Short: Fully featured GUI IRC Client (v2.0)
Author: owagner@vapor.com (Oliver Wagner)
Uploader: owagner@vapor.com (Oliver Wagner)
Version: 2.0
Type: comm/tcp
Kurz: GUI-IRC-Client (v2.0)
AmIRC is a client for the IRC Internet Relay Chat protocol written by
Oliver Wagner (owagner@vapor.com). It is a part of the VaporWare suite
of Internet applications. For more information on AmIRC or any other
VaporWare products, please see our website - http://www.vapor.com/.
(For changes since v1.69, please see below).
AmIRC v2.0's features include:
- Works with Miami, AmiTCP and as225/inet225, no additional libraries.
- Built-in highly optimised DCC drivers for SEND, TSEND and MOVE, with
asynchronous file I/O and threaded network handling. Supports drag &
drop sending of files, and DCC RESUME.
- Tranparent DCC CHAT routes all /MSGs via DCC CHAT if possible. There
is an option to automatically accept DCC CHAT connections.
- Supports secure encrypted DCC CHAT (SCHAT).
- Ultra fast text output and scrolling. Supports copy & paste for the
list text, and allows the use of proportional fonts.
- Internal CTCP flood and DCC bomb protection.
- Full Undernet IRC extensions (reply codes and additional commands).
- Intuitive channel display, with userlist and channel mode overview.
Channel modes can easily be changed and the banlist inspected via
these gadgets. The configurable user action list allows you to
perform whatever action you like on user(s) in channel by the press
of a mousebutton..
- Uses query windows for private chat.
- Supports "smart" banning.
- Versatile AREXX port includes server message parsing (event trapping)
and commandline/script interaction.
- Easy to use command line aliasing.
- Built-in IdentD, which is automatically disabled if another IdentD is
already running.
- Nickname notification, highliting, ignoring and kickban.
- Versatile event handling, allows you to bind sound effects, auto-
deiconify, or ARexx scripts to certain events.
- Server phonebook.
- Last nick history stores the nicknames of the last nicks you've sent
MSGs to, received MSGs from or addressed publically with "nick:".
Use the ":" placeholder in all commands which require nicknames,
(e.g. /MSG, /OP, /DEOP), for automatic expansion.
- The TAB key automatically cycles through the list of last used nicks
with a /MSG prefix.
- Nickname completion. Pressing TAB after typing a partial nickname will
automagically match nicks in the current channel, just like in your
favorite CON: handler.
- Auto rejoin channel on /KICK, and auto reconnect to server facility.
- Auto /AWAY after a user-specified idle timeout. Also, auto unaway after
sending public and/or private msgs is possible.
- URL grabber for interfacing with the Voyager WWW browser (or via an
ARexx script for other browsers)
New features since AmIRC's last public release (1.69) include:
- Query and channel windows can now be iconified individually to a
"tray" window. Tray window button labels turn bold when new messages
are received, white when a highlight occurs, and carry information
about the number of messages in each window.
- New low-level Plugin API. Documentation of the API is available from
www.vapor.com or Aminet, in a separate archive. An example plugin,
WallChop.AmiPlug, is included.
- Server list is now a ListTree object with subgroups for different
networks.
- Can now use MIMEPrefs to automatically view & save files received via
DCC. Activate the "Use MIMEPrefs to view?" or "Use MIMEPrefs to save?"
menu options.
- "Lag-O-Meter" (tm ;)) probes the IRC server every 30 seconds and shows
the current lag from 0-10+ in a gauge below the userlist. The Info
window also contains the three most recent measurements and the
average.
- Heavily improved logging. All channel and query windows now have an
"L" button to the right of the input gadget, which is a toggle button
to activate the logging to a user-specified directory.
- "Favorites" window added to store the names of channels you use
regularly. Click on the channel name in a window to open.
- AmIRC now uses NList.mcc (if available) for its listviews. NList is
written by Gilles Masson (masson@iut-soph.unice.fr).
- Stronger CTCP flood protection.
- DCC connections now work with Miami's SOCKS support.
- Files received via DCC are opened in shared mode during transfer,
so you can play or view them partially while the transfer is still
in progress (esspecially for all you mp3 freaks out there :-)
- DCC receives now have the options to Replace a file. Both the send
and receive windows have Cleanup buttons, to remove old closed and
failed connections.
- DCCs now show the estimated remaining time of a transfer based
on current throughput.
- Query windows now have an N button to change the nickname the window
is currently bound to.
- Background color of AmIRC's main listviews can now be configured.
- /AWAY messages are now filtered, and only shown once to avoid screen
cluttering when talking to someone who is set /AWAY.
- special "Invite" and "Oper" requesters
- Can now automatically accept DCC Send requests.
- Now sends pertinent information to query windows, such as /nick and
/QUIT messages from that user, as well as CTCP and DCC messages.
