+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		       Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
+
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+--|   X-Chat ChangeLog   |--------------------------------------------
+  `----------------------'
+
+To see more details of bugs, go to this URL:
+http://sf.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100239&group_id=239&aid=NUMBER
+Where "NUMBER" is the bug number.
+
+This log DOES NOT apply to XChat for Windows.
+
+There are always more changes than listed here, these are just the
+highlights. The full CVS log is available at www.xchat.org/cvslog/
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2.8.10 - dd/mm/yyyy
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ - Emit the Topic Change event before setting the topic internally so plugins
+   can access the old topic inside the callback.
+ - Add two options url_grabber and url_grabber_limit.
+   * url_grabber is a boolean for enabling/disabling the url grabber
+   * url_grabber_limit is an integer controlling the number of URLs the
+     URL Grabber will keep around. Setting it to 0 leaves it unlimited as in
+     previous versions.
+ - Fixed a bug with the URL Grabber where it fails to grab a URL if the URL
+   is the first thing in the message.
+ - Change /ignore <nick> to always add !*@* if <nick> does not contain ? or *
+ - 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.
+  * Remove the restriction on having only 1 package per script. Any inner
+    packages declared will also be unloaded when the script is unload. If
+    multiple script declare an inner package with the same name then unloading
+    or reloading one of those scripts will cause problems.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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[].
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2.8.4 - 01/Jul/2007
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated translations (cs, de, ko, mk, sv, vi).
+ - System-Tray balloons now get the xchat icon instead of a generic one.
+ - Fixed the notify-send zombies (released as xc282-fixtrayzombies.diff).
+ - Fixed underscore ('_') in real names in the nick-name right-click menu being

+   reset, fg changes to 2 and the comma is printed (Fuentes Xavier).
+ - xtext: a fix for multibyte text wrapping (Tetsuo YAMAMOTO).
+ - Made notify NOT announce everyone offline when you first login.
+ - Multiple WATCHes are sent on one line for notifies, to reduce lag.
+ - Added an internal /unban command which takes multiple masks. You
+   might want to remove the old usercommand (Tobias v. Koch). 
+ - Banlist window now sends multiple modes per line.
+ - Fixed a memory leak in perl (Martin Persson).
+ - Removed the tooltip for userlistinfo, it seemed to cause corruption
+   on some gtk+ themes.
+ - Made xchat not interpret %C,%B etc when percascii is OFF, .e.g:
+   /set percascii OFF
+ - Fixed ops/voice counts when networks allow you to voice/op people
+   that are already voiced/oped (like EFnet).
+ - Fixed building with --disable-glib.

+ - Updated Greek translation (Fanis Dokianakis).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.7
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Re-added support for '+' channels when there's no 005 numeric.
+ - Made the new $3 null terminated (works better that way).
+ - Fixed Doubleclick-user when disabling userlist icons.
+ - Fixed SSL build.
+ - Win32 port (some code from Alex Badea's 1.5.11win32 port used).
+ - More code cleanups, removed all extern prototypes from fe-gtk/.
+ - Titlebar text now shows unknown channel modes too.
+ - Made persist chans work with /reconnect aswell.
+ - Avoid pastes of common unix directories being treated as irc
+   commands (Chema Celorio). 
+ - Removed the Delete word forward/backward functions from
+   KeyBindings. GTK handles these already, why were they ever there?
+ - Made %h work for dialog windows' popup menu too.
+ - Fixed treeview not setting channels red and blue.
+ - The info above the userlist now gets a tooltip which gives you
+   some extra info.
+ - The nickgad (to the left of your nickname) now gets a text prefix
+   char if userlist icons are disabled.

+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1.7.6
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - xtext: tweaks to make url highlights less flickery.
+ - Added some support for ircd numeric 005. MODES>=6, CHANTYPES,
+   CHANMODES, WATCH and PREFIX are supported. This means dynamic
+   support of different channel and user modes. The userlist icons
+   only support *@%+ though (admin, op, half op, voice), will have to
+   find a way to make these dynamic in the future. Also, made a new
+   file modes.c and rewrote mode handling in general to support this,
+   so what did I break?
+ - Added option 'Userlist icons' (default ON). Lets you turn off
+   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).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------

+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Updated German translation (Benedikt Roth).

+ - 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.

+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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).
+ - Build tree cleaned up so 'make dist' can work.
+ - Added flood protection from CTCP and mass-dialogs-opening (Bruj0)
+   rdiazleven@ubp.edu.ar. (see variables *_limit).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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).
+ - Configure script is now generated with a sane version of autoconf.
+ - Alt-minus and Alt-plus now wrap around (AGL).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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.

+Just some tips if you're going to help with HexChat code (patches etc):
+
+* Use tabs, not spaces, to indent code.
+
+* Use a tab size of 3 (most editors will let you choose this).
+  Type :set ts=3 in vim/gvim.
+
+* Try to stick to the same consistant coding style:
+
+void
+routine (void)
+{
+	if (function (a, b, c))
+	{
+		x = a + 1;
+	}
+}
+
+	(vertically aligned braces, a space after if, while, functions etc).
+
+* Don't use "//" C++ style comments, some compilers don't like them.
+
+* When opening a file with unix level functions (open, read/write, close)
+  as opposed to the C-level functions (fopen, fwrite/fread, fclose), use
+  the OFLAGS macro. This makes sure it'll work on Win32 aswell as unix e.g:
+
+	fh = open ("file", OFLAGS | O_RDONLY);
+
+* Use closesocket() for sockets, and close() for normal files.
+
+* Don't read() from sockets, instead use recv().
+
+* Please provide unified format diffs (run diff -u).
+
+* Call your patch something more meaningfull than hexchat.diff (I get a
+  million of these files!).
+
+* To make a really nice and clean patch, do something like this:
+
+Have two directories, unpacked from the original archive:
+hexchat-2.0.0/
+hexchat-2.0.0p1/
+Then edit/compile the hexchat-2.0.0p1 directory. When you're done, make
+a patch with:
+
+cd hexchat-2.0.0p1
+make distclean
+cd ..
+diff -urN hexchat-2.0.0 hexchat-2.0.0p1 > hexchat-something.diff
+
+If using nmake (Windows) replace "make distclean" with "nmake -f makefile.msc clean"

+HexChat Frequently Asked Questions

+==================================

+

+Using HexChat.

+--------------

+

+### How do I autoconnect and join a channel when HexChat loads?

+

+In the Network list select the Network you want to auto-connect to and

+click Edit and turn ON the "Auto connect to this network at startup"

+checkbox.

+

+List channels in the favorites list to join them on connect.

+

+

+### Why does HexChat join channels before identifying?

+

+When using the nickserv password HexChat waits a short time before joining.

+To change this value (which is in seconds) by running:

+>   /set irc\_join\_delay number

+

+The other option is SASL which is network dependant and can be enabled in the Network list (2.9.4+).

+

+

+### How do I connect through a proxy?

+

+Go to the menus, *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Network Setup* and fill in

+the requested information there. Authentication (using a username and

+password) is only supported for HTTP and Socks5.

+

+

+### How do I show @ and + in front of nicknames that are Op and Voice when they talk?

+

+To display @ and + characters next to nicknames as they talk, do the

+following:

+

+In the menus, open up Settings -> Text Events. Find the

+*Channel Message* event in the list. The $3 code can be inserted to

+print the user's mode-character (e.g. @ or +). For example, you might

+want to change the default:

+

+>   %C18%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O$t$2

+

+To

+

+>   %C18%H<%H$4$3$1%H>%H%O$t$2 

+

+Don't forget to **press Enter**, so the changes take effect in the list at

+the top of the window.

+

+

+### How do I change the Op and Voice userlist icons and Tree View icons?

+

+You can override the default icons by placing PNG files with the names listed below in

+the specified directory.

+

+#### Files

+

+**userlist:**

+

+>   - op.png

+>   - hop.png

+>   - voice.png

+>   - red.png *(1 level above op)*

+>   - purple.png  *(2 levels above op)*

+

+**channeltree:**

+

+>   - server.png

+>   - channel.png

+>   - dialog.png

+>   - util.png *(Channel List, DCC, etc (if enabled as tabs))*

+

+**tray:**

+

+>   - message.png

+>   - highlight.png

+>   - fileoffer.png

+>   - hexchat.png

+

+#### Locations

+

+You will need to create the directory.

+

+* Unix/Linux

+

+>   ~/.config/hexchat/icons

+

+* Windows

+

+>   %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\icons

+

+You can hide either of them in Preferences.

+

+

+### How do I set different ban types?

+

+1. Right click the nickname in the userlist, and choose a ban type from the "Kick/Ban" submenu.

+2. You can also do it manually:

+    >   /ban nick bantype where the bantype is a number from 0 to 3.

+3. Or set the default with:

+

+    >   /set irc\_ban\_type bantype sets the default ban type to use for all bans. The different types are:

+    >

+    >   -   0 = \*!*@*.host

+    >   -   1 = \*!*@domain

+    >   -   2 = \*!*user@*.host

+    >   -   3 = \*!*user@domain

+

+### Why does the timestamp overlap some nicknames?

+

+Some networks allow very long nicknames (up to 32 letters). It can be

+annoying to have the separator bar move too far to the right, just for

+one long nick. Therefore, it has a set limit for the distance it will

+move to the right. If you use a large font, you may need to adjust this

+distance. It is set in pixels, for example:

+

+>   /set text\_max\_indent 320

+

+Once you adjust this setting high enough, overlapping timestamps and

+nicknames should not occur. The adjustment will not take effect

+immediately, a restart may be needed.

+

+### How do I turn on Conference mode where I will not see join or part messages?

+

+Right-click on the tab you want to change. In the submenu of the channel

+name, there's a toggle-item "Show join/part messages", simply turn this

+off.

+

+If you want to turn this option on globally go to *Preferences* -> *Advanced*

+

+Then all channels you join **after** setting this will start with "Show

+join/part messages" turned off.

+

+

+### Why doesn't DCC send work behind a router (IPNat/ADSL)?

+

+If you are behind a IP-NAT or ADSL router, you will most likely have an

+address like 192.168.0.1. This address is not usable on the Internet,

+and must be translated.

+

+When offering a DCC file, HexChat will tell the receiver your address.

+If it says 192.168.0.1, the receiver will not be able to connect. One

+way to make it send your "real" address is to enable the "Get my IP from

+IRC Server" option in HexChat. This option is available in Preferences

+-> File Transfers. When you turn it ON, you will have to re-login to

+the server before it'll take effect.

+

+You will also need to forward some ports for use in DCC send. You may

+pick almost any port range you wish, for example, in HexChat set:

+

+>   First DCC send port: 4990

+>   Last DCC send port: 5000

+

+This will allow you to send up to ten files at the same time, which

+should be plenty for most people. Lastly, configure your router/modem to

+forward ports 4990-5000 to your PC's address. You'll have to consult

+your router/modem's manual on how to do this.

+

+

+### How do I execute multiple commands in one line?

+

+There are three ways to do this:

+

+-   /LOAD -e <textfile>, where <textfile> is a full pathname to a

+    file containing commands on each line.

+

+-   Separate your commands with CTRL-SHIFT-u-a. This will appear as

+     a little box with numbers onit.

+

+-   You can create two UserCommands, with the same name, and then

+    execute the UserCommand. It will be executed in the same order as

+    it's written in the UserCommands GUI.

+

+

+### I get this error: "Unknown file type abc.yz. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin?"

+

+If you get this error when trying to load a Perl or Python script, it

+means the plugin for running those scripts isn't loaded.

+

+-   The Perl, Python and TCL plugins come with HexChat in the same

+    archive.

+-   During ./configure, it will check for Perl, Python and TCL libs and

+    headers, you should check if it failed there.

+-   The plugins directory can be found by issuing the shell command

+    >   hexchat -p

+

+-   All *.so files are auto-loaded at startup (*.dll on Windows).

+-   If you downloaded a binary package, maybe the packager decided to

+    exclude the Perl or Python plugins.

+

+

+### How do I play sound files on certain events?

+

+In the menus, go to: *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Sound*. Select the event

+you want to make a sound on, then type in a sound filename (or use the

+Browse button).

+

+

+### How do I auto-load scripts at startup?

+

+The root of your HexChat config is:

+

+-   Windows: %APPDATA%\\HexChat

+-   Unix/Linux: ~/.config/hexchat

+

+

+Referred to as config from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:

+

+>   - config/addons/*.lua Lua scripts

+>   - config/addons/*.pl Perl scripts

+>   - config/addons/*.py Python scripts

+>   - config/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts

+>   - config/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)

+>   - config/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)

+

+The addons dir may need to be created.

+

+### How do I minimize HexChat to the System Tray (Notification Area)?

+

+On both Unix and Windows there is an included tray plugin.

+To enable minimizing to tray on exit:

+

+>   /set gui\_tray\_flags -on 1

+

+For minimizing to tray on minimize:

+

+>   /set gui\_tray\_flags -on 4 *(use -off to disable)*

+

+Alerts for this tray are in *Preferences* -> *Alerts*

+

+The other option is Windows only, called HexTray. It is included with the installer.

+Right click on the tray icon for its options.

+

+

+### Where are the log files saved to?

+

+* Unix/Linux

+

+> ~/.config/hexchat/logs

+

+* Windows

+

+> %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\logs

+

+

+### How do I rotate log files every so often?

+

+By default settings, no rotation occurs, your log files will just keep getting larger.

+

+Go to *Settings* -> *Preferences* -> *Logging* and change the log filename to any one of these:

+

+>   %Y-%m-%d/%n-%c.log ->2006-12-30/FreeNode-\#channel.log

+>

+>   %n/%Y-%m-%d/%c.log ->FreeNode/2006-12-30/\#channel.log

+>

+>   %n/%c.log -> FreeNode/\#channel.log (no rotation)

+

+%Y, %m and %d represents the current year, month and day respectively.

+%n is the network name, e.g. "FreeNode" or "UnderNet", and finally, %c

+is the channel. In these examples, a new log filename and folder would

+be created after midnight.

+

+ You can find more possibilities at

+[http://xchat.org/docs/log/](http://xchat.org/docs/log/).

+

+### Where did the Real Name field go?

+

+The real name field is now removed from the Network List. This is in

+order to avoid alienating newcomers (some might be afraid of their

+personal data).

+

+The network-specific real name can still be set via the GUI. If you want

+to modify the global real name, just issue the following command:

+

+>   /set irc\_real\_name Stewie Griffin

+

+

+### How do I migrate my settings from XChat?

+

+* UNIX/Linux

+

+>   1. Copy ~/.xchat2 to ~/.config/hexchat

+>   2. Rename ~/.config/hexchat/xchat.conf to ~/.config/hexchat/hexchat.conf

+>   3. Rename ~/.config/hexchat/xchatlogs to ~/.config/hexchat/logs

+>   4. Move all your 3rd party addons to ~/.config/hexchat/addons

+>   5. Rename ~/.config/hexchat/plugin\_\*.conf to ~/.config/hexchat/addon\_\*.conf

+

+* Windows

+

+>   1. Copy *%APPDATA%\\X-Chat 2 to %APPDATA%\\HexChat

+>   2. Rename *%APPDATA%\\HexChat\\xchat.conf to %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\hexchat.conf

+>   3. Rename *%APPDATA%\\HexChat\\xchatlogs to %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\logs

+>   4. Move all your 3rd party addons to %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\addons

+>   5. Rename *%APPDATA%\\HexChat\\plugin\_\*.conf to %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\addon\_\*.conf

+

+Contributions, Development and Bugs.

+------------------------------------

+

+### I found a bug, what can I do?

+

+Firstly, make sure it's the latest stable version of HexChat.

+

+If you still experience issues, you can search for the issue on

+[Github](https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues?state=open)

+if it has not been reported open an issue with as much detail as possible.

+

+

+### Can I write a new language translation for HexChat?

+

+You sure can, but I don't accept translations directly. They must be

+done through the [Transifex

+Project](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/hexchat/). Bear in mind

+that the email address with which you register on Transifex will be

+visible in the translation files.

+## What is it?
+
+HexChat is an IRC client for Windows and UNIX operating systems. I.R.C. is
+Internet Relay Chat, see http://irchelp.org for more information about IRC
+in general. HexChat runs on most BSD and POSIX compliant operating systems.
+
+## Requirements:
+
+ * GTK+ 2.10
+ * GLib 2.12
+
+HexChat is known to work on, at least:
+
+ * Windows XP/Vista/7/8
+ * Linux
+ * FreeBSD
+ * OpenBSD
+ * NetBSD
+ * Solaris
+ * AIX
+ * IRIX
+ * DEC/Compaq Tru64 UNIX
+ * HP-UX 10.20 and 11
+ * OS X
+
+
+## Notes for packagers:
+
+If you need your packages to work on i386, you don't need to compile with
+--disable-mmx, because it's also checked at run-time.
+
+## Python Scripts:
+
+Scripts for XChat 1.8.x are not compatible, a brand new interface has been
+written. The documentation can be found here:
+
+https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/wiki/Python-Interface
+
+Consider using the Python interface for your scripts, it's a very nice
+API, allows for loading/unloading individual scripts, and gives you
+almost all the features of the C-Plugin API.
+
+
+## Perl Scripts:
+
+Perl 5.8 or newer is required. The documentation can be found here:
+
+https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/wiki/Perl-Interface
+
+Scripts for XChat 1.8.x are compatible with the following exceptions:
+
+ * IRC::command will not interpret %C, %B, %U etc.
+
+ * user_list and user_list_short:
+  If a user has both op and voice, only the op flag will be 1.
+
+ * add_user_list/sub_user_list/clear_user_list
+  These functions do nothing.
+
+ * notify_list
+  Not implemented. Always returns an empty list.
+
+ * server_list
+  Lists servers that are not connected aswell.
+
+ * Some print events may have new names and some were added.
+
+ * Text printed by scripts must now be UTF8.
+
+ * Text passed to scripts (via add_message_handler) will be encoded in UTF8.
+
+## Autoloading Scripts and Plugins:
+
+The root of your HexChat config is:
+
+ * Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
+ * Unix: ~/.config/hexchat
+
+Referred to as < config > from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
+
+ * < config >/addons/*.lua Lua scripts
+ * < config >/addons/*.pl Perl scripts
+ * < config >/addons/*.py Python scripts
+ * < config >/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts
+ * < config >/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)
+ * < config >/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)
+
+## Control Codes:
+
+ * %%     -  A single percentage sign
+ * %C     -  Control-C (mIRC color code)
+ * %B     -  Bold Text
+ * %U     -  Underline Text
+ * %R     -  Reverse Text
+ * %O     -  Reset all Text attributes
+ * %XXX   -  ASCII XXX (where XXX is a decimal 3 digit number, e.g.: %007 sends a BEEP)
+
+%Cforeground,background will produce a color code, e.g.: %C03,10
+
+These are now disabled by default (see Settings > Preferences > Input Box).  
+Instead you can insert the real codes via ctrl-k, ctrl-b and ctrl-o.
