gccirc-announce Mailing List for GCC IrC script for ircII clients

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Version 0.30 of the gcc script for ircII has been released.  YOu can grab
a tar ball at:
http://gccirc.sourceforge.net/gcc-0.30.tar.gz
This is a pretty large patch but a great amount of its size is do to
removal of the old xdcc code.  Autoget has been put back but the public
offering stuff is probably gone for ever.
Note that you need to be running a 2001 version of ircII for this version
of the script to work correctly.  If you are unable to upgrade your client
you can still grab older versions of the script at:
http://gccirc.sourceforge.net/old

Following is the list of changes since V0.29:

(V0.30) Wed Apr 10 00:32:57 EST 2002 ground/X
Changed my email address in the README to gr...@la... since iname
is going pay.
Fixed the ctime alias to not display a connect time if there is no server.
Added a /ctime alias to display how long you have been connected to your
current server.
Fixed a bug that would cause the default setaway message to be used if the
first character of the user supplied nessage was 0.  Also fixed the same
problem in /setback
The last time the gcc settings were saved is now stored in the save file.
We now check to make sure the dcc directory set in the save file is
correct on startup incase it has been removed since the last load.
Removed more argless calls to wait in the code to setup the gcc dir.
The short form of /dcc chat "/dc" is back.  I never meant to drop this
from the script.
Removed a nasty call to wait in the code that creates the gcc settings
directory
 Script logs are now only made when you are setaway
When we notice a remote user about a dcc autoget request already existing
we now only give the filename not the full path.  The same thing is true
for DCC log entries when setaway
msgs as well as script logs are now saved to disk with cat
Fixed a long standing bug that wouldn't allow the last person on the
notify list to be removed.
Converted the log function to use the new cat commmand in ircII.  This is
when I will start getting complaints from people running versions of ircII
before the cat command was added because cat is now required to save the
msg log when you are away.  All files generated by gcc now use this cat
command this closes some nasty security wholes.
 Removed some long forgotten debugging code from the naddop command
The correct value of the invite on join toggle is now reflected in the
status line.
The standerd dcc messages generated by ircII are no longer supressed by
the autoget code.  Often times ircII has a better idea of what's going on.
Murged and simplified dcc autoget code from ph-2.13.  One note the
original code from ph-2.13 would not allow the receiving of any filename
starting with lice AKA lice*.  How fucking lame, this has been removed.
 Murged code to setup the gcc directory from ph-2.13
Added a section to the help file about gcc's status line.
Removed all of the code related to DCC file transfers in the script.  The
code was hopelessly broken and very hard to read.  No good code will ever
come from it so I decided to remove it and break quite a few working
features.  Call it growing pains.
