------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.8.8 - 30/May/2010

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

- Made balloon time adjustable via /set input_balloon_time (Nicoleau Fabien).

- Fixed a crash in the /SET command if a boolean value was loaded from config

file that isn't set to 0 or 1.

- Added -on and -off parameters to the /SET command. This can be used to set

bits, for example gui_tweaks.

- Made scrolling backwards for the search window act better (Richard Hitt).

- [2045483] Made ESC key close the search window (Richard Rowell).

- Improved the reconnect logic. If a network is already open but disconnected,

it'll now get re-used if you use the Network List and connect to that same

network.

- Improved scrollback reloading speed significantly (Soeren Sandmann Pedersen).

- [2957047] Handle CTCPs when IDmsg is used correctly (Lian Wan Situ).

- [2987626] Allow /GHOST's password arg to be optional (Ori Avtalion).

- Added networks: 7-indonesia, ChattingAway, GeekShed, TURLINet.

- When switching tabs, make the treeview only scroll if the selected item

isn't visible [treeview-less-jumping.diff] (Brian Evans).

- Selecting an item in the nickmenu will now copy it to clipboard (Alex

Kutepow).

- New icons for notification area (systray): file offer, message and highlight

(Brian Evans).

- Defined a comparison routine for contexts in Python (Brian Evans).

- For the auto-join command, added an 'x' filler for empty keys. This works

around a bug in ircd-seven.

- When a single channel MODE changes, xchat will no longer re-issue a MODE

request for the titlebar display, but figure the new modes intelligently

(Brian Evans).

- Various text event changes (Brian Evans):

1. Added "Private Action", "Private Action to Dialog", "SSL Message".

2. Added "Identified text" parameter all the 'action' events.

3. Added a $3 parameter to "Server Text".

- Perl (Lian Wan Situ)

* Fixed a bug that resulted in timer hooks being leaked because

"return REMOVE" from a timer callback was not unhooking like it was

supposed to

* Reverted the unintentional change to how the server argument of print()

and command() is interepreted when it is undef

* Add hook_fd to the 'hooks' export tag

* Fixed a leak in XS_Xchat_get_list(Vincent Pit)

* Change Xchat::register so that scripts calling it without a name or

version will still show up in the plugins and scripts window.

* Added calls to PERL_SYS_INIT3 and PERL_SYS_TERM which are required on

some platforms

* Added some additional guards to prevents bits of scripts from spilling

into each other

* Added "modes", "win_ptr" and "xchatdirfs" to the list of keys that are

returned by context_info()

* Changed the information displayed in the "Plugins & Scripts" for scripts

that do not call register() to show up as "" for the name and description

and "unknown" for the version

* /reloadall will now reload scripts in the same order they were loaded

* Make xchat_send_modes available as Xchat::send_modes

* Add support for getting the network list using Xchat::get_list( "networks" )

* Xchat::strip_code will now strip off ANSI escape codes as well
