  Perl problems
@@ -94,10 +85,11 @@ things that can go wrong:
  - If configure complains that it doesn't find some perl stuff, you're
    probably missing libperl.so or libperl.a. In debian, you'll need to do
    apt-get install libperl-dev
- - For unprivileged home directory installations, using the local::lib CPAN
-   module is recommended. Read its docs, bootstrap it if needed, ensure that
-   the environment variables are set before running the configure script, and
-   append "--with-perl-lib=site" to the configure parameters to use it.
+ - For unprivileged home directory installations, you probably do not want

+   --with-perl-lib=$PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT/lib/perl5
 
 You can verify that the perl module is loaded and working with "/LOAD"
 command. It should print something like:

+	* /connect Network now aborts with an error if no servers have been

+	+ irssiproxy can now forward all tags through a single port.
+	+ irssiproxy can also listen on unix sockets.

+	+ the kill buffer now remembers consecutive kills.
+	  New bindings were added: yank_next_cutbuffer and append_next_kill
+	+ connections will avoid looking up IPv6 addresses if the machine does
+	  not have an IPv6 address assigned (exact behaviour is implementation
+	  defined).
+	+ Fix potential crash if scripts insert undef values into the completion

+	+ autolog_ignore_targets and activity_hide_targets learn a new syntax
+	      tag/* and * to ignore whole networks or everything.
+	+ /hilight got a -matchcase flag to hilight case sensitively (#421).
+	- IP addresses are no longer stored when resolve_reverse_lookup is
+	  used.
+	- /names and $[...] now uses utf8 string operations (#40, #411).

-dnl Curses detection: Munged from Midnight Commander's configure.in
-dnl
-dnl What it does:
-dnl =============
-dnl
-dnl - Determine which version of curses is installed on your system
-dnl   and set the -I/-L/-l compiler entries and add a few preprocessor
-dnl   symbols
-dnl - Do an AC_SUBST on the CURSES_INCLUDEDIR and CURSES_LIBS so that
-dnl   @CURSES_INCLUDEDIR@ and @CURSES_LIBS@ will be available in
-dnl   Makefile.in's
-dnl - Modify the following configure variables (these are the only
-dnl   curses.m4 variables you can access from within configure.in)
-dnl   CURSES_INCLUDEDIR - contains -I's and possibly -DRENAMED_CURSES if
-dnl                       an ncurses.h that's been renamed to curses.h
-dnl                       is found.
-dnl   CURSES_LIBS       - sets -L and -l's appropriately
-dnl   CFLAGS            - if --with-sco, add -D_SVID3
-dnl   has_curses        - exports result of tests to rest of configure
-dnl
-dnl Usage:
-dnl ======
-dnl 1) Add lines indicated below to acconfig.h
-dnl 2) call AC_CHECK_CURSES after AC_PROG_CC in your configure.in
-dnl 3) Instead of #include <curses.h> you should use the following to
-dnl    properly locate ncurses or curses header file
-dnl
-dnl    #if defined(USE_NCURSES) && !defined(RENAMED_NCURSES)
-dnl    #include <ncurses.h>
-dnl    #else
-dnl    #include <curses.h>
-dnl    #endif
-dnl
-dnl 4) Make sure to add @CURSES_INCLUDEDIR@ to your preprocessor flags
-dnl 5) Make sure to add @CURSES_LIBS@ to your linker flags or LIBS
-dnl
-dnl Notes with automake:
-dnl - call AM_CONDITIONAL(HAS_CURSES, test "$has_curses" = true) from
-dnl   configure.in
-dnl - your Makefile.am can look something like this
-dnl   -----------------------------------------------
-dnl   INCLUDES= blah blah blah $(CURSES_INCLUDEDIR)
-dnl   if HAS_CURSES
-dnl   CURSES_TARGETS=name_of_curses_prog
-dnl   endif
-dnl   bin_PROGRAMS = other_programs $(CURSES_TARGETS)
-dnl   other_programs_SOURCES = blah blah blah
-dnl   name_of_curses_prog_SOURCES = blah blah blah
-dnl   other_programs_LDADD = blah
-dnl   name_of_curses_prog_LDADD = blah $(CURSES_LIBS)
-dnl   -----------------------------------------------
-dnl
-dnl
-dnl The following lines should be added to acconfig.h:

-/* sigh... this has got to be the ugliest code I've ever written.
-   Trying to handle everything has its cost, I guess.
-
-   It actually isn't to hard to figure out if a given % code is supposed
-   to be interpeted with its termcap or terminfo meaning since almost
-   all terminfo codes are invalid unless something has been pushed on
-   the stack and termcap strings will never push things on the stack
-   (%p isn't used by termcap). So where we have a choice we make the
-   decision by whether or not somthing has been pushed on the stack.
-   The static variable termcap keeps track of this; it starts out set
-   to 1 and is incremented as each argument processed by a termcap % code,
-   however if something is pushed on the stack it's set to 0 and the
-   rest of the % codes are interpeted as terminfo % codes. Another way
-   of putting it is that if termcap equals one we haven't decided either
-   way yet, if it equals zero we're looking for terminfo codes, and if
-   its greater than 1 we're looking for termcap codes.
-
-   Terminfo % codes:
-
-	%%	output a '%'
-	%[[:][-+# ][width][.precision]][doxXs]
-		output pop according to the printf format
-	%c	output pop as a char
-	%'c'	push character constant c.
-	%{n}	push decimal constant n.
-	%p[1-9] push parameter [1-9]
-	%g[a-z] push variable [a-z]
-	%P[a-z] put pop in variable [a-z]
-	%l	push the length of pop (a string)
-	%+	add pop to pop and push the result
-	%-	subtract pop from pop and push the result
-	%*	multiply pop and pop and push the result
-	%&	bitwise and pop and pop and push the result
-	%|	bitwise or pop and pop and push the result
-	%^	bitwise xor pop and pop and push the result
-	%~	push the bitwise not of pop
-	%=	compare if pop and pop are equal and push the result
-	%>	compare if pop is less than pop and push the result
-	%<	compare if pop is greater than pop and push the result
-	%A	logical and pop and pop and push the result
-	%O	logical or pop and pop and push the result
-	%!	push the logical not of pop
-	%? condition %t if_true [%e if_false] %;
-		if condition evaulates as true then evaluate if_true,
-		else evaluate if_false. elseif's can be done:
-%? cond %t true [%e cond2 %t true2] ... [%e condN %t trueN] [%e false] %;
-	%i	add one to parameters 1 and 2. (ANSI)
-
-  Termcap Codes:
-
-	%%	output a %
-	%.	output parameter as a character
-	%d	output parameter as a decimal number
-	%2	output parameter in printf format %02d
-	%3	output parameter in printf format %03d
-	%+x	add the character x to parameter and output it as a character
-(UW)	%-x	subtract parameter FROM the character x and output it as a char
-(UW)	%ax	add the character x to parameter
-(GNU)	%a[+*-/=][cp]x
-		GNU arithmetic.
-(UW)	%sx	subtract parameter FROM the character x
-	%>xy	if parameter > character x then add character y to parameter
-	%B	convert to BCD (parameter = (parameter/10)*16 + parameter%16)
-	%D	Delta Data encode (parameter = parameter - 2*(parameter%16))
-	%i	increment the first two parameters by one
-	%n	xor the first two parameters by 0140
-(GNU)	%m	xor the first two parameters by 0177
-	%r	swap the first two parameters
-(GNU)	%b	backup to previous parameter
-(GNU)	%f	skip this parameter
-
-  Note the two definitions of %a, the GNU definition is used if the characters
-  after the 'a' are valid, otherwise the UW definition is used.
-
-  (GNU) used by GNU Emacs termcap libraries
-  (UW) used by the University of Waterloo (MFCF) termcap libraries
