- ** NOW SUPPORTS AMIGADOS 2 **
-
- Grapevine is an Amiga Internet Relay Chat client. The IRC
- is a worldwide network on which users can participate in realtime
- conversation. Grapevine is a means by which to communicate over
- this network using an attractive, easy to use graphic interface
- that befits the nature of the Amiga.
- Grapevine supports several methods of communication. You
- may use one of the TCP/IP stacks: Commodore's AS225r2 or the
- freely distributable AmiTCP.

- by means of a simple Unix network connection utility and a small
- terminal program to log in and connect to the server, and pass
- control to Grapevine.

- VERSION CHANGES / BUGS FIXED since V1.0 release
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1.182 - The op/voice status gadget is disabled for AmigaDOS 2, but I forgot
- to leave it enabled under V39.
-
- 1.180 - Should now be compatible with AmigaDOS Release 2. For the time
- being, custom screen support and the op/vocie status image in the
- lower left corner of channel windows have been disabled until
- compatibility problems can be fixed.
-
- DCC.Chat.AS225 is now included. Also, DCC.Send and DCC.Move are no
- longer in the DCC directory, but are included in another archive
- with their own install script.
-
- Fixed up inconsistencies in message placement in query mode.
- Described commands received by someone you are querying now go to
- that query window. If you are querying someone and do a /MSG or
- /DESCRIBE to them, that message will now be shown in that query
- window. Furthermore, all other /DESCRIBE messages sent are now
- echoed in the message window instead of the crap window.
-
- Added /SAY command to send a public message to the channel while in
- /QUERY mode.
-
- Gadget resizing is now much cleaner after you resize a channel
- window.
-
- GV now exits friendly-like if default fonts could not be loaded,
- thus avoiding a nasty crash. A requester is presented.
-
- Font size was sometimes messed up returning from the ASL font
- requester, especially if Mungwall was running. 57001 would be used.
-
- Messages to a channel will no longer be displayed between the time
- you /LEAVE a channel and the arrival of the "part" message from the
- server.
-
- If there was another nickname that was like yours but longer (e.g.,
- your nickname is "foo" and someone else's nickname is "foobar",
- then if the longer nick was channel operator or voiced, Grapevine
- would think you were op or voiced too.
-
- New commands: /SETMSGWINDOW and /SETCRAPWINDOW to set the msg/crap
- windows; /WINDOW to activate the specified project window number;
- /ISON to see if the specified users are online.
-
- Typing "/summon" with no arguments sent out a blank summon message
- anyway, which resulted in an Enforcer hit.
-
- Fixed a bunch of GUI layout quirks that happened if you changed the
- screen/gadget font to something other than the parent screen's font.
-
- 1.40 - Ping and Kick menu items were being disabled when you were not a
- channel operator instead of Kick and Ban.
-
- Added an Op/Deop menu item with command key "O" to the Channel menu.
-
- DCC redirection in serial mode was looping if your nickname was the
- same as your DCC redirection nickname.
-
- 1.38 - Fixed the port thing but broke the port for people without a settings
- file, which is what I was trying to fix when I broke it in the first
- place. :)
-
- 1.37 - Broke the port number setting recognition in the Network settings
- window in V1.33. It is now recognized again.
-
- Hitting return in the "Default nickname" field of the User settings
- window was not causing the next gadget to be activated.
-
- 1.36 - Ezy updated irclink to (hopefully) work with systems like NEXTSTEP
- and DYNIX that do not support termios.
-
- If socket setup fails, more useful information should now be
- displayed in the error requester.
-
- Added "Query" menu item to the Channel menu. If a user is selected,
- a query will be initiated with that user. If no user is selected
- and query is active for a user, then query will be disengaged.
-
- Messages from a person being queried were not going to the right
- window if it was different from the set message window.
-
- /CLEAR was resetting the buffer size to 64K, although it would not
- show up as such in the program settings window.
-
- 1.33 - Dumb mistake in 1.32 disallowed User and Network settings from being
- used.
-
- 1.32 - Channel mode windows were all using the same string, so if more
- than one was open they would all display the same title.
-
- The "Toggle Icon Window" menu item was moved to the "Reveal" submenu
- in the "Project" menu. Also, it now only opens the window or brings
- it to the front, and does not toggle its opened status.
-
- Contents of keyword and user limit string gadgets were not being
- copied when "Use" was selected, so it was necesary to hit return
- before new values were recognized.
-
- Added font settings window. Fonts can be defined for the screen
- (including gadget labels), the channel text display, the channel
- input gadget, and the channel namelist window.
-
- Fixed a problem with the /KILL command that rendered it useless.
-
- The style of the nickname field in the channel text display window
- was not that for sending a /MSG if QUERY mode was on.
-
- If the text gadget filter was turned on in the system IControl prefs
- inserting a style character would also overwrite the character under
- the cursor with a second style character.
-
- 1.1 - /QUERY command implemented for continuous messaging of a single
- user without using "/msg nickname".
-
- If socket.library was successfully opened but socket setup failed,
- selecting "Cancel" in the error requester caused a software failure.
-
- Fixed enforcer hits that happened when "Use" was selected in the
- User and Network settings.
-
- Included a new DCC.Send that is hopefully stable again. The one
- included in the first Grapevine release was very unreliable.
