Short: Fully featured GUI IRC Client (v1.410)
Author: owagner@vapor.com
Uploader: owagner@dmt.wupper.de
Version: 1.41
Type: comm/tcp
Kurz: GUI-IRC-Client (v1.41)
Long:
AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol.
It's very fast, easy to setup and use, has an extensive set
of features and supports scripting.
Features:
---------
o runs with both 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 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 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 URL grabber for interfacing with a WWW browser.
Changes since version 1.40
----
- fixed serious security leak in handling incoming DCC
requests which were char device names
- fixed clone handling in flood detection (was accidentally
commented out)
Changes since version 1.1
-------------------------
(not complete)
- fixed updating for DCC Receive pathes when the
default receive path is changed
- now filters mIRC color codes in display. They're still
available in Rexx processing (in case you want to do
a auto-kickban or stuff :)
- increased DCC send delay timeout
- added fixed version of WallChop.AMIRX
- sounds were loaded (not played) via datatypes even if external player
was configured
- fixed missing argument to STM_PLAY in datatypes sound play
- INVITE is now ignored by IGNORE PRIV, not IGNORE TEXT
- modified behavior of VERSION command. If a nickname, not a server
name, is given, it behaves like "CTCP VERSION"
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- fixed userhost database not updating to current userhost
when not marked dirty beforehand
- 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
- 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.
- List prefs window crashed if aliases >255 bytes were
defined.
- 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)
- /DCC CLOSE without args returned an bogus error.
- fixed problems with autojoining channels and "Connect thread"
- now preconfigs tiny font to helvetica/9 if not set
- fixed broken GETUSERS
- 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.
- 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.
- now runs PROGDIR:Rexx/Startup.amirx, /Shutdown.amirx and
/Connected.amirx when available on startup, shutdown
and established connection accordingly.
- GETUSERS nuked if the total size of the result string
exceeeded 2048 bytes
- new arexx command "GETWINNUM #channelname" returns
the win number of a channel
- GETUSER, GETUSERS, GETSELECTEDUSER and GETUSERSTATE
now accept CHANNEL=#channelname instead of a numeric
window argument
- added GETDCC rexx command. Returns 3 stem list:
DCC.CHAT.x has "nick state hostname"
DCC.SEND.x has "nick moveflag hostname state len cps filename"
DCC.RECEIVE.x has the same as SEND
- added /DCC RESUME command
- added /DCC CLOSE command
- fixed /DCC LIST state display
- now automatically uppercases the first word of outgoing
CTCP requests
- now calls PROGDIR:Rexx/DCCDone.AmIRX (if available)
with the "SEND|RECEIVE successcode nick filename" for
any DCC post processing
- list class used masked scrolling even on interlaced screens
- changed calling of custom_amirx.ctcp to:
Custom_CTCP.AmIRX command fromnick destination arguments
where "destination" is either the destination channel or
your own nickname.
- changed IRC server login to overcome stupid efnet
"bot" detection
- server notices now again have "privmsg color"
and trigger the NOTICE event
- ARexx "ECHO" command now accepts optional
paremeter "C=COL" specifying one of the
user defined text colors.
- minimum period for NOTIFY checks is now down to 20 seconds
again.
- topic buffer is now 256 chars
- no longer changes topic string gadget's contents while
it's active
- fixed several broken cycle chains
- fixed text marking problems with fixed fonts
- fixed text marking problems with characters < 31
which are not meaningful style commands
- added "Info message window" which stores all
all incoming server messages, mode changes etc..
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.
- 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.
- removed group frame in ban list window
- 317 "signon time" (undernet) display was broken.
- now properly calculates time zone offsets when parsing
time stamps delivered from servers
- fixed responses for +v/-v on a different channel
- 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().
- changed strings for all topic response messages.
- did another attempt in the "Fix Crash on Dialog Win
Close" session
- fixed potential crash when selecting menu AWAY while there
was no connection.
- fixed illminded reaction when WaitSelect() returned
the reset handler IPC signal to be set (caused
deadlocks with Miami users)
- added 281 and 512 GLine related response codes
- DCC CHAT connection sockets now have SO_KEEPALIVE set
so that connection losses don't go unnoticed.
- now shows unknown user modes as the raw mode char,
instead of simply ignoring them.
- "Use Identd?" was ghosted, but not cleared if the
auth port was in use during startup.
- fixed potential crash on closing dialog and
channel windows with close gadget
- DCC windows now open inactive
- added a custom CTCP handling hook: If PROGDIR:Rexx/Custom_CTCP.AmIRX"
exists, it will be called for unknown CTCP requests with the
following template:
Custom_CTCP.AmIRX command fromnick arguments
A check is done for dangerous shell escape characters.
- rewrote the internal nick/userhost database. Much faster now.
- added CTCP flood protection.
- now doesn't eat 332 "Topic is" message when joining a channel.
- now ignores excess (i.e. more than 40 bytes) CTCP ECHO requests.
- no longer stores notice origins and CTCP originators
in the TAB nick history
- properly strips path names from incoming DCC requests, too
(might be an problem if you accidentally clicked "GET"
on same lamo sending you "S:Startup-Sequence")

- sound names are now properly validated for security before
being passed to an external sound player.
- now strips of any pathes from incoming and outgoing sound
requests.
- added UPING oper command
- fixed deadlock when there was another identd in use on
the system and the connect to the server failed or was
closed straight without sending something. Happened
to MIAMI users, mostly.
- fixed a few duplicate shortcuts
- fixed netsplit detection for server names containing a digit
as the first character.
- long outstanding bug in the Rexx interface -- RexxMsgs
were never flushed, thus causing memory loss during
longer AmIRC operation with Rexx usage.
- fixed /KILL and /SQUIT commands.
- fixed messed up catalog string numbers
- fixed /IRCNAME command
- no longer sets identd to off when the port is bound
- fixed handling of "," in server comment strings

- added /MAP command and 005/007 messages
- added /GLINE command and 280/281 messages
- added /IRCNAME command and response parsing
- changed login procedure a bit in an attempt to avoid the
autojoin delay with 2.9-servers

struck with OS 2.x systems, or Play16 fans :-)
- directory and volume for CTCP SOUND stuff is now settable
- AWAY state in dialog windows will now go away when the remote
user is no longer away and a WHOIS is performed on him.
- added internal CTCP SOUND support. Sound files have to reside in
PROGDIR:Sounds

- fixed pasting of text containing linefeeds to query
windows (last char of every line was lost)
- CTCP ignore will now properly ignore channel CTCPs as well

- now displays the HIGHSCORE 317 message extension
- 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".

the internal identd and uses the system username in that case.
- 2.9-support: Displays and understands the 437 extension messages
("Nickname temporarly locked")
