New epic

* Backported functions $strtol() and $tobase() from EPIC5. Request from
  |Rain|. See UPDATES for more information.

* Add $windowctl(GET <refnum> CHANNELS) in kindness to BlackJac.

New EPIC!

Roll off old docs, just a little bit of housecleaning.

* Fix space-related panic.  See UPDATES for all the gruesome details.
* Add ALT_CHAR to the list of things that can be mangled.

Remove obsolete documentation.

Change the mangler so ANSI turns off ALL_OFF unless all six attributes
are being stripped.

Properly document the change of ALL to not include ALL_OFF.  I apologize to
|Rain| for not documenting this and making his life difficult.

Refresh the UPDATES file.

Modified ERASE_LINE function to exhibit more friendly behavior.  See
UPDATES for more info.
-wd

* Document the material changes we made to the release candidate.
* Fix a few compiler warnings since we've already made changes.
* This is the second release candidate.
* The vote will not be restarted.

Fixes and new features as per KNOWNBUGS and UPDATES.

Miscelaneous fixes and features as per UPDATES and KNOWNBUGS.

* Documented $rest() changes in UPDATES due to potential compatibility
  problems.

* Fixed $shuffle*() to respect extractw.
* Altered $rest() so that a negative first argument makes it a compliment to
  $right() in the same way that a positive arg makes it a compliment to
  $left().  This may conceivably cause problems for scripts.
* Spruced $joinstr() up a bit.  It now accepts any number of variables and
  respects extractw.
* Fixed an extractw bug in malloc_strcat_word_c while testing the above.

* Added $splicec() in functions script.
* Added /set dcc_dequote_filenames.  Perhaps this should default to off?

Change default of /SET AUTO_REJOIN to OFF.

* Fixes to 'less' script from howl
* New 'help' script from howl
* Add /WINDOW SCROLLADJ.

* The last argument to open_file_for_write() needs to be lowercase.
* Add $numlines() from fudd.
EPIC4-1.2.3!

* Fix /window kill so it doesn't swap in a window too early.
* Make NOTICEs from servers to channels (on ircnet) go to that channel's win.
EPIC4-1.2.2!

* Update tabkey.jm one last time
* Add 'notify' script, a replacement for the notify command.
* Fix $windowctl(GET <refnum> DOUBLE)
* Make /on window_command give two refnums, the before and after refnums.

* Add $windowctl(GET <refnum> DOUBLE)
* Support inbound double quoted filenames in dcc handshakes. bleh.
* Fix NULL deref when you kill hidden windows (ie, /window killswap)

(*gulp*) Some changes for fudd.
* Add /ON WINDOW_COMMAND, hooked after every /window command, $* is refnum.
* Add concept of "fixed" or "frozen" windows when you SKIP ON FIXED ON
* Fix /window kill to not kill the last "non-fixed" window
* Fix /window hide to not hide the last "non-fixed" window
* Allow /window kill to kill a "fixed" window, but not the last window.
* (*gulp*) I hope all of the above works!
* Fix $windowctl(REFNUM ...) it was out of order with REFNUMS
* Make /xecho -l override the "who_from" target and always send to the level

Document $windowctl().

* Fix /lastlog <number> for kanan.

Unconditionally do (long long) integer math in the new math parser if
your system supports (long long).  I suppose on some systems this will
make math slower, but that seems like a small price to pay for having
integers that will actually support IP addresses!

$info(o) will inclue the letter 'l' if the host client is working with
64 bit integers in the new math parser.

Please note that the old math parser has not changed, and still only
supports 32 bit integers, and that won't change for backwards compatability.
If you really really really need 64 bit integers, think about changing to
the new math parser.

* Numerous updates/changes/fixes to DCC, functions, scripts, /EXEC, the
  new math parser, as per UPDATES and KNOWNBUGS.

One potential incompatibility is in the change to $open(). (as per UPDATES)

Add sanity checking to avoid cross-family dcc problems, where we bind() a
listening socket in one family and send out a dcc handshake for another
family.  Oops!  Noticed by rain.

Add /on dcc_activity, a hook for scripters to create a %D-workalike.

* Allow $serverctl(SET <refnum> UMODES)

EPIC4-1.1.13!

* Add $servernick(<global>) to return the client's global nickname
* Update tabkey.jm to latest version
* Add new ircII-compatable /window hold_mode thingee.
* Add /set hold_slider, /window hold_slider
* Add 'hold_mode' script, implements ircII-like /set hold_mode[_interval]
* /XEVAL -- ends eval option processing, like how /xecho does it.

Add $servernick(<global>) which returns the client's global current nickname.

* New script features, cleanups, docs, etc as per KNOWNBUGS and UPDATES.

Update nsx's tabkey script.

* Rework the bug report form to point people to the bugs website
* Add /lastlog -target.

Commit #555:
* Add #define MINIMUM_CLOCK_INTERVAL and MINIMUM_MAIL_INTERVAL in config.h
* Add #define DEFAULT_CLOCK_INTERVAL and DEFAULT_MAIL_INTERVAL in config.h
* Add reset_system_timers(), do_update_clock(), and set_cpu_saver_after()
* Add time_to_next_interval(), general form of time_to_next_minute().
* Add get_clock() and reset_clock() to replace update_clock().
* Make remove_timer() an extern function so i can delete timers. ;-)
* Add /SET CLOCK_INTERVAL and /SET MAIL_INTERVAL
* Make $T use the static clock.
* Reorganize system timers 1 and 2 into four timers:
* - CPU SAVER timer, checks for idleness, to turn on cpu saver
* - CLOCK timer, updates the status bar clock periodically
* - MAIL timer, checks for new mail periodically
* - NOTIFY timer, checks for others on irc periodically
* The above three honor "cpu saver" mode.
* Nix the old "do_every_minute" timer.
* Reorganize the clock generation stuff into "reset_*_clock" functions
* Generate the clock statically; only update it from the CLOCK timer
* Add reset_system_timers() which regenerates all four system timers.
* Don't set system timers in main, call reset_system_timers() instead.
* Don't enforce "notify interval" in do_notify(), handle that in NOTIFY timer.
* Comment stuff in words.c

* Add $dccctl([GET|SET] <refnum> OFFERADDR), the address in the handshake.
Larne requested this.

* Add "creation time", "last used time" and "usage counter" features to
  ignore.  This was specifically asked for, but I don't know who asked for
  it (i don't have it written down here), so please forgive me for not
  crediting you with the idea. =)

Commit 529.
Change this to reflect how the code really behaves.

Document the new ignore stuff.

Add the 'paste' script that i wrote for anguzhawk.

Truncate these files after epic4-1.1.12.

COMMIT 523
Add $serverwin().

Documentation updates. Nearing the release!

Commit 512
* Add $levelwindow()
* Change default for /set new_server_lastlog_level to ALL,-DCC
  to prevent multiple servers having level dcc until i figure out why
  the code to handle this isn't working.  This value is more sensible anyways.

Add $outputinfo(), to help the scripter know what the output level/target is.
Garbage Collect some now unused code.

These are relatively minor changes except for the $prefix() fix.

* commandqueues as per UPDATES.
* $prefix() fix and regression test as per KNOWNBUGS.

Document the stuff ce just commited.  Fix a userhost caching bug.

Another merge.

Document all the rest of the stuff.  Whew. what a day.  I'm all done I think.

* Add window_scroll_(backward|forward|backwards_lines|forwards_line)
* Add /WINDOW SCROLL_BACKWARD, /WINDOW SCROLL_FORWARD
* Add /WINDOW SCROLL_START, /WINDOW SCROLL_END

* Add "loader" info to "load_level" data; It's $2 in $loadinfo().

* Implement the "PF" (preformatted) loader.  /LOAD -PF <filename>
* Set the "loader type" within each /LOADer

* $dccctl() changes as per UPDATES.
* Misc bug fixes as per KNOWNBUGS.

Yikes.  Merged to become consistent with HEAD.  Sorry for all the commits,
I'll be quiet again soon. :)
-wd

* CTCP-over-DCC fix.  There are some things that confuse me about the inner
  workings here, so I'm not sure if this fix was done properly, but I did
  a few tests including a DCC send over a SED encrypted DCC and everything
  seems to tick over well.

Document KEY_INTERVAL

* Use server_list_size() and not number_of_servers outside of server.c
* Use NOSERV and not -1 for "no server"
* Use (Timeval) and not (struct timeval)
* Fix (get|set)_server_sent_*() et al to take server refnum.
* Use parse_server_index() and not my_atol() to parse server refnums
* re-indent quotecmd
* Rename is_server_connected() to is_server_registered
* Make /quote work as long as server is open (not registered)
* Use send_to_aserver() when it can avoid setting from_server unecessarily
* Change sent_to_server and clear_sent_to_server to (set|get)server_sent().
* Change doing_* to get_server_doing_*.
* Use (unsigned short) and not (u_short)
* Use (unsigned long) and not (u_long)
* Make output_reject_ctcp() take a refnum
* Lock a dcc while we are connecting it, just in case. ;-)

* Rewrite $timerctl() so it works like $logctl()
* Rename is_server_connected() to is_server_registered()
* Fix an off-by-one error with /FOR ... IN ...
* Keep track of both readable and writable fd's with newio stuff.
* Convert server_list to an array of pointers
* When user /server -delete's, leave a gap, don't change refnums around.
* Nix code that handles deleting server refnums.
* New function, new_open_for_writing(), for when we do nonblocking connects.
* Change new_open() to deregister fd as "writable"
* Renovate the notify stuff to take refnums and not just use from_server.
* Renovate /WHO, /ISON, /USERHOST to take refnums and not just use from_server.
* Make everything that uses server_list[] use get_server() instead.
* Make everything capable of dealing with "gaps" in server_list[].
* Use a bunch of macros, to handle with getting and setting server attrs.
* Make as much as possible use refnums as params and not from_server.
* And a lot of other stuff...

* Added functions $asciiq() $chrq() $exec() $timerctl() $tcl() $winline()
  and $floodinfo().
* Altered the two argument version of $read() to ctcp quote the strings it
  returns.
* Added sets FLOOD_RATE_PER and FLOOD_MASKUSER.
* Altered the "accept" mode of the dcc_raw and dcc_connect hooks to refer
  to the local port instead of the remote port.
* Added a "-closein %proc" switch to /exec.
* Altered the arg list mode of /alias to use extractw instead of next_arg.
* Added the documented "words" argument to the above.
* Tuned autoget, mudirc, tabkey.ce and commandqueues.
* Altered /pretend to not chop the string.
* Set about rewriting the flood detection and then decided that it's better
  off being a script.
* Moved the function macros to their own file (functions.h) and replaced
  all the copies that are strewn throughout the source with an #include.
  The exception is array.c which broke when I tried it.
* Moved the ctcp enquoting/dequoting functions to ircaux.c.
* Added some command/function ordering checks to funcs/regress, and a check
  for all the functions that are undocumented.
* Rewrote function chanmodetype() so that it doesn't have all those flakey
  buffering things.  Hopefully it's readable now.  The significant change
  is that if a mode character appears twice in CHANMODES, the first one is
  returned instead of the last.
* Added EPIC::call() in the perl routines and an equivalent under tcl.
  this is designed to call a $function() directly, but it isn't really that
  fast, so I might rip them out again.
* The /wait internals used to store a few other settings, which were taken
  out, so I put them back.
* Fixed a few problems with normalize_filename() around the place.
* Fixed a bug with /timer in which it would never show the timers after a
  callback.

Uncripple CPU_SAVER mode. yea!

* Change do_input_timeouts() to a timer callback.
* Nuke the now unused global /wait stuff
* Revamp timer.c so you can add/change/delete/update timers during a timer
* Change add_timer() so it takes a winref not a window pointer.
* Make the "key timeout" thing happen on demand instead of a recurring timer
* Remove the recurring "key timeout" timer.
* Remove the 'key timeout' thing from io(), also 'first time' stuff.
* Call get_time() after select() in io().
* Fix two compile bugs found by larne.
* Fix bug when you did /flush on a /clear window.

Another round of epic5 changes...
* Make $B, $., $,, $:, $;, $I, /WAIT stuff server specific, from epic5
* Make tracking of doing_(privmsg|notice|ctcp) server specific, from epic5
* Fixes for Const Correctness.

Backport some changes from EPIC5...

* Fix /WINDOW NAME so it takes extended-words (/window name "foo bar")
* Add 'get_geom_by_winref()' for $geom(), 'const'ify a few things...
* Fix $geom() so it can take a window refnum as an argument.
* Replace $center() with a better one from epic5.

Document $logctl() in UPDATES, allow setting/getting of TYPE in $logctl().

Ach.  Here goes nothing.
Major commit which does many things, but the most prominent of which
is the final integration of the scrollback buffer with the hold buffer.
This fixes several annoying "features" and introduces a small truckload
of new features which have been requested recently.  Please see the
KNOWNBUGS or UPDATES file for more info, since I don't want this message
to be ridiculously long.

Document the /LOG command.

Truncate these files.

New keybindings system coming through.  Details can be found in doc/keys
and in a few other places. :)
-wd

I forgot to truncate this file when 1.1.4 was released. "oops".

Update documentation prior to epic4-1.1.6 release
Add "HAVE_GETSERVBYNAME" check to configure stuff.
Remove /SET RANDOM_LOCAL_PORTS which has gone away.
Fix some layout issues with gailib.c and change two function names.
Fix comment issue with ircsig.c
Fix uninitialized variable issue with keys.c
Remove mention of /SET RANDOM_LOCAL_PORTS in network.c

Added /STACK ... BIND (per discussion w/ hop)
-wd

Huge major commit #1 in the great IPv6 support addition...
Rather than include all of the changes here, read KNOWNBUGS changes.

Update docs for EPIC4-1.1.4

Document everything undocumented as of right now!

Document $serverctl().

Make the last changes (i think) to UPDATES -- this should pretty well
finish things off!

Document some more stuff.  Almost done!

* Misc updates to UPDATES.
* small bugfix for commandqueues.

Document some more stuff.

Document some more stuff.  It would be a great help to me if someone
would try to document some of this stuff that I didn't write.

Continue to document some more... Hopefully i'll finish today!
Documenting stuff is boring. ;-)

Bulk commit:
1) Fix typos in KNOWNBUGS
2) Flesh out the things in UPDATES that need documenting
3) Add target_file_write() to files.[ch] for send_text()'s use.
4) Create "reg.h", to hold protos for reg.c
5) Add some missing protos.
6) If /redirect'ing to 0 or to @<fd>, don't output to the screen.
7) Messages sent to target 0 are dropped (/redirect 0 now actually sends
   to target 0, and epic drops it.)  You can /query 0 now if you want.
8) Messages sent to @NUMBER get sent to the NUMBER file, where NUMBER is
   returned by $open().  For example, to paste stuff to log but not to screen:
        @fd = open(FILE w)
        query @$fd
        <paste some stuff>
        query
        @close($fd)
   or
        @fd = open(FILE w)
        redirect @$fd lastlog foo
        @close($fd)
9) Add a function to reg.c to compile a pattern into a regex -- experimental.
10) Fix some compile warnings regarding ssl.

The whole ROM_CHAR thing was an accident waiting to happen.  Removed.
Add /SET ALLOW_C1_CHARS to protect from the ascii char 128-159 attacks
upon XTerm and GNU Screen users.  Defaults to OFF.

Thanks go to crazyeddy and zinx for working on this in my absence.
Add /set rom_char (defaults to off) which determines whether ^R rom_char
sequences will be honored or dishonored by epic.  Dishonored sequences
are not removed; they are just mangled.  This will help you detect those
who might try to use this feature for less than noble purposes.

Re-set the ^R character to "mode 5" processing; it had been set to "mode 6"
as a stop-gap measure.

~/.epicrc support!  kb should like this.

This is the new highlight/attribute renderer.  It is a "true renderer"
because it actually renders things to look like what you say.  No longer
does turning on some attributes (color) turn others off, nor does turning
some off (bold) turn others off.  Some things may break with this, please
let me know, or feel free to pitch in and fix them.

Zinx will be happy to know that i did NOT use the epic5 "prepare_display"
routine because he was right, i did totaly break it.  I used the epic4
prepare_display function but just made it aware of the new attribute stuff.

Implement the "redirect sink", which instead of sending all output to another
irc server, drops the output entirely.  This is used by /flush (which is now
safe to use again) and can be used by the user via /redirect 0 to execute
a server query but suppress it's output.

Update the docs, fix the sorting in the functions list (oops).

Let the work on 1.1.2 commence!

This is a bulk commit -- it includes $unsplit(), a new built in function,
as well as documentation updates.

This is the last of the work before epic4-1.1.1.  If any of you want to
make any more changes, please make them right away.  Please feel free to
test this over the weekend, because EPIC4-1.1.1 will be released as an
alpha release next monday.

(barely) Documented the new Perl features and $igetrmatches(), but I'm not
quite sure if $igetrmatches() is the function in question.

Start documenting some of the stuff in 1.1.1.
Change comments for /lastlog to reflect recent changes.
Once I finish the "KNOWNBUGS" file, unless there are any issues
i am made aware of, I will release epic4-1.1.1 as an alpha release.

I started working on the updates file.
I may want to work on this this weekend, so I'm
committing it to know what i need to work on.

Commit #49 -- Add /xecho -v (echo to a visible window)
and add $sin(), $cos(), and $tan() functions. This is epic4-0.9.16-12.

Add the /for <var> in (<list>) {<commands>} command
Add the /for <var> from <min> to <max> {<commands>} command
Implement "break_args" that breaks argument lists to commands to an array.
Implement "skip_spaces" which skips leading spaces in a string.
This is commit #46, isn't it?

Commit #35 -- Update the KNOWNBUGS file since 0.9.15
Update the UDPATES file since last september (sheesh)
