-
- Complete re-write of IRClient using 100% new code, and using EqNet as the
- Internet back-end. An entire scripting language is added.
-
- v0.17 (*) : BASIC programming language re-invented, in assembler, much to
- the amusement of my immediate peers. Limited though it is, much
- of the rest of the client will be developed within this language.
- I'm mad, but there you go. (1/4/96)
- v0.18 (*) : As far as can be told, the scripting language is in, stable, and
- works. Development of the client proper begins. (14/4/96)
- v0.19 : Things are starting to look promising; IRClient undergoes its first
- live test which is a complete success. Released to a few registered
- beta-testers.
- v0.20 : After feedback from users (thanks fortywo and zarni) the user interface
- has been changed considerably - for the better. Few patches here and there;
- stability much greater than in v0.19. The end nears...
- v0.21 : Some minor patches and bugfixes
- v0.22 : Guess what - more bugfixes!
-
- ......
- v0.32 : First decent release in a long time - many bugs fixed
- v0.36 : Many internal changes which manifest themselves as bug fixes :)
- v0.37 : The features introduced in 0.36 are now apparent - the reference-
- counted garbage collector is now operational!
- v0.38-0.40* : Many bugs in GC fixed, new module deals with memory allocation
- which is much faster. Script files now pre-processed for speed
- and memory size reasons
- v0.41-0.42* : More bugfixes...
- v0.43 : :) This one
- (*) indicates a non-released version
