- Author: owagner@vapor.com (Oliver Wagner)
- Uploader: owagner@vapor.com (Oliver Wagner)
- Version: 2.2
- Type: comm/irc
- Kurz: GUI-IRC-Client (v2.2)
- Requires: OS 2.04, MUI 3.8
-
- AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol written by
- Oliver Wagner (owagner@vapor.com). It is a part of the VaporWare suite
- of Internet applications. For more information on AmIRC or any other
- VaporWare products, please see our website - http://www.vapor.com/.
-
- (For changes since v1.69, please see below).
-
- AmIRC v2.0's features include:
-
- - Works with Genesis, Miami, AmiTCP and as225/inet225, no additional
- libraries.
-
- - Built-in highly optimised DCC drivers for SEND, TSEND and MOVE, with
- asynchronous file I/O and threaded network handling. Supports drag &
- drop sending of files, and DCC RESUME.
-
- - Tranparent DCC CHAT routes all /MSGs via DCC CHAT if possible. There
- is an option to automatically accept DCC CHAT connections.
-
- - Supports secure encrypted DCC CHAT (SCHAT).
-
- - Ultra fast text output and scrolling. Supports copy & paste for the
- list text, and allows the use of proportional fonts.
-
- - Internal CTCP flood and DCC bomb protection.
-
- - Full Undernet IRC extensions (reply codes and additional commands).
-
- - Intuitive channel display, with userlist and channel mode overview.
- Channel modes can easily be changed and the banlist inspected via
- these gadgets. The configurable user action list allows you to
- perform whatever action you like on user(s) in channel by the press
- of a mousebutton..
-
- - Uses query windows for private chat.
-
- - Supports "smart" banning.
-
- - Versatile AREXX port includes server message parsing (event trapping)
- and commandline/script interaction.
-
- - Easy to use command line aliasing.
-
- - Built-in IdentD, which is automatically disabled if another IdentD is
- already running.
-
- - Nickname notification, highliting, ignoring and kickban.
-
- - Versatile event handling, allows you to bind sound effects, auto-
- deiconify, or ARexx scripts to certain events.
-
- - Server phonebook.
-
- - Last nick history stores the nicknames of the last nicks you've sent
- MSGs to, received MSGs from or addressed publically with "nick:".
- Use the ":" placeholder in all commands which require nicknames,
- (e.g. /MSG, /OP, /DEOP), for automatic expansion.
-
- - The TAB key automatically cycles through the list of last used nicks
- with a /MSG prefix.
-
- - Nickname completion. Pressing TAB after typing a partial nickname will
- automagically match nicks in the current channel, just like in your
- favorite CON: handler.
-
- - Auto rejoin channel on /KICK, and auto reconnect to server facility.
-
- - Auto /AWAY after a user-specified idle timeout. Also, auto unaway after
- sending public and/or private msgs is possible.
-
- - URL grabber for interfacing with the Voyager WWW browser (or via an
- ARexx script for other browsers)
-
- New features since AmIRC's last major release (2.0) include:
-
- - Single window mode. You can join several channels with opening
- just a single window.
-
- - Total queueing. Now everything which isn't urgent (like
- KICKS or MODE changes) is sent through the output queue.
- to reduce risk of being kicked by a server due to flooding.
-
- - Settable scrollback buffer size. The amount of text stored
- in a window's scrollback buffer is now limited; the number
- of lines to keep can be configured.
-
- - Vapor Update Library. Will now automagically check for
- available updates during startup, and inform you if there
- is one -- which you can automatically download, too.
-
- - New plugin API calls. On request by plugin authors, several
- new callbacks and functions have been implemented in the
- AmIRC plugin API.
-
- - Multiselect ban list window
-
- - openurl.library support
-
- - new translations done by ATO (http://ato.vapor.com/ato)
-
- - Terminal mode to hack your way through firewalls
-
- - several bug fixes and minor improvements (for a complete
- list, refer to the history attached below)
-
- New features since AmIRC the 1.69 release include:
-
- - Query and channel windows can now be iconified individually to a
- "tray" window. Tray window button labels turn bold when new messages
- are received, white when a highlight occurs, and carry information
- about the number of messages in each window.
-
- - New low-level Plugin API. Documentation of the API is available from
- www.vapor.com or Aminet, in a separate archive. An example plugin,
- WallChop.AmiPlug, is included.
-
- - Server list is now a ListTree object with subgroups for different
- networks.
-
- - Can now use MIMEPrefs to automatically view & save files received via
- DCC. Activate the "Use MIMEPrefs to view?" or "Use MIMEPrefs to save?"
- menu options.
-
- - "Lag-O-Meter" (tm ;)) probes the IRC server every 30 seconds and shows
- the current lag from 0-10+ in a gauge below the userlist. The Info
- window also contains the three most recent measurements and the
- average.
-
- - Heavily improved logging. All channel and query windows now have an
- "L" button to the right of the input gadget, which is a toggle button
- to activate the logging to a user-specified directory.
-
- - "Favorites" window added to store the names of channels you use
- regularly. Click on the channel name in a window to open.
-
- - AmIRC now uses NList.mcc (if available) for its listviews. NList is
- written by Gilles Masson (masson@iut-soph.unice.fr).
-
- - Stronger CTCP flood protection.
-
- - DCC connections now work with Miami's SOCKS support.
-
- - Files received via DCC are opened in shared mode during transfer,
- so you can play or view them partially while the transfer is still
- in progress (esspecially for all you mp3 freaks out there :-)
-
- - DCC receives now have the options to Replace a file. Both the send
- and receive windows have Cleanup buttons, to remove old closed and
- failed connections.
-
- - DCCs now show the estimated remaining time of a transfer based
- on current throughput.
-
- - Query windows now have an N button to change the nickname the window
- is currently bound to.
-
- - Background color of AmIRC's main listviews can now be configured.
-
- - /AWAY messages are now filtered, and only shown once to avoid screen
- cluttering when talking to someone who is set /AWAY.
-
- - special "Invite" and "Oper" requesters
-
- - Can now automatically accept DCC Send requests.
-
- - Now sends pertinent information to query windows, such as /nick and
- /QUIT messages from that user, as well as CTCP and DCC messages.
-
