[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.

============================================
[Yah fea] Preliminary Yahoo! Messenger support begun.
[pkg fea] New --enable-firetalk-msn and --enable-firetalk-yahoo, both default to disabled. Once these protocol drivers are able to successfully sign on and send/receive IM's, they will always be built.

[UI FEA] New $autosave. If set (default currently off), naim will /save when the user /quit's.
[UI fea] New /winlist command. Allows the user to set the state of the window list window, a la F4. /save uses this command to restore your F4 state on start-up.
[UI FEA] People who are /ignore'd will be ignored in group chats as well. This is mainly so I can /ignore stupid bots in channels I frequent, but others have requested this in the past.
[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.

[UI fea] ~/.naimlog subdirectories will now be created mode 0700 instead of 0755, for privacy reasons.
[UI fea] /set completion now searches default values first, and provides descriptions if available.

============================================
[UI bug] Sending queued messages no longer resets your idle time.
[UI fea] Preliminary support for context-sensitive Tab completion, for example /set completes variables, /readprofile completes file names, /jump completes window names, /open completes buddy names, etc. Incomplete.
[UI fea] /bind and /set's list modes are much more thorough now, including descriptions for all current settings.
[UI FEA] /help system drastically revamped. Now reads from pkgdocdir/*.txt files, and uses current settings for the output of ``/help keys'' and ``/help variables''. ``/help commands'' now has accurate information.
[UI bug] </font> tag now resets bold status if <font> changed it.
[UI fea] All configuration variables are now fully documented.

============================================
[pkg fea] contrib/sendim.sh is now installed into bindir.

[Lil bug] Certain types of messages could cause an infinite loop in the de-HTMLizer. Fixed.
[Lil bug] Queued join structure wasn't being properly initialized in all situations. Fixed.
[UI bug] /set's list mode and the variable completion mechanisms confused each other, and could cause an infinite loop in some situations. Fixed.
[UI bug] ``/help commands'' incorrectly listed some required /-command arguments as optional. Fixed.
[UI bug] A mis-paste in /save kept string variables from being properly recorded. Fixed.
[UI fea] ``/dlsym dltest hello there'' added as an example for the /dlsym command.
[UI bug] Colons in non-command strings (most notably $conn:setting variables) confused Tab completion. Fixed.

============================================
[UI fea] Slight UI tweaks.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.2 to 0.11.5.3
============================================
[pkg bug] On systems that lacked dlopen(), src/conio.c would fail to compile due to a header file being incorrectly not included. Fixed.
[UI BUG] AUTOCRYPT key negotiation failed under some circumstances due to improperly terminated strings. Fixed.
[UI BUG] Command completion caused unpleasantness when arguments were given to argless commands (such as /quit). Fixed.
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.
distfile isn't available anymore.
Update to naim-0.11.1-2002-01-23-2329 (pkg version 0.11.1.20020123)
and put a copy of the distfile on ftp.netbsd.org.
=====
naim is a chat program for use with America Online's AOL Instant
Messenger. The name naim is derived from n's AIM client, but it could
also have been derived from ncurses AIM client because of naim's use of
the ncurses text-mode screen library.
naim is based on firetalk, the multiprotocol chat library. naim is
capable of connecting to IRC as well as AIM services.
