+===================================+ || AmIRC -- The AmigaOS IRC Client || +===================================+ AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol. Features: o runs with both AmiTCP and as225/inet225 without additional support libraries. o builtin high speed DCC drivers for SEND and MOVE. Highly optimized with asynchronous file I/O and threaded network handling. Supports Drag&Drop sending of files. Supports the "mIRC for Windows" DCC RESUME extension. o tranparent implementation of DCC CHAT. All /MSGs are automatically routed via DCC CHAT if applicable, to save runtime and reduce IRC load. Option to automatically accept DCC CHAT connections. o ultra fast text output and scrolling. Supports Cut&Paste for the list text. Supports proportional fonts. o full support of the "Undernet" IRC extensions, both reply codes and additional IRC commands. o intuitive channel display with userlist and channel mode overview. Channel modes can easily be changed via gadgets. Configurable user action list to perform whatever action you like on users in channel by the press of a mousebutton. Ban list window. o supports QUERY windows for private chat. o supports "smart" banning. o versatile AREXX port including server message parsing ("event trapping") and commandline/script interaction. o easy command line aliasing. o builtin IdentD (automatically disabled if another IdentD is already installed). o supports nick notification, highliting, ignoring and kickban. o versatile event handling allows you to bind sound effects, auto-deiconify or rexx scripts to certain events. o server phonebook. o last nick history. Stores the nicknames of the last nicks you've send MSGs to, received MSGs from or addressed publically with "nick:". Reference can be used in all commands which require nick names, e.g. /MSG, /OP, /DEOP. Automatic nick expansion on public messages with ":". o TAB messaging to automatically cycle the list of last used nicknames with a /MSG prefix. o auto rejoin channel on KICK and auto reconnect server facility. o auto away after idle timeout. Auto unaway after sending public and/or private msgs. o auto update download. Check for and download new releases with a simple click. o URL grabber for interfacing with a WWW browser. This is the second real release of AmIRC. It has undergone thorough testing, although bugs surely have remained. If you find anything queer, send a bug report to the AmIRC mailing list, "AmIRC@lsd.wupper.de". Thanks! Known problems, their reasons and their cures: o You absolutely MUST install SetPatch 40.16 (or higher), otherwise you will stumble over the broken pool functions in 3.0/3.1 exec. o Lockup when using Magic Menu. Install NewObtainGIRPort to cure this. NewObtainGIRPort is available from aminet or from the AmIRC home page. In older readme's, I suggested using SafeGIRPort, but there were reports that this won't really help the problem. Sorry, I don't use Cycle2Menu or MagicMenu and never had any problems with this myself. o There are various problems when using AmIRC as an CLChat (ArcNet) client. These are all caused by bugs within CLChatIRCD and can't be fixed on AmIRC's side. o ALT-CURSOR-UP/DOWN doesn't work with MultiCX. MultiCX's "advanced Edithook" will eat Cursor-UP/Down-Inputevent on it's own so they can't be processed by AmIRC. Use a different edit hook. o ZFREQ causes AmIRC to fail upon start. ZFREQ seems to be unable to bear an application allocating a real huge number of ASL_Filerequest structures. Use a different file requester patch. o Neither HILITE, IGNORE nor URL-Grabber work on text written by yourself. This is due to internal reasons, I'm not sure if it is worth changing. ============================================================================ * Revision history: * ============================================================================ 1.1 --- - fixed a few typos in the builtin english text. - The SendBrowser.AMIRX interface didn't work because the path stuff was munged. - fixed nick changes to be properly tracked in the userhost database (fixes QKICK problems with nick floods) - RDArgs wasn't every freeed, causing a memory leakage if started from shell. - added support for DALNET extensions: Reply code 328 (Channel URL) and PART with additional parameter. - now accepts nick names up to 30 channels (for use on ArcNet and DALNET) - fixed parsing of the undernet extended 392 message (messed up RPL_TIME). - on cut operation, normal channel text nick's are now enclosed in angle brackets. - fixed cutting of channel text without prefixes. - fixed a few background setings of MUI objects. - "/?" now works different from "/help command"; /? only lists the command template, whereas /HELP will view the guide entry as usual. - notify is fixed to not flood with n^2-1 userhost requests upon detecting a bunch of nicks on startup. Also, USERHOST requests are now properly grouped by 5 for faster response and less load. - fixed pasting of multiline text into query windows. - the connect info window now pops up in deactivated state. - notify list will now be properly flushed when changing servers. - incoming private CTCP ACTIONs ("Describes") had the DCC/CTCP color instead of the private msg color. - ban list wasn't properly reread when the channel bound to a window or the server changed. - the userlist listview now has a popup menu with all the defined actions. - userlist sorting now has three options: sort alpha, add at bottom, add at top. - several small fixes, cleanups and optmizations. - CONNECT wasn't recognized as a tooltype. - specifying server, port, autojoin or password on startup will no longer mess up the formely selected server entry in the phonebook. - specifying a server on startup will now properly use the corresponding phonebook entry (if existant) as a template. - fixed bug in handling DCC RESUME reject messages (which caused an endless loop if used between two AmIRCs) - included fixed documentation, new installer, some new submissions and new gost-sounds. Also, fixed a silly bug in the form generation in RegisterAmIRC. 1.0 --- - "Connect Thread" didn't work with the unregistered Version. - the RESUME button now behaves like GET for DCC MOVE requests. - fixed a nasty bug in the text layout with control characters causing writes outside of the text gadget. - incoming DCC CHAT messages didn't trigger a PRIVMSG event. - BEEP on CTRL-G was disfunctional. - alias definitions are now checked before internal commands. Note that it is not possible to nest aliases. You can always access the non aliased command by prefixing the command name with a "!", i.e. "/!leave". This is usefull when calling commands from ARexx scripts. - several small fixes, cleanups and optmizations. - DCC sockets now use TCP_NODELAY. - fixed various bugs the registration utility. - the RIGHTBORDER setting will now cause window borders to be used for scrollers. 0.88beta -------- - userhost parsing for IRC ops failed due to the trailing "*". Caused trouble when /NOTIFYing IRC operators. - silly bug in DCC CHAT IPC caused a 1k memory leak for every dcc chat message received. - fixed the problem that AmIRC won't properly quit under certain circumstances with no open channel windows and closing the last open dialog window. - it is now possible to interface to any web browser by having a script called "SendBrowser.AmIRX" in the PROGDIR:Rexx drawer. AmIRC will call this script with the selected URL as a parameter. - several small fixes, cleanups and optmizations. 0.87beta -------- - list class now avoids "plane optimization" if AmIRC runs on a cybergfx chunky mode screen. - made the userlist scroller less jumpy. - fixed a few boolean config settings which weren't properly saved. - fixed screen refresh problems with mark selecting and scrolling. - during config save, "," inside the autojoin channel settings weren't properly escaped, causing the server list to be messed up. - AWAY state will now be visualized by rendering the nick underlined with FILLPEN. - it's now possible to measure the user-server round trip time by issuing the /PING command without parameters. - double clicking on an entry in the URL grabber window will now cause the entry to be copied to the clipboard. - /QUIT without parameters will now QUIT with the default quit message. - userhost matching now accepts "*" even when no wildstar patch is installed on the system. - 221 (own user modes response) message is now parsed correctly. - notify output does now output the USERHOST of the nick, too. - several small fixes, cleanups and optmizations. - added update documentation and installer script, and removed obsolete stuff from this readme ;) 0.86beta -------- - fixed several problems with listview refresh. - cut&paste marking is a bit less flashier now again. - function keys now allow for the same placeholders as user op buttons. - function key assignments ending with a "\n" now cause the input to be directly processed as if the user pressed ENTER manually. - alias definitions now work even if they start with a "/". - cutting of multiple line texts will now properly result in a merged line. - the private message log window got disabled completely. 0.85beta -------- - sounds and userlist settings weren't updated upon loading the config file. - fixed TAB messaging to properly cycle in both directions. - fixed several bugs regarding cut&paste marking. - reduced screen refresh during cut&paste. - CTRL-TAB now behaves like a single TAB did before, i.e. inserting /MSG currently_selected_nickname or only currently_selected_nickname into the textfield. - fixed several problems with the text list output. - fixed several builtin-catalog problems, mostly introduced by a badly checked "\003b"->"\002" search & replace run. - ignore check caused NULL accesses with server notices. - fixed a potential crash when disposing the ignore list. 0.84beta -------- - now requires at least MUI 3.1 to work. - replaced the main text list with a custom list object optimized for this particular purpose. This results in about 3 times faster scrolling and generally less CPU usage during text output. Also, the new list class is much more memory efficient and works better during relayout. Note that the speed isn't fully optimized yet. - the main text listview now supports mark/cut to clipboard. - fixed the desynch problems with the ARexx GETLINE command which could cause lines to be missed. Now, GETLINE will buffer the last 50 server lines internally and will use a special counter variable bound to your ARexx script to make sure you receive lines in order. - rewrote the internal prefs handling completely. Decreased AmIRC's memory usage by a few 100k's since now all prefs BOOPSI objects are created dynamically. - AmIRC now saves a textual configuration file for easy editing. - the auto prefs saving during exit can now be turned off with a menu option. - the prefs requesters now have "Use" and "Cancel" buttons. - event sounds are no more loaded twice or more if the same sounds are specified for different events. - fixed NOTIFY to no longer turn recognized nicks into upper case in the list. - TAB now works more like the ircII tab script; cycling through the list of nicks who last send messages to you. SHIFT-TAB cycles forward. - the "," nick destination will now also by set by incoming DCC CHAT messages. - "Connect Thread" didn't work when the executable path contained spaces (i.e. "Ram Disk:" ;) - real long channel names are now cutted before displayed in the channel window and window menu. - the DCC messages generated by DCC sub threads didn't use the color setup for DCC messages. 0.83beta -------- [internal only] 0.82beta -------- - changed kickban window layout to fit on medres screens - fixed a nasty internal bug which caused innocent memory to be overwritten during preference save. Could cause nifty side effects under certain circumstances. - changed yet another bug in the prefs window setup which caused a bad crash when /IGNORE, /HILITE or /ALIAS were used after the list window was opened once. - reduced overall stack usage and default stack size to 24k. - changed several string buffers to fit into boopsi's stringclass shared buffer. - several attempts to reduce overall memory usage, esspecially using new MUI 3.2 features. 0.81beta -------- - startup failure caused a FreeSignal(0) to happen. - added new OP/VOICE icons which should look better on a 4 color screen. - several GUI fixes. - reduced signal bit usage to avoid trouble with certain inet225 versions. - added NORESETHANDLER Tooltype/Shell switch. - finally changed DCC host ip lookup to use getsockname() on the server socket; this should fix ALL kind of ENV:HOSTNAMEish trouble. TIA users still must set TIADCC or change to a real IP provider :) - fixed a severe bug in the DCC CHAT IPC system which caused a non-protected access to a pool from several processes, possibly resulting in a nifty crash. - fixed a few potential crashes when moving objects while dynamically creating prefs windows. - event rexx script parameter extension caused a nice crash with very long messages. - changed behavior of the "DCC Receive Dir" field. From now on, changes in this path will also affect already queued DCC receive requests which haven't be renamed to a different filename and path before. This is the "intuitive" behavior. - added "borderright" tooltype/shell option to have the window size border moved to the right. This should really be an MUI prefs option. 0.80beta -------- - Wallops-Display will now display the source of the Wallops message - fixed a crash when selecting "Sound?" in events menu. - added fixed catalog translations. - the default initialisation of the server list was messed up and caused both enforcer hits and junk in the password entries. - sound volume settings get messed up, causing sounds to be played with volume 0 until the sound options window was opened once. 0.79beta -------- - severe bug in the as225 part of the tcp code caused a AmiTCP LVO to be called on SockBase, resulting in messed up results up to mere crashes. - prefs setup modification caused the sound dt support to not work properly. - prefs setup modification caused /LOG to crash immediately. - did various GUI fixes. 0.78beta -------- - added GETUSERS command which returns a string of all users on a channel of the form "nick1 nick2 nick3"... - %p replacement within EVENT ARexx calls didn't work at all. - some internal & GUI cleanup. - changed DCC port allocation scheme to avoid "reusing" active but delayed DCC requests with different users and to avoid "No socket" errors with MLink. - workaround a few MLink close() bugs in DCC send. - now accepts 422 response as End-Of-MOTD. Fixes problems with IRC servers which started up with "Error MOTD file is missing", causing login, autojoin etc.pp. handling to not work. - topics weren't properly cleared when hopping servers or channels. - rename of DCC-CHAT connections upon NICK didn't work properly. - "Connect Thread" didn't work when no autojoin was specified for the selected server (new instance failed immediately with argument parse error) - private messages output caused %-format-codes to be interpreted instead of being ignored. - "/MSG ," addressed the last PRIVMSG source even if it was a PRIVMSG of an ignored user. - now all ALT-SPACE inside input strings are replaced by simple spaces, to avoid trouble with IRC server parsing. - reduced overall memory usage by making several of the prefs windows dynamic. - added Language Tooltype/Shell-Option to manually select a language catalog, overriding locale prefs. - fixed several GUI quirks. 0.77beta -------- - fixed a potential WaitForEver() problem in DCC Receive threads. - changed user mode parsing to better suit localisation. - event rexx scripts can now take an optional parameter %p which will be replaced with the unparsed server line which caused the event to happen. - added "PARSELINE" ARexx command which will split it's argument line into LINE.PREFIX, LINE.DEST, LINE.REST and LINE.COMMAND just like GETLINE does. - ARexx-Cmd "ISCONNECTED" didn't work at all, but returned 0 always. - added GETAWAYSTATE Arexx command. - fixed HILITE not working properly if the matching word was at the end of a line. - abuse of MUI's label objects caused several dynamic texts to react oddly to "_" within them (most notable the kickban win title). 0.76beta -------- - some tangling Printf() debug statement in the DCC Receive handler caused enforcer hits and severe crashes when several DCC Receive threads were active. - added GETCHANNEL, GETSELECTEDUSER, GETUSER and GETUSERSTATE ARexx commands. All take an optional WINNUM argument, GETUSER and GETUSERSTATE require an user index. GETUSER returns the name of the indexed user of the current window, GETUSERSTATE returns RC=1 if the user is OP, RC=2 if he has voice. - added GETVERSION ARexx command to check AmIRC's version. - added GETLASTLINE, GETLINECOUNT and GETLINE arexx commands. GETLINE will wait(!) for a new line from the server to arrive and return this line into the "LINE" variable. It will also return the parsed line components into LINE.PREFIX (userhost), LINE.COMMAND (either numerical or alpha command), LINE.DEST and LINE.REST. The meaning of the components depends on the specific message. - added new /RXRETURN user command. This is merely to support scripts and ought to be used with /ALIAS. It will return it's first and following parameters with the current GETLINE command in LINE.COMMAND and LINE.REST respectivly. - fixed several mode changes command templates which were messed up. - removed auto turn off of input filtering in string gadgets again. Will now internally accept CTRL-V, CTRL-U (!), CTRL-B, CTRL-G and CTRL-W for entering formatting codes into strings, regardless of the IControl input filtering settings. - lines which contained only control codes messed up the word wrap engine. - fixed a stupid bug in notify which caused ISON request to be not send properly under certain circumstances. 0.75beta -------- - /LIST with a single channel as an argument will no longer cause a complete list to be requested. - fixed "repeat-on-cr-pressed" bug in the string gadgets. - added parsing of 271/272 response codes (Undernet SILENCE list). - windows are properly closed upon close request; no longer waits for the PART message from the IRC server. - vbar rendering in the main listview will now completely be done by MUI for efficency and exact positioning. - added netsplit detection. - string gadget has now turned off input filtering by default. - string gadget accepts up to 1024 chars and splits accordingly 0.74alpha --------- - some MUI3 dependancy slipped in the window creation function. 0.73alpha --------- - pressing TAB returned garbage if no user was referenced in the user listview. - the first window didn't properly show the nickname. - load and save config with file requester failed badly due to misinitalized screen variable. - added RAW, ECHO and CHANNELS arexx commands. - fixed several bugs with cycle chains and keyboard control of gadgets. - raised stack size for DCC CHAT threads. Should fix all kinds of crashes, esspecially with as225/inet. - sound loading was severly messed up and caused about EVENTS^2 datatypes load to happen. - fixed WHO layout a bit. - extended the /LIST command to properly work in "shell mode" with pattern and -MIN arguments. 0.72alpha --------- - switched back to using "GetHostId()" if ENV:HOSTNAME doesn't exist or is invalid. Should fix all kind of DCC trouble with MLink. Make sure that ENV:HOSTNAME is either correct or not existant if you use MLink. - fixed a few typos and IRC response parsing problems. - Topics longer than 127 characters caused a real bad crash. - reduced memory usage a bit. - %p in alias expansion with missing arguments caused garbage to be inserted. - fixed some bugs in the listview setup. - added basic log capability (no filtering yet, only RAW output). - URL grabber messed up news: URLs - seperate user list windows can now be configured to start up opened or closed. - will now properly rename query windows and dcc chat sessions upon receiving of a NICK change message. - misc. fixes. 0.71alpha --------- - something in the optimizer seems to have broken as225r2 compatibility. Now compiled without optimizer again. Subject for further investigation. - didn't work with MUI 2.x due to use of popscreen.mui. Will now display a simple string gadget then. 0.70alpha --------- - changed internal string table layout; internal string access is now much faster, even when strings are taken from a catalog file. - /DCC LIST now works. - /WALLOPS was broken. - Query windows can now be opened on a different public screen. - DCC requests are now also accepted when sent with a "NOTICE" to accomodate for certain buggy DCC implementations. - In non-alphasort mode userlist entries were added to the top, not to the bottom of the list. - fixed icon creation to not copy x/y positions of the default icon when saving preferences. - "Connect Thread" does now work, starting a second instance of AmIRC connecting to the selected server. - passing shell commands now works (except StartRX). - added CTCP CLIENTINFO reply. - added /LIST command. It currently only opens the list window. Implementation will change later on. - now accepts "*" as a substitute for "current channel", as with ",.:" - the local host's IP number is now always detected by using gethostbyname( ENV:HOSTNAME ), since gethostid() was totally messed up with multiple interface setups. Should fix all kinds of DCC initation trouble. - now allows different text colors for certain kinds of text. Currently limited to MUI drawing pens, which is a limitation of MUI's text class. - /ALIAS command now accepts alias names starting with "/". Should avoid some confusion on why "ALIAS /blah ..." didn't do what it was expected to do :) - split preferences window. - Action buttons and Event setups are now horizontally scrollable Virtgroups to better fit on vertically small screens. - maximum number of user action buttons raised to 24 due to popular demand :) Note that this will invalidate old button settings (sorry, this is due a braindamaged ExportID selection in older versions) - the input processor now accepts LF characters in the string gadget and automatically splits the lines. Useful when pasting multiple line clips. - added highlite option. Allows to highlite channel text from certain nicks or userhosts or keywords. Added new event for highlite (/HIGHLITE and /UNHIGHLITE commands) - added IGNORE support (/IGNORE and /UNIGNORE commands). - implemented the Undernet "SILENCE" command. - DCC MOVE and RESUME are now functional again. - severe bug in tcp.lib memory allocation could cause all kind of trouble with sockets being used by subthreads. Noticably terminating AmIRC with pending DCC tasks caused a guru in most cases. - fixed the string input hook to no longer swallow non-plain/shifted TAB events (which effectivly disabled MUI's Window-Select-Feature) - added alpha documentation by Larry 'Duran' Walton. Direct any comments about the documentation to him :) - compiled with optimizer turned on for a test. - fixed URL grabber stopping parsing at an ~. - Fkey strings may now contain "\n" to allow for multi line commands. - When changing servers, will now correctly clear the channel names if autojoin channels are specified. 0.69alpha (quickfix) -------------------- - subitems for the window sub menu weren't no longer added, making closing windows crash badly. 0.68alpha --------- - CTCP PING didn't work. - holding down ENTER caused the same text to be continously send. - SHIFT-TAB will now insert "Nick: " into the input line. - CTRL-UP/DOWN and ALT-UP/DOWN inside a query window caused instant crash. - String class was, in cooperation with some MUI bug, loosing signal bits. This caused frame gadgets to not work any longer. - The bubble help of the userlist action buttons will now display the real command assigned to the button. - Userlist action buttons now work if no user is selected and no %u was specified. - /ME within dialog windows will now work just like /DESCRIBE. 0.67alpha --------- - DCC windows now use tiny fonts for the lists. - optimized TextFit() wasn't working correctly, cutting of characters depending on the font. - enforcer hits with commands which had a single channel name as a parameter ("/NAMES #Amigager" for example). - /RX will now find commands in PROGDIR:Rexx - Rexx-on-Event didn't work at all - added a few more sound samples by Robert Wilkens - the event manager now has "Test sound" buttons - Connect and Autodownload windows shouldn't cause trouble any more (recycled MUIMasterBase between tasks :) - the "is this mail or news" guess in the URL grabber always assumed mail 0.66alpha --------- - userlist action button rows which contain no labels will now be hidden - the first 10 window selector menu items now have shortcuts from "0" to "9". Allows to easily switch channel windows with Amiga-0..9. - serious bug in DCC-SEND; neither RESUME-ACCEPT nor MOVE-RESUME did work since AmIRC didn't actually seeked to the requested file position. - added support for TIADCC (SetEnv TIADCC "tiahost port"). The variable format is compatible with Tau's DCC implementation. - fixed a few quirks in the string input class. - list class is now more compatible with fonts which have a "obscure" tf_XSize value. - sub processes weren't properly terminated during IPC if the main application was forcefully quit. - fixed drag & drop list sort for server and alias list (MUI3 only). - the button/info row in query windows can now be turned off to save visual space. - fixed activation state of the user list. If the current user PARTs or gets KICKed, selection will turn off completely. If the current user renames himself, the selection will follow accordingly. 0.65alpha quick fix :) ---------------------- - String input gadget was dead with MUI 2.3. - added a kludge to avoid MUI 3.0's MUIA_String_MaxLen-1-Bug within the nickname gadgets 0.64alpha --------- - fixed splitting and rejoining of lines in listview (spaces got inserted when a line couldn't be split on a word boundary) - main listview now properly preserves text style attributes upon line splits and relayouts - the ban popup list is now a "real" window which can be dragged and sized - line read buffer pointer wasn't reset when a server link was forcefully terminated. Caused nonsense to appear on next connect. - added support for "DCC RESUME", a method of resuming DCC SENDs originally implemented by the mIRC for Windoze IRC client. It's not recommended to use DCC RESUME between AmIRCs, use MOVE instead. - OP/VOICE now accept up to four nicks - BAN did work with a single nick only. - the command parser assumed that all strings beginning with "*" are channel names, effectivly rendering /BAN useless. - KICKBAN window now has four buttons to setup "standard" types of ban mask (full, userhost, dynamic hostname, dynamic ip) - CTRL-Cursor-Up/Down now allows to select the current user in the user list. - TAB will now enter "/MSG nick " if the input line is empty or just "nick" if there is already something entered in the line. - ALT-Cursor-Up/Down allows to scroll within the main output list. ALT-SHIFT allows to page accordingly. - fixed a few bugs in state managment of the main list class. Could cause enforcer hits when LCM_INSERT was used before MUIM_Show was called; this mainly occured with the new private message log which normally stays closed. - "Auto open Dialog Windows" was not functional at all. - Function key did only work when changed during the session, not after loading. - Rexx script gathering caused entries with "PROGDIR:" to be entered in the list, which didn't work, cause it would have referenced the Rexx master process' PROGDIR: if it would exist :) - several parts of parsing code failed with characters > 127, esspecially the notify option with "strange" nicks. - messages added to the private message log now have a time stamp. - finally got around adding Troy Davis to the thanks list in the about requester. 0.63alpha --------- - the vertical bar in the main listview was messed up. - added VBars on several of the other listviews (MUI3 only) - User list action buttons didn't used MUIA_Font_Tiny as intended. - "Save as" with no config name given could cause erraneous behavior and even crashes with some requester patches. - manually resetting AWAY via menu state didn't restart the auto away timeout. - failure to open "rexxsyslib.library" wasn't catched and could cause serious trouble later on. - fixed a severe bug in the ioctl() call in AS225 which was called with the AmiTCP code for FIONREAD. Caused DCC's to loop dead. - auto reconnect to server now limited to 10 retries. - now checks for duplicates before adding entries to the URL grab window. - nickname gadgets now accept all RFC-1459 allowed nickname characters and even "_" :) - added help bubbles for the channel mode buttons (MUI3 only) 0.62alpha --------- - Click-On-Notify still didn't work <blush> - fixed selectwait() call in the as225 tcp interface. DCCs are now properly cancelable :) - /RX did pass parameters, but only the first <blush again> - /NOTIFY did react on parts of nicknames (e.g. "/NOTIFY OLI" reacted on an "OLIVER" being on) - added URL grabber; incoming text is scanned for URLs and MessageIds, which are presented in a list window. Double clicking on a URL will send them to AMOSAIC.1 via Rexx - Rexx: Using "Say" with no open window caused terrible crash - added privmsg log window which stores all private msgs send to you - added a few Undernet servers to the default server list - added a few useful menu shortcuts 0.61alpha --------- - incoming/outging DCC chat requests will now no longer open the dcc chat list window. - startup errors (in particular wrong arguments passed on a shell startup) caused destructors to be inproperly called, resulting in dead locks. - WHOIS-ON-NOTIFY didn't work when the watched user was logged in (did send "WHOIS +USER"...) - made an attempt to fix the as225 code which seems to be crashing on DCC (sorry, can't check this for myself) - /RX didn't pass arguments. - will now no longer create an empty Rexx menu if no rexx scripts are found (AmIRC looks into PROGDIR:Rexx/ and Rexx: for files ending with *.AMIRX). It's nicer and avoids nasty crashes with certain buggy Menu hacks :) 0.60alpha --------- - channel list didn't worked at all. - double click on an entry in the notify list will now issue an /WHOIS nick command. 0.59alpha --------- - AWAY flag is cleared after connection to a server. - Autojoin channels are now bound to the server configs. This allows you to specify different channels for different servers. - state of the "Create Icons" menuitem is now saved correctly. - "Help" menuitem works. - Bug in the string class caused enforcer hits and made MUIKEYS not working correctly. - when the connection was lost during receive of the channel list, the channel listview stayed deactived. - empty CTCP ACTION requests are no longer displayed. 0.58alpha --------- - the light bulb's transparent color wasn't set correctly so the background got overwritten. - fixed a few MUI object background settings. - program and basename now thoroughly changed from MICROIRC to AMIRC. - light bulb is now a page group to avoid MUIA_Bitmap_Bitmap not being correctly settable. Should also fix a potential crash. - added FKey support. - String gadget is now constantly activated. - added "Invite" event. - default prefs storage location is now "PROGDIR:Default.MIRC" to avoid problems if AmIRC is started from another dir. - now deiconifies upon receiving SIGBREAKF_CTRL_F 0.57alpha --------- (skipped) 0.56alpha --------- - light bulb/mic icon refresh now fixed. - fixed QUERY windows to correctly parse IRC formating codes on output. 0.55alpha (saturday evening release, please don't wonder :-) ------------------------------------------------------------ - fixed missing CTCP ACTION parsing for private PRIVMSGs - added missing /DESCRIBE command. - OP/VOICE status is now displayed with a nice icon (thanks Morden). The implementation of the display sucks, it's gonna fixed in the next release. 0.54alpha --------- - fixed a bug in WALLOPS and ERROR parsing, not outputting anything but causing an enforcer hit instead. - userhost database sometimes caused calls to FreePool() with a mismatched size (len-1). Could screw up pool management severly. - now entering a server name no longer causes the list to be sorted, leaving input focus on an undesired entry. - added missing /BAN, /BANDEL and /BANLIST commands. 0.53alpha --------- - just bumped revision to avoid confusion with a "0.52alpha" floating around. 0.52alpha (not published) ------------------------- - seperated user list now finally works without crashing badly. - the seperated user list windows now have a close gadget, and the channel windows have a pop button to reopen it. - fixed sorting of user list. - changes of GUI settings now happen instantly. Note that MUI 2.x requires closing and reopening of windows for some operations. - kludged around the userlist refresh bug by manually forcing redraw on every JOIN/PART. - Auto-Rejoin-After-Kick now defaults to off due to popular demand. 0.51alpha (not published) ------------------------- - fixed incorrect parsing of 317 extend message (signon time) - fixed a few quirks in DCC SEND aborted output. 0.50alpha --------- - fixed a crash with certain MUI versions on SAVE. - DCC originating sometimes didn't work since GetHostId() reported "127.0.0.1" (localhost). Now falls back to reading ENV:HOSTNAME and doing gethostbyname() on this. - the user list may now be hidden totally or put to a seperate window. Note: This isn't implemented correctly now; i'll change it ASAP. - the user list sorting can now be turned off. 0.49alpha --------- - remote logging of AMIRC usage has been removed completely. 0.48alpha --------- - added event handling. Allows you to deiconify, beep or play a (datatypes) sound on certain events. - some internal stuff. - added processing of the "250" extension message. 0.47alpha --------- - fixed "DCC SEND/MOVE ABORTED" which was screwed in several places. 0.46alpha --------- - added RAW IRC output window. - Auto-Update-Get will now automatically extract AMIRC.ReadMe to T:, display it and offer to automatically unpack the gotten archive to RAM:
