--| X-Chat ChangeLog |--------------------------------------------
`----------------------'
To see more details of bugs, go to this URL:
http://sf.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100239&group_id=239&aid=NUMBER
Where "NUMBER" is the bug number.
This log DOES NOT apply to XChat for Windows.
There are always more changes than listed here, these are just the
highlights. The full CVS log is available at www.xchat.org/cvslog/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8.8 - dd/mm/yyyy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
* Fixed a bug that resulted in timer hooks being leaked because
"return REMOVE" from a timer callback was not unhooking like it was
supposed to
* Reverted the unintentional change to how the server argument of print()
and command() is interepreted when it is undef
* Add hook_fd to the 'hooks' export tag
* Fixed a leak in XS_Xchat_get_list(Vincent Pit)
* Change Xchat::register so that scripts calling it without a name or
version will still show up in the plugins and scripts window.
* Added calls to PERL_SYS_INIT3 and PERL_SYS_TERM which are required on
some platforms
* Added some additional guards to prevents bits of scripts from spilling
into each other
* Added "modes", "win_ptr" and "xchatdirfs" to the list of keys that are
returned by context_info()
* Changed the information displayed in the "Plugins & Scripts" for scripts
that do not call register() to show up as "" for the name and description
and "unknown" for the version
* /reloadall will now reload scripts in the same order they were loaded
* Make xchat_send_modes available as Xchat::send_modes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8.6 - 11/Jun/2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated translations (de, fi, fr, hu, lt, nb, ru, th, zh_CN).
- Fixed creation of ~/.xchat2/scrollback/ paths (xc284-scrollbmkdir.diff).
- Fixed a leak of file descriptors related to the scrollback feature
(resource leak) (xc284-fix-scrollbfdleak.diff).
- Stopped scrollback files growing too large by fixing the file-shrink code.
- Put a "Display scrollback from previous session" into the Setup GUI
(logging section) so people can turn this off without typing commands.
- Made /away work even when the reason setting is empty.
- Using /part on a channel that contains a quotation mark now works [1800855].
- Changed the default encoding to "IRC" (CP1252/Unicode Hybrid) for both Unix
and Windows.
- Fixed a possible Channel List crash if you searched many times while the
download was still going.
- Fixed alert balloons failing if the text contained "<" characters [1827629].
- The Drag&Drop files to userlist feature has been enabled again.
- Removed the /set tab_icons setting and made it automatic (see FAQ for more
info about icons).
- Fixed a bug in creating files (save channel list, rawlog etc) that would set
the wrong permissions.
- Added command line argument --command=COMMAND which can be used in
conjuction with --existing (E.K.L.). This sends any xchat command to an
existing (running) client.
- A private SSL key/certificate can now be loaded from ~/.xchat2/client.pem.
- The Alerts settings now accept wildcards, instead of partitial string match
[1807563].
- Changing away status during reconnect/disconnect will now remember it.
- You can now change your Away/Back status (all networks) in the tray menu.
- Favorite Channels / Auto-Join-List management:
* Network List window now has a "..." button to edit the auto-join-list in
a more friendly way.
* Channel(text area), Tree/Tab and Channel-List right-click menus now have a
"Add to Favorites" function.
* Previous limit of 300 bytes has been overcome. Now up to 2 KB worth of
channels/keys can be joined and it will be automatically split into
multiple lines, if necessary.
* Per-Channel settings now save to disk, including Logging and Scrollback
settings.
* /ChanOpt has been re-worked to be more like /Set.
- 'hostname:port' syntax is now accepted, if it's not an IPv6 address.
- The Userlist right-click menu now has icons and an option to add to friends
list. If you've edited this menu before you'll still get the old one. To get
the new one delete ~/.xchat2/popup.conf while XChat isn't running.
- ~/.xchat2/startup.txt is now loaded on launch (like /LOAD -e). Put any
commands you want executed at startup here.
- The lag-o-meter now has a full scale of 1.0 seconds.
- libnotify is now opened directly instead of using 'notify-send' to open
tray/balloon alerts.
- Added support for QuakeNet's /AUTH for nick password, when numeric 005
NETWORK=QuakeNet is detected.
- You can now copy with IRC attributes and mIRC colors if CTRL key is down
when a selection is finished (on mouse release). This replaces the old
"Color paste" feature.
- Added a 'compact' flag to gui_tweaks. This'll make the userlist and tree
spacing smaller. E.g. type /set -or gui_tweaks 32 and restart to turn it on.
- The /CLEAR command takes a number as paramater (how many lines to clear).
- When there's missing information in the Userlist right-click menu, it'll
issue a silent /WHOIS and fill it in. This includes retrieving a person's
away-reason.
- Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
* /reloadall will now reload all the scripts that are currently load instead
of simply reruning the autoload routine
* gtk/glib/gdk errors and warnings have been redirected back to stderr so
they will no longer show up in the text box as a result of having the Perl
plugin loaded
* Check if the user has perl 5.6 instead of 5.8 and give an warning dialog
if they do (Peter Zelezny)
* Changed timer callbacks so that they are executed in the context that they
were created in
* Modified Xchat::print and Xchat::command to accept array references in
addition to strings for the channel and server parameters
- Plugin API:
* xchat_emit_print() will now trigger Sound, Blink, Icon etc type events,
depending on user's settings.
* Fixed a bug where not all 32 elements were available in word[]/word_eol[].
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8.4 - 01/Jul/2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated translations (cs, de, ko, mk, sv, vi).
- System-Tray balloons now get the xchat icon instead of a generic one.
- Fixed the notify-send zombies (released as xc282-fixtrayzombies.diff).
- Fixed underscore ('_') in real names in the nick-name right-click menu being
drawn as a underline.
- ut2004:// URLs are now underlined too.
- /set gui_tray_flags 4 will now enable a "Minimize to tray" feature. Clicking
the window minimize button will minimize to tray instead of the task-bar.
- Fixed bug: [1680762] Notify fails if network name contains spaces.
- Extended tclConfig.sh search paths so it hopefully works on Ubuntu now.
- Added a feature that reloads conversations from last time you used XChat
(type /set text_replay 0 to disable it).
- Fixed /LASTLOG printing everything twice if you had Indented Nicks off.
- The CTRL-F keybinding (Find) is now disabled when using Emacs keys.
- Added /SET gui_tweaks. See http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?p=13766
- Fixed opening URLs on KDE that didn't begin with http:// or other protocol.
- A better quit dialog which warns you if you're connected to IRC or have
active file transfers.
- Fixed: [1741525] Cycle selected channel (Luca Falavigna).
- Fixed: [1737249] Doesn't recognize nicks with halfop mode on hovering.
- The userlist and treeview can now be placed on the same side, with a resize
handle in between them. They can also be dragged and dropped into place.
- When you hide the userlist using the View menu, the resize handle now
disappears too. It also disappears when you have a server tab in focus.
- If you have a tree on one side and userlist on the other, they'll both now
have a resize handle, previously the tree's size was fixed.
- The userlist can be hidden and shown with CTRL+F7.
