When you are upgrading from a prior release to SILC Client 1.0.1, there
are two issues you have to take special care of:
First of all the default theme (as defined in the file default.theme in
the source package) has changed. You may need to update your personal
theme to reflect those changes. The second change affects the filename
used to store the session data when /DETACH'ing. If you have detached
from a SILC network with your old client and want to resume the session
with SILC Client 1.0.1, you first have to
/SET session_filename session
After successfully resuming your session, you can revert the setting to
its default "session.$chatnet" again.
Changes:
--------
- /NOTICE and /ACTION command now both take a mandatory target argument
and an option -sign flag. Both work in channels and queries, /IGNORE
now correctly treats both. default.theme has changed, please update
your theme. Closes#1.
- /SILCNET [ADD|REMOVE|LIST] command to manage different SILC networks.
- /SMSG and /MMSG now correctly open new query windows if wished.
- New settings session_filename defines the filename used to store
session information generated by /DETACH. A setting like
session.$chatnet allows you to detach from different networks.
* New Yahoo! auth method
* Yahoo! file transfer (Tim Ringenbach)
* Yahoo! chat joining fixes (Tim Ringenbach)

Guidelines more closely (Steven Garrity, Nathan Fredrickson, and

Changes:
- Added public key based search support to WHOIS command. Users can be
searched by their public key now. To search users by public key using
SILC Client, do the following (see the /HELP WHOIS for revised help
information on searching by public key):
To search nickname 'nick' that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS nick -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
To search all usesr that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
- Removed RC6 cipher.
- Fixed the MOTD command to work properly. Motds can now be fetched from
remote servers.
- Fixed the INVITE string handling during joining to use correct server
name. Invite strings such as *@sauna.silcnet.org!*@*foobar.com now
works.
- Fixed the CUMODE for founder mode work correctly when there is already a
founder on channel. Normal server cannot anymore "replace" a founder
which is founder on router (even if authentication works). User on
router can "replace" founder that is on normal server assuming
authentication is successful.
- Fixed UMODE mode change bug when anonymous mode was already set. Now
modes can be changed normally.
- Minor fixes to backup router protocol. Some problems may still exist
and testing this feature is recommended.
- Improvements to router-to-router connections. Normal communication
should work. NOTE: This is experimental and you can expect problems
if you set up such network.
- Several other bugfixes.
dccserver is a standalone program aiming to provide the functions

application of Jabber technology is an asynchronous, extensible instant
