home directory.
* DCC sending wasn't functional when sending files with full paths,
because the path was being sent. Now the path is being stripped before

you use an UTF-8 locale and you want to send text to the server, in say,
ISO-8859-1.

which caused LostIRC to abort on startup.
LostIRC (0.2.3) - Thu Dec, 19th 2002
* The "Merrry christmas and happy new year" release - see you in 2003!
* WHOIS output is now formatted much nicer.
* Color-codes are now handled better. Before the background
color (e.g. ^C12,5) wasn't being handled and just printed ",5". Now the
correct background color is used. Bold and underline is now also handled
correctly.
* By default, color codes are now stripped from incoming messages. As an
option in preferences, you can turn them on again.
* Bold and underline codes are not stripped by default. But you can turn
them off in preferences.
* Before, a number in the ident would make the line get colored. Fixed.
(You need to remove ~/.lostirc/events.conf first).

to remove ~/.lostirc/events.conf first to get the new ones.

CTRL-d.

* When using command-tab-completion, several commands seemed to be there twice.
(E.g. there were two /ME's), fixed.
* /COMMANDS outputted some commands twice as well, fixed.
* When queries containing special characters were created with /QUERY, the
displayed name was wrong and the tab could not close again. Fixed.
* The nick-list now sorts properly, in the past it wasn't very stable in
its sorting.
* The nick-list now uses the current locales sorting when sorting nicks
instead of the C locale.
* When starting the client, or connecting to a new server, the nicklist
appeared always. Now it only appears when actually joining a channel.
* You can now specify a specific DCC port to use for DCC SEND. (thanks,
Michael Kristensen)
* The statusbar is now updated right after connecting to a server, and
right after changing nick, and not only when switching tabs.
* Fix a segfault which appeared with bouncers/servers sending malformed
JOIN lines.
* When receiving a file by DCC, the client no longer freezes until the
transfer is complete.

had to unselect it before being able to type again. Fixed.

user interface more clear.

summary of changes between releases while ChangeLog contains the notices
of the real code changes.
LostIRC (0.2.1) - Fri Nov, 22th 2002
* The application GUI has changed a little. There is now a statusbar below
the tabs which tells you different things:
- nick, servername
- away status
- matches for nick completion are here instead of in the main text window
* There is a now a seperator between the main text window and the nick list
which can be dragged to make the nick list smaller/bigger.
* Nick-completion is now smarter. It partially completes the nick if the
matching nicks has common prefixes.
* Command-completion has undergone the same changes.
* When pressing TAB when only a space had been entered, all nicks were
matched. Fixed.
* The default keyboard-shortcuts has been changed:
- ALT-C has been changed to CTRL-C (close tab)
- ALT-P has been changed to CTRL-P (preferences)
- ALT-N has been changed to CTRL-N (new server)
- ALT-Q has been changed to CTLR-Q (quit)
- ALT-[1-9] has been changed to CTRL-[1-9] (switch tab)
(This is to follow the 'GNOME Human Interface Guidelines' and the 'KDE
User Interface Guidelines').
* When using an UTF-8 locale, LostIRC was practically non-functionaly -
fixed (thanks, Daniel Elstner)
* An added --noauto command-line option has been added, this makes LostIRC
not connect to servers automatically at startup.

longer displayed. (thanks, Michael Kristensen)

lines (they sent the channel _after_ the colon).

(in bash, try `export GDK_USE_XFT=1`)
* Cleaner and more attractive default interface

way as a GNOME menu entry has always been default. It can be disabled by
using ./configure --disable-gnome and --disable-kde
* There is now an /EXIT command which can be used to send a quit-message to
all connected servers and quit the client.
* The nick-list no longer mentions "0 users" when a channel has parted, but
"Not on channel"
* There is now an "Limited highlighting" feature which can be used if you
don't want to mark tabs red on joins/parts etc. but only on talk in a
channel.

are now read from ~/.lostirc/colors.conf and can be changed by hand.

* When a topic was received for a channel the user was currently not on -
the client aborted, fixed.
* Unexpected behaviour when joining channels with different prefixes than #,
fixed.
