=== changes since Release 4.9 ===
Release 4.10
------------
- changed directory layout a bit; now the ChatBot has it's down
directory.
- CLChatIRCD: fixed "Nick: Nick in use message"'s wrong colon
position.
- ChatBot: can now be used remotely (via a TCP link), too.
- ChatBot: added a nice doc for the ChatBot written by Adam Clark.
- ChatBot: Added "SEEN" command.
- ChatBot: Added "MSG" command.
- ChatBot: now uses less bandwidth for detecting a userhost.
- ChatBot: can now handle being renamed (via EMIT /NICK).
- ChatBot: configuration dir can now be changed. Defaults to S:.
- Server: will now reject multiple OP/DEOP requests.
- Server: Severe bug in server link protocol: C-formating
codes got interpreted underway (%s, %d etc.pp.)
- Sever: major change in the link protocol. [EXIT]
messages are now generated locally, too. [EXIT]áis
now correctly generated for users which get lost
due to a closed server link. Overall bandwidth usage
reduced a lot by replacing the complete user table
broadcast with a REMOVE message.
- Server: Doubled the size of the message id cash to be able
to stand even *long* net delays.
- Server: "/MSG , " no longer addresses "<lastnick>".
- Server: Now keeps a log of the last nick which was addressed
publically with "nick:". Can be used with ": blah"
to prefix the text with that nick, or in "/MSG : blah"
to send a private message to this person.
Release 4.11
------------
- Server: fixed a severe bug in the server causing chat msgs
to get trashed during forwarding, resulting in all kinds of
nasty effects.
Release 4.12
------------
- did some work on the CLChatGUI-Client (see history)
- "Server restarting" and "Server Terminating" messages
didn't properly broadcast through the net.
- fixed several bugs with servers loosing user tables.
- it's now possible to /KILL chat operators which are
on the same server.
- the server now no longer reacts upon REMOVE messages for
local users (mainly to fix a bug in previous versions)
- ChatBot: Added a new external command "SendChatBotFile"
which allows to start a DCC.SEND externally. Requires
DCC.SEND.AS225 to be in the path.
- ChatBot: SendChatBot didn't FreeArgs() and therefore
eat some memory on every invocation.
- ChatBot: now gathers total login count and time
statistics for user it sees.
- added ChatBot.guide created by Laurence Walton from
ChatBot.doc.
- Server: forwarded privmsgs pointed to local users,
wasting bandwidth.
- CLChatIRCD: no longer outputs nonsense userhost with
QUIT messages.
- Server: now "//" can be used to output a single "/"
on start of a pubmsg.
- the BBS client now prompts for a nick name if none
is specified.
Release 4.13
------------
- did some work on the CLChatGUI-Client (see history)
- the CLChatD didn't remove "\r" (CR) on incoming messages.
This caused trouble with the ANSI client, which then outputted
<blah><CR><DELETE-TO-EOL>...
- CLChatIRCD now accepts "/JOIN channel" without removing the first
character if it is not an '#'.
- CLChatIRCD now silently eats "ISON" commands to at least avoid
the annoying "ISON: unknown command" messages with IRC clients
that do ISON on a regular base.
- Server: fixed a nasty bug with nick collision messages not being
broadcasted properly.
- everything recompiled with SAS/C 6.56.
