GammaTech Internet Relay Chat
Readme.Csd CSD 1997202 Version 2.06
NOTE: You MUST use binary mode to download the CSD file. If you fail
to use binary mode then installation of the CSD will fail.
This CSD file contains corrective service for the GammaTech Internet
Relay Chat Version 2.0 To install the corrective service, follow the
procedure described in the GammaTech Internet Relay Chat printed
manual.
NOTE: This CSD may only be applied to the commercial release of
GtIrc version 2.0 software. If you are running version 1.x or a beta
or demo version of GammaTech IRC do not download the CSD file
because you will be unable to install it.
Corrective Service files are cumulative. The latest CSD file contains
fixes found in all previous CSD files.
To determine if you should apply this CSD, go to an OS/2 command
prompt and CD to the GTIRC directory. From there execute the GtLevel
command. If the CSD level shown there is less than this CSD level
there are fixes here you may wish to install. A list of fixes and
their dates are shown below.
If while attempting to apply this CSD you encounter the error
message pop-up with the title which reads "Base Level Invalid", it
means that the version information stored in the INI files could
not be found. This information was placed there during the
installation of the base product, but is no longer there. You must
reinstall the base product and then apply this CSD.
If you are applying this CSD over the base 2.00 level of the product
then after installation of CSD 1996221 you will need to re-enter
information on the Settings, Query and Notify dialogs. If you are
applying this CSD to version 2.01 or later only changes to the
server list will be reset.

GammaTech Internet Relay Chat
Enhancements Version 2.05
* NOTE: It is strongly suggested that you read the entire help panel
on the new Server Dialog before attempting to configure your
servers for automatic connection and reconnections!
* Outgoing Oper Wallops are no longer displayed since they are
returned to us. This eliminates the double message when doing
wallops.
* CTCP CLIENTINFO requests now support a parameter although it is
very limited. This change is intended to keep IRC Operators from
mistaking the client as a bot.
* Added a new message thread to offload the main input thread and
hopefully improve respose time on server PING messages.
* The /Query command will now accept multiple nicknames.
* User mode is now reset when a reconnect is done. An attempt is
made to reestablish the usermode when the reconnect is finished.
* If Options->Preferences->Rejoin Chans On Reconnect is selected
open Query windows will now be reopened on reconnects also.
* The connection closed message is now timestamped.
* Connected time is now reset when a reconnect is performed.
* Any trailing carriage return characters are now stipped from DCC
Chat input.
* The On Message feature now has an option to specify if the matching
text may occur anywhere in the message line or only at the start.
The default is that it must begin at the start. Previously the
text could appear anywhere so you may need to update your config.
* Leaving a channel no longer generates a leave message if it is us
that is leaving.
* If the server name is an IP address, DNS lookup is automatically
bypassed. The Bypass DNS option will force the specified IP address
to be used even if a server host name is provided assuming the
IP address is known.
* Completely reworked the connection dialog and processing. The old
Connect Dialog has been replaced with a new Servers Dialog. From
this dialog you may configure a number of servers in a prefered
order and specify automatic retry for connecting to a server and
automatic reconnect if an existing connection fails, Additional
features are also provided. See the help from the Servers Dialog
window for additional details.
* The Ident daemon is now terminated when the server message of
the day has been displayed. This makes it easier to run multiple
clients with different idented user names.
* Increased the number of possible server entries to 100.
* Added message routing and supression feature. The suppression
options in the Preferences Dialog has been replaced with a new
Message Routing feature. See the help from the Preferences
Dialog for details. Basically, the user now has the ability to
route or supress several kinds of messages to windows of their
choice. Related options were also removed from the CTCP Dialog.
* Correct problem where supressing signoff messages did not
supress the message.
* Added a timestamp to the end of Notify, Join, Leave, Signoff and
Kick messages.
* Added the /DNS command to do online DNS lookups.
* Corrected a security hole in DCC GET.
* A default signoff message my now be specified in the Preferences
Dialog.
* Corrected trap when attempting to join a channel with a name
exceeding the limit of 200 characters.
* Corrected problem where we were replying to unknown CTCP NOTICES.
* Added logic to drop invalid CTCP's.
* Correct problem when the server does not have a MOTD file.
* Increased the maximum number of entries in the NickList to 200.
* A new Msg option has been added to Nicklist pop-up menu. Selecting
a nickname in the list and then selecting the Msg option will
place a /MSG <nick> command in the input area and position the
cursor so that you simply type the text to send and press Enter.
* Correct trap which occurs when notify list exceeds approximately
25 entries.
* Correct trap which occured on some modified servers which resulted
from invalid ISON reply messages from the server.
* Text entered to the channel or a private message is now prefixed
with <yournick> instead of the customary ">" or "->" symbols so
as to make it easier to see the text you entered and make log
files easier to read.
Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.03.0
* Added functionality for setting and using IRC variables via the
/VAR command. These variables can be used in /Commands, CTCP
reply overrides, and in REXX scripts. See the online help for
additional information. Particularly the help for /VAR, Variables
and in Script Programming the IrcRexxVariable() function.
* Added the IrcRexxVariable() function for use in REXX scripts.
See previous note.
* Added a simple mass ctcp flood protection scheme that will block
all incoming CTCP's if a flood is detected. The user is notified
if this event occurs and it lasts for 3 minutes after which it
will be deactivated permitting CTCP's once again. A later release
will provide options to control this feature.
* The /Ignore command now permits you to purge the entire ignore
list by specifying a single "-" as a parameter. i.e. /ignore -
* The /DCC Send command now permits path and file names with
embedded spaces. However, a file name with embedded spaces will
have the spaces replaced with underscore characters (_) at the
receiving end.
* Corrected trap condition when an invalid DCC command is received.
* Corrected /DEOP command which failed to deop.
* Added /KLINE command.
* /KICK now permits multiple nicknames.
* Added /REXX command which is functionally equivalemnt to /SCR.
* The maximum DCC block size has been increased to 28KB. 4KB is
still the default and the recommended value since the DCC
protocol specifications limit it to 4KB. Using a larger block
size may improve performance or it may cause problems.
Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.02.0
* Corrected trap when joining some channels where the TS timestamp
for channel creation is an invalid value.
* Corrected problem where some server notices were routed to the
wrong window on ef_net if the user had a user mode of -s.
* Corrected problem where pasting of multi-line text in a DCC Chat
window did not break the lines correctly and left carriage return
and line feed characters in the text.
* Corrected trap when data was sent to a DCC Chat peer but the
connection had not yet been established.
* ClientInfo CTCP now returns "SOUND" as an available option.
* /KILL now displays a message in the current window
indicating the command was executed since this command does
not reply with a standard acknowledgement.
Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.01.0
* MultiMedia PM is no longer required. However, all MM sound support
will be disabled if MMPM/2 is not installed.
* Up to 25 wav path's may now be specified in the sound dialog.
* Correct error in IP Address for outgoing DCC requests after a
link failure has occured and the IRC client is reconnected without
restarting it.
* Correct problem where nicklist leaves names in the list of clients
who have signed off if signoff message suppression is requested.
* Support for nick names up to 30 characters long is now provided.
This should correct the traps with dal.net IRC servers.
* We now format the URL message received by dal.net servers.
* Corrected problem where sounds could not be sent to channels with
names greater than 9 characters in length.
* Correct problem where /OMSG causes the server to disconnect you due
to flooding.
* Correct trap when a CTCP Sound message is received but a file name
is not present.
