Licq-core is a multi-threaded ICQ clone written mostly in C++. It
uses an extensive plugin system to manage many different functions.
The main gui is written using the Qt widget set. Licq is distributed
under GPL with some special QPL exceptions for Qt.
Several GUI plugins for console, Qt etc. are available as seperate
packages, licq-gui-console and licq-gui-qt.

Major feature additions:
/save now saves /alias'd commands.
New /filter command to manipulate internal filter tables.
New /namebuddy command. If you use /namebuddy, or attempt to
/addbuddy someone already in your list, naim will allow you
to modify their "real name".
Auto-messages (for /away) are only sent if you are actually idle, so
people using /away as a kind of "blurb" won't send
auto-responses. If you mark /away and actually leave,
auto-responses are sent immediately. If you send any IM's
after marking /away, you won't send auto-responses until you
are idle for at least 10 minutes.
Support for channel keys improved. /save will now record channel
keys in .naimrc, and will rejoin keyed channels properly.
New distinction between "permanent" buddies, those manually added
with /addbuddy or stored in your server profile, and
"auto-added" buddies, those added because they contacted you
while $autobuddy was set.
^ New $autoclose. If set, naim will /close and /delbuddy
non-permanent buddies $autoclose minutes after they sign
off. If their window has unread messages, autoclose will be
delayed until they have been read. If the buddy has queued
messages pending, autoclose is cancelled altogether.
New /names (/buddylist) behaviour to show much more relevant
information about your buddy list.
New /resize command to change the length of the scrollback buffers.
Major bug fixes:
--enable-detached was not fixed in 0.11.5.6. Fixed. For real this
time.
[TOC] /sync was broken in 0.11.5.6-2003-03-02-1423. FireTalk's TOC
quoting mechanism will now only strip space characters,
rather than all forms of whitespace.
On disconnect, your buddy list would be re-added by naim. This has
caused some problems during signon, and had the side-effect
of marking all non-permanent buddies as permanent. Fixed.
IRC Services is a system of services to be used with Internet Relay Chat
networks. Services provides for definitive nickname and channel ownership,
as well as the ability to send messages to offline users, and gives IRC
operators considerably more control over the network.

Gaim is a clone of AOL's Instant Messenger client. It features nearly all
of the functionality of the official AIM client while also being smaller
and faster. Gaim also has plugins that let you use ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, IRC,
Jabber, Napster, and Zephyr.
libicq2000 is an opensource C++ library being developed to support the
icq2000/2001 protocol. It is easy for developers to use as the backbone
for their clients' connection to the ICQ network - all the protocol work
is abstracted away in one nice object-orientated interface.

crashes for example during reconnect timeouts.
- Removed --session and --dummy options from Irssi SILC Client.
-d option is available only if --enable-debug was given.
kmess is a MSN Messenger client for the KDE3 desktop environment.
It supports advanced protocol features and resembles a lot the
original client appearance.

Makefiles simply need to use this value often, for better or for
worse.
(2) Create a new variable FIX_RPATH that lists variables that should
be cleansed of -R or -rpath values if ${_USE_RPATH} is "no". By
default, FIX_RPATH contains LIBS, X11_LDFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and
additional variables may be appended from package Makefiles.
o server's added by /server are no longer removed if they fail to connect.
o SEVERAL REMOTE HOLES FIXED in ctcp, status & other code
o fix ICB /msg to names starting with a /. you can now /msg \/oink to send

have to /msg \\oink.
o arithmetic "|" now works properly
o fix ICB /msg with a user the same name as the channel
o fix ICB group's and user's with comma's in them
o /notify and /timer always go to level crap now
o fix nickname response lossage
o fix $connect() hich was broken recently
o fix "irc -h" which was broken recently
o fix "dcc close raw" which was broken recently
Major bug fixes:
AOL's primary TOC server (toc-m01.blue.aol.com) went down at
approximately 2003-03-10T1420; this has temporarily been
replaced with toc.oscar.aol.com.
Discussion destructions were not properly being handled in Lily.
IM handling routines were not properly handling buddies with
alternate names set (the third argument to /addbuddy),
causing away messages to be misdirected.
Major feature additions:
New $autoreconnect. If set, whenever naim is disconnected from a
service, it will attempt to reconnect automatically. For
services that require a password, you may wish to /set
servicename:password "your password" in order to allow naim
to reconnect while unattended (for example, /set
AIM:password "my pass").
All users should upgrade to this version. There are no security
considerations, but users may be unable to sign on (or stay connected) to
the default TOC server used in the past.

============================================
[pkg bug] On systems with a dlopen() in libc (some FreeBSD), -rdynamic was not being included in the LDFLAGS, breaking /modload. Fixed.
[Lil bug] Lily does some strange things when you are /ignore'd by another user, which really confused FireTalk. Fixed.
[UI fea] Lag check is now to the tenth of a second.
[UI fea] /help now describes /-commands if given as an argument.
[UI fea] /ignore displays your ignore list if no arguments are given.
[UI fea] Profile now includes extended interface information.

============================================
[UI fea] History scrollback now leaves the cursor at the end of the line, without affecting partial matching.

============================================
[pkg fea] New --with-pkgdocdir to control the location documentation files are installed to (which is also where naim's /help command looks for them).
[pkg fea] New --enable-firetalk-lily-ctcpmagic, experimental.
[IRC bug] Adding a buddy caused an immediate signon notification, which caused confusing problems down the line. Fixed.
[Lil fea] Improved support for /REVIEW and /MEMO (without requiring --enable-debug). Try ``/alias review /m :raw /REVIEW $args1*'' and ``/alias memo /m :raw /MEMO $args1*''.
[UI fea] $im_prefix and $im_suffix are now documented and will be stored in .naimrc with /save.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-20-1216 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-25-1257
============================================
[pkg fea] --enable-firetalk-lily-ctcpmagic removed, now enabled by default.
[UI fea] ``/help topics'' expanded.
[IRC fea] Buddy tracking drastically rewritten. Small known bugs to be fixed at a later date.
[IRC fea] Server errors during sign-on are now passed along to the client.
[Lil fea] Handles nickname changes now.
[Lil bug] CTCP magic would be falsely enabled in some situations. Fixed.
[UI fea] Short informational blurb displayed in window list window when offline.
[UI fea] Window list window will be permanently displayed until the user signs on.
[UI bug] /closeall was broken at some point due to other code changes. Fixed.
[UI fea] Command completion now checks for /alias's first, then fixed commands.
[UI fea] Previously-typed text completion now informs the user how to enable it in the status bar.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-25-1257 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-28-1950
============================================
[MSN fea] Now able to sign on fully, but does not handle private messages properly. Use at your own risk.
[UI fea] File transfer status is a bit more verbosely reported now.
[UI bug] Blurbs and timezones were not cleared on signoff. Fixed.
[UI fea] Previously-typed text completion now kicks in after 5 characters (previously 20), but caches previous searches to minimize search impact.
[UI bug] When editting text in the input window, moving the cursor to the last character on a line caused screen artifacts. Fixed.
[UI fea] ~/.naimlog files will be flushed to disk at regular intervals (every $tprint minutes).
[UI bug] Automatic messages weren't being displayed the same way as user-typed messages (for example, $timeformat was being ignored). Fixed.
[UI bug] If a user supplied a text colour that matched your IM window's background colour, the text could disappear. Fixed, though note that for purposes of this logic, the CLEAR background colour is thought to correspond to the BLACK foreground colour, so those of you using xterm's with white backgrounds are still SOL.
[UI fea] As an experiment, I'm allowing high ASCII characters in IM's to be displayed to the screen raw. Let me know if this causes problems for any terminal types.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-28-1950 to 0.11.5.4-2003-01-30-1604
============================================
[IRC fea] Buddy tracking drastically rewritten [again]. Now uses FireTalk's internal state machine exclusively (and shaved off 400 lines from irc.c).
[UI fea] New colours for buddies with queued messages and specially tagged by the user. New background colour for the status bar.
[UI fea] /setcol now takes a third argument, which can be either BOLD or DULL, to force that attribute on text of that type.
[UI bug] When /delbuddy'ing a peer that had previously negotiated AUTOPEER, naim would mistakingly re-add them to your buddy list. Fixed.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-01-30-1604 to 0.11.5.4-2003-02-05-0107
============================================
[IRC bug] Kick messages mistakingly identified the target as the source (i.e., *** user has been kicked by user). Fixed.
[IRC fea] Code cleanups.
[IRC bug] ircd-ratbox (irc.servercentral.net on EFnet) does not collapse cmode +ov into @user in /names output (it displays @+user), which violates RFC. naim is now more tolerant of such noncompliance.
[IRC fea] Unknown server messages and numerics are now sent along to the user with a source of :RAW, originally they were simply ignored. This is mainly to motivate me to track down all standard commands and numerics that aren't properly handled.
[IRC fea] Users by default contain no flags, so they will not be identified as "AOLamer" in /whois.
[Lil bug] Usernames were not properly escaped (i.e. spaces converted to underscores) during renames. Fixed.
[Lil bug] /MEMO output contained duplicate identification messages interspersed with the actual output. Fixed.
[UI fea] New /tagbuddy command. When used to set a tag for a particular buddy, the buddy in question becomes distinct in your buddy list.
[UI fea] UI cleanups (all example commands are now green).
[UI fea] You no longer need to enter paste mode in order to paste multi-line messages, they will automatically be consolidated.
[UI fea] Auto-responses will only be sent at a maximum rate of once every other second, to thwart clone flood attacks.
[UI bug] Tab completion for filenames could cause extraneous whitespace to be added to the end of file paths, which confuse commands like /readprofile. Fixed.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-02-05-0107 to 0.11.5.4-2003-02-05-1851
============================================
[FT bug] Sending messages to :RAW weren't always being treated as a special event. Fixed.
[IRC fea] Server notices are now treated as a special case.
[IRC fea] A number of "meaningless" numeric responses are now properly ignored.
[IRC fea] Unrecognized messages are sent to a :RAW pseudo-chat.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-02-05-1851 to 0.11.5.4-2003-02-07-1416
============================================
[pkg fea] Removed stale irc_match.[ch].
[IRC fea] Added ircu's 396 numeric ("x is now your hidden host") to ignore list.
[IRC fea] Reformatted 352 numeric before passing along as unhandled.
[Lil fea] IRC-style "unhandled" notification introduced.
[UI fea] Tab is now magically caught during pastes, a la the Enter key.
[UI bug] Enter key catching sometimes caused inappropriate blank lines to be sent to the user. Fixed.
[UI fea] All random messages are now prefixed with the connection window they occur in. For example, CTCP's sent from EFnet will be marked as such, even if you are in AIM.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4-2003-02-07-1416 to 0.11.5.4 [2003-02-07]
============================================
[pkg fea] Minor documentation updates.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.4 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-11-1505
============================================
[IRC bug] ^O did not properly clear attributes. Fixed.
[IRC fea] Added 307 numeric ("x has identified for this nick") to ignore list.
[Lil fea] Unhandled messages now more useful.
[Lil bug] Change in naim behaviour broke Lily driver's ability to send :RAW commands. Fixed.
[UI FEA] ^R and ^Y scroll back and forward now, for OS 10 Terminal.app users who have no PgUp/PgDown.
[UI FEA] SIGHUP, SIGUSR1, and SIGUSR2 are now caught as pseudo-keys, handled by /bind.
[UI fea] /connect will attempt to catch when you specify a server instead of a nickname, and adjust its behaviour accordingly.
[UI FEA] Extended ASCII input now handled more gracefully.
[Lil bug] Previous feature breaks Lily support. Continuing bug, expecting fix soon at the server level.
[UI fea] All locally echoed messages will be echoed to the status window as well.
[UI fea] &#xxx; characters now handled properly.
[UI BUG] --enable-detach was broken in 0.11.5.4. Fixed.
[UI fea] Variables listed in /set are now left-justified.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-11-1505 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-14-2157
============================================
[UI FEA] The "AIM/TOC" protocol name has been renamed to "TOC", since it works for both AIM and ICQ. "AIM/TOC" will still be accepted so as not to break existing .naimrc's.
[mod fea] New "nstatus" module distributed with naim, as a simpler example module.
[pkg FEA] ``make install'' now installs symlinks for nirc, nicq, and nlily which all have different startup behaviours.
[UI fea] Tab completion for buddies now works more transparently when dealing with buddy realnames (as opposed to screen names).
[UI fea] Slight UI tweaks.
[pkg fea] The doc/*.txt files are now actually plain text.
[UI FEA] All /help topics have been moved back to being internal to naim (i.e., the doc/*.txt files are no longer used).
[UI fea] /names ON and /names OFF will now display online and offline buddies, respectively.
[UI BUG] naim would automatically /load ~/.${0}rc at start, but /save would always save to ~/.naimrc. /save now saves to ~/.${0}rc, which I consider to be fixed.
[UI FEA] When a buddy has a "realname" (the third argument to /addbuddy), that will be used in query windows instead of their screen name. This is primarily for ICQ, where it doesn't make much sense any other way.
[UI FEA] Built-in default naimrc now fits nicely into an 80x25 screen.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-14-2157 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0908
============================================
[pkg fea] Autoconf now displays the protocol drivers enabled at compile time.
[UI fea] /newconn now accepts "AIM", "AIM/TOC", "ICQ", and "ICQ/TOC" as synonyms for "TOC".
[UI fea] Autopaste will not engage when typing a command.
[UI fea] Variables with overlong descriptions in ``/help settings'' now have separate, left-justified lines.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0908 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0940
============================================
[Lil bug] /part'ing a non-existent discussion (such as :RAW) would cause an unidentified error to be sent to :RAW. Fixed.
Summary of changes from 0.11.5.5-2003-02-18-0940 to 0.11.5.5-2003-02-22-0034
============================================
[Lil bug] /create'ing an existing discussion (such as -ctcpmagic) would cause an unidentified error to be sent to :RAW. Fixed.
[UI fea] New $winlistheight, to set the percentage of the screen height to use for the window list window. Default of 75.
[UI fea] When redrawing windows (such as during start-up), naim now updates the status bar to keep you informed.
[UI fea] New $logtprint, 1 = log daily timestamps, 2 = log all timestamps. Default of 1.
[UI fea] When flushing log files (every $tprint minutes), naim now updates the status bar to keep you informed.
[pkg bug] Some of the generation scripts used "%i", while some awk's only accept "%d" for integers. Fixed.
[UI fea] All "special" status bar messages now use a different background/foreground pair for extra visibility.
List of changes since 2.10.04 is very large and code-oriented. The
authors seem to not maintain a user digestable list of changes.
See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes if you insist :)
Updated provided by Adrian Portelli in PR pkg/20531, with some changes
by me.
rebuild the documentation database at install/deinstall time. This means
that:
- PLIST's do not need to call scrollkeeper-{update,rebuilddb} directly;
this is done by a bsd.pkg.install.mk template.
- The share/omf directory is only removed by scrollkeeper, which is the
last package in the dependancy tree.
- PKGREVISION is bumped.
