naim 0.11.6

[Daniel Reed]

naim 0.11.6 is now available.

naim is a console AIM, ICQ, IRC, and Lily client. Development work is done
on Linux, but naim should work on any system with an ANSI C compiler, BSD
sockets, and ncurses. This includes operating systems such as BeOS, FreeBSD,
Mac OS 10, NetBSD, and Microsoft Windows using Cygwin. naim has been in
development since October, 1998. More information is available from:

Summary of changes from 0.11.5.9 to 0.11.6 [2003-06-24]
============================================
[pkg FEA] naim is now able to build binary release tarballs
	(naim-VERSION-ARCH.tgz) and Cygwin/Windows releases
	(naim-VERSION-cygwinrelease.tbz2).
[pkg fea] naim will now build a separate naim_core library
	(cygnaim_core-0.dll) under Cygwin/Windows, to facilitate the dynamic
	module system.
[pkg FEA] The dynamic module system uses GNU libtool's libltdl, and now
	works on all platforms actively supported by naim.
[pkg fea] Several small documentation updates.
[pkg fea] Major header files are now installed in a global installation
	directory.
[con bug] Small bugs in contrib/sendim.sh found and fixed.
[UI  fea] Chat "hilites" added: If a member of a room/channel/discussion
	mentions your name, their message will be highlighted.
[UI  bug] A small bug in the /away routine has been fixed, allowing your
	/away status to be preserved across re/connects.
[UI  bug] .naimprofile will now be read for all connections in the event
	that multiple connections are declared in .naimrc.
[pkg bug] A "#warning" directive was misnamed "#warn" and has been
	corrected.
[Lil fea] Discussion retitles are now treated as a /topic change on IRC.
[TOC bug] /me processing in chat rooms was broken. Fixed.
[pkg FEA] The default modules have been removed, and are now distributed in
	a separate "naim-modules" package available from the naim web site.
[UI  fea] All internal routines are now declared "static," to clean up the
	module interface.
[UI  FEA] All major dependencies on ncurses in the main UI code have been
	isolated to src/win.c, to provide for easy migration to modular user
	interface routines.
[UI  FEA] New /chains command to display all event chains.
[UI  FEA] Newly rewritten /modload and new /modunload to completely control
	loadable modules.
[UI  FEA] New /modlist command to display currently loaded modules and
	their vital statistics.
[UI  FEA] Queued messages are now saved when you /save.
[UI  fea] Minor improvements to the HTML renderer.

This is a change in the release minor number, and contains mostly packaging-
related changes and code cleanups. However, new features related to the
module loading interface are present that may provide exciting possibilities
for naim extension. As with any significant release, check back within a few
days for a new patchlevel release addressing issues not discovered during
the development cycle.

If there is any questionable behaviour at all, please contact me directly at
<n@ml.org>, on AIM as "naim help," or on EFnet or Undernet IRC in #naim. If
you are interested in the use and development of naim, feel free to

Updated: naim-0.11.6.1-1

[Daniel Reed]

naim 0.11.6.1 is now available through the Cygwin Net Release.

This is primarily a maintenance release, with proven features from the
0.12.0 experimental tree backported to the stable tree. However, a number of
new features/behavior changes managed to creep in (such as /status and the
HTML renderer changes).

naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Internet Relay
Chat, and The lily CMC. Development work is done on Linux, but naim should
work on any system with an ANSI C compiler, BSD sockets, and ncurses. This
includes operating systems such as BeOS, FreeBSD, Mac OS 10, NetBSD, and
Microsoft Windows using Cygwin. naim has been in development since October,
1998. More information is available from:

Summary of changes from 0.11.6 to 0.11.6.1 [2003-09-23]
============================================
[pkg fea] Packages are now compressed with bzip2 rather than GNU zip.
[FT  FEA] (backported from 0.12.0) /names now displays the entire, correct
        list in all situations, including initial join.
[IRC fea] (backported from 0.12.0) Unhandled numerics used in WHOIS now show
        up in /whois output.
[TOC fea] AIM Directory entry is now forced clear on connect.
[TOC fea] Messages that are too long to send are now rejected.
[UI  FEA] Messages that have been rejected by a protocol driver (for example
        because they are too long) are returned to the sender.
[UI  fea] (backported from 0.12.0) The idea of a "generic" window has been
        removed, and you can no longer /delbuddy someone with an open window
        (you must /close the window first).
[UI  fea] (backported from 0.12.0) New $nameformat and $nameformat_name to
        control the format names appear as in the window list window, and
        elsewhere.
[UI  fea] (backported from 0.12.0) New $autosort. 0 means no window list
        sorting, 1 means sort by name, 2 means sort into groups, then by
        name.
[UI  fea] New /status command, including naim version and information about
        window status.
[UI  bug] Online help for /save did not show the file name argument. Fixed.
[UI  fea] SIGHUP now re-reads .naimprofile by default.
[UI  bug] Possible reference to free()d memory in certain uncommon
        situations pointed out by Michael Wilson. Fixed.
[UI  fea] (backported from 0.12.0) /jump now accepts connection:window
        syntax (/jump EFnet:#naim works the same as /EFnet:jump #naim).
[UI  fea] /open now takes you to newly opened windows, removing the need to
        /jump after /open.
[UI  fea] /closeall now skips windows with queued messages pending.
[UI  bug] Potential NULL pointer dereference in Tab completion found. Fixed.
[UI  fea] The protocol drivers already take care of populating empty buddy
        lists when that was a problem, so naim no longer adds you to your
        own buddy list if you don't have one at startup.
[UI  fea] Various cleanups in the HTML renderer to handle stacked tags with
        missing close tags.

naim 0.11.6.5 is now available through the Cygwin Net Release.

`--------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Summary of changes from 0.11.6.4 to 0.11.6.5
============================================
[FT  FEA] (backported from 0.12) All individual protocol drivers have been
	rewritten as permanent modules. Transient (/modloaded) modules can
	add new protocol drivers dynamically.
[UI  fea] /newconn now lists all available protocol drivers when no
	arguments are given.
[TOC FEA] (backported from 0.12) /sync now preserves group names, and saved
	group names are restored when naim retrieves your permanent buddy
	list from the TOC server.
[UI  fea] The screen initialization routines are much more verbose.
[pkg fea] New --enable-forceascii, defaults to ENABLED in Cygwin. If
	specified, a new $forceascii setting will be available. When
	non-zero, naim will use alternate characters (+-|) in place of super
	ASCII line-drawing characters. Patch by Igor Pechtchanski.
[UI  fea] (backported from 0.12) /addbuddy and /groupbuddy will match case
	and spacing for existing groups. This is required for persistent
	group support.
[UI  bug] Some /-commands only make sense in specific situations, but a bug
	was allowing them to be used anywhere. Fixed. (Bug reported by
	Walter Venable.)
[pkg bug] Cygwin build script used gunzip on a .bz2 file. Fixed.
[UI  fea] /newconn will accept one argument (and pick the appropriate driver
	name) if it recognizes the connection name.
[pkg fea] New --enable-dnsupdate, defaults to ENABLED in Cygwin. If
	specified, naim will periodically check for the availability of a
	newer version of itself.
[UI  FEA] New /jumpback command, also available as M-b and F7. Allows the
	user to do a reverse /jump (to the previous window).
