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KYim is the successor to KYahoo, which is no longer maintained.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.
Patch submitted by Lubomir Sedlacik <salo@Xtrmntr.org> in PR 18278.
o /join group can now move an ICB group to a different window
o add ICB support for /join -force and /join -invite
o echoing bold / inverse / underline chars immediately after one
another now works properly in all cases
o DCC and IPv6 now works. ircII can DCC CHAT via IPv6 with irssi
o new /set dcchost to change the dcc source host. this changes what
the -H flag sets at start up
o IPv6 support split into pure-IPv6 and new socket API support, with
replacements for the latter being provided if they do not exist.
PLEASE NOTE: this may cause ./configure or build failures due to
gethostbyname(), getaddrinfo(), getnameinfo(), freeaddrinfo(),
inet_pton() or inet_ntop() lossage. please report via ircbug
o /dcc talk, /dcc summon, and /dcc tmsg are no longer supported
o /on ctcp_reply, /on notice, /on encrypted_notice and /on flood all
now provide the target of the /on as $1. PLEASE NOTE: this will
affect old scripts. use if (V > 20020902) to check for the new
behaviour
o nearly all reported bugs fixed
o /xecho -level should now work for channel traffic as wel. PLEASE
NOTE: this will probably cause some messages to go to a different
window now than they used to - possibly a bug! please report any
such changes that do not seem correct
o connections to multi-homed hosts not listening on all IP addresses
now works in all cases
o new /setenv & /unsetenv commands
o /log core dump fixes
o help file fixes
o new `fkeys' script to make it possible to bind function keys
o irc -t is now the default. use -T to get ti/te sequences
o long ICB messages are now always split up correctly
o various minor bug fixes
o 2.8script/newaway/default scripts "n.o" alias unified
buildlink->buildlink2
Main changes between 0.9.2 and 0.9.5.1
=======================================
* Do not set the locally resolved hostname for local client entry but take
what server sends. This way the real hostname is shown in WHOIS for
yourself.
* Fixed duplicate PKCS name registering to not allow it.
* Enabled SIM support on *BSD systems.
* Fixed buffer overflow and security problems (loosing bits in CFB
encryption) in SILC RNG.
* Fixed buffer overflow with CUMODE mode->mode character conversion.
* Fixed a crash in client libary in NICK_CHANGE notify when NICK_CHANGE
arrived for client entry we are resolving currently.
* Don't do SILC_STRING_LANGUAGE encoding if the outbuffer is NULL since it
seems that on some platforms NULL is allowed and on some it's not.
Fallback encoding is used instead.
* Fixed a bug in Irssi SILC client to close the connection properly when
disconnecting from server. Handle local errors correctly during resuming.
Update submitted by Lubomir Sedlacik <salo@xtrmntr.org> in PR 18277.
Closes pkg/13851.

SSL support, improved /queues, /lastlog -file (redirects lastlog output to
file), ~/.epicrc, /autoget, and lots of other stuff.
Curt Sampson. Relevant changes from version 0.59 include:
* Fixed a security bug in the manual browser setting (Thanks Robert McQueen)

* Fix for HTTP proxies (thanks, Ethan Blanton)
* Read proxy environment variables. (thanks, Christian Hammond)
* Use the pretty gaim.png for our menu entry.
The new iconv() support has been explicitly disabled for now until I can
get it right across both packages.
