Any attempt to describe all the changes in the past 6 months would be
woefully inefficient, so you should refer to the UPDATES file, and to
the KNOWNBUGS file for the most gory details. Here is a (very) brief
summary of the most noteworthy changes:
Changes in 0.0.6:
* New math parser now default, use /SET OLD_MATH_PARSER ON to go back
* /SET -CREATE removed (use /addset)
* /ON LEAVE changed to /ON PART
* Nicknames rejections are handled by a script now
* Server names without ports hunt for the first server, not port 6667
* Your startup script is loaded immediately at startup (as if you used -B)
* A bunch of /set's have been re-implemented as scripts
* /TIMER has been refactored and behaves more consistently.
* Nickname fudging is now handled by a script
* About 40 old (obsolete) scripts are removed
* Case insensitive string compares now done in C way, not the irc way.
* The === and !== operators in the new math parser do case sensitive compares.
* /EXEC -OUT dumps to your current target (channel or query) and not just chan
Changes in 0.0.7:
* Asynchronous dns lookups for server connections.
* A new set, /set display_mangle replaces 15 (removed) /sets
* Removal of support for 7 bit only terminals (8 bit terminals required now)
* All new unified string mangler/normalizer ($stripcrap(), /set display_mangle)
* Automatic scrollback rebreaking when window size changes.
* Highlight ignores now handled by a script
* Experimental support for sending files > 2gb over dcc.
Enjoy!
Jeremy
