- bug fixes, including crashes and possible buffer overflows
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
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.
ScrollZ is an advanced IRC client based on ircII client. It was
developed on Linux, but can be compiled on variety of Unix platforms.
Major features:
* supports colors
* internal userlist and shitlist
* a lot of things are stored in memory, so we don't have to
contact server at all in some cases
* improved file exchange (based on Sheik's cdcc.c)
* improved cosmetics (based on TooLie Box by Zakath)
* improved flood protection
* adds channel protection
* comes with user-friendly options like tab key, auto reply and
URL catcher
* logs events important to you when you're away (customizable)
* adds OperVision (optional; coded by Zakath)
* supports virtual IP
* supports IPv6
