There's + some changes in behaviour because I'm trying to make Irssi a bit + more compatible with EPIC. + + * libPropList isn't needed anymore - I'm using my own configuration + library. This is mostly because different proplists worked a bit + differently everywhere and several people had problems with it. + It's also yet another extra library that you needed to compile + Irssi. New configuration library has several advantages: + + You can add comments to configuration file and they also stay + there when it's saved. + + It's not nearly as vulnerable as proplist. If some error occurs, + instead of just not reading anything it will try to continue if + possible. Also the error messages are written to irssi's text + window instead of stdout. + + It can be managed more easily than proplist - setting/getting the + configuration is a lot more easier. + + * Coding style changes - I'm not using gint, gchar etc. anymore, + they're just extra pain when moving code to non-glib projects and + syntax hilighting doesn't work by default with most editors ;) + + Indentation style was also changed to K&R because of some political + reasons ;) And I'm already starting to like it.. :) It forces me + to split code to different functions more often and the result is + that the code gets more readable. + + And finally I'm also using `const' all over the place. + + + /EVAL <commands> - Expand all the special variables from string and + run it. Commands can be split with ; character. See + docs/SPECIAL_VARS for more info. + + Aliases are parsed just like /EVAL - arguments are in $0..$9. + + Text formats are also parsed like /EVAL, arguments used to be in + $1..$9, now they're in $0..$8 so it messes up existing themes.. + + /SET [key [value]] - no more the '=' character. Boolean values + also need to be changed with ON/OFF/TOGGLE values (not yes/no). + Settings aren't saved to disk until you use /SAVE. + + /TOGGLE <key> [ON/OFF] - same as /SET <key> TOGGLE + v0.7.28 2000-03-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi> + irssi-text: New improved "text widget". It takes less memory and |
