irssi

Bugfixes

Features

• irssiproxy can now forward all tags through a single port. By Lukas Mai (mauke, #425).
• irssiproxy can also listen on unix sockets. By Lukas Mai (#427).
• send channel -botcmds immediately when no mask is specified (#175, #399).
• the kill buffer now remembers consecutive kills.
  New bindings were added: yank_next_cutbuffer and append_next_kill
  By Todd A. Pratt (#353, #414, #455)
• connections will avoid looking up IPv6 addresses if the machine does not have an IPv6 address assigned (exact behaviour is implementation defined, #410).
• Fix potential crash if scripts insert undef values into the completion list (#413).
• Paste warning is now also shown on pasting overlong lines. By Manish Goregaokar (#426).
• autolog_ignore_targets and activity_hide_targets learn a new syntax tag/* and * to ignore whole networks or everything. By Jari Matilainen (vague666, #437)
• /hilight got a -matchcase flag to hilight case sensitively. By Thibault B (isundil, #421, #476).
• Always build irssi with TLS support.
• Rename SSL to TLS in the code and add -tls_* versions of the -ssl_* options to /CONNECT and /SERVER, but make sure the -ssl_* options continue to work.
• Use TLS for Freenode, EFnet, EsperNet, OFTC, Rizon, and IRC6 in the default configuration.
• Display TLS connection information upon connect. You can disable this by setting tls_verbose_connect to FALSE.
• Add -tls_pinned_cert and -tls_pinned_pubkey for x509 and public key pinning.
  The values needed for -tls_pinned_cert and -tls_pinned_pubkey is shown when connecting to a TLS enabled IRC server, but you can also find the values like this: Start by downloading the certificate from a given IRC server:

  $ openssl s_client -connect irc.example.net:6697 < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | \
    openssl x509 > example.cert
  

  Find the value for -tls_pinned_cert:

  $ openssl x509 -in example.cert -fingerprint -sha256 -noout
  

  Find the value for -tls_pinned_pubkey:

  $ openssl x509 -in example.cert -pubkey -noout | \
    openssl pkey -pubin -outform der | \
    openssl dgst -sha256 -c | \
    tr a-z A-Z
  

• Remove support for DANE validation of TLS certificates.
  There wasn't enough support in the IRC community to push for this on the majority of bigger IRC networks. If you believe this should be reintroduced into irssi, then please come up with an implementation that does not rely on the libval library. It is causing a lot of troubles for our downstream maintainers.

• New setting completion_nicks_match_case (#488).
• /channel /server /network now support modify subcommand. By Jari Matilainen (#338, #498).
