BitchX-1.2-Final Readme file by Dan Mashal <dan408@bitchx.ca>
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
BitchX is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client by Colten Edwards aka
|
|
panasync@efnet. BitchX was originally based on ircII 2.8, but is currently
|
|
based on the ircii-EPIC4 releases by Jeremy Nelson.
|
|
|
|
BitchX was originally started as a script by Trench and HappyCrappy
|
|
for the popular UNIX IRC client ircII. Around Christmas of 1994 the
|
|
script was patched directly into the client by panasync.
|
|
|
|
As of 12/31/2012 we are releasing BitchX-1.2-final.
|
|
18 years of BitchX and we're not nearly done yet.
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
1) Compilation errors on gcc4
|
|
2) IPV6 support on BSD
|
|
3) ANSI output in terminal emulators
|
|
4) cygwin compilation errors
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
1) Built in SASL support. See: http://github.com/BitchX/BitchX1.2/wiki
|
|
2) tcl.c now included with BitchX - Does not work great.
|
|
3) /NAMES and /SCAN
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The formatting of /NAMES and /SCAN output has been substantially reworked.
|
|
The old /FSETs NAMES_BOTCOLOR, NAMES_FRIENDCOLOR, NAMES_NICKCOLOR,
|
|
NAMES_OPCOLOR, NAMES_SHITCOLOR and NAMES_VOICECOLOR have been replaced
|
|
with these new /FSETs:
|
|
|
|
....................NAMES_NICK %B$[10]0
|
|
................NAMES_NICK_BOT %G$[10]0
|
|
.............NAMES_NICK_FRIEND %Y$[10]0
|
|
.................NAMES_NICK_ME %W$[10]0
|
|
...............NAMES_NICK_SHIT %R$[10]0
|
|
....................NAMES_USER %K[ %n$1-%K]
|
|
.............NAMES_USER_CHANOP %K[%C$0%n$1-%K]
|
|
..............NAMES_USER_IRCOP %K[%R$0%n$1-%K]
|
|
..............NAMES_USER_VOICE %K[%M$0%n$1-%K]
|
|
|
|
The NAMES_NICK formats control how the nick itself is displayed, depending
|
|
on the status of the nick as recognised by BitchX (the priority order is
|
|
NAMES_NICK_ME > NAMES_NICK_BOT > NAMES_NICK_FRIEND > NAMES_NICK_SHIT >
|
|
NAMES_NICK). The NAMES_USER formats control how the overall entry appears in
|
|
the /NAMES or /SCAN line, depending on the channel status of the nick (the
|
|
priority order is NAMES_USER_CHANOP > NAMES_USER_VOICE > NAMES_USER_IRCOP >
|
|
NAMES_USER).
|
|
|
|
You'll need to update any scripts or custom formats that altered the old
|
|
formats. If you just use the defaults, the main difference you'll see is
|
|
that your own nick is now shown in white, and voiced users are shown with
|
|
the '+' sent by the server instead of the 'v'. You can go back to the old
|
|
look by setting these formats:
|
|
|
|
/FSET NAMES_NICK_ME %B$[10]0
|
|
/FSET NAMES_USER_VOICE %K[%Mv%n$1-%K]
|
|
|
|
Also, the NAMES header and NAMES_FOOTER formats are now called with $3 set
|
|
to the total number of nicks in the channel, and $4 to the mask given to
|
|
/SCAN (if any).
|
|
|
|
/SCAN now supports a new sort flag "-stat", which sorts the output by
|
|
channel status (chanops, then halfops, then voices, then the riff-raff).
|
|
|
|
4) /HOP and /DEHOP
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
New commands /HOP and /DEHOP have been added, to give and remove halfop
|
|
status (on servers that support it).
|
|
|
|
5) PLUGINS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The "scan" plugin has been removed - its functionality is now built-in,
|
|
accessed by /scan -stat (see above). If you want this to be the default,
|
|
just set this alias (the double-slash is REQUIRED):
|
|
|
|
/ALIAS SCAN { //SCAN -STAT }
|
|
|
|
|
|
A special thanks to panasync.
