wIRCdAdvanced 1.2 - Changes:

- Fixed bot's nick, in 1.2 the bots all had the same nick, so if you linked
2 servers together, it would kill one.. there is about a 1 in a million shot
of that now.

- Added bot menus, where you can re-add an O: line if you remove it.

- fixed in about box, it saying wircd Plus instead of advanced, I am working on two
wircds, plus is my other one.

- Added bot.connect; to close dialog box, where if the user clicks cancel it will
reconnect.

- Cleaned up some sloppy code, load faster(?) - I had alot of onCreate events which
basically means when you start the program it does it, and I didnt need to have it there
things such as loading the config file for the editor and so on, this also created a problem
with the config file not being fresh when you viewed it, this was fixed.

- fixed bug in 'start' in file menu.


wIRCdAdvanced 1.3 - Changes:

- Apr. 11 '00 -

- The 'Send raw data' in the bot menu can be used now, just be careful not to
send something like QUIT to it, because that will mess up the server.

- Disabled menu 'Extra' and menu items File->Restart, Bot->Reconnect if needed,
and Bot->Send raw data - the reason I disabled them is because if the server isnt running
then there is no need for 'em, they are enabled when you start the server.

- Possible problem? When a user disconnects from the net, it gives api errors, or just me?
email me at [e-mail] plz.

- Changed the 'Add Port' feature from a 'form' to a dialog box - it was a waste of space.

- By suggestion - centered forms and made them 'stay on top' such as config file editor
and so on.

- Added 6 new datafiles to the website, these include: twilight - terrax and RelicNet
I tried to make a datafile from Unreal 2.1.4 but the wircd I made it from was screwed, so
unless someone finds me a working one, there wont be one.
And with that note, i'll add them to the get new datafile feature, but i'm gonna
 change that to a pull down menu (tommorrow?), so it can be updated easier,
and also take less file space.

- Apr. 12 '00 -

- Added a function to make sure the bot's O: line is there, only one setback:
it MUST be on line 15 in the config file, if it's not then it will move the old line
15 to the end, and add it. so make sure you keep it at 15...

- Removed 'Readd bot's O: line' from bot menu - since the server checks for it on startup
it wasnt needed. If you remove it while the server is running, then click on config file
it checks when it opens also, but note you'll need to restart the server after adding it
this way.

- Apr. 13 '00 -

- Made the 'Get new datafile' button invoke the web browser and load the downloads
page on the site, this insures you get the newest list/wircds.

- Checks for wircd.data file on startup - if its not there then the Start Server
buttons are disabled and instructions on how to get one are shown.

- Apr. 14 '00 -

- Removed the 'ServerIP' field from the make new config file - no need for it.

- Added a server debug window, though mainly for programmers and such, defenatly worth
looking at for server problems.. it's accessable from Extras->Server Debug Window.
(Server must be running!)

- Changed the wIRCd Advanced text in the main window - I know, nothing really special about
that but oh well.

- Fixed 'cancel' button on confirm close dialog, if the server wasnt running and the user
clicked cancel then it would give a socket error trying to reconnect the bot.

- Added function to delete the ircd.pid file on close - I hate those files. they have
no purpose.

- Apr. 15 '00 -

- Updated about window and added credits to it.

- Discovered wircd advanced will not run wircd2000 because wircd2000 uses a wircd.ini
file instead of ircd.conf.

- Apr. 16 '00 -

- Began work on the wircd2000 release, finished it except for 1 error, but its simple enough
 to fix..

- fixed mistake in MOTD window, where it saying ircd.conf config file editor.

- Apr. 19 '00 -

- wIRCdAdvanced 2.0 begins.

- Changed about window, added seperate window with credits. (See Help->Credits..)

- Apr. 20 '00 -

- Started coding on an advertising bot, it connects to the DALnet IRC Network, and every
30 minutes shows a message with your IP in it. a sample of whats to come. (See extra menu)

- Apr. 21 '00 -

- Removed advertising bot, caused errors with wircdA.. will re-add later today, or tommorrow
to a different form.

- Apr. 26 '00 -

- Began a new GUI design for 2.0, I started to dislike the black color of it,
it didn't match once I changed my windows colors. :-)

- May 22 '00 -

- No updates for a while, had computer problems, and so on.. got it all fixed and releasing
2.0 full tommorror (?).

- Added an ASCii art button in the edit motd window.

- Added new 'tray' feature, now shows an icon while wircda is running.

- Added a 'Connect to #wircd@DALnet' option in help menu, using this will connect ya
 and make you join.

=-= 2.60 CHANGES =-=:

Uh Oh! it looks as if I forgot to include 2.50 changes =/

Well, 2.60 changes are as follows:
tons of bug fixes. We fixed all known bugs, now you can find new ones
for me!
Changed the look of the GUI.

Oct. 17 '00:
Fixed the killtask() bug, if the file name was anything besides
wircd.exe, it would give a ton of errors on close.
Oct. 18-28 '00:
Fixed a big bug, when you clicked on start server. it would activate
a timer to make the bot OPER, and even if it didn't successfully
oper, it would still enable the features.
It now connects, detects the right time to send the OPER command
and if it successfully opers, it enables the features it uses.

Renamed the 'Extras..' menu to 'Controls'.

Added a Who's connected feature, and also a server stats feature
both are on the 'Controls' menu.
(Server must be running to use anything on the Controls menu.)

October 28 '00:
wIRCd Advanced 2.60 FULL released.

--- 2.75 ---
On November 24' 00 we started 2.75, this will be a big release as well
because we're cleaning our code, hoping to make it faster, and fewer
bugs in the source, most of the code was written overnight as the
base, and is being modified.

Don't expect real detailed descriptions on this version.

- Started on a Pro series, this one will aim to higher-power computers
it will be more feature-detailed.
Added SKIN Abilities to Pro.

- Added a debugging system. wIRCd Advanced will not show error messages
anymore. in the past, it would display them if everything wasn't perfect
now, it's flexible. It also logs to a debug.log file, if you encounter
serious errors, send me this log at [e-mail].
