WeeChat Release Notes ===================== Sébastien Helleu v0.3.9-dev, 2012-06-14 Version 0.3.9 (under dev!) -------------------------- Important release notes: * an horizontal separator has been added between split windows, and two options have been added to toggle separators (both are enabled by default): ** 'weechat.look.window_separator_horizontal' ** 'weechat.look.window_separator_vertical' Version 0.3.8 (2012-06-03) -------------------------- Important release notes: * options 'weechat.look.prefix_align_more' and 'weechat.look.prefix_buffer_align_more' have been converted from type boolean to string: ** if the value was on (default), new value is "+" and you can now customize this char ** if the value was off, you have to set " " (string with one space) * option 'weechat.look.paste_max_lines' can now be used with value 0 to detect paste with one line (only if terminal "bracketed paste mode" is enabled when option 'weechat.look.paste_bracketed' is on); so now the value -1 is used to disable paste detection: if your value was 0, you should set it to -1: ** `/set weechat.look.paste_max_lines -1` * rmodifier "nickserv" has a new default regex which includes option "release" for command "/msg nickserv". If you never added/changed rmodifiers, you can just reset all rmodifiers (command: `/rmodifier default -yes`). If you added/changed some rmodifiers, do it manually with these two commannds: ** `/rmodifier del nickserv` ** `/rmodifier add nickserv history_add,input_text_display 1,4* ^(/(msg|quote) +nickserv +(id|identify|ghost \S+|release \S+) +)(.*)` Version 0.3.7 (2012-02-26) -------------------------- Important release notes: * option `scroll_unread` has been moved from command `/input` to `/window`, therefore default command of key alt-u has been updated. To bind key with new default value: ** `/key bind meta-u /window scroll_unread` * extended regex is used in filters and irc ignore, so some chars that needed escape in past do not need any more (for example `[0-9]\+` becomes `[0-9]+`), filters and ignore have to be manually fixed * option 'weechat.look.highlight_regex' becomes case insensitive by default, to make it case sensitive, use "(?-i)" at beginning of string, for example: "(?-i)FlashCode|flashy" * option 'weechat.history.max_lines' has been renamed to 'weechat.history.max_buffer_lines_number' * option 'weechat.plugin.extension' now supports list of extensions, and new default value is ".so,.dll" (with this value, weechat.conf is compatible with Cygwin) Version 0.3.6 (2011-10-22) -------------------------- Important release notes: * bold is not used any more for basic colors (used only if terminal has less than 16 colors), a new option has been added to force bold if needed: 'weechat.look.color_basic_force_bold' * option 'weechat.look.hline_char' has been renamed to 'weechat.look.separator_horizontal' Version 0.3.5 (2011-05-15) -------------------------- Important release notes: * if you have some colors defined in section "palette" with version 0.3.4, you should remove all colors defined, and add new aliases (it's not needed any more to add colors before using them) * colors for nick prefixes (char for op, voice, ..) are defined in a single option 'irc.color.nick_prefixes', therefore following options will be lost: 'irc.color.nick_prefix_op', 'irc.color.nick_prefix_halfop', 'irc.color.nick_prefix_voice', 'irc.color.nick_prefix_user' * count of messages have been added to hotlist by default, if you want to come back to old behaviour, do that: ** `/set weechat.look.hotlist_count_max 0` ** `/set weechat.look.hotlist_buffer_separator ","` * when you are away, all buffers are now added to hotlist by default (even if they are displayed in a window), if you want to come back to old behaviour, do that: ** `/set weechat.look.hotlist_add_buffer_if_away off` * new keys were added, use command `/key missing` to add them or `/key listdiff` to see differences between your current keys and WeeChat default keys Version 0.3.4 (2011-01-16) -------------------------- Important release notes: * if you are using `/upgrade` from a previous release: ** some nick prefixes can be wrong, so it is recommended to do `/allchan names` ** nick colors are defined with a new option 'weechat.color.chat_nick_colors', therefore old options 'weechat.color.chat_nick_color1..10' will be lost when upgrading ** nick colors in messages displayed will be wrong if you changed some nick colors (old default colors will be used) * some IRC options have been renamed, before upgrading to this version, note value for old options, and set them again with new name: ** options moved from 'network' section to servers (with global value, and server value, like other server options): *** 'irc.network.connection_timeout' moved to 'irc.server_default.connection_timeout' *** 'irc.network.anti_flood_prio_high' moved to 'irc.server_default.anti_flood_prio_high' *** 'irc.network.anti_flood_prio_low' moved to 'irc.server_default.anti_flood_prio_low' *** 'irc.network.away_check' moved to 'irc.server_default.away_check' *** 'irc.network.away_check_max_nicks' moved to 'irc.server_default.away_check_max_nicks' *** 'irc.network.default_msg_part' moved to 'irc.server_default.default_msg_part' *** 'irc.network.default_msg_quit' moved to 'irc.server_default.default_msg_quit' ** other IRC options renamed: *** 'irc.look.open_channel_near_server' moved to 'irc.look.new_channel_position' (old option was boolean, new is integer with value as string) *** 'irc.look.open_pv_near_server' moved to 'irc.look.new_pv_position' (old option was boolean, new is integer with value as string) Version 0.3.3 (2010-08-07) -------------------------- Important release notes: * if you are using `/upgrade` from a previous release, then you must reconnect to IRC servers in order to use new command /wallchops. * option 'irc.network.lag_min_show' is now in milliseconds, you should set new value: your current value multiplied by 1000 (new default value is 500). Version 0.3.2 (2010-04-18) -------------------------- If you are using `/upgrade` from a previous release, then you must execute this command on all IRC servers/channels/private buffers and xfer DCC chats (not needed on WeeChat core buffer or buffers from other plugins/scripts): + `/buffer set highlight_words $nick` Version 0.3.1.1 (2010-01-31) ---------------------------- This version fixes crashs with SSL connection and purge of old DCC chats. All users of version 0.3.1 should upgrade to this version. Version 0.3.1 (2010-01-23) -------------------------- IRC commands /ame and /amsg are now aliases, if you are upgrading from version 0.3.0, you must create aliases with following commands: + `/alias aaway allserv /away` + `/alias ame allchan /me` + `/alias amsg allchan /amsg *` + `/alias anick allserv /nick` Version 0.3.0 (2009-09-06) -------------------------- This version brings major changes, especially for configuration files and plugin API. For more information about this version, please read file 'UPGRADE_0.3'. Version 0.2.6.3 (2009-06-13) ---------------------------- This version fixes gnutls detection. Version 0.2.6.2 (2009-04-18) ---------------------------- This version fixes a bug with charset decoding (like 'iso2022jp'). Version 0.2.6.1 (2009-03-14) ---------------------------- This version fixes a major bug: crash with some special chars in IRC messages. Version 0.2.6 (2007-09-06) -------------------------- No release note. Version 0.2.5 (2007-06-07) -------------------------- No release note. Version 0.2.4 (2007-03-29) -------------------------- No release note. Version 0.2.3 (2007-01-10) -------------------------- This version fixes several major bugs of version 0.2.2. All users of version 0.2.2 should upgrade to this version. Version 0.2.2 (2007-01-06) -------------------------- Important release notes: * new charset plugin: ** for users of any previous version, all your charset settings in weechat.rc will be LOST! You should save your weechat.rc to keep your values and set them again with new 'charset' plugin. ** for ISO users: history of channels may be without accents (after `/upgrade`), this is not recoverable, but this is not a bug. All new messages should be ok. ** be careful, now default encode is UTF-8 for all channels (before it was terminal charset). If you still want to send messages as 'ISO-8859-1', you should send either global encode or server specific encode to 'ISO-8859-1': *** for global encode: `/setp charset.global.encode = "ISO-8859-1"` *** for server encode (on server buffer): `/charset encode ISO-8859-1` * new keys for topic scroll: ** new keys for scrolling topic: F9/F10 ** key F10 was used for `infobar_clear` in previous WeeChat versions, you have to manually rebind this key (except for new WeeChat users): *** `/key scroll_topic_right` (which gives something like: `/key meta2-21~ scroll_topic_right`). Version 0.2.1 (2006-10-01) -------------------------- No release note. Version 0.2.0 (2006-08-19) -------------------------- Important release notes: * if you upgraded with `/upgrade` in WeeChat, you should `/disconnect` and then `/reconnect` on each server, to display properly channel/user modes. * if you're using plugins, you should remove some old plugins libraries in WeeChat system library directory (commonly '/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins'): remove `lib*` files (like `libperl.*`, `libpython.*`, ..) and keep only new libraries (`perl.*`, `python.*`, ..). Version 0.1.9 (2006-05-25) -------------------------- Important release notes: * please close all DCC chat buffers before using /upgrade command, otherwise you may experience problems with DCC chats. * some changes in script API: now timer handlers functions takes exactly 0 (zero) argument (in version 0.1.8, two arguments were mandatory but not used: server and args). Version 0.1.8 (2006-03-18) -------------------------- Important release notes: * it is recommended for users of version 0.1.7 (or any older), to replace values in setup file ('~/.weechat/weechat.rc'): ** option: log_path: replace '~/.weechat/logs' by '%h/logs' ** option: plugins_path: replace '~/.weechat/plugins' by '%h/plugins' + '%h' is replaced by WeeChat home (default: '~/.weechat', may be overriden by new command line arg `--dir`). * after installing 0.1.8 (or with `/upgrade`), issue both commands (if you didn't redefine these keys (alt-home/end): ** `/key unbind meta-meta2-1~` ** `/key unbind meta-meta2-4~` ** then launch again WeeChat (or issue `/upgrade`). * Keys alt-home/end were used for nicklist scroll, they're now replaced by alt-F11/F12. Version 0.1.7 (2006-01-14) -------------------------- Important release notes: * Ruby script plugin has been added but is experimental in this release. You're warned! * `/away` command was changed to be RFC 2812 compliant. Now argument is required to set away, and no argument means remove away ("back"). Option 'irc_default_msg_away' has been removed. Version 0.1.6 (2005-11-11) -------------------------- Important release notes: * incompatibility with some old scripts: now all handlers have to return a code for completion, and to do some actions about message to ignore (please look at documentation for detail). * on OpenBSD, the new option 'plugins_extension' should be set to '.so.0.0' since the plugins names are ending by '.so.0.0' and not '.so'. * with new and full UTF-8 support, the option 'look_charset_internal' should be set to blank for most cases. Forces it only if your locale is not properly detected by WeeChat (you can set 'UTF-8' or 'ISO-8859-15' for example, depending on your locale). WeeChat is looking for 'UTF-8' in your locale name at startup. Version 0.1.5 (2005-09-24) -------------------------- No release note.
