe the changes are minor bugfixes
and addition of function destroy_waiting_channels(), whatever it's used for
o rework PATCH_SITES and MASTER_SITES
o use the same IPv6 patch, but renamed for new version
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

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.
