There's also been some minor features +etc. + +~2Misc Features: + +~4~b*~C If you bring up a menu, ctrl+letter generates an on the fly accelerator +~4~b*~C Scroll back size if setable through the Prefrences +~4~b*~C Setable background pixmap, it ~b~ureally~b~u sucks +~4~b*~C New icons for the server controller/docking. Thanks mosfet + +~2Memory: + +~4~b*~C The last few release kSirc has had a gradual memory leak, fixed. +~4~b*~C Created KPlunger a generic memory debugger and leak tracker for C++. +~4~b*~C Fixed a bunch of bufffer problems which caused kSirc die on non-intel +~4~b*~C Reduced memory footprint, and effeciency. + +~2Puke: +~4~b*~C Reduced endian dependance +~4~b*~C Lots to come soon + +~b~12,4 kSirc Release Notes for 981107 + +This release is mostly a bug fix release. + +Bugs Fixed: + +~4~b*~C ~3Title Bar now works with not umode set, away, etc +~4~b*~C ~3Puke now works on most machines I can find. This means you can stop whinning about dcc being broken. +~4~b*~C ~3Puke's now pretty much portable. +~4~b*~C ~3Lots of little bugs all over the place. + +~b~12,4 kSirc Release Notes for 981025 + +~2New Features: + +~4~b*~C ~3Mini Web Server +~4~b*~C ~3MDI Mode (very experimental) +~4~b*~C ~3Better Caption support with optional Topic +~4~b*~C ~3New Server Picker, thanks Atko +~4~b*~C ~3Selecting windows in SC brings them to foreground +~4~b*~C ~3Release notes are displayed to the screen on first run +~4~b*~C ~3Improved online help with /help + + +~b~12,4 Web Server Notes + +Credit: Thanks to Roberto for the PWS config dialog, +99.9% of the work is his. + +The web server setup is a graphical configuration +for the freely available web server called +mathopd. It's run/controlled via kSirc and +I've some fun running it. + +Couple notes to remember, you cannot use ports +< 1024. I'm not going to run anything as root, +since running a web server is dangerous enough, +much less giving potential root access away. + +/url command will show you a valid url +for you sure. Replace <port> with the port(s) +that the web server is running on. + +~b~12,4 MDI Mode + +Credit: Timothy Whitfield, ported the MDI interface +from kEirc into a generic MDI interface for KDE. + +Now, if you want to use it, here's a bunch of +problems I've already seen: + +1. Acelerator keys are all messed up. pgup/dn +is a good example. It just doesn't work. + +2. If you minimize something, you have to +double click on the channel name in the server +controller to bring it back. + +3. You cannot minimize the server controller. + +4. You can drag windows off the screen in never +never land. + +I'm personally not a big fan of the MDI interface +but I'll work on making it work right as time permits. + +~b~12,4 OTHER Stuff + +There's been a bunch of bug fixes everywhere. + +Cut & paste now cleans up correctly most of the time now. + +New release notes box, I think it's useful. What do +you think? + +Caption should be more useful now. I think this is the +best way to display the topic on the screen. + +Server controller is in and needs some more work. Basic +idea works well though. + +/help now displayes all possible functions, instead of just +built in ones. Shows all kSirc commands as well. |
