ChangeLog/0.064

New stuff

• schat now prints a message if a client connects and there are still some active schats. (r1282)
• awaynick: Set awaynick on connect, not after some time. (r1291)
• Allow adding new servers through /msg *status addserver even if a server with the same name but e.g. a different port is already added. (r1295) (r1296)
• Show the current server in /msg *status listservers with a star. (r1308)
• /msg *status listmods now displays the module's arguments instead of its description. Use listavailmods for the description. (r1310)
• ZNC now updates the channel buffers for detached channels and thus gives a buffer replay when you reattach. (r1325)
• watch now adds timestamps to messages it adds to the playback buffers. (r1333)
• ZNC should now work on cygwin out of the box (use --disable-ipv6). (r1351)
• Webadmin will handle all HTTP requests on the irc ports. (r1368) (r1375)

Fixes

• Handle read errors in CFile::Copy() instead of going into an endless loop. (r1280) (r1287)
• Make schat work properly again and clean it up a little. (r1281) (r1303)
• Removed all calls to getcwd(). We now no longer depend on PATH_MAX. (r1286)
• stickychan: Don't try to join channels if we are not connected to IRC. (r1298)
• watch now saved its settings. (r1304)
• Don't forward PONG replies that we requested to the user. (r1309)
• awaynick evaluated the awaynick multiple times and thus didn't set the nick back. (r1313)
• znc-config --version said '@VERSION@' instead of the actual version number. (r1319)
• Handle JOIN redirects due to +L. (r1327)
• Remove the length restrictions on webadmin's password fields which led to silent password truncation. (r1330)
• Webadmin now reloads global modules if you change their arguments. (r1331)
• The main binary is no longer built with position independent code. (r1338)
• ZNC failed to bounce DCCs if its own ip started with a value above 127. (r1340)
• Savebuff no longer reloads old channel buffers if you did /msg *status clearbuffer. (r1345)
• Some work has been done to make ZNC work with mingw (It doesn't work out of the box yet). (r1339) (r1341) (r1342) (r1343) (r1344) (r1354) (r1355) (r1356) (r1358) (r1359)
• modperl used huge amounts of memory after some time. This is now fixed. (r1357)
• shell now generates error messages if e.g. fork() fails. (r1369)
• If the allowed buffer size is lowered, the buffer is now automatically shrunk. (r1371)
• webadmin now refuses to transfer files bigger than 16 MiB, because it would block ZNC. (r1374)

Minor stuff

• Only reply to /mode requests if we actually know the answer. (r1290)
• Lowered some timeouts. (r1297)
• Memory usage optimizations. (r1300) (r1301) (r1302)

• Allow /msg *status setbuffer for channels we are currently not on. (r1323)
• Updated the README. (r1326)
• Use @includedir@ instead of @prefix@/include in the Makefile. (r1328)
• Use RTLD_NOW for loading modules instead of RTLD_LAZY which could take down the bouncer. (r1332)
• Use stat() instead of lstat() if the later one isn't available. (r1339)
• CExecSock now generates an error message if execvp() fails. (r1362)
• Improved some error messages. (r1367)

• Replaced most calls to strtoul() and atoi() with calls to the appropriate CString members. (r1320)
