+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2.8.10 - dd/mm/yyyy
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ - Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
+  * Added two new options to hook_print, run_after_event and filter. See
+    documentation for details.
+  * When building on Windows, generate the name of the DLL for the Perl
+    library based on information from the header files instead of hardcoding
+	 the value.
+  * Fixed a bug in the reinit handling code. The bug prevented the plugin from
+    cleaning up properly. Which includes unloading scripts and removing
+	 their GUI entries.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2.8.8 - 30/May/2010
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Made balloon time adjustable via /set input_balloon_time (Nicoleau Fabien).
+ - Fixed a crash in the /SET command if a boolean value was loaded from config
+   file that isn't set to 0 or 1.
+ - Added -on and -off parameters to the /SET command. This can be used to set
+   bits, for example gui_tweaks.
+ - Made scrolling backwards for the search window act better (Richard Hitt).
+ - [2045483] Made ESC key close the search window (Richard Rowell).
+ - Improved the reconnect logic. If a network is already open but disconnected,
+   it'll now get re-used if you use the Network List and connect to that same
+   network.
+ - Improved scrollback reloading speed significantly (Soeren Sandmann Pedersen).
+ - [2957047] Handle CTCPs when IDmsg is used correctly (Lian Wan Situ).
+ - [2987626] Allow /GHOST's password arg to be optional (Ori Avtalion).
+ - Added networks: 7-indonesia, ChattingAway, GeekShed, TURLINet.
+ - When switching tabs, make the treeview only scroll if the selected item
+   isn't visible [treeview-less-jumping.diff] (Brian Evans).
+ - Selecting an item in the nickmenu will now copy it to clipboard (Alex
+   Kutepow).
+ - New icons for notification area (systray): file offer, message and highlight
+   (Brian Evans).
+ - Defined a comparison routine for contexts in Python (Brian Evans).
+ - For the auto-join command, added an 'x' filler for empty keys. This works
+   around a bug in ircd-seven.
+ - When a single channel MODE changes, xchat will no longer re-issue a MODE
+   request for the titlebar display, but figure the new modes intelligently
+   (Brian Evans).
+ - Various text event changes (Brian Evans):
+   1. Added "Private Action", "Private Action to Dialog", "SSL Message".
+   2. Added "Identified text" parameter all the 'action' events.
+   3. Added a $3 parameter to "Server Text".
+ - Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
+  * Fixed a bug that resulted in timer hooks being leaked because
+    "return REMOVE" from a timer callback was not unhooking like it was
+    supposed to
+  * Reverted the unintentional change to how the server argument of print()
+    and command() is interepreted when it is undef
+  * Add hook_fd to the 'hooks' export tag
+  * Fixed a leak in XS_Xchat_get_list(Vincent Pit)
+  * Change Xchat::register so that scripts calling it without a name or
+    version will still show up in the plugins and scripts window.
+  * Added calls to PERL_SYS_INIT3 and PERL_SYS_TERM which are required on
+    some platforms
+  * Added some additional guards to prevents bits of scripts from spilling
+    into each other
+  * Added "modes", "win_ptr" and "xchatdirfs" to the list of keys that are
+    returned by context_info()
+  * Changed the information displayed in the "Plugins & Scripts" for scripts
+    that do not call register() to show up as "" for the name and description
+    and "unknown" for the version
+  * /reloadall will now reload scripts in the same order they were loaded
+  * Make xchat_send_modes available as Xchat::send_modes
+  * Add support for getting the network list using Xchat::get_list( "networks" )
+  * Xchat::strip_code will now strip off ANSI escape codes as well
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2.8.6 - 11/Jun/2008
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated translations (de, fi, fr, hu, lt, nb, ru, th, zh_CN).
+ - Fixed creation of ~/.xchat2/scrollback/ paths (xc284-scrollbmkdir.diff).
+ - Fixed a leak of file descriptors related to the scrollback feature
+   (resource leak) (xc284-fix-scrollbfdleak.diff).
+ - Stopped scrollback files growing too large by fixing the file-shrink code.
+ - Put a "Display scrollback from previous session" into the Setup GUI
+   (logging section) so people can turn this off without typing commands.
+ - Made /away work even when the reason setting is empty.
+ - Using /part on a channel that contains a quotation mark now works [1800855].
+ - Changed the default encoding to "IRC" (CP1252/Unicode Hybrid) for both Unix
+   and Windows.
+ - Fixed a possible Channel List crash if you searched many times while the
+   download was still going.
+ - Fixed alert balloons failing if the text contained "<" characters [1827629].
+ - The Drag&Drop files to userlist feature has been enabled again.
+ - Removed the /set tab_icons setting and made it automatic (see FAQ for more
+   info about icons).
+ - Fixed a bug in creating files (save channel list, rawlog etc) that would set
+   the wrong permissions.
+ - Added command line argument --command=COMMAND which can be used in
+   conjuction with --existing (E.K.L.). This sends any xchat command to an
+   existing (running) client.
+ - A private SSL key/certificate can now be loaded from ~/.xchat2/client.pem.
+ - The Alerts settings now accept wildcards, instead of partitial string match
+   [1807563].
+ - Changing away status during reconnect/disconnect will now remember it.
+ - You can now change your Away/Back status (all networks) in the tray menu. 
+ - Favorite Channels / Auto-Join-List management:
+   * Network List window now has a "..." button to edit the auto-join-list in
+     a more friendly way.
+   * Channel(text area), Tree/Tab and Channel-List right-click menus now have a
+     "Add to Favorites" function.
+   * Previous limit of 300 bytes has been overcome. Now up to 2 KB worth of
+     channels/keys can be joined and it will be automatically split into
+     multiple lines, if necessary.
+   * Per-Channel settings now save to disk, including Logging and Scrollback
+     settings.
+   * /ChanOpt has been re-worked to be more like /Set.
+ - 'hostname:port' syntax is now accepted, if it's not an IPv6 address.
+ - The Userlist right-click menu now has icons and an option to add to friends
+   list. If you've edited this menu before you'll still get the old one. To get
+   the new one delete ~/.xchat2/popup.conf while XChat isn't running.
+ - ~/.xchat2/startup.txt is now loaded on launch (like /LOAD -e). Put any
+   commands you want executed at startup here.
+ - The lag-o-meter now has a full scale of 1.0 seconds.
+ - libnotify is now opened directly instead of using 'notify-send' to open
+   tray/balloon alerts.
+ - Added support for QuakeNet's /AUTH for nick password, when numeric 005
+   NETWORK=QuakeNet is detected.
+ - You can now copy with IRC attributes and mIRC colors if CTRL key is down
+   when a selection is finished (on mouse release). This replaces the old
+   "Color paste" feature.
+ - Added a 'compact' flag to gui_tweaks. This'll make the userlist and tree
+   spacing smaller. E.g. type /set -or gui_tweaks 32 and restart to turn it on.
+ - The /CLEAR command takes a number as paramater (how many lines to clear).
+ - When there's missing information in the Userlist right-click menu, it'll
+   issue a silent /WHOIS and fill it in. This includes retrieving a person's
+   away-reason.
+ - Perl (Lian Wan Situ)
+  * /reloadall will now reload all the scripts that are currently load instead
+    of simply reruning the autoload routine
+  * gtk/glib/gdk errors and warnings have been redirected back to stderr so
+    they will no longer show up in the text box as a result of having the Perl
+	 plugin loaded
+  * Check if the user has perl 5.6 instead of 5.8 and give an warning dialog
+    if they do (Peter Zelezny)
+  * Changed timer callbacks so that they are executed in the context that they
+    were created in
+  * Modified Xchat::print and Xchat::command to accept array references in
+    addition to strings for the channel and server parameters
+ - Plugin API:
+  * xchat_emit_print() will now trigger Sound, Blink, Icon etc type events,
+    depending on user's settings. 
+  * Fixed a bug where not all 32 elements were available in word[]/word_eol[].

+   drawn as a underline.

+ - When you hide the userlist using the View menu, the resize handle now
+   disappears too. It also disappears when you have a server tab in focus.
+ - If you have a tree on one side and userlist on the other, they'll both now
+   have a resize handle, previously the tree's size was fixed.
+ - The userlist can be hidden and shown with CTRL+F7.
+ - [1735116] Channel List's minimum users spin-button can now be set downward
+   even on networks that sent a list of channels of only a larger size. In this

+   list.
+ - Changing the channel switcher type (Tree or Tabs) is also possible in the
+   setup dialog.
+ - The Ban List window now lists exceptions too (mode +e).

+   /NICKSERV or /NS method. #1655733.

+ - Brand new channel list window: GtkTreeView, nicer layout, less CPU power

+ - Overhauled URL opening on Unix, it now tries xdg-open first, then auto-
+   detects Gnome or KDE to run gnome-open or kfmclient. URLs with quotes
+   should also work now (changed to execv()).
+ - Settings: Warn the user when trying to put the tree on the top/bottom.
+ - Fixed DCC ack reading so it doesn't use MSG_PEEK.
+ - Channel modes are no longer shown in the titlebar if they contain a key.

+   settings window (e.g use it after /set). Mainly for scripters.
+ - Allow changing the logging folder if the log filename is set to a full path
+   in the settings window (starts with a '/').
+ - Added 'Your Action' text event.
+ - Separated out /away and /back commands so it's obvious what they'll do.
+ - Changes to /MENU command (See plugin20.html for details):

+   userlist icons for ops, voice etc and get the plain text @+ (in
+   Setup->Interface). Might be useful for ircd's that have weird
+   and wacky access levels.
+ - Added support for WATCH command for use in notify list. Numeric 005
+   must list WATCH for this to work.
+ - Added an extra arg $3 for channel message printevents. This is the
+   prefix char of the person talking, e.g. '@' for Ops.
+ - Resolve irc-server name only if using a non-socks4 proxy. This
+   allows you to connect even with a non-working dns. Also made the
+   socks5 code more "correct" (Richard Fuchs).
+ - Some code cleanups, got rid of most of the extern functions in c
+   files and moved them to h files.
+ - Perl has a valid context at startup again (broken in 1.7.4).
+ - Fixed leak of awaymessages for "Show away once" feature.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.5
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fixed some buggy catalogs for gettext 0.10.37 (OpenBSD users).
+   Compiling with 0.10.35 will now break, there's always
+   ./configure disable-nls.
+ - Fixed python autoloading due to new serverlistcode (Richard Fuchs).
+ - Made perl/python/plugins autoload when first irc window is open
+   (rather than when serverlist opens), incase they need to print.
+ - Changed serverlist opening behaviour. It now obays the
+   'No ServerList on startup' setting regardless of auto-connects.
+ - Fixed buggy Quit menu item (1.7.4 bug).
+ - DCC cleanups, including some endian fixes.
+ - DCC windows don't go to front when new xfers appear (1.7.3 bug).
+ - Rewrites to a few vital xtext functions. This seems to have speed
+   up rendering with a FontSet and fix the -/+1 line bug.
+ - Fixed Shelltab not opening sometimes (actually a 1.7.4 ipv6 bug).
+ - Added ability to change font for Shelltabs only:
+   /set font_shell <fontname>
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.4
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - On startup, serverlist now opens without any other windows, looks
+   neater, less confusing for newbies. If you disable serverlist at
+   startup, a normal irc will open instead.
+ - Made a few things more userfriendly, "DCC Send" -> "File Send". No
+   need to refer to the protocol in the GUI!
+ - Fixed a xtext bug rendering a background color of 1 incorrectly.
+ - Unprintable characters used to cause problems to xtext (who would
+   have thought gdk_char_width returns a different value to
+   gdk_text_width?) - fixed.
+ - xtext renders only once when switching tabs (used to render twice
+   because gtk gives us 2 expose signals, why?).
+ - When you change your nick it changes in the titlebar now too.
+   Server name is now reported in dialog windows' titlebar.
+ - Having Strip mIRC Color ON will now strip it from dcc chats too.
+ - Added (really this time) perl functions add_user_list,
+   sub_user_list, clear_user_list for manipulating the userlist of a
+   channel (Lloyd Williams).
+ - Various code cleanups, including a rewrite of the IPv6 code.
+   Removed /6server and 'Use IPv6' check-box in the serverlist. It
+   automatically handles IPv6/IPv4 addresses now.
+ - Added a check-box in the serverlist edit window for "Use Proxy".
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.3
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Added server hostname as $3 for quit print event (Bjorn Olievier).
+ - Some fixes to the gnomepanel code. Panel no longer asks to restart
+   applet on quit, removing the applet doesn't exit xchat (George).
+ - Fixed fd leaks in /exec and python (Richard Fuchs).
+ - user@host gets logged in query windows (Richard Fuchs).
+ - Fixed the 'Marked Away' & 'Save Settings on exit' check menu items
+   (when using --disable-gnome).
+ - Workaround for ipv6 build failing on some glibcs (Tobias von Koch).
+ - DCC won't try to resume if local file is bigger than remote offer.
+ - Fixed xtext drawing/wordwrap and textmarking bugs.
+ - Horizontal scrollbar appears in channellist window when needed.
+ - Fixed color paste. Does this affect multibyte pasting? Please
+   report (Darell Tan).
+ - Fixed titlebar text for notices/snotices tabs.
+ - The topic box gets a tooltip of the current topic.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.2
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fixed some Python mem leaks and signal/event handlers can now
+   return non-null integer to tell xchat to stop processing the event
+   (like perl handling functions) (Richard Fuchs).
+ - Got rid of the Linger timeout. This was a lame solution to stop the
+   loss of QUIT messages when closing the socket too early. Now xchat
+   just delays closing sockets by 5 seconds (even on quiting the app).
+   No more 1 second delay when you close a tab or the whole app!
+ - Fixed some memory leaks in the banlist window.
+ - Added 'B' channel-mode button to access the banlist.
+ - Added Turkish translation (Ozgur Dogan GUNES).
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - Fixed the throttle setting (which was reversed! who did that?).
+ - Added IRC::notify_list. (Matthew Gabeler-Lee).
+ - Don't crash when bind fails for dcc send.
+ - Don't send garbage to server when ban_type is invalid.
+ - Rewrote a whole heap of bad code in maingui.c. When opening a new
+   tab/window it always uses the same functions instead of having the
+   code repeated a few times. This is pretty big so expect some things
+   to break. This also means dcc/chanlist etc tabs get the < > buttons
+   too.
+ - /KICKBAN now deops users first (Tobias von Koch).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.1
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Turning off server tabs should work again (1.7.0 bug).
+ - Some ipv6 fixes.
+ - Added a few TextEvents that used to be hardcoded.
+ - Updated jcode (Takuo Kitame).
+ - Fixed possible crash in palette window (1.7.0 bug).
+ - Rewrote the EscapeCode->mIRC color conversion for /exec.
+ - Added option to explicitly set your dcc IP (Jim Seymour).
+ - Added Opera and w3m to default URL Handlers.
+ - New serverlist/window icon - just for a change.
+ - Updated Korean translation (Kim SeungBaeck).
+ - Added hook_timeout to the XChat.XChat() python class so you can
+   XChat.XChat().hook_timeout(delay, handler). It is a one time
+   function like the perl version (Donald Kjer).
+ - /RECONNECT can now takes args like /SERVER, the difference
+   being that it'll rejoin all your channels (Angel).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.0
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated German translation (Benedikt Roth).
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - Updated Japanese translation (Takuo Kitame).
+ - Added Norwegian translation (Kjartan Maraas).
+ - Fix for bug in 1.4.x serverlist.conf loading.
+ - Away status and reason is re-send to the server if you get
+   disconnected (Daniel Rall).
+ - Added option to have one tab for notices, configurable under
+   Inferface/Window layout (Alex Badea).
+ - Added another meter component that measures the server send queue
+   from the throttle system (pref: throttlemeter), added UI support
+   for showing the lag and throttle as either progress bars, info
+   boxes, both, or none (Alex Badea).
+ - Added a command to flush the send queue (/FLUSHQ) and one for
+   forcing a new lag check (/LAGCHECK) (Alex Badea).
+ - Added option 'persist_chans', when ON once a session is created
+   for a channel, no other channel will be assigned to that session,
+   regardless of any parts or kicks (Alex Badea).
+ - Compile errors while loading a perl script are printed on the main
+   window. Warnings issued by perl scripts are also printed on the
+   main window. This allows script writers to use the perl command
+   'warn' to point out strange things. Perl errors no longer make
+   xchat crash. The error message is written on the main window and
+   the command execution is stopped (Frodo Baggins).
+ - Added IPv6 support for making server connections. See
+   ./configure --enable-ipv6 and /6SERVER command (\\bonxo\\@IRCnet).
+ - Added Banlist window (Salvatore Insalaco).
+ - You can now specify which dir ssl is in, e.g.: ./configure
+   --enable-openssl=/usr/local/ssl (Richard Fuchs).
+ - Added InterScan proxy traversal support (is this the correct name
+   for this proxy? Looks like a httpd proxy to me) (Alex Riesen).
+ - Added Japanese code conversion support, see ./configure
+   --enable-japanese-conv (Takuo Kitame).
+ - xtext: smooth (pixel-based) scrolling.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.6.4
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fix for using a DCC port range (Lawrence Gold).
+ - Fix for building on UnixWare 7 (Ronald Joe Record).
+ - Added Chinese translations - zh_TW.Big5 and zh_CN (Kevin Peng and
+   Anthony Fok Tung-Ling).
+ - Added Finnish translation (Jarkko Ranta).
+ - Revamped the default URLHandlers to add Galeon and Mozilla.
+ - Clicking Accept on a DCC chat that you offered would loop - fixed.
+ - Fixed percentage display for DCC receive (Matthew Gabeler-Lee).
+ - Fixed bug in indent and timestamps (Dmitriy Zavin).
+ - Fixed crash bug in xchat-text and DCC send being aborted remotely.
+ - Made /lastlog more efficient for very large scrollback buffers.
+ - Beep on private actions too (Richard Fuchs).
+ - /MSG'ing a channel or nick will show up in the destination tab
+   instead (Richard Fuchs).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.6.3
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - Right-click toggle menu items used to crash under gnome (bug in
+   gnome-libs?) - work around.
+ - xtext: Efficiency improvements: text mark, word and line select.
+ - xtext: fixes for multibyte characters (UNO Takeshi).
+ - Fixed bug in resizing a tinted-transparent window (deb bug #79674).
+ - Some OS2 compilation fixes (pla).
+ - Fixed PONG parsing (Stefano Barbato).
+ - Fixed a leak of file descriptors.
+ - Fixed /ALLSERV.
+ - Fixed /BAN to replace ~ with * in username (Stefan Scholl).
+ - Fixed /ME through DCC CHAT while not connected to server (#81031).
+ - Work-around for UnrealIRCd's duplicate /NAMES bug.
+ - Fixed DCC receiving filenames with spaces.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.6.2
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - xtext: Fixed the mark-clear bug (gnome bug #34584).
+ - Updated German translation (Tamer Fahmy).
+ - Commas are replaced with %2c in URLs, as to not confuse poor old
+   Netscape (deb bug #70905).
+ - Bluestring to 300 chars (deb bug #79138).
+ - Added option /SET percascii, which can disable/enable translation
+   of %XXX into an ascii value while typing (deb bug #76122).
+ - New hotkey hook: key_action_put_history. Only inserts line into
+   history, but doesn't send it to the server (DaP).
+ - Lots of SSL updates:
+   * Make accept_invalid_cert optional on /sslserver (DaP).
+   * Print verbose information of SSL session on connect (DaP).
+   * Clean up code at X509_V_ERR_DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT checking
+     (DaP).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.6.1
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - xtext: Fixed lockup with certain sized fonts.
+ - xtext: Made some changes to improve efficiency when using really
+   large scrollback buffers (only noticable when doublebuffer off).
+ - Fixed a bug in /help crashing on longer than 10 char UserCommands.
+ - Fixed autoreconnect while using a proxy server.
+ - Never-give-up ReConnect does just that (even more so than before :)
+ - Fixed the channelmode buttons mouse-over problem.
+ - Fixed percentage display for large files in dcc recv/send gui.
+ - StartTime in dcc chat gui no longer Jan 1 1970.
+ - Fixed DCC send behind IP-Nat (Bernhard Valenti)
+   <bernhard.valenti@gmx.net>.
+ - Added Lithuanian translation (Gediminas Paulauskas).
+ - The < > buttons arn't shown for non-tab windows (Aaron Lehmann).
+ - Fixed the (-1,-1) transparency problem for non-tab windows.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.6.0
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - xtext: More efficient handling of expose events, text marking and
+   url highlighting when double buffer is OFF.
+ - xtext: Fixed a very rare bug that could cause BadGC errors or the
+   separator bar not to be drawn.
+ - Fixed crash in right-clicking URLs in the URL Grabber window.
+ - If Check-For-Replace is in the keybindings for Return, it'll
+   actually work again.
+ - USER login command now sends your nodename instead of 'localhost'
+   to please some IRCNet servers.
+ - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.11
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated Slovak translation (Stano Visnovsky).
+ - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
+ - Updated Greek translation (Fanis Dokianakis).
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - If Never-Give-Up Reconnect is ON, it won't give up on DNS failer.
+ - '/me is back' is sent again when Announce Away Messages is ON.
+ - If channelmode buttons were OFF and you joined a channel with a
+   userlimit xchat would crash - fixed.
+ - /sslserver's password arg. is now optional (Daniel Richards).
+ - SSL accepts self signed certs (Daniel Richards).
+ - Fixed the unnecessary window resizes when opening a new tab.
+ - Changed the tinting code a bit (thanks gnapster :). 
+ - Transparent shell tabs update too when they are moved.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.10
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Added "Enable double buffer" toggle in Setup->Channel windows.
+ - Double buffer is now OFF by default (seems to use less CPU).
+ - Timestamps didn't turn ON while indent was OFF - fixed.
+ - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
+ - Added some extra text events: Channel Msg hilight, Channel
+   Action hilight (near top of the list). No more cardcoded color
+   codes! Also hilighting in actions works, and you can make the whole
+   message hilighted if you change the event text.
+ - Initial window size is actually set to your settings (this will
+   never be perfect I guess, sometimes to the window still resizes
+   itself without warning).
+ - Hidemenubar setting didn't work properly for non-tabs and when
+   delinking windows - fixed.
+ - Notices appear in front tab even when server tabs are enabled.
+ - Changed Away behaviour again. No more /back, /away with no args
+   brings you back. The menu-item's state is what the server tells
+   it, it even changes when you switch tabs to another server. Xchat
+   assumes you are not away when you first connect. irc::get_info(5)
+   returns the away state. One day the other UserModes menu items will
+   show correct states. Is everyone happy now?
+ - Translation tables didn't work for outgoing text - fixed.
+ - Cleaned up a few xchat.conf names, a few settings may not load up
+   from 1.5.9 - just set them again.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.9
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - Added Hebrew translation (Dan Fruehauf).
+ - Fixed crash bug when partreason was not set.
+ - Dialog tabs obay the hidetopicbar setting now too (the one in the
+   right-click menu).
+ - Cleaned up the settings gui: the whole window is more compact now,
+   some toggles in two columns, numbers use a spin-button, entry boxes
+	are larger and option-menus are more consistant.
+ - The "o=xx v=xx t=xx" display is finally changed.
+ - Changed most of xtext.c to use gdk instead of Xlib.
+ - Added configure option:
+        --disable-xlib    disable use of xlib (for non X11 systems)
+   This might help compile xchat on other GTK supported systems like
+   BeOS and Win32 (havn't tried it though).
+ - Neater /set list.
+ - You can now set a nickname per server (see serverlist edit window).
+ - Changed the behaviour of /away and added /back (James Crawford).
+ - Away reason can now be a text file of random reasons too.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.7 -> 1.5.8
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
+ - Updated Greek translation (Dokianakis Fanis).
+ - Updated German translation (Tamer Fahmy).
+ - Added Catalan translation (Pablo Saratxaga).
+ - Added option "Always timestamp logs" which timestamps log files
+   even if on-screen timestamps are off (Mike Guidero).
+ - Added entry "Part Reason: ". Also part and quit reasons can be
+   a filename of random reasons (filename relative to ~/.xchat/).
+ - Took out /unban as a internal command, add it as a usercommand
+   /quote MODE %c -b &2 instead.
+ - Added a text event for banlist. Try /banlist and it'll be a bit
+   more readable now.
+ - Changed output throttle system (undernet style) (Alex Badea).
+ - Added 1 second linger socket option to stop QUIT msgs from being
+   lost (they still get lost sometimes, why?).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.6 -> 1.5.7
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fixed transparency-leak problems in 1.5.6
+ - New code to create shaded transparency, taken from latest zvt.
+   (is it better?)
+ - URL handlers are now executed without a shell.
+   (http://www.securityfocus.com/vdb/bottom.html?vid=1601)
+ - Fixed a bug in xchat.conf and serverlist.conf loading.
+ - When spliting msgs (longer than the IRC 512 limit), it used to
+   loose some chars - fixed.
+ - Added feature to choose DCC port range            (Lars Sundqvist).
+ - Fixed perl-stack overflow probs in irc::userlist() and others.
+   Added perl functions user_list_short() and perl_script_list()
+                                                       (Mike Guidero).
+ - MHz is now detected on FreeBSD 4.x/5.x           (Jonathan Perkin).
+ - It's now possible to "/dcc close chat nick" within a DCC perl
+   input handler without crashing xchat.         (Geoffrey Higginson).
+ - Fixed a problem with the usermenu not updating sometimes.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.5 -> 1.5.6
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Added option pingtimeout, which pings the server instead. 
+   /set pingtimeout 90 is default (small values will malfunction).
+   You also need the lagometer enabled for this to work.
+ - No longer using fnmatch() for ignore etc (because the way it
+   handles [ and ]). Using function from ircu2.10.08.
+ - Some fixes to code & configure.in to make it compile using
+   Solaris C (Albert Chin).
+ - New Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre).
+ - New Russian translation (Alex Samorukov).
+ - New Hungarian translation (Horvath Szabolcs).
+ - Added Portuguese translation (Vitor Antunes).
+ - Added Slovak translation (Martin Pekar).
+ - Added /allserv <cmd> and /allchan <cmd>. They send a command to
+   all currently connected servers and joined channels. Also added
+   usercommands /ame and /amsg which make use of this.
+ - Added sock5 traversal, see Setup->Proxy Server (Alex Badea).
+   (The numbers for proxy_type are now 0=disabled, 1=wingate,
+    2=socks4, 3=socks5).
+ - A few more buffer overflow checks (nick & channel length).
+ - Mapped mIRC color 99 to "no background" (mIRC lame!).
+ - Some efficiency tweaks to xtext.
+ - Added SSL support (see --enable-openssl and /help server) (DaP).
+   This seems to be highly experimental, as I don't know of any IRC
+   servers that can do SSL yet.
+ - Changed history behaviour, more like GNU (DaP).
+   i.e. Doesn't wrap and the bottom line is blank.
+ - Added option "InputBox Always In Focus" (DaP).
+ - Added option "Show Nickgad" (DaP).
+ - Added option "Show invites in the active Window" (DaP).
+ - Added option "Send /Whois" in notifies section, which sends a
+   /whois when someone comes online (DaP).
+ - Added an event for numeric 341, you inivited someone (DaP).
+ - Title bar text changed/improved a bit (DaP).
+ - Added actions for EditKeyBindings: MoveFrontTabLeft and
+   MoveFrontTabRight, like the <> buttons, but for keyboard (DaP).
+ - Implemented timeout events in the text frontend (Alex Badea and
+   fixed by me :).
+ - Dcc Recv/Send tabs won't resize the window when open.
+ - Added configure option --disable-glib.
+ - Transparent windows update when background changes (Aaron Lehmann).
+ - serverlist.conf is slightly changed! You WILL be able to load your
+   old 1.5.5 or 1.4.x server list, but older versions WON'T load lists
+   from 1.5.6, so backup your serverlist.conf if you need to.
+ 
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.4 -> 1.5.5
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fix for show/hide menu under gnome.
+ - Added -a and --noauto arg (don't auto connect to any servers).
+ - Added internal /list command, which sends the correct args according
+   to ircd type (it detects undernet and dalnet to send >0,<10000).
+   Remove any old /list usercommands you might have.
+ - /op /deop ... etc send up to six modes per line if using undernet.
+ - As discussed in the mailinglist, changed DCC resume to send and
+   expect to receive ACKs as an absolute, rather than an offset from
+   the resume point. It *should* work with mIRC now, but break with
+   old versions of xchat and probably BitchX.
+ - Added option "Limited Tab Highlighting" (Francis Litterio).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.3 -> 1.5.4
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Lack of gdk_pixbuf is detected correctly now (configure script).
+ - textmarking is no longer a timeout event, is this better or worse?
+ - Added Turkish translation (Fatih Demir).
+ - Added Russian translation (Valek Filippov).
+ - Added Ukrainian translation (Yuri Syrota).
+ - Added configure option --disable-zvt. Also, zvt shell tab can be
+   compiled in even without gnome (and is by default, if gnome-config
+   can be found to provide the LDFLAGS).
+ - Added "Delete Word Forward" function in Edit Key Bindings. Bind
+   this to Alt-d for that emacs feel (Francis Litterio). 
+ - Ping times show one extra decimal place.
+ - You can now hide the menubar too, click left mouse in the text area
+   to get a popup version of the menu (middle mouse in dialogs).
+ - Added the proxy settings to the GUI, Setup->IRC->Proxy Server.
+ - Added a keyword TOGGLE for usermenu. Delete your old usermenu.conf
+   to see the new default one.
+ - Configure script now cleans up the CFLAGS & LDFLAGS (removes
+   duplicate words), let's hope this doesn't break on some boxses.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.2 -> 1.5.3
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fixed a rare overflow bug in auto_insert().
+ - Pressing OK in the settings window on slow machines (p233?) was
+   pretty slow, maybe it's faster now.
+ - Corrected some inputgad behaviour (Aaron Lehmann).
+ - Fix for 64bit machines (alpha) in xtext (word clicks).
+ - Updated German translation (Benedikt Roth).
+ - Updated Danish translation (Birger Langkjer).
+ - If you disconnect (/discon, /quit...) a server during the reconnect
+   delay, it is actually removed now.
+ - Added option "Give the userlist style" (DaP).
+ - Translation tables support can be turned off (--disable-trans), for
+   you minimalist freaks.
+ - Added Hebrew support, compile time: --enable-hebrew, run time:
+   /set hebrew 0/1 (Dan Aloni).
+ - Added new setting, "nick completion character" (Francis Litterio).
+ - Added new setting, "Old-style Nickname Completion", which makes it
+   act much like 1.4.x (Francis Litterio).
+ - Added "Delete Word" function to EditKeyBindings (Francis Litterio).
+ - Now using gdk-pixbuf for decoding pictures and tinted transparency.
+	(Tints don't seem to work 100% yet). (Andreas Persenius).
+ - Added halfop support (mode +h). This includes support in the
+   userlist, /hop, /dehop, /mdehop and new textevents (Elizandro G. Roos).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - --disable-gnome should work again.
+ - Fixed a bug in right-click nick menu.
+ - Should compile with glibc 2.1.3 (no more 'struct user' errors).
+ - Added Romanian translation (Dan Damian).
+ - CTCP flood protection won't kick in for ACTIONs.
+ - Removed the theme code.
+ - Made pixmaps.c, all code to decode/free/etc pixmaps is in here.
+ - WM_HINTS icon is set for the app.
+ - Removed the "-c" flag (it's automatic now).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.5.0 -> 1.5.1
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Shell tabs are now delinkable.
+ - Added a "show/hide topic bar" button (bottom right), I didn't know
+   where else to put this.
+ - Hidding the userlist is saved and any new tabs/windows open will
+   have the userlist hidden.
+ - You can now turn off/on perl warnings with /set perlwarnings 0/1.
+ - Tab-key nick completion even more like GNU readline (Gerard Daubar).
+ - Rewrote the function that handles %variables in userlist buttons,
+   user commands and ctcp replies (all use the same function now),
+   please report any bugs (especially if someone can overflow you from
+   remote ;) - as a consequence, you can use % and & (word/word_eol)
+   for ctcp replies now. Also added %m for machine info.
+ - Nickname-popup-menu, URLmenu and Usermenu all use the same code now
+   (it means you can make submenus in all 3).
+ - Double eval back in perl.c
+ - Dialogs/querys also have a toolbox button (just for consistancy).
+ - Added lagometer (/set lagometer 0 to turn it off), this isn't quiet
+   finished yet (and doesn't work on IRCNet because it refuses to
+   reply to pings correctly).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.4.2 -> 1.5.0
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Some changes & cleanups to the parser code (inbound/outbound).
+ - Ran all source through indent, using:
+           indent -bli0 -bls -ce -ts3 -i3
+    (please use this in your patches, I used GNU indent 2.2.4).
+ - If you send a message (channel or query window) longer than 512
+   bytes (maximum allowed by the ircd) it will be split into two
+   smaller messages instead of being truncated.
+ - Some gui touchups and changes.
+ - You can now enable/disable the output throttle with /set throttle.
+ - Added /timer.
+ - Overhauled the ChannelList window (Joshua Gough).
+ - Added proxy traversal support for socks and wingate, no gui yet so
+   use /set proxy_host, proxy_port, proxy_type (1=socks, 2=wingate).
+ - Added /userlist.
+ - Opaque-window-move used to be slow on some windowmanagers even
+   with transparency turned off - fixed.
+ - Tab-key completion is more like GNU readline (Wes Peters).
+ - Now possible to use modules in perl scripts (Andreas Scherbaum).
+ - irc::get_info(4) returns the current xchat dir (Mike Guidero).
+ - Added irc::get_prefs() (returns a /set variable) (Leo Cacciari).
+ - /set <wildcard> is now possible.
+ - Added Show-Userhost-in-Userlist option (Nicolas Dimitrijevic).

+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.4.1 -> 1.4.2
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Compilation fixes for IRIX (David Kaelbling).
+ - Compilation fixes for AIX (Rodrigo Barbosa).
+ - Compilation fixes for OpenBSD.
+ - Should now compile with certain beta/alpha versions of Perl.
+ - "Scrollbar snapping to top" bug fixed.
+ - Corrected some text marking behaviour.
+ - Made use of fnmatch(), if available (for chanlist, ignore etc).

+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.4.0 -> 1.4.1
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could make new text not appear while marking text.
+ - xtext: Further improved performance when double buffering is turned
+          off (marking text & URL hilights are almost flicker free).
+ - xtext: Double buffer is now freed at each render operation, this
+          should reduce memory usage if you have many tabs open.
+ - If you closed a server while it was in the reconnect-delay, xchat
+   would crash - fixed.
+ - No more zombies when doing /discon while connection in progress.
+ - Added "/clear all" command (Paul de Regt).
+ - Hilights only work on full word matches now (Brendan O'Dea).
+ - Some Solaris compilation fixes (David Morgan).
+ - Danish translation updated (Birger Langkjer).
+ - Italian translation updated (Stefano Fava).
+ - Greek translation added (Fanis Dokianakis).
+ - Dutch translation upated (Arjan Scherpenisse).
+ - Removed some very old translations: fr_CA, no, pl, ru and sv.
+   (If someone wants to update these, you're welcome to).
+ - Channel mode "+h nick" (half Op) is now reported correctly (still
+   not supported in the userlist though).
+ - Having indent nicks OFF in channel windows and ON in dialog windows
+   didn't work - fixed.
+ - Sometimes ignores wouldn't save - fixed.
