- asynchronous file I/O and threaded network handling. Supports Drag&Drop
- sending of files. Supports the "mIRC for Windows" DCC RESUME extension.
-
- o tranparent implementation of DCC CHAT. All /MSGs are automatically routed
- via DCC CHAT if applicable, to save runtime and reduce IRC load. Option
- to automatically accept DCC CHAT connections.
-
- o ultra fast text output and scrolling. Supports Cut&Paste for the list
- text. Supports proportional fonts.
-
- o internal CTCP flood and DCC bomb protection
-
- o full support of the "Undernet" IRC extensions, both reply codes and
- additional IRC commands.

- o supports nick notification, highliting, ignoring and kickban.
-
- o versatile event handling allows you to bind sound effects, auto-deiconify
- or rexx scripts to certain events.
-
- o server phonebook.
-
- o last nick history. Stores the nicknames of the last nicks you've send
- MSGs to, received MSGs from or addressed publically with "nick:".
- Reference can be used in all commands which require nick names, e.g. /MSG,

-
- Changes since version 1.1
- -------------------------
- (not complete)
-
- - fixed updating for DCC Receive pathes when the
- default receive path is changed
- - now filters mIRC color codes in display. They're still
- available in Rexx processing (in case you want to do
- a auto-kickban or stuff :)
- - increased DCC send delay timeout
- - added fixed version of WallChop.AMIRX
- - sounds were loaded (not played) via datatypes even if external player
- was configured
- - fixed missing argument to STM_PLAY in datatypes sound play
- - INVITE is now ignored by IGNORE PRIV, not IGNORE TEXT
- - modified behavior of VERSION command. If a nickname, not a server
- name, is given, it behaves like "CTCP VERSION"
- - DCC SEND/MOVE now show "stalled" status when no data
- has arrived in the last 5 seconds
- - DCC SEND now has a "Reoffer" button which resends the
- DCC offer for the currently selected DCC
- - when sending multiple files, a one second delay is now
- made between sending out each DCC offer, to avoid
- triggering server side flood protections.
- - "Connect thread" when no connection is established
- will no longer close the connect window and leave
- the first instance of AmIRC lingering around without
- any window open
- - added new rexx command: "PLAYSOUND FILENAME,EVENT/K/N".
- Argument is either a filename of a CTCP SOUND alike
- sound to be played; EVENT=num plays a predefined
- user defined event sound.
- - Abort connection now works properly when a server
- connection has been established, too.
- - CTCP SOUND trigger the DCC event, not the CTCP event.
- - DCCMSG events had the "from host" in passive DCC CHAT
- connections, which was broken
- - dcc windows opened active if opened a second time in
- a session
- - if "HandleFlood.amirx" is there, it will be called upon
- detecting a ctcp flood with the last line as a
- parameter. The internal ignore won't be set in that
- case.
- - DCC requests are no longer accounted for CTCP flood
- checking
- - message ignore will now ignore INVITEs as well
- - /DCC RESUME NICK without file spec worked like /DCC GET
- no matter what
- - fixed cps calculation for resume/move DCCs
- - fixed userhost database not updating to current userhost
- when not marked dirty beforehand
- - changed format of PING message. Now sends a 7 digit number.
- Reduces bandwidth waste and protects against clients which
- are picky on the format of PING requests they like to reply to.
- - DCC bomb protection now added to DCC CHAT, too
- - incoming DCC CHAT messages are now returned to the
- PRIVMSG event and via GETLINE as the special faked
- message "nick!nick@dcchost DCCMSG yournick :text",
- to allow processing.
- - added GETDCCRECEIVEDIR and GETCTCPSOUNDDIR
- functions. Guess what they do.
- - List prefs window crashed if aliases >255 bytes were
- defined.
- - DCC SEND requests with ports less than 1024 are
- now considered malformed (to protect against
- DCC bombs)
- - now handles incoming DCC TSEND requests
- (DCC SEND without acknowledge packets). Note
- that AmIRC's "normal" DCC is already sending
- data at maximum speed without waiting for ACK
- packets, so there's no speed loss when
- DCCing between two AmIRCs with "plain" DCC,
- although remaining 100% compatible with
- the ultra lame ircII or PC-Client DCC
- implementations). TSEND requests are marked
- with "T" in the DCC RECEIVE window.
- - fixed scrolling problem (occured when a list
- had to be scrolled for the first time and
- multi line text was to be added)
- - /DCC CLOSE without args returned an bogus error.
- - fixed problems with autojoining channels and "Connect thread"
- - now preconfigs tiny font to helvetica/9 if not set
- - fixed broken GETUSERS
- - added a "ยป Clipboard" button in the URL grabber window to
- send selected URL to the clipboard (in addition to
- double click)
- - fixed a longstanding bug in the list class which caused
- the initial scroll down to not happen under a certain
- funky combination of lines and output length
- - added "MATCHUERHOST" arexx commands, taking
- a userhost (or nick) and a pattern, returning 0
- for no match, 1 for match.
- - DisplayBeep() only events didn't work when a external sound
- player was configured
- - fixed the ARexx ECHO command to no longer interpret
- _fmt codes (%s et all)
- - fixed several of the ARexx command templates to
- actually require arguments and fail with a command
- parse error otherwise. Fixes enforcer orgy on "SAY", "RAW"
- etc. without args.
- - now runs PROGDIR:Rexx/Startup.amirx, /Shutdown.amirx and
- /Connected.amirx when available on startup, shutdown
- and established connection accordingly.
- - GETUSERS nuked if the total size of the result string
- exceeeded 2048 bytes
- - new arexx command "GETWINNUM #channelname" returns
- the win number of a channel
- - GETUSER, GETUSERS, GETSELECTEDUSER and GETUSERSTATE
- now accept CHANNEL=#channelname instead of a numeric
- window argument
- - added GETDCC rexx command. Returns 3 stem list:
- DCC.CHAT.x has "nick state hostname"
- DCC.SEND.x has "nick moveflag hostname state len cps filename"
- DCC.RECEIVE.x has the same as SEND
- - added /DCC RESUME command
- - added /DCC CLOSE command
- - fixed /DCC LIST state display
- - now automatically uppercases the first word of outgoing
- CTCP requests
- - now calls PROGDIR:Rexx/DCCDone.AmIRX (if available)
- with the "SEND|RECEIVE successcode nick filename" for
- any DCC post processing
- - list class used masked scrolling even on interlaced screens
- - changed calling of custom_amirx.ctcp to:
-
- Custom_CTCP.AmIRX command fromnick destination arguments
-
- where "destination" is either the destination channel or
- your own nickname.
- - changed IRC server login to overcome stupid efnet
- "bot" detection
- - server notices now again have "privmsg color"
- and trigger the NOTICE event
- - ARexx "ECHO" command now accepts optional
- paremeter "C=COL" specifying one of the
- user defined text colors.
- - minimum period for NOTIFY checks is now down to 20 seconds
- again.
- - topic buffer is now 256 chars
- - no longer changes topic string gadget's contents while
- it's active
- - fixed several broken cycle chains
- - fixed text marking problems with fixed fonts
- - fixed text marking problems with characters < 31
- which are not meaningful style commands
- - added "Info message window" which stores all
- all incoming server messages, mode changes etc..
- Option to "shanghai" server notices, wallops
- and incoming "basic" CTCP requests so they are
- only displayed inside this window.
- - changed display of server notices and ERROR
- commands to have the server name in [brackets]
- for clarity.

- responses

- time stamps delivered from servers
- - fixed responses for +v/-v on a different channel
- - removed "Server" from default string for channel window titles.
- - the "Connecting to..." window will now remain on screen
- until the connection process has successfully completed,
- unlike going away after the inititial connect() has been done.

- server overloads or other reasons AFTER connect().
- - changed strings for all topic response messages.
- - did another attempt in the "Fix Crash on Dialog Win
- Close" session
- - fixed potential crash when selecting menu AWAY while there
- was no connection.
- - fixed illminded reaction when WaitSelect() returned
- the reset handler IPC signal to be set (caused
- deadlocks with Miami users)

- auth port was in use during startup.
- - fixed potential crash on closing dialog and
- channel windows with close gadget
- - DCC windows now open inactive
- - added a custom CTCP handling hook: If PROGDIR:Rexx/Custom_CTCP.AmIRX"
- exists, it will be called for unknown CTCP requests with the
- following template:
- Custom_CTCP.AmIRX command fromnick arguments
- A check is done for dangerous shell escape characters.

- - added /MAP command and 005/007 messages
- - added /GLINE command and 280/281 messages
