• DC-Hublink 1.3.3 released!

  The latest release supports colouring and other textual wizardries from IRC (read: mIRC) to IRC, while neatly omitting those for chat sent to NMDC and ADC

• dc-hublink 1.3.3 file released: dc-hublink-1.3.3.zip

  1.0.0 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 25-06-2007 Released :-B 1.0.1 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 27-06-2007 Executable was trying to access a file on the C-drive at startup, resulting in an illegible native VB error message, followed by a good old native VB crash. Disabled that, and implemented error-handling and userfriendliness for the debug file creation in case of failure. Debug file is now only created when the Start button is clicked, if the Debug check is set that is... 1.0.2 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 29-06-2007 Cosmetic: version in project wasn't updated, $UserCommand wasn't filtered out. Fixed CPU going crazy on WinSock_Error, sock's closed now when that happens, automatically triggering reconnect in due time 1.0.3 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 30-06-2007 If the dialogue box had about 5-10 MB of text in it, the bot would slow down that much that the test reconnect interval (1 minute) would get exceeded, thus forcing the bot to reconnect to already connected but slow hubs. This would result in connection time-outs, forcing reconnection, etc etc etc LOL So general behaviour would be that with 10 hubs or more, good chat and winamp / ASCII activity, and around 12 hours runtime, it would start reconnecting to a few hubs, causing a good load of CPU being taken up, and stopping or skipping relay to a (seemingly random) number of other hubs. Wow. So now the dialogue box is auto-cleaned when it reaches 0.5 MB in size, nicely telling you why that is, too. (not surprisingly, DC++ clients only show that much text per chat window) Fixed CPU going crazy on WinSock_Error (again), sock's unloaded now when that happens, automatically triggering reconnect in due time. (This one's pretty hard to test, let's hope this does the job) Fixed hub relay begin canceled after encounter of first hub not connected. This was a rather erratic behaviour as sometimes this would, and sometimes this wouldn't occur. Checking Winsock state would sometimes fail, probably between unloading and reconnecting it. Changed font in dialogue box to MS Sans 8 pt Added: total user count, automatically refreshed every minute. Included in hub info too, so users can now see hubs connected as well as total user count Added: filtering out user messages (lines that start with +) 1.0.4 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 01-07-2007 Forgot to re-enable moving capabilitiy (vb debug will crash with that on turned on) Somehow mysteriously, the test connect disappeared, causing a disconnect to result in a continuous reconnect, because the connection flipbit was never switched on again Changed Dialogue save & clean trigger to 128 KB 1.0.5 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 02-07-2007 Changed dates in changelog as some of them were off by a day :-B User count was losing track when hubs would disconnect & get reconnected. Putting addies into Config wasn't idiot-proof, you now get a nice message in the dialogue box when an addy is not correct Added validation for most important fields When more than 1 hub was offline, ye olde VB exception would pop up: fixed that Source: optimized code a bit, was getitng a bit sloppy 1.0.6 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 05-07-2007 Fixed: When systrayed, dialogue box would pop back up even if disabled Fixed: Screwed up on errorhandling a bit, causing red & green backgrounds in the Config screen not always to be accurate Added: exclude checkbox for OPs, so you can set it to kick OPs too. Make sure the bot's got a proper level to be able to do that (might be wise to not set it too high either) Added: extra exclude field, since there's not many default hubs out there Added: Fancy nicklist Redesigned entire nicklist architecture as a result To add: some neat right-clicks in nicklist, proper sort with OPs first, auto-size columns I slowed down sourceforge release interval as quality has apparently been suffering too much from that 1.0.7 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 05-07-2007 Fixed: OPs slipped through max message size when exluded Fixed: User count went way off (i.e. down) because newly connected users weren't counted 1.0.8 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 05-07-2007 Fixed: user count was working half on hubs with verli 0.98d Changed: addy now shows every 2.5 hours Added: yet another extra exclude field, since there's not many default hubs out there Somuch for the sourceforge release interval, yeah I know (...) 1.0.9 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 06-07-2007 Fixed: with PtokaX as primary hub OPs wouldn't get key, and user / OP count was way off. Nicklist wasn't reset either when primary hub would come back online again Fixed: when coming out of Systray, nicklist and dialogue are shown too. Dialogue only at that exact time when it is Disabled (otherwise you can't re-enable it without stopping / starting hublink) Changed: Font, for legibility reasons. Uglier, but more legible now... Changed: Debug "references" were sometimes still old and hadn't been updated. Every debug form / module reference is accurate now Changed: individual passes per hub now. Realised the giant security breach of having an OP or up with the same passwords in a dozen hubs :) Added: addy will show hubs, with abbreviation & dchub prefix now, as well as total user count. Will show 2 minutes after startup, then @ interval of 2.5 hours 1.0.10 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 10-07-2007 Fixed: bot tried to kick OPs for big messages even if exclude was checked. The decision matrix is now this: 1) Large messages will not be relayed 1a) If an Action is specified for large messages, it is executed 1b) If OPs are not excluded, that Action is executed for OPs as well 2) Floods will not be relayed when they exceed the maximum per seconds set 2a) If an Action is specified for floods exceeding max flood count per seconds set, it is executed 2b) If OPs are not excluded, that Action is executed for OPs as well 2c) If OPs are excluded, their message will not count towards flood count 2d) If max messages and seconds are set, but no Action is specified, auto-lock main WILL kick in, if applicable. So will Auto-unlock main Changed: About box, for passwords per hub & OPs check / uncheck, removed password in main screen 1.0.11 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 12-07-2007 Changed: a more moderate advertisement every 2.5 hours, not showing the actual hubs and link, but just the mere hub & user count. If Hub Info is enabled, a short text will follow mentioning to use that command to acquire more detailed information. If that command is used, all actually connected hubs are shown in PM, with the dc-prefix, and followed by the sourceforge link. I think this is a good compromise: as always, feel free to comment 1.0.12 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 13-07-2007 Fixed: forgot to undo the debug-hack (again, that's twice) that allows me to debug the application, and which takes care of proper alignment when a screen is moved Fixed: somehow an entirely numerical Nick would really screw things up. Probably some VB thingy, not a clue @ mo. Anyway, fixed now Changed: hub addy will show the web site now, not the sourceforge project entry Changed: added a bit to the About box, had to change font to Arial 9 1.0.13 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 15-07-2007 Added: Extra button(s) and field, to be able to put in words that should stop a message from being relayed to other hubs. No kicking or include / exclude OP, if you want that please go to website and click "Feature Requests", or click Forums, and submit an item in the Help Forum IMO there's no need for hub-wide kick as that's up to the discretion of the hub. And as the hublink won't relay it, it stays within the hub anyway. Max 20 words btw, no need to go crazy... Words are treated case-insensitive, and spaces are disregarded: d C H uB will match dchub 1.1.0 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 23-07-2007 Changed: Autoupdate has now been enabled Autostart on Windows start, and autoconnect has now been enabled DC Hublink DOESN'T YET FULLY support the ADC protocol, next to the NMDC protocol, but this is a nice try. Nicklist loads, hub loads, tiger is hardcoded. Oh well, can't have it all. Hate to work on 2 versions of the same project @ once, so this is it. 1.1.1 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 27-07-2007 Changed: Autoupdate has now been fixed, dumb Winsock wouldn't unload Changed: DC Hublink NOW FULLY supports the ADC protocol, next to the NMDC protocol, only the tiger is still hardcoded Added: dynamically check / uncheck hubs to include / exclude them on the hublink Added: hubs added will dynamically get picked up when they're checked (1 minute interval) 1.1.2 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 29-07-2007 Changed: UTF-8 to Unicode translation and vice versa, for chats between ADC and NMDC Changed: proper clean-up on disconnect for ADC hubs Fixed: ADC SID overwriting Nick on BINF update Fixed: Autoupdate info was getting added, not replaced Fixed: ADC to ADC was getting blanked Added: proper update of ADC nick with changing only the fields needing to be changed 1.1.3 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 03-09-2007 Fixed: not being able to connect to new hub if not added at end of list without stop & start (rare) Fixed: crash on update check if connection wouldn't close (very rare) Fixed: loading hublink by autostart with debugfile checked while debug file was locked, would crash it (very very rare) Changed: performance problems loading nicklist on primary hubs with hubs over 500 users. Takes about 20-30 seconds now to load 9K users with my cheap 2.6 Celeron. I'd still advise to take a small hub as primary hub, but if you have none, at least this is a lot better Added: only users / bots in nicklist are relayed. So no more need for Ynhub's CORE or any MOTD to exclude, and no fake people talking through hublink Added: Hexhub is also supported now, although it might take 10 consecutive logins when the settings are very tight 1.1.4 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 28-01-2008 Changed: performance problems loading nicklist on large primary hubs running Ynhub. Takes about 3 seconds per 1,000 users with my cheap 2.6 Celeron. I'd still advise to take a small hub as primary hub, but if you have none, at least this is a lot better. You can also Disable the nicklist (check the button on the nicklist) which will stop users being added to or removed from it Added: Users in nicklist can be PM-ed now, just right-click on them Added: A command to list all online users, per hub, including user count per hub. On request of Kevin H Added: Nick change on Hexhub is now supported Fixed: Speak in hub when only one hub connected 1.2.0 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 16-02-2008 Added: Complete PDF manual including tips & tricks, as the functionality now is a bit too much for just a small About screen Added: IRC-support. There's an extra screen, almost the same as Config, for use with IRC channels and servers Added: Nick change on ADC-hubs is now supported. It already was in 1.1.4, but never formally announced Added: OPs will be limited to twice the amount of messages allowed, by default. This in order to avoid anyone from spamming the link itself, as well as all hubs connected Changed: you need to prefix ADC-hubs with the adc prefix adc:// This in order to avoid connection retries with HexHub . Contrary to all previous versions from 1.1.0 and up, this specific prefix will not be removed anymore when DC Hublink is started Fixed: If the bot wants to send a PM but hub restrictions apply, the link (not you) would get a message like: KoningLat says to DCHublink: The message was too long ! but this has now been changed to a message directly to you: <DCHublink> PtokaX is blocking my message to you, comment is: The message was too long ! 1.2.1 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 16-02-2008 (yes, shameless indeed) Fixed: Fastest fix in history :( Keeping OPs from flooding was, so to say, VERY effective. In fact, once blocked, no chat from any OP was ever relayed again 1.2.2 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 20-02-2008 Fixed: OpChat & Chatroom messages were being interpreted as hub security messages warning the link about hub restrictions when sending PMs as response to user requests (...). Now changed this functionality to be only triggered when the security bot, supposed to be in the first Exclude field, equals the "alternate sender" in PM messages Fixed: unicode support for IRC to ADC (as NMDC doesn't support Unicode, I just can't do this for NMDC) Fixed: reconnecting to IRC server on "ping timeout" message from IRC server Fixed: delay on clicking Config Screen after startup has now been minimized Fixed: Registry entry was changed since 1.2.1. Is now back to the old one, so you might want to check the Config and / or IRC screen (sorry for the inconvenience - I will make an XML file for the settings to be stored in and retrieved from in the next release) 1.2.3 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 02-07-2008 Fixed: IRC user management (yes it wasn't pretty) Fixed: IRC reconnect attempt when someone else than the bot was kicked Changed: removed attempt to notify user of hub limits when trying to send back hub info Changed: new manual is out, fair amount of new stuff, you should check it out: 1.2 is the version you want Changed: made some labels bold, not really worth mentioning but it is a change... Changed: updated the manual, it's version 1.2 now Added: DC Hublink can now be used solely for flood protection as well Added: a pictureless DC Hublink is now a fact for those who want it 1.3.0 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 08-07-2008 Fixed: hublink couldn't connect in block chat mode because of empty connection in tag (famous last minute "minor thus untested" change) Fixed: lookup of SID with nick for ADC hubs (failure would result in code 200) Fixed: form About picture now also behaves as expected when killing pics Changed: redesign of interface. Pink is red now, background for pictureless hublink is grey, some other layout as well Added: nick per hub is possible now, on request of Wasti / Zvonimir Added: share can be set, on request of Wasti / Zvonimir. The user that tries to dl the fake filelist will get an appropriate message (unless stealth mode is activated) Added: slots can be set, on request of Wasti / Zvonimir Added: active / passive can be set, on request of Wasti / Zvonimir 1.3.1 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 19-07-2008 Fixed: lookup of SID with nick for ADC hubs (failure would result in code 200) - yes I did fix that in 1.3.0, but this error occured before the nicklist is populated (very rare) Fixed: now sending proper quit to ADC on disconnect Changed: upped the engine a little bit for peformance reasons Changed: first new subversion to manual, as new functionalities require some explanation Added: you can speak in specific hubs and channels as well now, on request of MW - rightclick the checkbox of a connected hub or channel in the Hubs or IRC screen Added: password check for IRC channels Added: separate PM-window, also gets saved to log like main chat-window Added: respond to PM's that get sent to you - click the line that contains the sender of the PM (you must have unique descriptions in the Abridge columns for this) Added: MC and PM window will be automatically disabled in case of floods Added: anouncement of hubs and users connected can now be variably set between every 1 - 48 hour(s) Added: date & time and sensible line get saved to log files when you close dc-hublink Added: a decent installer now makes things a lot easier, forcing the readme.txt to be almost entirely rewritten 1.3.2 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 18-08-2008 Fixed: changed name of download and auto-update function, so 'error 13 - Type mismatch' doesn't crash dc-hublink. Special thanks go out to newb0rn for notifying me so quickly Fixed: closing NickList and / or Dialogue screen is definite now, they won't reappear again Fixed: it was impossible to leave Hub List and User List empty Fixed: Clear and CopyAll now work with Dialogue screen (tnx Spader) Fixed: Auto-clear now works with Dialogue screen (tnx Spader) Fixed: Unicode & UTF-8 stuff for ADC, NMDC and IRC (tnx again Spader) - you can put funny chars in Abridge and Nick too now Changed: if you remove a Hub or IRC entry but acidentally leave a space, that's not a problem anymore - tnx Morrowind Changed: font now shows Unicode everywhere - although it's still Unicode MS so doesn't work for everything... Changed: enabled / disabled some functionalities now when appropriate Changed: manual, 43 pages now Added: decent chat-window for PM's and main chat, Input Boxes were way too many, and holding up execution Added: Leech option, on request of GreenBee - for the shy people ;-) 1.3.3 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 02-09-2008 Fixed: removed the trailing > when sending single chat to ADC and IRC Fixed: Abridge can now contain funny chars for IRC too Fixed: chat now (again) immediately stops from being relayed when a hub or channel is unchecked (I went a bit wild on the optimisation) Fixed: flood count wasn't reset for Leech mode Changed: if Abridge is empty, only one space is shown Added: IRC colours, bold, underline and reverse are relayed to IRC only, and stripped towards NMDC and ADC KoningLat
