Version 5.0 =========== Version 4.0 - 2016-11-09 ======================== - The separator between the IRC nickname and the IRC server is now '%' instead of '!'. This makes things simpler (only one separator to remember). The distinction between a JID referring to a channel and a JID refering to a nickname is based on the first character (# or & by default, but this can be customized by the server with the ISUPPORT extension). - Handle channel invitations in both directions. - Add support for `JID escaping <.http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html>`. - Save all channel messages into the database, with an ad-hoc option to disable this feature. - When joining a room, biboumi sends an history of the most recents messages found in the database. - Channel history can be retrieved using Message Archive Management. - Result Set Management can be used to request only parts of the IRC channel list. Version 3.0 - 2016-08-03 ======================== - Support multiple-nick sessions: a user can join an IRC channel behind one single nick, using multiple different clients, at the same time (as long as each client is using the same bare JID). - Database support for persistant per-user per-server configuration. Add `LiteSQL ` as an optional dependency. - Add ad-hoc commands that lets each user configure various things - Support an after-connect command that will be sent to the server just after the user gets connected to it. - Support the sending of a PASS command. - Lets the users configure their username and realname, if the realname_customization is set to true. - The remote TLS certificates are checked against the system’s trusted CAs, unless the user used the configuration option that ignores these checks. - Lets the user set a sha-1 hash to identify a server certificate that should always be trusted. - Add an outgoing_bind option. - Add an ad-hoc command to forcefully disconnect a user from one or more servers. - Let the user configure the incoming encoding of an IRC server (the default behaviour remains unchanged: check if it’s valid utf-8 and if not, decode as latin-1). - Support `multi-prefix `. - And of course, many bufixes. - Run unit tests and a test suite, build the RPM and check many things automatically using gitlab-ci. Version 2.0 - 2015-05-29 ======================== - List channels on an IRC server through an XMPP disco items request - Let the user send any arbitrary raw IRC command by sending a message to the IRC server’s JID. - By default, look for the configuration file as per the XDG basedir spec. - Support PING requests in all directions. - Improve the way we forward received NOTICEs by remembering to which users we previously sent a private message. This improves the user experience when talking to NickServ. - Support joining key-protected channels - Setting a participant's role/affiliation now results in a change of IRC mode, instead of being ignored. Setting Toto's affiliation to admin is now equivalent to “/mode +o Toto” - Fix the reconnection to the XMPP server to try every 2 seconds instead of immediately. This avoid hogging resources for nothing - Asynchronously resolve domain names by optionally using the DNS library c-ares. - Add a reload add-hoc command, to reload biboumi's configuration - Add a fixed_irc_server option. With this option enabled, biboumi can only connect to the one single IRC server configured Version 1.1 - 2014-07-16 ======================== - Fix a segmentation fault when connecting to an IRC server using IPv6 Version 1.0 - 2014-07-12 ======================== - First stable release. - Mostly complete MUC to IRC, and IRC to MUC support - Complete handling of private messages - Full IRC modes support: setting any IRC mode, and receiving notifications for every mode change - Verbose connection status notifications - Conversion from IRC formatting to XHTML-im - Ad-hoc commands support - Basic TLS support: auto-accepts all certificates, no cipher configuration, no way to force usage of TLS (it is used only if available, clear connection is automatically used as a fallback) - IPv6 support
