irssi

Additions

• Add workaround for Perl 5.38.0 bug that breaks the Irssi locale and glyph rendering (scripts.irssi.org#857, #1498)

Changes

Changes

• Add irssimoduledir to irssi-1.pc in the Meson build (#1383, #1378)

Changes

• Format the output of /QUOTE HELP (#1371, an#82). By Val Lorentz. Add /SHELP as default alias (an#83)

• /SET resolve_reverse_lookup setting was removed (#1034, #1135)

• Irssi will try to connect on IPv4 if IPv6 connection failed (#1146). By Shivaram Lingamneni

• The display system now renders formats on the fly (#1079, #1188, #1191, #1192, #1204, #1205, #1209, #1349, #1355, an#13, an#14, an#28, an#29, an#36, an#37, an#49)

  This major change will break scripts that try to modify printed text during "print text" signal (#1189). They need to be ported to modify the text during "print format" instead. It also breaks the usage of using /FORMAT to add different colours to a line. Such usage needs to be ported to using $expando variables instead. Affected scripts include format_identify.pl, friends_peder.pl, nickcolor.pl, nm.pl, people.pl

  The "gui print text finished" and "gui print text after finished" signals gained a TEXT_DEST_REC *parameter in the process.

  A new "gui render line text" signal is available to change the rendering of a line

• made the $Z expando (time) dynamic (#1087, #1207, #1208)

  This change breaks the usage of /SET timestamp_format to supply a custom displayed time stamp. Affected scripts include binary_time.pl

• /HILIGHT -priority now affects which hilight rule gets applied (#1228, #1232)

• The NAMES list is now hidden by default if there are more than 18 users on the channel (an#7)

  To revert to the previous behaviour

  /SET show_names_on_join_limit -1
  

• -tls_verify is now enabled by default (#1170, an#18, #1309,
  an#23, #1343, #1351)

  This may cause an ugly display of notls_verify in the output of /SERVER LIST, even on plain-text connection, on old configs. Kindly remove the "tls_verify = "no";" entries from your config file manually.

• Irssi will now attempt STARTTLS if advertised (#1170, #1312, an#19)

  Use -disallow_starttls if you absolutely do not want this

  In order to check for a STARTTLS advertisement, Irssi will now wait for a response (even an error) to CAP LS 302. If your bouncer/server does not want to communicate before receiving USER/PASS at all, use -nocap to disable the CAP check.

• Channel sync requests (WHO, MODE) are now sent "later" than user commands. This should improve responsiveness to user commands in the autojoin phase (an#26, an#32, an#33)

• Irssi is now using full paths in #include directives and consequently does not add all directories to the include path anymore (#1040)

• The Build System was ported to Meson (#1064, #1065, #1068, #1071, #1072, #1073, #1074, #1075, #1084, #1085, #1118, #1166, #1223, #1224, #1245, #1313, #1314, an#31)

• Scriptassist was changed to use a YAML database (#1163)

  It will tell you when you need to update your setting

• /BIND shows all partial matches (#1155)

• Cleanup of unused functions (#1017, #1132, #1145, #1182, #1246, #1264)

  Functions removed:

  NET_CALLBACK
  NET_HOST_CALLBACK
  RESOLVED_NAME_REC
  net_gethostbyaddr_nonblock
  net_connect_nonblock
  [ SIMPLE_THREAD_REC, simple_init, simple_readpipe ]
  hash_save_key
  

  Functions deprecated:

  dec2octal
  g_timeval_cmp
  get_timeval_diff
  

  Function names corrected:

  g_input -> i_input
  g_istr -> i_istr
  g_io_channel -> i_io_channel
  g_hash_free_value -> i_hash_free_value
  remove g_free_true
  gslist -> i_slist
  glog_func -> i_log_func
  glist -> i_list
  

  If multi-version compatibility is desired, module authors can find an example of backwards compatible code in cdidier/irssi-xmpp#55
