|| AmIRC -- The AmigaOS IRC Client ||
||                                 ||
||          Version 1.69           ||
||                                 ||
+===================================+

AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol.

Features:

o runs with Miami, AmiTCP and as225/inet225 without additional support libraries.

o builtin high speed DCC drivers for SEND, TSEND 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 supports secure encrypted DCC CHAT (SCHAT)

o supports drag&drop

o ultra fast text output and scrolling. Supports Cut&Paste for the list
  text. Supports proportional fonts.

o internal CTCP flood and DCC bomb protection

o supports the latest 2.9.x irc server extensions.

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 Nickname completion. Press TAB after a partial nickname to automagically
  match nicks in the current channel just like in your favorite CON:
  handler.

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 URL grabber for interfacing with a WWW browser.

This is the sixth public release of AmIRC.  It has undergone thorough
testing, although bugs surely have remained.  If you find anything queer,
send a bug report to <AmIRC-Bugs@vapor.com>.  Thanks!

Special thanks to all ATO members who provided translations for AmIRC.  See
http://ato.vapor.com/ato/ for more information on the Amiga Translators
Organization.  

The executable comes in two versions:  One, called "AmIRC", is compiled for
OS 2.x and 68000 CPUs, the other, "AmIRC020" is compiled for 68020 CPUs
(and up) and for OS 3.x systems.

AmIRC is *SHAREWARE*.  You can register it easily with the included
registration utility at 8 (!) sites around the world:  Germany, UK, France,
Sweden, USA, Canada, Australia and Poland.  You can register with your
Credit Card and email only (at the UK site), and you can register via First
Virtual Electronic Transaction (at the US site).  Online registration with
Credit Card or FV payment is also possible:  http://www.vapor.com/order/

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  Spurious crashes when having an ObtainGIRPort hack installed.
   This hacks break a few of the ROM internal BOOPSI gadget classes
   (notable the propgclass which is used by AmIRC for it's scroller)
   and MUST not be used. Older versions suggested to install 
   such a hack to avoid MagicMenu lockups; this was before
   the system hostility of the ObtainGIRPort hack was unveiled.

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.

============================================================================

[Changes before 1.0 have been removed from this file]

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.

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.

- 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.

  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)

  and new gost-sounds. Also, fixed a silly bug in the form generation
  in RegisterAmIRC.

- no auto reconnect on OPER KILL anymore
- AmIRC is now more picky on what server version it connects to
  and which modes are available (recognized so far as being
  "special" are "2.8.21+" and "2.9".
- now checks for already installed identd and automatically disables
  the internal identd and uses the system username in that case.
- 2.9-support: Displays and understands the 437 extension messages

  to MIAMI users, mostly.
- fixed a few duplicate shortcuts
- completely recompiled with SAS/C 6.57

1.11 (beta)
-----------
- properly strips path names from incoming DCC requests, too
  (might be an problem if you accidentally clicked "GET"

1.17 (internal)
---------------
- removed "Server" from default string for channel window titles.
- the "Connecting to..." window will now remain on screen
  until the connection process has successfully completed,
  unlike going away after the inititial connect() has been done.
  Much nicer when you get kicked from a server due to K: line,
  server overloads or other reasons AFTER connect().

1.18 (internal)
---------------
- fixed enforcer hits on certain unexpected malformed server
  responses
- fixed "Connecting to" abort quitting AmIRC when clicking "Cancel"
  while a connect()ion has already been established.

- no longer changes topic string gadget's contents while
  it's active
- fixed /LASTLOG crashes and deadlocks

  Option to "shanghai" server notices, wallops
  and incoming "basic" CTCP requests so they are
  only displayed inside this window.
- changed display of server notices and ERROR
  commands to have the server name in [brackets]
  for clarity.

1.20 (internal)
---------------
- list class used masked scrolling even on interlaced screens
- changed calling of custom_amirx.ctcp to:

   Custom_CTCP.AmIRX command fromnick destination arguments

- DisplayBeep() only events didn't work when a external sound
  player was configured
- fixed the ARexx ECHO command to no longer interpret
  _fmt codes (%s et all)
- fixed several of the ARexx command templates to
  actually require arguments and fail with a command
  parse error otherwise. Fixes enforcer orgy on "SAY", "RAW"
  etc. without args.

  /Connected.amirx when available on startup, shutdown
  and established connection accordingly.

- added /DCC CLOSE command
- fixed /DCC LIST state display
- now automatically uppercases the first word of outgoing
  CTCP requests

  with the "SEND|RECEIVE successcode nick filename" for
  any DCC post processing

1.22 (internal)
---------------
- added a "» Clipboard" button in the URL grabber window to
  send selected URL to the clipboard (in addition to
  double click)
- fixed a longstanding bug in the list class which caused
  the initial scroll down to not happen under a certain
  funky combination of lines and output length
- added "MATCHUERHOST" arexx commands, taking
  a userhost (or nick) and a pattern, returning 0
  for no match, 1 for match.

1.23 (internal)
---------------

---------------
- fixed problems with autojoining channels and "Connect thread"

1.26 (internal)
---------------
- DCC SEND requests with ports less than 1024 are
  now considered malformed (to protect against
  DCC bombs)
- now handles incoming DCC TSEND requests
  (DCC SEND without acknowledge packets). Note
  that AmIRC's "normal" DCC is already sending
  data at maximum speed without waiting for ACK
  packets, so there's no speed loss when
  DCCing between two AmIRCs with "plain" DCC,
  although remaining 100% compatible with 
  the ultra lame ircII or PC-Client DCC
  implementations). TSEND requests are marked
  with "T" in the DCC RECEIVE window.
- fixed scrolling problem (occured when a list
  had to be scrolled for the first time and
  multi line text was to be added)

1.27 (internal)
---------------
- List prefs window crashed if aliases >255 bytes were
  defined.

1.28 (internal)
---------------
- recompiled after removing unused catalog strings
- removed a lame debug Printf from DCC RESUME

1.29 (internal)
---------------
- the DCC bomb protection actually protected against
  file sizes < 1024 bytes, instead of ports < 1024. Weee.

1.30 (internal)
---------------
- incoming DCC CHAT messages are now returned to the
  PRIVMSG event and via GETLINE as the special faked
  message "nick!nick@dcchost DCCMSG yournick :text",
  to allow processing.
- added GETDCCRECEIVEDIR and GETCTCPSOUNDDIR
  functions. Guess what they do.

1.31 (beta)
-----------
- changed format of PING message. Now sends a 7 digit number.
  Reduces bandwidth waste and protects against clients which
  are picky on the format of PING requests they like to reply to.
- DCC bomb protection now added to DCC CHAT, too

1.32 (beta)
-----------
- fixed userhost database not updating to current userhost
  when not marked dirty beforehand

1.33 (beta)
-----------
- DCCMSG events had the "from host" in passive DCC CHAT
  connections, which was broken
- dcc windows opened active if opened a second time in
  a session
- CTCP ACTION and SOUND to the channel now trigger
  CTCP event
- if "HandleFlood.amirx" is there, it will be called upon
  detecting a ctcp flood with the last line as a
  parameter. The internal ignore won't be set in that
  case.
- DCC requests are no longer accounted for CTCP flood
  checking
- message ignore will now ignore INVITEs as well
- /DCC RESUME NICK without file spec worked like /DCC GET
  no matter what
- fixed cps calculation for resume/move DCCs

1.34 (beta)
-----------
- DCC SEND/MOVE now show "stalled" status when no data
  has arrived in the last 5 seconds
- DCC SEND now has a "Reoffer" button which resends the
  DCC offer for the currently selected DCC
- when sending multiple files, a one second delay is now
  made between sending out each DCC offer, to avoid
  triggering server side flood protections.
- "Connect thread" when no connection is established
  will no longer close the connect window and leave
  the first instance of AmIRC lingering around without
  any window open
- added new rexx command: "PLAYSOUND FILENAME,EVENT/K/N".
  Argument is either a filename of a CTCP SOUND alike
  sound to be played; EVENT=num plays a predefined
  user defined event sound.
- Abort connection now works properly when a server
  connection has been established, too.
- CTCP SOUND trigger the DCC event, not the CTCP event.
- CTCP ACTION has been changed to not trigger a CTCP
  event at all.

1.35 (beta)
-----------
- modified behavior of VERSION command. If a nickname, not a server
  name, is given, it behaves like "CTCP VERSION"

1.36 (beta)
-----------
- fixed broken key detection

1.37 (beta)
-----------
- fixed Remove/Reoffer in the DCC SEND list
- INVITE is now ignored by IGNORE PRIV, not IGNORE TEXT

1.38 (beta)
-----------
- sounds were loaded (not played) via datatypes even if external player
  was configured
- PLAYSOUND EVENT was broken
- "Reoffer" button was hosed
- fixed missing argument to STM_PLAY in datatypes sound play

1.39 (beta)
-----------
- fixed PLAYSOUND definition (again :)

----
- fixed banlist window inner spacing

- increased DCC send delay timeout
- added fixed version of WallChop.AMIRX

1.41
----
- fixed serious security leak in handling incoming DCC
  requests which were char device names

  commented out)

1.42

- ARexx "GetUserState" command caused memory trashing
  under certain cirumstances

1.43
----
- fixed potential deadlock when quitting amirc with active DCC
  sessions

1.44
----
- fixed initial rename of DCC path not working
- pending GETLINE requests could cause a crash when
  AmIRC was quitted

1.45
----
- querying channel modes of not joined channels could cause
  enforcer madness and bogus output if the channel had both
  a limit and a keyword
- fixed another potential deadlock possibility arising
  when the TCP/IP is closed while AmIRC is running

1.46
----
- fixed a pretty obscure bug in channel/window binding
  which could happen if you had more than one window open,
  had a broken server link, closed one window and reconnected.
- fixed problem with having trailing blanks after a query
  statement
- added secure encrypted DCC chat. Open with /DCC SCHAT nick.
  Incoming secure messages have [nick] in square brackets.

- changed dialog window out prefix for DCC CHAT to
  ">>>" and for SCHAT to "··>"
- outgoing SCHAT messages in plain windows now

----
- fixed activating of string gadget in password window
- now sends and accepts CTCP ACTION ("Describe")
  via DCC CHAT links

  channel destination but are NOT to your own nick
  with a [to dest] prefix
- own nicknames were limited to 15 chars

1.49
----
- raised the maximum number of userop buttons to 96. Also, the buttons
  can be distributed over a register group with a maximum of 8 pages now.
- userlist now supports multiple selection. A new placeholder %m
  for userop actions is introduced. If this is used, then the corresponding
  action is called once for groups of up to 6 users seperated by commas,
  otherwise the command is iterated over the selected entries normally.
  So, %m allows for using commands which accept multiple users (i.e.
  mode changes)
- fixed a memory leak in /LIST command
- VERSION now accepts * and , placeholders

1.50
----
- changed layout of the dialog window buttons again
- the [S] button in dialog windows is now only disabled
  when a secure chat link has been established. Also,
  clicking on [S] while a non-secure chat link exists
  will terminate the non-secure link and send a secure
  offer
- reoffering of DCC Chat links now works properly
- /DCC LIST CHAT now shows whether a chat link is secure or
  not
- fixed %m not working properly with >5 entries
- fixed problems with number_of_button_pages bigger
  than actually defined number of buttons
- /OP, /DEOP, /VOICE and /UNVOICE now both accept up to
  6 nicks, and cut of any further arguments to avoid
  bogus mode changes
- added drag&drop support for userlist. The following

  inserts the selected user names into the string. Dropping
  on any of the action buttons activates the action.
  Dropping outside of any windows opens a query window
  for the nicks in question.

1.51
----
- fixed potential enforcer flood when setting up

  again due to major annoyance
- [S] status wasn't set properly when a query window
  was opened after the DCC chat was established

1.52
----
- NOTIFY list was loaded twice internally (no effects,
  but time and code size)
- fixed a bug with loading "old" config files
  causing enforcer hits galore on button setup
- added "drop outside of window" again. This time
  properly checks whether the nicks are really dropped
  outside of any amirc window
- fixed dropping of nicks to the input string gadget

1.53
----
- input string now becomes active after dropping stuff
  on it
- fixed a desynched taglist in window creation which could
  cause major havoc depending on what was on the stack before

1.54
----
- fixed problems with being unable to connect when the
  client IP refuses to resolve to a name due to
  whatever reason

- DCC IPC is now less CPU intensive and will also avoid
  excess refresh

1.56
----
- now userop button labels were messed up
- Trying to connect to a server while being connected to
  another server where the connect failed early to
  (for example) missing servername caused a generally
  funky and obscure internal state messup

1.57
----
- list class no longer does a relayout of the buffer if the horizontal
  width hasn't changed upon layout operations
- included updated registration utility

1.58beta
--------
- URL grabber now handles https:// URLs
- URL grabber did stop early on "?" or "&" characters
- fixed a longstanding bug in the list class causing layer damage
  to go unnoticed. Liked to show up frequently with SuperLayers,
  but could happen with OS2/OS3 as well.
- state of raw log mode wasn't saved to prefs
- reworked default server list
- a CTCP ACTION send over DCC CHAT had an excess \n at the end

1.59beta
--------
- fixed a few bogus methods going up to rootclass pointlessly, thus
  wasting CPU

1.60beta
--------
- now reads a file PROGDIR:AmIRC.passwords for secure chat passwords.
  Format is "nick password" per line. If a password specified in the
  file fails, the requester pops up as usual. Note that the passwords
  are never sent as cleartext during handshaking, so an attempt to
  establish a SCHAT to a person with the same nick but different identity
  will not open the password to cryptographic attacks.
- began migration to textinput
- removed forcing of tiny font to helvetica/9 if unset
- now sends a "USERHOST mynick" after connection to get the
  server's opinion on what the user's userhost is
- %m now groups every 3 nicks to be compatible with the efnet
  tree of IRC servers

  the main gadget to be an old style intuition stringclass instance
- completely recompiled with SAS/C 6.58
- DCC RECEIVE could send out duplicate ACKs for the last block
  under certain circumstances

1.67beta
--------
- added nickname completer. If "TAB" is pressed inside the string
  gadget when the cursor is positioned at the end of a word,
  this is assumed to be a partial nickname and it's completed out
  of the current userlist. Pressing "TAB" multiple times will
  cycle through all nicknames matching the original partial
  string. This functionality is not available when using
  old style string gadgets.
- in "UseOldStyleStrings" mode, the channel keyword and limit
  gadgets are now old style intuition strings, too (required
  for proper activate handling)
- when transmitting files containing whitespace or quotes in the
  filename, the offending characters are transformed into
  underscores
- raised stack size for DCC SEND/RECEIVE threads back to 10k
  to avoid potential problems with certain TCP/IP stacks
