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.

pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.

large scrollback buffers (only noticable when doublebuffer off).

Action hilight (near top of the list). No more cardcoded color
codes! Also hilighting in actions works, and you can make the whole
message hilighted if you change the event text.
- Initial window size is actually set to your settings (this will
never be perfect I guess, sometimes to the window still resizes
itself without warning).
- Hidemenubar setting didn't work properly for non-tabs and when
delinking windows - fixed.
- Notices appear in front tab even when server tabs are enabled.
- Changed Away behaviour again. No more /back, /away with no args
brings you back. The menu-item's state is what the server tells
it, it even changes when you switch tabs to another server. Xchat
assumes you are not away when you first connect. irc::get_info(5)
returns the away state. One day the other UserModes menu items will
show correct states. Is everyone happy now?

are larger and option-menus are more consistant.

- Changed most of xtext.c to use gdk instead of Xlib.

--disable-xlib disable use of xlib (for non X11 systems)

BeOS and Win32 (havn't tried it though).

a filename of random reasons (filename relative to ~/.xchat/).

/quote MODE %c -b &2 instead.

more readable now.
