[a70b7d7] | 28 | Version 3.4: |
---|
[61d21e5b] | 29 | - First release pretty much fully prepared by dx instead of Wilmer. Just look |
---|
| 30 | at the tightly structured changelog! |
---|
[a70b7d7] | 31 | - Main repository migrated from bzr to git |
---|
| 32 | - Some API/ABI changes. Recompiling third party plugins is required! |
---|
| 33 | - Important bugfixes: |
---|
| 34 | * Fix memory leak when calling word_wrap() on groupchat messages (dx) |
---|
| 35 | * Fix segfault after a file transfer is complete (dx) |
---|
| 36 | * Fix bug where NSS would refuse to work in forkdaemon mode (dx) |
---|
| 37 | * Fix several bugs with UTF8 nicks (dx) |
---|
| 38 | * Fix some nasty deadlocks that appared mostly with libpurple (dx) |
---|
| 39 | - General changes: |
---|
| 40 | * Add a 'pattern' parameter to the blist command, to filter it (tribut) |
---|
| 41 | * Implemented /kick support, only supported by purple for now (jgeboski) |
---|
| 42 | * Add a "special" state to show_users (mapped to the % prefix) (jgeboski) |
---|
| 43 | * Improved support for cygwin, openbsd and darwin (jcopenha) |
---|
| 44 | * Create temporary users instead of showing "Message from unknown |
---|
| 45 | participant" (jgeboski) |
---|
| 46 | - purple: |
---|
| 47 | * Local contact lists for gadugadu and whatsapp (dx) |
---|
| 48 | * Add topic and name_hint to groupchats (seirl) |
---|
| 49 | * Support for 'input' requests (such as telegram auth codes) (seirl) |
---|
| 50 | Note that telegram-purple itself is rather unstable ATM, it may crash. |
---|
| 51 | - jabber: |
---|
| 52 | * Handle compressed DNS responses in SRV lookup (jcopenha) |
---|
| 53 | * Fix case sensitivity issues with JIDs (GRMrGecko, dx) |
---|
| 54 | * Implement XEP-0203 style message timestamps (dx) |
---|
| 55 | * Fix "Server claims your JID is X instead of Y" warnings (dx) |
---|

| 64 | - msn: |
---|
| 65 | * Disabled module by default. The protocol we used (MSNP18) stopped working |
---|
| 66 | last week. This is being worked on, but it's far from ready for release. |
---|
| 67 | - And lots of small bugfixes, too many to list here. |

[fb4e9a3f] | 70 | |

[6f6b6c7] | 71 | Version 3.2.2: |
---|
| 72 | - The OTR plugin now uses libotr 4.0 (AKA libotr5 in debian based distros) |
---|
| 73 | - Rejecting buddy requests in jabber won't accept them. Sorry for that. |
---|
| 74 | - Purple builds can now enable built in protocols when configuring, by |
---|
| 75 | passing a parameter such as --jabber=1 to configure |
---|
| 76 | - You can now use /oper to change passwords with "ac x set -del password" |
---|
| 77 | - Complex unicode characters (non-BMP) now display correctly in twitter. |
---|
| 78 | - A few init / build script / pkg-config fixes. Added "install-systemd" |
---|
| 79 | make target. |
---|
| 80 | |
---|
| 81 | Finished 5 Jul 2014 |
---|
| 82 | |
---|
[08224f5] | 83 | Version 3.2.1: |
---|
| 84 | - Most important change: http_client updated to use HTTP/1.1, now required |
---|
| 85 | by Twitter. |
---|
| 86 | - fill_by setting can now be used to fill a channel contacts *not* in a |
---|
| 87 | certain group/on a certain account/etc. See "help set fill_by" |
---|
| 88 | - Added utf8_nicks setting which lets you use non-ASCII nicknames for your |
---|
| 89 | contacts. Might not work with all IRC clients, use at your own risk! |
---|
| 90 | - Lots of bugfixes. |
---|
| 91 | |
---|
| 92 | Finished 27 Nov 2013 |
---|
| 93 | |
---|
[a906b77] | 94 | Version 3.2: |
---|
| 95 | - By far the most important change, a thorough update to the Twitter |
---|
| 96 | module: |
---|
| 97 | * Now using Twitter API 1.1, |
---|
| 98 | * which means it's now using JSON instead of XML, |
---|
| 99 | * which means access to the streaming API (Twitter only, other Twitter |
---|
| 100 | API services don't seem to have it). No more 60-second polls, #twitter |
---|
| 101 | looks even more like real IRC now! |
---|
| 102 | * Also, the streaming API means nice things like receiving DMs. |
---|
| 103 | * show_ids, already enabled by default for a while, now uses hexa- |
---|
| 104 | decimal numbers, which means a 256-entry backlog instead of just 100. |
---|
| 105 | * Added a mode=strict setting which requires everything to be a command. |
---|
| 106 | The "post" command should then be used to post a Tweet. |
---|
| 107 | - Jabber module bugfix that fixes connection issues with at least Google |
---|
| 108 | Talk but reportedly some other servers (OpenFire?) as well. |
---|
| 109 | - SSL modules improved a little bit. GnuTLS module now supports SNI and |
---|
| 110 | session caching. Shouldn't change much, but hopefully reduces latency |
---|
| 111 | and bandwidth usage a little bit. |
---|
| 112 | - A bunch of other fixes/improvements here and there. |
---|
| 113 | |
---|
[106f19c] | 114 | Finished 6 Jan 2013 |
---|
[a906b77] | 115 | |
---|
[13df515] | 116 | Version 3.0.6: |
---|
| 117 | - Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18: |
---|
| 118 | * Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to |
---|
| 119 | one account from multiple locations). |
---|
| 120 | * Restored support for *sending* offline messages. |
---|
| 121 | * Some support for federated (i.e. Yahoo!) contacts. (Only messages |
---|
| 122 | might work, you won't see them online.) |
---|
| 123 | - Twitter: |
---|
| 124 | * Work-around for stalls that are still happening sometimes. |
---|
| 125 | * Added "favourite" command. |
---|
| 126 | * "show_ids" enabled by default. |
---|
| 127 | - Handle see-other-host Jabber messages which should fix support for |
---|
| 128 | MSN-XMPP. |
---|
| 129 | - Misc. fixes and improvements. |
---|
| 130 | |
---|
| 131 | Finished 14 Oct 2012 |
---|
| 132 | |
---|
[00d6760] | 133 | Version 3.0.5: |
---|
| 134 | - SSL certificate verification (edit your bitlbee.conf to enable it). |
---|
| 135 | Works only with GnuTLS! |
---|
| 136 | - OAuth2 support in Jabber module (works with Google Talk, Facebook and |
---|
| 137 | MSN Messenger). |
---|
| 138 | - Support for ad-hoc Jabber groupchats. Just create a channel and start |
---|
| 139 | inviting people, similar to how this works on other IM networks. Works |
---|
| 140 | fine with GTalk, depends on a conference server being set up on other |
---|
| 141 | networks. |
---|
| 142 | - Allow old-style Jabber login (non-SASL), this solves problems with some |
---|
| 143 | old/buggy Jabber servers. (acc jabber set sasl off) |
---|
| 144 | - Use HTTPS for OAuth1 authentication traffic. |
---|
| 145 | - Awareness of Twitter's t.co URL lengt^Wshortening when checking message |
---|
| 146 | length. |
---|
| 147 | - Fixed identi.ca OAuth support. OAuth will now always be used for both |
---|
| 148 | Twitter and identi.ca accounts. |
---|
| 149 | - Fix nick_format=%full_name with libpurple. |
---|
| 150 | - Instead of "protocol(handle)", use the account tags introduced in 3.0 |
---|
| 151 | when root wants to refer to an account (in log messages, queries, etc.) |
---|
| 152 | - Many small bugfixes, improvements, etc. |
---|
| 153 | |
---|
[c59f594] | 154 | Finished 18 Feb 2012 |
---|
[00d6760] | 155 | |
---|
[df98ee8] | 156 | Version 3.0.4: |
---|
| 157 | - Merged Skype support. This used to be a separate plugin, and it still is, |
---|
| 158 | but by including it with BitlBee by default it will be easier to keep it |
---|
| 159 | in sync with changes to BitlBee. |
---|
| 160 | - Fixed a file descriptor leak bug that may have caused strange behaviour |
---|
| 161 | in BitlBee sessions running for a long time. |
---|
| 162 | - Now fetches Twitter mentions as well if the "fetch_mentions" account |
---|
| 163 | setting is enabled. |
---|
| 164 | - With t.co now all over Twitter, show the original (but truncated) URL |
---|
| 165 | between <brackets>. |
---|
| 166 | - Fixed MSN Messenger login issues ("timeout" while fetching buddy list). |
---|
| 167 | - Another (related) GnuTLS compatibility fix (now 2.13+?). |
---|
| 168 | |
---|
| 169 | Finished 4 Dec 2011 (Exactly 6 years since 1.0!) |
---|
| 170 | |
---|
[52a735e] | 171 | Version 3.0.3: |
---|
| 172 | - Fixed Twitter compatibility. (The API call used to get the following list |
---|
| 173 | was deprecated.) |
---|
| 174 | - Twitter: Enable the show_ids setting to assign a two-digit short ID to |
---|
| 175 | recent tweets to use for retweets and replies (so you can RT/reply to more |
---|
| 176 | than just a person's last message). |
---|
| 177 | - Some other Twitter fixes/improvements. |
---|
| 178 | - "otr reconnect" command and some other fixes. |
---|
| 179 | - GnuTLS 2.12 compatibility fix. |
---|
| 180 | - Include "FLOOD=0/9999" in the 005/ISUPPORT line at login to hint the IRC |
---|
| 181 | client that rate limiting is not required. (Next step: Get IRC clients to |
---|
| 182 | parse it.) |
---|
| 183 | - Other stuff too small to mention. |
---|
| 184 | |
---|
| 185 | Finished 12 Jun 2011 |
---|
| 186 | |
---|
[f68fd5f] | 187 | Version 3.0.2: |
---|
| 188 | - Fixed MSN login issues with @msn.com accounts. |
---|
| 189 | - /CTCP support: You can CTCP VERSION Jabber contacts, and CTCP NUDGE MSN |
---|
| 190 | contacts. More may come later, ideas are welcome. |
---|
| 191 | - By default, leave Twitter turned on for libpurple builds. |
---|
| 192 | - Allow using /OPER to identify/register as well. (Password security hack.) |
---|
| 193 | - Fixed proxy support with libpurple. |
---|
| 194 | - Some minor changes/fixes. |
---|
| 195 | |
---|
| 196 | Finished 7 Mar 2011 |
---|
| 197 | |
---|
[bdedc14] | 198 | Version 3.0.1: |
---|
| 199 | - Fixed some bugs that were found only after releasing 3.0, including |
---|
| 200 | Jabber contacts never going offline, MSN login issues, compilation |
---|
| 201 | issues on some non-Linux systems, a fairly big memory leak in the MSN |
---|
| 202 | SOAP code, etc... |
---|
| 203 | - Better handling of multiple control channels and set private=false. |
---|
| 204 | - Using login.icq.com for ICQ logins again since AOL sold ICQ so it |
---|
| 205 | doesn't live on the AIM servers anymore. |
---|
| 206 | - Fixed ability to join password-protected Jabber rooms. |
---|
| 207 | - Time out if logging into an account takes too long. |
---|
| 208 | - Fixed NSS SSL module. |
---|
| 209 | - Support for server-side Gadu-Gadu contact lists (via libpurple, there's |
---|
| 210 | still no native gg support). |
---|
[b11b781] | 211 | - Allow omitting password when using "account add", the password can be |
---|
| 212 | entered using /OPER to prevent echoing to screen and logs. |
---|
[bdedc14] | 213 | |
---|
[b11b781] | 214 | Finished 24 Nov 2010 |
---|
[bdedc14] | 215 | |
---|
| 216 | Version 3.0: |
---|
[ecae65f] | 217 | - Important: This version drops backward compatibility with the file format |
---|
| 218 | used for user settings in versions before 1.2. If you're upgrading from |
---|
| 219 | very old BitlBee versions (like 1.0.x), you'll have to recreate your |
---|
| 220 | BitlBee account - or use an 1.2.x BitlBee once to do the conversion. |
---|
[262bc7e] | 221 | - Rewrote the IRC core, which brings: |
---|
| 222 | * Support for multiple (control) channels, so you can have one channel per |
---|
| 223 | buddy group, per IM account/protocol, or for example a &offline with all |
---|
| 224 | offline contacts. See "help channels" for information on how to use this. |
---|
| 225 | * You can also leave and rejoin all channels. Being in &bitlbee is no |
---|
| 226 | longer required. |
---|
| 227 | * Now you can start groupchats by just joining a new channel and inviting |
---|
| 228 | contacts. (The "chat with" command still works as well.) |
---|
| 229 | * You can change your nickname, whenever you want. |
---|
| 230 | * Root commands: |
---|
| 231 | + To hopefully resolve confusion about the "account set" syntax, the |
---|
| 232 | ordering was changed slightly: "account set acc/setting value" |
---|
| 233 | becomes "account acc set setting value". Obviously the same order |
---|
| 234 | should now be used for other account subcommands. |
---|
| 235 | + Shortcuts: Instead of "account list" you can say "acc li". |
---|
| 236 | * /whois shows idle/login times of your contacts when available. |
---|
| 237 | * paste_buffer (previously known as buddy_sendbuffer) now works for chats |
---|
| 238 | as well. |
---|
| 239 | * The nick_source setting was replaced with a nick_format setting, which |
---|
| 240 | looks more or less like a format string, and lets you tweak how nicknames |
---|
[bf2ebd8] | 241 | for contacts are generated in more detail. It also tries to convert non- |
---|
| 242 | ASCII characters (i.e. accents) properly. |
---|
[262bc7e] | 243 | * A per-channel show_users setting lets you configure exactly which kinds |
---|
| 244 | of contacts (online/away/offline) should show up in a channel and what |
---|
[bf2ebd8] | 245 | modes (none/voice/etc) they should have. Like show_offline, but together |
---|
| 246 | with other new features it can for example create an &offline channel |
---|
| 247 | with just offline contacts. |
---|
[262bc7e] | 248 | * If you connect (and identify) to a BitlBee server you're already |
---|
| 249 | connected to, you can take over the existing session instead of starting |
---|
| 250 | a new one. |
---|
| 251 | * More correct validation of channel names: They can contain pretty much |
---|
| 252 | any character, unlike nicknames. |
---|
| 253 | - Support for using libpurple instead of BitlBee's built-in IM protocol |
---|
| 254 | modules. This can be enabled by passing --purple=1 to the configure script. |
---|
| 255 | * This adds support for many more IM protocols to BitlBee. |
---|
| 256 | * And new functionality to existing protocols. |
---|
| 257 | * This is and will always be optional and using it on public servers is |
---|
| 258 | *not* recommended. It should be pretty stable, but costs more RAM/etc. |
---|
[bf2ebd8] | 259 | * Switching to libpurple should be pretty transparent. See "help purple" |
---|
| 260 | for a list of supported protocols (works only in libpurple-enabled |
---|
| 261 | binaries). |
---|
[327af51] | 262 | - Rewritten MSN module, implementing MSNP15 instead of the old MSNP8: |
---|
| 263 | * MSNP8 support from MSN was getting pretty unreliable. There were issues |
---|
[2af3e23] | 264 | with remembering display names and adding contacts/auth requests (or |
---|
| 265 | even contacts silently getting blocked!). This upgrade should fix all |
---|
| 266 | of that. |
---|
[327af51] | 267 | * Support for sending offline messages. |
---|
| 268 | * Support for setting and reading status messages. |
---|
[7c5a3be5] | 269 | - Integrated the bitlbee-otr branch in a mostly non-intrusive way. Since |
---|
| 270 | this is not end-to-end it should *not* be enabled on public servers. |
---|
| 271 | Distro packagers are requested to offer OTR as a separately installable |
---|
| 272 | plugin. (Compile with --otr=plugin) Please do not enable it by default as |
---|
| 273 | there is no easy way to disable OTR once the plugin is loaded/built in. |
---|
[262bc7e] | 274 | - Support for file transfers, in and out. /DCC SEND a file to a contact and |
---|
| 275 | it becomes a file transfer, and incoming file transfers become /DCC SENDs |
---|
| 276 | to you. Note that this is mostly useful when combined with libpurple, as |
---|
| 277 | only the Jabber native protocol module currently supports file transfers. |
---|
[bf2ebd8] | 278 | - Updated Yahoo! module to be in sync again with libyahoo2. This mostly |
---|
| 279 | fixes issues with authorization requests. |
---|
[ecae65f] | 280 | - Show if a contact is mobile or not. See "help set mobile_is_away". |
---|
| 281 | - Easier handling of XMPP chatroom invitations. |
---|
| 282 | - The chatroom mode of the Twitter module is now enabled by default, since |
---|
| 283 | this was by far the most popular. To disable it, see "help set mode". |
---|
| 284 | - Added some Twitter-specific commands that can only be used in the Twitter |
---|
| 285 | window. Most important addition: Retweets. See "help set commands". |
---|
| 286 | - Removed some ancient account/nick migration scripts and added one for |
---|
| 287 | easier switching from Pidgin and other libpurple-based clients to BitlBee. |
---|
| 288 | - Many bug fixes in both the core and IM modules, small feature enhancements |
---|
| 289 | and other minor changes. |

---|
[262bc7e] | 292 | |
---|
[00540d4] | 293 | Version 1.2.8: |
---|
| 294 | - Now always using the AIM-style authentication method for OSCAR connections, |
---|
| 295 | even when connecting to ICQ. This solves login issues some people were |
---|
| 296 | having. (If you have problems, try changing the old_icq_auth setting.) |
---|
| 297 | - Twitter: |
---|
| 298 | * Allow changing the Twitter API base URL so the module can also be used |
---|
| 299 | for identi.ca or any other compatible network. |
---|
| 300 | * Fetch the full list of Twitter contacts instead of slowly adding all |
---|
| 301 | contacts as they post a message. |
---|
| 302 | * Fixed message length counting. |
---|
| 303 | * Allow following/unfollowing people using the usual add/remove commands. |
---|
| 304 | * Better error reporting. |
---|
| 305 | - Added a user_agent setting to the Jabber module to get around artificial |
---|
| 306 | client restrictions. |
---|
| 307 | - Allow nick changes (although only before register/identify). |
---|
| 308 | - Some more minor bugfixes/etc. |
---|
| 309 | |
---|
| 310 | Finished 4 Jul 2010 |
---|
| 311 | |
---|
[df1ae622] | 312 | Version 1.2.7: |
---|
| 313 | - Fixed problems with MSN Messenger authentication. ("Could not parse |
---|
| 314 | Passport server response") |
---|
| 315 | - Fixed broken typing notifications when talking to GTalk contacts. |
---|
| 316 | - Fixed an issue with non-anonymous Jabber chatrooms polluting the nick |
---|
| 317 | namespace, sometimes generating odd warning messages. |
---|
| 318 | - Restored ability to start groupchats on ICQ. |
---|
| 319 | - Added show_offline setting that will also show offline contacts in the |
---|
| 320 | control channel. |
---|
| 321 | - OAuth support for Twitter: This means the module will keep working after |
---|
| 322 | June (this also changes "via API" under your tweets into "via BitlBee"). |
---|
| 323 | |
---|
| 324 | Finished 15 May 2010 |
---|
| 325 | |
---|
[db57e7c] | 326 | Version 1.2.6a: |
---|
| 327 | - Fixed a typo that renders the Twitter groupchat mode unusable. A last- |
---|
| 328 | minute change that came a few minutes late. |
---|
| 329 | |
---|
| 330 | Finished 19 Apr 2010 |
---|
| 331 | |
---|
[c0417e8] | 332 | Version 1.2.6: |
---|
[b6190ca] | 333 | - Native (very basic) support for Twitter, implemented by Geert Mulders. |
---|
| 334 | Currently supported are posting tweets, reading the ones of people you |
---|
| 335 | follow, and sending (not yet receiving!) direct messages. |
---|
[c0417e8] | 336 | - Fixed format of status messages in /WHOIS to improve IRC client |
---|
| 337 | compatibility. |
---|
| 338 | - Show timestamps of offline messages/channel backlogs. |
---|
| 339 | - Allow saving MSN display names locally since sometimes this stuff breaks |
---|
| 340 | server-side. (Use the local_display_name per-account setting.) |
---|
| 341 | - Suppress empty "Headline:" messages for certain new XMPP broadcast |
---|
| 342 | messages. |
---|
| 343 | - Better handling of XMPP contacts with multiple resources on-line. Default |
---|
| 344 | behaviour now is to write to wherever the last message came from, or to |
---|
| 345 | the bare JID (usually becomes a broadcast) if there wasn't any recent msg. |
---|
[f4bcc22] | 346 | - Added a switchboard_keepalives setting which should solve some issues with |
---|
| 347 | talking to offline MSN contacts. (Although full support for offline |
---|
| 348 | messages is not ready yet!) |
---|
[c0417e8] | 349 | - The usual misc. bug fixes. |
---|
| 350 | |
---|
[f4bcc22] | 351 | Finished 19 Apr 2010 |
---|
[c0417e8] | 352 | |
---|
[7e2b593] | 353 | Version 1.2.5: |
---|
| 354 | - Many bug fixes, including a fix for MSN login issues, Jabber login timing |
---|
| 355 | issues, Yahoo! crashes at login time with huge contact lists, |
---|
| 356 | - Avoid linking in a static version of libresolv now that glibc has all |
---|
| 357 | relevant functions available in the dynamic version. |
---|
| 358 | - Improved away state code and added the ability to set (non-away) status |
---|
[a1ac227] | 359 | messages using "set status" (also possible per account) and see them in |
---|
| 360 | blist and /whois output. |
---|
[7e2b593] | 361 | - Added a post-1.2 equivalent of encode/decode to quickly encrypt/decrypt |
---|
| 362 | passwords in a way that BitlBee can read them. |
---|
| 363 | - Allow using the full name for generating nicknames, instead of just the |
---|
| 364 | handle. This is especially useful when using the Facebook XMPP server. |
---|
| 365 | - Auto reconnect is now enabled by default since all protocols can properly |
---|
| 366 | detect cases where auto reconnect should be avoided (i.e. concurrent |
---|
| 367 | logins). |
---|
[f9928cb] | 368 | - Changed the default resource_select setting which should reduce message |
---|
| 369 | routing issues on Jabber (i.e. messages going someone's phone instead of |
---|
| 370 | the main client). |
---|
[7e2b593] | 371 | |
---|
[c0417e8] | 372 | Finished 17 Mar 2010 |
---|
[a1ac227] | 373 | |
---|
[3650088] | 374 | Version 1.2.4: |
---|
| 375 | - Most important change (and main reason for releasing now): Upgraded Yahoo! |
---|
| 376 | module to a newer version to get it working again. |
---|
| 377 | - join_chat command replaced with the much better chat command: |
---|
| 378 | * Similar to how account replaced login/slist/logout. Add a chatroom once, |
---|
| 379 | then just /join it like any other room. Also automatic joining at login |
---|
| 380 | time is now possible. |
---|
| 381 | * Note that the old way of starting groupchats (/join #nickname) is now |
---|
| 382 | also deprecated, use "chat with" instead. |
---|
| 383 | * See "help chat" and "help chat add" for more information. |
---|
| 384 | - Rewrote bitlbee.conf parser to be less dumb. |
---|
| 385 | - Fixed compatibility (hopefully) with AIM mobile messages, certain kinds |
---|
| 386 | of Google Talk chatrooms. |
---|
| 387 | - Fixed numerous stability/reliability bugs over the last year. |
---|
| 388 | |
---|
| 389 | Finished 17 Oct 2009 |
---|
| 390 | |
---|
[ba3a8a5] | 391 | Version 1.2.3: |
---|
| 392 | - Fixed one more flaw similar to the previous hijacking bug, caused by incon- |
---|
| 393 | sistent handling of the USTATUS_IDENTIFIED state. All code touching these |
---|
| 394 | variables was reviewed and should be correct now. |
---|
| 395 | |
---|
| 396 | Finished 7 Sep 2008 |
---|
| 397 | |
---|
[b9e2539] | 398 | Version 1.2.2: |
---|
| 399 | - Security bugfix: It was possible to hijack accounts (without gaining access |
---|
| 400 | to the old account, it's simply an overwrite) |
---|
| 401 | - Some more stability improvements. |
---|
| 402 | - Fixed bug where people with non-lowercase nicks couldn't drop their account. |
---|
| 403 | - Easier upgrades of non-forking daemon mode servers (using the DEAF |
---|
| 404 | command). |
---|
| 405 | - Can be cross-compiled for Win32 now! (No support for SSL yet though, which |
---|
| 406 | makes it less useful for now.) |
---|
| 407 | - Exponential backoff on auto-reconnect. |
---|
| 408 | - Changing passwords gives less confusing feedback ("password is empty") now. |
---|
| 409 | |
---|
| 410 | Finished 26 Aug 2008 |
---|
| 411 | |
---|
[bfe7caa] | 412 | Version 1.2.1: |
---|
| 413 | - Fixed proxy support. |
---|
| 414 | - Fixed stalling issues while connecting to Jabber when using the OpenSSL |
---|
| 415 | module. |
---|
| 416 | - Fixed problem with GLib and ForkDaemon where processes didn't die when |
---|
| 417 | the client disconnects. |
---|
| 418 | - Fixed handling of "set charset none". (Which pretty much breaks the account |
---|
| 419 | completely in 1.2.) |
---|
[5ecf96b] | 420 | - You can now automatically identify yourself to BitlBee by setting a server |
---|
| 421 | password in your IRC client. |
---|
| 422 | - Compatible with all crazy kinds of line endings that clients can send. |
---|
[fb4e9a3f] | 423 | - Changed root nicknames are now saved. |
---|
| 424 | - Added ClientInterface setting to bind() outgoing connections to a specific |
---|
| 425 | network interface. |
---|
| 426 | - Support for receiving Jabber chatroom invitations. |
---|
| 427 | - Relaxed port restriction of the Jabber module: added ports 80 and 443. |
---|
| 428 | - Preserving case in Jabber resources of buddies, since these should |
---|
| 429 | officially be treated as case sensitive. |
---|
| 430 | - Fully stripping spaces from AIM screennames, this didn't happen completely |
---|
[e88fe7da] | 431 | which severely breaks the IRC protocol. |
---|
[fb4e9a3f] | 432 | - Removed all the yellow tape around daemon mode, it's pretty mature by now: |
---|
| 433 | testing.bitlbee.org serves all (~30) SSL users from one daemon mode |
---|
| 434 | process without any serious stability issues. |
---|
| 435 | - Fixed GLib <2.6 compatibility issue. |
---|
| 436 | - Misc. memory leak/crash fixes. |
---|
[bfe7caa] | 437 | |
---|
[d048ffc] | 438 | Finished 24 Jun 2008 |
---|
[bfe7caa] | 439 | |
---|
[8c2008e] | 440 | Version 1.2: |
---|
[a5ac9f9] | 441 | - Added ForkDaemon mode next to the existing Daemon- and inetd modes. With |
---|
| 442 | ForkDaemon you can run BitlBee as a stand-alone daemon and every connection |
---|
| 443 | will run in its own process. No more need to configure inetd, and still you |
---|
| 444 | don't get the stability problems BitlBee unfortunately still has in ordinary |
---|
| 445 | (one-process) daemon mode. |
---|
| 446 | - Added inter-process/connection communication. This made it possible to |
---|
| 447 | implement some IRC operator features like WALLOPs, KILL, DIE, REHASH and |
---|
| 448 | more. |
---|
| 449 | - Added hooks for using libevent instead of GLib for event handling. This |
---|
| 450 | should improve scalability, although this won't really be useful yet because |
---|
| 451 | the one-process daemon mode is not reliable enough. |
---|
| 452 | - BitlBee now makes the buddy quits when doing "account off" look like a |
---|
| 453 | netsplit. Modern IRC clients show this in a different, more compact way. |
---|
[7df5a08] | 454 | (This can be disabled if your client doesn't support this.) |
---|
[670204f] | 455 | - GLib 1.x compatibility was dropped. BitlBee now requires GLib 2.4 or newer. |
---|
| 456 | This allows us to use more GLib features (like the XML parser). By now GLib |
---|
| 457 | 1.x is so old that supporting it really isn't necessary anymore. |
---|
[a5ac9f9] | 458 | - Many, many, MANY little changes, improvements, fixes. Using non-blocking |
---|
[d07c3a8] | 459 | I/O as much as possible, replaced the Gaim (0.59, IOW heavily outdated) |
---|
| 460 | API, fixed lots of little bugs (including bugs that affected daemon mode |
---|
| 461 | stability). See the bzr logs for more information. |
---|
| 462 | - One of the user-visible changes from the API change: You can finally see |
---|
| 463 | all away states/messages properly. |
---|
| 464 | - Added units tests. Test coverage is very minimal for now. |
---|
| 465 | - Better charset handling: Everything is just converted from/to UTF-8 right |
---|
| 466 | in the IRC core, and charset mismatches are detected (if possible) and the |
---|
| 467 | user is asked to resolve this before continuing. Also, UTF-8 is the default |
---|
| 468 | setting now, since that's how the world seems to work these days. |
---|
[ec0355f] | 469 | - One can now keep hashed passwords in bitlbee.conf instead of the cleartext |
---|
| 470 | version. |
---|
[9829ae0] | 471 | - Most important change: New file format for user data (accounts, nicks and |
---|
| 472 | settings). Migration to the new format should happen transparently, |
---|
| 473 | BitlBee will read the old files and once you quit/save it will save in the |
---|
| 474 | new format. It is recommended to delete the old files (BitlBee doesn't do |
---|
| 475 | this automatically, it will just ignore them) since they won't be used |
---|
| 476 | anymore (and since the old file format is a security risk). Some advantages |
---|
| 477 | of this file format switch: |
---|
| 478 | * Safer format, since the identify-password is now salted before generating |
---|
| 479 | a checksum. This way one can't use MD5 reverse lookup databases to crack |
---|
| 480 | passwords. Also, the IM-account passwords are encrypted using RC4 instead |
---|
| 481 | of the simple obfuscation scheme which BitlBee used so far. |
---|
| 482 | * Easier to extend than the previous format (at least the .nicks format was |
---|
| 483 | horribly limited). |
---|
| 484 | * Nicknames for buddies are now saved per-account instead of per-protocol. |
---|
| 485 | So far having one buddy on multiple accounts of the same protocol was a |
---|
| 486 | problem because the nicks generated for the two "instances" of this buddy |
---|
| 487 | were very unpredictable. |
---|
| 488 | NOTE: This also means that "account del" removes not just the account, |
---|
| 489 | BUT ALSO ALL NICKNAMES! If you're changing IM accounts and don't want to |
---|
| 490 | lose the nicknames, you can now use "account set" to change the username |
---|
| 491 | and password for the existing connection. |
---|
| 492 | * Per-account settings (see the new "account set" command). |
---|
[c7d0f41] | 493 | - A brand new Jabber module. Besides the major code cleanup, it also has |
---|
| 494 | has these new features: |
---|
| 495 | * Pretty complete XMPP support: RFC3920, RFC3921 plus a number of XEPs |
---|
[7df5a08] | 496 | including XEP45, XEP73 and XEP85. (See http://www.xmpp.org/ for what all |
---|
| 497 | these things mean exactly.) Privacy lists are not supported for obvious |
---|
[c7d0f41] | 498 | reasons. |
---|
| 499 | * This complete support also includes TLS and SASL support and SRV record |
---|
| 500 | lookup. This means that specifying a server tag for connections should |
---|
| 501 | (almost) never be necessary anymore, BitlBee can find the server and can |
---|
| 502 | automatically convert plaintext connections to TLS-encrypted ones. |
---|
[7df5a08] | 503 | * XEP45: Jabber chatroom support! |
---|
[c7d0f41] | 504 | * XEP85 means typing notifications. The older XEP22 (still used by some |
---|
| 505 | clients including Gaim <2.0) is not supported. |
---|
| 506 | * Better handling of buddies who have more than one resource on-line. As |
---|
| 507 | long as one resource is on-line (and visible), BitlBee will show this. |
---|
| 508 | (The previous module didn't keep track of resources and sent an offline |
---|
| 509 | event as soon as any resource disappears.) |
---|
| 510 | * You can now set your resource priority. |
---|
| 511 | * The info command now gives away state/message information for all |
---|
| 512 | resources available for that buddy. (Of course this only works if the |
---|
| 513 | buddy is in your contact list.) |
---|
[221a273] | 514 | * An XML console (add xmlconsole to your contact list or see "help set |
---|
| 515 | xmlconsole" if you want it permanently). |
---|
[d07c3a8] | 516 | - The Yahoo! module now says it supports YMSG protocol version 12, which will |
---|
| 517 | hopefully keep the Yahoo module working after 2008-04-02 (when Yahoo! is |
---|
| 518 | dropping support for version 6.x of their client). |
---|
| 519 | - MSN switchboard handling changes. Hopefully less messages will get lost now, |
---|
| 520 | although things are still not perfect. |
---|
[9829ae0] | 521 | |
---|
[6612cc9] | 522 | Finished 17 Mar 2008 |
---|
[8c2008e] | 523 | |
---|
| 524 | Version 1.0.4: |
---|
| 525 | - Removed sethostent(), which causes problems for many people, especially on |
---|
| 526 | *BSD. This is basically the reason for this release. |
---|
| 527 | - "allow" command actually displays the allow list, not the block list. |
---|
| 528 | - Yahoo away state/msg fix. |
---|
| 529 | - Don't display "Gender: Male" by default if nothing's filled in (OSCAR |
---|
| 530 | "info" command) |
---|
| 531 | - Fixed account cleanup (possible infinite loop) in irc_free(). |
---|
| 532 | - Fixed configdir error message to not always display the compile-time |
---|
| 533 | setting. |
---|
| 534 | |
---|
| 535 | Finished 20 Aug 2007 |
---|
| 536 | |
---|
[670204f] | 537 | Version 1.0.3: |
---|
| 538 | - Fixed ugliness in block/allow list commands (still not perfect though, the |
---|
| 539 | list is empty or not up-to-date for most protocols). |
---|
| 540 | - OSCAR module doesn't send the ICQ web-aware flag anymore, which seems to |
---|
| 541 | get rid of a lot of ICQ spam. |
---|
| 542 | - added show_got_added(), BitlBee asks you, after authorizing someone, if you |
---|
| 543 | want to add him/her to your list too. |
---|
| 544 | - add -tmp, mainly convenient if you want to talk to people who are not in |
---|
| 545 | your list. |
---|
| 546 | - Fixed ISON command, should work better with irssi now. |
---|
| 547 | - Fixed compilation with tcc. |
---|
| 548 | - Fixed xinetd-file. |
---|
| 549 | - Misc. (crash)bug fixes, including one in the root command parsing that |
---|
| 550 | caused mysterious error messages sometimes. |
---|
| 551 | |
---|
| 552 | Finished 24 Jun 2006 (Happy 4th birthday, BitlBee!) |
---|
| 553 | |
---|
| 554 | Version 1.0.2: |
---|
| 555 | - Pieces of code cleanup, fixes for possible problems in error checking. |
---|
| 556 | - Fixed an auto-reconnect cleanup problem that caused crashes in daemon mode. |
---|
| 557 | - /AWAY in daemon mode now doesn't set the away state for every connection |
---|
| 558 | anymore. |
---|
| 559 | - Fixed a crash-bug on empty help subjects. |
---|
| 560 | - Jabber now correctly sets the current away state when connecting. |
---|
| 561 | - Added Invisible and Hidden to the away state alias list, invisible mode |
---|
| 562 | should be pretty usable now. |
---|
| 563 | - Fixed handling of iconv(): It's now done for everything that goes between |
---|
| 564 | BitlBee and the IRC client, instead of doing it (almost) every time |
---|
| 565 | something goes to or come from the IM-modules. Should've thought about |
---|
| 566 | that before. :-) |
---|
| 567 | - When cleaning up MSN switchboards with unsent msgs, it now also says which |
---|
| 568 | contact those messages were meant for. |
---|
| 569 | - You can now use the block and allow commands to see your current block/ |
---|
| 570 | allow list. |
---|
| 571 | |
---|
| 572 | Finished 1 Apr 2006 |
---|
| 573 | |
---|
| 574 | Version 1.0.1: |
---|
| 575 | - Support for AIM groupchats. |
---|
| 576 | - Improved typing notification support for at least AIM. |
---|
| 577 | - BitlBee sends a 005 reply when logging in, this informs modern IRC clients |
---|
| 578 | of some of BitlBee's capabilities. This might also solve problems some |
---|
| 579 | people were having with the new control channel name. |
---|
| 580 | - MSN switchboards are now properly reset when talking to a person who is |
---|
| 581 | offline. This fixes problems with messages to MSN people that sometimes |
---|
| 582 | didn't arrive. |
---|
| 583 | - Fixed one of the problems that made BitlBee show online Jabber people as |
---|
| 584 | offline. |
---|
| 585 | - Fixed problems with commas in MSN passwords. |
---|
| 586 | - Added some consts for read-only data, which should make the BitlBee per- |
---|
| 587 | process memory footprint a bit smaller. |
---|
| 588 | - Other bits of code cleanup. |
---|
| 589 | |
---|
| 590 | Finished 14 Jan 2006 |
---|
| 591 | |
---|
[2095c57] | 592 | Version 1.0: |
---|
| 593 | - Removed some crashy debugging code. |
---|
[21d09ac] | 594 | - QUIT command now works before logging in. (Mainly an RFC-compliancy fix.) |
---|
[ef6c6a7] | 595 | - Hopefully slightly clearer handling of buddy add requests. |
---|
[834ff44] | 596 | - set buddy_sendbuffer_delay now also supports milisecond precision. |
---|
[e3a0e7e] | 597 | - Renamed #bitlbee to &bitlbee to avoid confusion with the channel on OFTC. |
---|
[0b2e843] | 598 | - Reviewed the xinetd file and installation instructions. |
---|
| 599 | - HTML stripping is configurable again. |
---|
| 600 | - Quit messages (at least on crashes) should appear again. |
---|
[43e3368] | 601 | - Cleaned up some unnecessary code in the Jabber module, and implemented |
---|
| 602 | handlers for headline messages (which allows you to use RSS-to-Jabber |
---|
| 603 | gateways). |
---|
[ef53ba8] | 604 | - Lowered the line splitting limit a bit to fix data loss issues. |
---|
| 605 | - The $proto($handle) format used for messages specific to one IM-connection |
---|
| 606 | now only include the ($handle) part when there's more than one $proto- |
---|
| 607 | connection. |
---|
| 608 | - Fix for a crash-bug on broken Jabber/SSL connections. |
---|
[a40a2c2] | 609 | - Incoming typing notifications now also come in as CTCP TYPING messages, for |
---|
| 610 | better consistency. Don't forget to update your scripts! |
---|
| 611 | - AIM typing notifications are supported now. |
---|
[027d2eb] | 612 | - Jabber module only accepts ports 5220-5229 now, to prevent people from |
---|
| 613 | abusing it as a port scanner. We aren't aware of any Jabber server that |
---|
| 614 | runs on other ports than those. If you are, please warn us. |
---|
[40657a3] | 615 | - Send flood protection can't be enabled anymore. It was disabled by default |
---|
| 616 | for a good reason for some time already, but some package maintainers |
---|
| 617 | turned it back on while it's way too unreliable and trigger-happy to be |
---|
| 618 | used. |
---|
| 619 | - Removed TODO file, the current to-do list is always in the on-line bug |
---|
| 620 | tracking system. |
---|
| 621 | - Fixed a potential DoS bug in input handling. |
---|
[2095c57] | 622 | |

[40657a3] | 623 | Finished 4 Dec 2005 |
---|
[2095c57] | 624 | |
---|
[b7d3cc34] | 625 | Version 0.99: |
---|
| 626 | - Fixed memory initialization bug in OSCAR module that caused crashes on |
---|
| 627 | closing the connection. |
---|
| 628 | - Most likely fixed the bug that caused BitlBee to use 100% CPU time in |
---|
| 629 | some situations. |
---|
| 630 | - Outgoing MSN typing notifications are now understood correctly by the |
---|
[e88fe7da] | 631 | original MS Mac/Windows clients (again). |
---|
[b7d3cc34] | 632 | - Added "account add $protocol" to the documentation, got rid of a lot |
---|
| 633 | of over-markup (i.e. overuse of bold-tags), reviewed some other parts. |
---|
| 634 | - Small changes to help.xsl to fix small flaws in the help.txt formatting. |
---|
| 635 | - Messaging yourself now doesn't make irssi or mIRC crash anymore. |
---|
| 636 | |
---|
| 637 | Finished 3 Nov 2005 |
---|
| 638 | |
---|
| 639 | Version 0.93: |
---|
| 640 | - " is now correctly converted to " instead of '. |
---|
| 641 | - Code cleanup in OSCAR module. |
---|
| 642 | - Some changes for better RFC-compliancy. |
---|
| 643 | - It's now possible to specify an alternate Jabber server. |
---|
| 644 | - bitlbee_save() now also checks the return value of fclose(), which might |
---|
| 645 | solve more problems with lost account data. |
---|
| 646 | - Fixed a file descriptor leak in bitlbee.c. |
---|
| 647 | - Signedness fixes (mainly to keep GCC4 happy). |
---|
| 648 | - Away messages are now sent correctly to most ICQ clients. |
---|
| 649 | - BitlBee knows now which connection sends HTML, so it will strip HTML |
---|
| 650 | automatically, "set html strip" is no longer necessary. Also, outgoing HTML |
---|
| 651 | is escaped correctly. |
---|
| 652 | - info-command works for AIM-connections too now. |
---|
| 653 | - /notices to users will be sent as auto-away replies. |
---|
| 654 | - Messages about a connection now also mention a handle, for people who have |
---|
| 655 | multiple accounts in use of the same protocol. |
---|
| 656 | - Examples are back in help.txt. |
---|
| 657 | |
---|
| 658 | Finished 31 Oct 2005 |
---|
| 659 | |
---|
| 660 | Version 0.92: |
---|
| 661 | - Fixed some formatting issues with the help.txt XSL-sheet. |
---|
| 662 | - Moved the polling of the IRC connections to glib instead of a separate |
---|
| 663 | select(). |
---|
| 664 | - Added ctags generation to the Makefiles. |
---|
| 665 | - Sending a CTCP TYPING message to a user in your buddy list now sends a |
---|
| 666 | typing notification to that person, if the protocol supports it. You |
---|
| 667 | probably want to write/use a script for your IRC client to do this. |
---|
| 668 | - A dash is no longer considered a lowercase underscore in nicknames. |
---|
| 669 | - CTCP's to buddies no longer alter their private/non-private state. |
---|
| 670 | - Clean shutdown (with saving settings) on SIGTERM. |
---|
| 671 | - Fixed a crash on connecting to unreachable Jabber/SSL servers. |
---|
| 672 | - On ICQ, offline messages are now requested after receiving the buddy |
---|
| 673 | list. This should get rid of the "Message from unknown OSCAR handle" |
---|
| 674 | messages on login. |
---|
| 675 | - The linked list of buddies/nicks is now always sorted, which makes the |
---|
| 676 | blist output a bit more useful. |
---|
| 677 | - Fixed a crash on renaming NickServ. (There's no reason to do this, but |
---|
| 678 | still crashing isn't really how BitlBee should tell you that. ;-) |
---|
| 679 | - Now the message about the "new" ICQ server-side buddy lists is only |
---|
| 680 | displayed when the server-side list is still empty. |
---|
| 681 | - The Yahoo! markup language stripper is now less likely to strip things |
---|
| 682 | that shouldn't be stripped. |
---|
| 683 | - Working around a shortcoming in the Yahoo! cleanup code that didn't |
---|
| 684 | cause any serious problems in previous versions, but got pretty nasty |
---|
| 685 | (100% CPU time usage) now with everything in the glib main loop. |
---|
| 686 | - Fixed a bug in http_encode that might have caused buffer overflows |
---|
| 687 | (although not likely to be exploitable) when trying to encode strings |
---|
| 688 | with non-ASCII characters. |
---|
| 689 | - Fixed AIM screenname handling on ICQ connections. |
---|
| 690 | - When blocking someone, the MSN module now closes the conversation you're |
---|
| 691 | having with him/her (if any) so he/she can't continue talking to you |
---|
| 692 | (for as long as the conversation lasts). |
---|
| 693 | - Away messages are only sent when messaging someone outside the control |
---|
| 694 | channel. (And now also when the user is offline instead of just away.) |
---|
| 695 | - Moved charset conversion in serv_buddy_rename() to the right place so |
---|
| 696 | bogus changes are always detected now. |
---|
| 697 | - iso8859-1 is now the default charset because -15 caused some problems |
---|
| 698 | and because -1 is enough for most people anyway. |
---|
| 699 | - Fixed crashes on attempting to add a buddy (or do other things) on |
---|
| 700 | connections that are still initializing. |
---|
| 701 | - Added support for server-side notifies using the WATCH command. |
---|
| 702 | - IRC_MAX_ARGS is dead, at least for IRC commands. |
---|
| 703 | - Fixed a bug that made BitlBee crash on failing fresh MSN switchboard |
---|
| 704 | connections. |
---|
| 705 | - Fixed an invisibility bug in the MSN code that handled transfers to |
---|
| 706 | other servers in the middle of a session. |
---|
| 707 | - Newline stripping added to prevent newline-in-friendlyname attacks. |
---|
| 708 | (Which allowed remote people to make BitlBee send raw custom IRC lines.) |
---|
| 709 | |
---|
| 710 | Finished 23 Feb 2005 |
---|
| 711 | |
---|
| 712 | Version 0.91: |
---|
| 713 | - Full support for ICQ server-side contact lists! |
---|
| 714 | NOTE: BitlBee now ignores your client-side contact list. If you want to |
---|
| 715 | import your ICQ contact list, use the import_buddies command. |
---|
| 716 | - Added the import_buddies command for upgrading purposes. |
---|
| 717 | - Added support for OpenSSL. |
---|
| 718 | - Fixed one major problem with the daemon mode by getting rid of the global |
---|
| 719 | IRC structure. |
---|
| 720 | - Documentation fixes. help.txt is now generated from XML. Also updated the |
---|
| 721 | installation manual. |
---|
| 722 | - Made the quickstart up-to-date. (By Elizabeth Krumbach) |
---|
| 723 | - Some bitlbeed additions. (By Marcus Dennis) |
---|
| 724 | - info-command support for Jabber, MSN, Yahoo! and a more verbose info-reply |
---|
| 725 | for ICQ. (By Frank Thieme) |
---|
| 726 | - Support for Jabber over SSL. |
---|
| 727 | - nick_get() appends a _ on duplicates instead of chopping off the last |
---|
| 728 | character. |
---|
| 729 | - Got rid of an unused piece of code that caused crashes. |
---|
| 730 | (oscar.c:gaim_parse_clientauto) |
---|
| 731 | - When splitting long messages into 450-char chunks, BitlBee now tries not |
---|
| 732 | to cut off in the middle of a line. |
---|
| 733 | - Added a warning when the user specifies an unknown OSCAR server. |
---|
| 734 | - Removed GLib 2.x dependency, BitlBee will work with GLib 1.x again. |
---|
| 735 | - Improved strip_html(), now less likely to strip non-HTML things. |
---|
| 736 | - An invalid account-command will now display an error message. |
---|
| 737 | - Fixed a bug that caused crashes when /CTCP'ing a groupchat channel. |
---|
| 738 | - Hopefully better Unicode/non-ASCII support for ICQ. |
---|
| 739 | - Fixed MSN connection crash on non-ASCII characters in screenname. |
---|
| 740 | - Added some missing charset conversion calls. (serv_got_crap, |
---|
| 741 | serv_buddy_rename) |
---|
| 742 | - "account off" without extra arguments now logs off all connections. |
---|
| 743 | - Fixed a crash-bug on disconnecting Yahoo! connections before they're fully |
---|
| 744 | connected. |
---|
| 745 | - Fixed a bug in helpfile handling which sometimes caused crashes in daemon |
---|
| 746 | mode. |
---|
| 747 | - block and allow commands work with just a nick as an argument again. |
---|
| 748 | - Working around a crash on some probably invalid Yahoo! packets. |
---|
| 749 | - Fixed a possible double free() on shutdown in irc_free(). |
---|
| 750 | - Talking to ICQ people on AIM and vice versa and talking to people with |
---|
| 751 | @mac.com accounts now possible. |
---|
| 752 | - Low ASCII chars are now stripped from away-messages so the Jabber module |
---|
| 753 | won't barf on BitchX and lame-script away messages anymore. |
---|
| 754 | |
---|
| 755 | Finished 25 Sep 2004 |
---|
| 756 | |
---|
| 757 | Version 0.90a: |
---|
| 758 | - Fixed the Yahoo! authentication code. |
---|
| 759 | |
---|
| 760 | Finished 28 Jun 2004 |
---|
| 761 | |
---|
| 762 | Version 0.90: |
---|
| 763 | - A complete rewrite of the MSN module. This gives BitlBee the following |
---|
| 764 | new features/improvements: |
---|
| 765 | * You can now start groupchats with MSN people without having to send them |
---|
| 766 | a bogus message first. |
---|
| 767 | * People who are in your MSN block/allow list, but not in your contact |
---|
| 768 | list, shouldn't show up in your BitlBee buddy lists anymore. |
---|
| 769 | * Passport authentication shouldn't lock up the whole program for a couple |
---|
| 770 | of seconds anymore. Additionally, it should also work behind proxies now. |
---|
| 771 | * Better recognition of incoming file transfers; they're now recognized |
---|
| 772 | when coming from non-English MS Messenger clients too. |
---|
| 773 | * Fixed a problem with MSN passwords with non-alphanumeric characters. |
---|
| 774 | * Mail notification support (also for Yahoo!)... |
---|
| 775 | * Parsing of maintenance messages (ie "Server is going down in x minutes"). |
---|
| 776 | * Hopefully more stability. |
---|
| 777 | - Changes in the OSCAR module: |
---|
| 778 | * Better reading of ICQ-away-states. |
---|
| 779 | * Lots of cleanups. |
---|
| 780 | - Yahoo! module: |
---|
| 781 | * Fixed authentication on 64-bit machines. (Patch from Matt Rogers) |
---|
| 782 | * Better stripping of markup tags. |
---|
| 783 | - Lots of cleanup in all IM-modules. |
---|
| 784 | - Added support for using libnss instead of libgnutls. |
---|
| 785 | - Reverse hostname lookups work on IPv6 sockets too now. (And don't crash |
---|
| 786 | the program anymore.) |
---|
| 787 | - Fixed a little problem with identifying right after registering a nick. |
---|
| 788 | - Restored complete proxy support and added a proxy setting to the conffile. |
---|
| 789 | - BitlBee can now tell you when people in your buddy list change their |
---|
| 790 | "friendly name". |
---|
| 791 | - Instead of an account number, you can also specify the protocol name or |
---|
| 792 | (part of) the username as an account identification with commands like |
---|
| 793 | "account on", "add", etc. |
---|
| 794 | - BitlBee remembers what connection a question (i.e. authorization request) |
---|
| 795 | belongs to and cleans it up when the connection goes down; this fixes |
---|
| 796 | (one of) the last known crash bugs. |
---|
| 797 | - Plus some other changes in question management. (The query_order setting |
---|
| 798 | is one of them. The default behaviour changed a bit, for more information |
---|
| 799 | please read "help set query_order".) |
---|
| 800 | - Also fixed a memory management bug in the question code which caused some |
---|
| 801 | crashes. |
---|
| 802 | - Optimized some nick handling functions and added a hash of all the users |
---|
| 803 | to speed up user_find() a bit (especially good for people with large |
---|
| 804 | buddy and notify lists). |
---|
| 805 | - Lots of changes for the Win32 port (see http://jelmer.vernstok.nl/). |
---|
| 806 | - Added the drop-command. |
---|
| 807 | - Fixed small problem with versions of sed which don't support the + |
---|
| 808 | "operator" (the BSD version, for example, even though the operator is |
---|
| 809 | documented properly in the re_format manpage...). |
---|
| 810 | - Added the default_target setting. |
---|
| 811 | - Added a CenterICQ2BitlBee conversion script. |
---|
| 812 | - Put back the evaluator for "set charset" (which got lost somewhere between |
---|
| 813 | 0.84 and 0.85), so an incorrect charset will be rejected again. |
---|
| 814 | - ISON now (A) gives one single reply and (B) also replies when none of the |
---|
| 815 | persons asked for are on-line. |
---|
| 816 | - Using GConv instead of iconv now. |
---|
| 817 | - Incoming messages larger than 450 characters are now split into parts |
---|
| 818 | before sending them to the user. |
---|
| 819 | - Fixed a bug in irc_exec() which could crash the program when some commands |
---|
| 820 | were called with too little arguments. |
---|
| 821 | - Fixed a dumb NULL pointer dereference in the JOIN command. |
---|
| 822 | - Added rate limiting to bitlbeed. (Against server hammering) |
---|
| 823 | - Added handling of CTCP PINGs (yet another self-ping used by some IRC |
---|
| 824 | clients...) |
---|
| 825 | - Added bitlbee_tab_completion.pl. |
---|
| 826 | - Removed the vCard handling code from Jabber because it's (A) not used and |
---|
| 827 | (B) had a possible format string vulnerability. |
---|
| 828 | - Got rid of strcpy() in account.c. (Thanks to NETRIC for reporting these two |
---|
| 829 | problems.) |
---|
| 830 | - ISO8859-15 is now the default charset. |
---|
| 831 | |
---|
| 832 | Finished 21 May 2004 |
---|
| 833 | |
---|
| 834 | Version 0.85a: |
---|
| 835 | - Fixed an authentication problem with logging into some MSN accounts. |
---|
| 836 | - Removed a non-critical warning message from the ICQ servers when logging |
---|
| 837 | in with an empty contact list. |
---|
| 838 | - Fixed reading the [defaults] section of bitlbee.conf. |
---|
| 839 | - The last newline in outgoing messages when using the buddy_sendbuffer is |
---|
| 840 | now removed correctly. |
---|
| 841 | - Yahoo! colour/font tag stripping now actually works. |
---|
| 842 | - Fixed compilation on *BSD and some Linux architectures. |
---|
| 843 | |
---|
| 844 | Finished 24 Mar 2004 |
---|
| 845 | |
---|
| 846 | Version 0.85: |
---|
| 847 | - Users can specify alternate configuration files/directories at runtime |
---|
| 848 | now. |
---|
| 849 | - Rename now doesn't choke on name changes with only case changes anymore. |
---|
| 850 | - Imported the daemon patch into the main source tree. The daemon mode is |
---|
| 851 | still experimental, this just eases maintenance. This daemon patch brings |
---|
| 852 | a lot of features, including (as the name says) a real daemon mode and |
---|
| 853 | also buffering of the data sent to the user, and flood protection. |
---|
| 854 | - Strips font and colour codes from Yahoo! messages. |
---|
| 855 | - Support for groupchats on Yahoo! |
---|
| 856 | - Fixed removing Yahoo! buddies from a different group than "Buddies". |
---|
| 857 | - Jabber presence packets with error messages are interpreted correctly now. |
---|
| 858 | (They used to be parsed as a signin.) |
---|
| 859 | - bitlbee_save() checks return values from fprintf() and writes to tempfiles |
---|
| 860 | first to make sure no old files get lost when there's a write error. |
---|
| 861 | - ICQ buddies are added all at once instead of once at a time. This should |
---|
| 862 | solve problems with huge buddy lists. |
---|
| 863 | - Made the client pinging timings configurable. (Without requiring |
---|
| 864 | recompilation) |
---|
| 865 | - MSN and Yahoo flag the connection as "wants_to_die" when they're logged |
---|
| 866 | off because of a concurrent login. This means reconnection will be disabled |
---|
| 867 | on concurrent logins. |
---|
| 868 | - BitlBee can now buffer the messages sent to someone before they're actually |
---|
| 869 | sent, and wait for a specified number of seconds for more lines to be added |
---|
| 870 | to the buffer before the message will really be sent. |
---|
| 871 | - Renamed the reconnect_delay setting to auto_reconnect_delay. |
---|
| 872 | - Unknown settings aren't saved anymore. |
---|
| 873 | |
---|
| 874 | Finished 13 Mar 2004 |
---|
| 875 | |
---|
| 876 | Version 0.84: |
---|
| 877 | - Removed the libsoup dependency. |
---|
| 878 | - Fixed AuthMode=Registered: It will now restore your accounts when |
---|
| 879 | identifying. |
---|
| 880 | - Fixed Yahoo! support. |
---|
| 881 | - Fixed a little memory leak in user.c. |
---|
| 882 | - Fixed a security bug in unused code in proxy.c, only people who use |
---|
| 883 | the HTTP proxy support and an untrusted proxy might need this. We |
---|
| 884 | haven't done an emergency release for this fix because proxy support |
---|
| 885 | is disabled by default. |
---|
| 886 | - Fixed some memory leaks in IM-code. |
---|
| 887 | |
---|
| 888 | Finished 13 Feb 2004 |
---|
| 889 | |
---|
| 890 | Version 0.83: |
---|
| 891 | - Fixed a crash bug on connecting to unsupported accounts. |
---|
| 892 | - Fixed a problem with connecting to MSN accounts with empty buddy |
---|
| 893 | lists. |
---|
| 894 | - Fixed another inifite-loop bug in nick_get() and added a piece |
---|
| 895 | of code which detects the infinite loop and asks the user to send |
---|
| 896 | a bug report. |
---|
| 897 | - Fixed iconv-Solaris linking issues. |
---|
| 898 | - Fixed all the problems with spaces in AIM screennames now, we hope. |
---|
| 899 | - Fixed a buffer overflow in the nick handling code. Buffers are |
---|
| 900 | overflowed with static data (nulls), so we don't think it's exploitable. |
---|
| 901 | - Added server-client pinging, useful for remote servers. |
---|
| 902 | - Added the hostname setting. |
---|
| 903 | - Some bitlbeed changes. |
---|
| 904 | - Added a little part to the on-line quickstart about the settings and |
---|
| 905 | other help topics, this hopefully answers a lot of FAQ's. |
---|
| 906 | - Fixed the signal handler to re-raise the signal after the handler quits. |
---|
| 907 | This makes sure the default handler is called after our handler sends |
---|
| 908 | the user a bye-message, so core dumps are created and the parent will |
---|
| 909 | get more useful information back from wait(). |
---|
| 910 | - Added support for ICQ URL messages. |
---|
| 911 | - Fixed strip_html() behaviour on unknown &entities;. |
---|
| 912 | - Fixed a possible problem with Yahoo! |
---|
| 913 | - Fixed a problem with logging into more than one MSN account at once. |
---|
| 914 | |
---|
| 915 | Finished 31 Dec 2003 |
---|
| 916 | |
---|
| 917 | Version 0.82: |
---|
| 918 | - Fixed a little bug in nick.c which could cause a complete hang for |
---|
| 919 | some tricky buddylists. (Thanks to Geert Hauwaerts for helping with |
---|
| 920 | fixing this bug) |
---|
| 921 | - Fixed MSN support. (Lots of thanks to Wouter Paesen!) |
---|
| 922 | - Removed the old login/logout commands. |
---|
| 923 | - Added the qlist command. |
---|
| 924 | - Fixed a buffer overflow in the nick checking code. (Thanks to Jon |
---|
[69982f8] | 925 | Åslund for pointing us at this problem) |
---|
[b7d3cc34] | 926 | - Adds the add_private and add_channel options for set handle_unknown. |
---|
| 927 | - Some documentation updates. |
---|
| 928 | - Added two small utilities to encode/decode BitlCrypted files. |
---|
| 929 | |
---|
| 930 | Finished 31 Oct 2003 |
---|
| 931 | |
---|
| 932 | Version 0.81a: |
---|
| 933 | - This version just fixes some small things we should've fixed before |
---|
| 934 | releasing 0.81: |
---|
| 935 | - Fixed a small bug in the auto-reconnect cleanup code. |
---|
| 936 | - Fixed the Makefile: Now it doesn't just overwrite your etc files when |
---|
| 937 | installing. |
---|
| 938 | - Fixed the Makefile: $prefix/etc/bitlbee/ is the default etcdir now. |
---|
| 939 | - Disabling MSN by default, now that it doesn't work. It'll be back on |
---|
| 940 | as soon as we get the module working again. |
---|
| 941 | |
---|
| 942 | Finished 16 Oct 2003 |
---|
| 943 | |
---|
| 944 | Version 0.81: |
---|
| 945 | - Added a configuration file. |
---|
| 946 | - Added support for the PASS command to restrict access to the daemon to |
---|
| 947 | only the people who know this password. |
---|
| 948 | - Only allowing registered people to use the daemon is possible too. |
---|
| 949 | - In case you, at some time, need to check the currently running BitlBee |
---|
| 950 | version, just CTCP-VERSION someone in the channel. |
---|
| 951 | - Added the auto_connect setting for people who don't want the program |
---|
| 952 | to connect to IM-networks automatically. |
---|
| 953 | - Extended the blist command. |
---|
| 954 | - Applied the auto-reconnect patch from G-Lite. |
---|
| 955 | - Applied the iconv patch from Yuri Pimenov. |
---|
| 956 | - Imported the MSN-friendlyname patch from Wouter Paesen. |
---|
| 957 | - Away-message aliasing code now just parses the beginning of the string, |
---|
| 958 | not the whole string. This allows you to have a more descriptive away |
---|
| 959 | message like "Busy - Fixing bugs in BitlBee" and all the IM connections |
---|
| 960 | will have a busy-like away-state. |
---|
| 961 | - Added some information about away states to the help system. |
---|
| 962 | - MSN file transfers aren't silently ignored anymore. |
---|
| 963 | - Integrated the Yahoo protocol fix from Cerulean Studios (Trillian). |
---|
| 964 | (Thanks to Tony Perrie!) |
---|
| 965 | - Made all protocol plugins optional. (Patch from Andrej Kacian/Ticho) |
---|
| 966 | |
---|
| 967 | Finished 15 Oct 2003 |
---|
| 968 | |
---|
| 969 | Version 0.80: |
---|
| 970 | - Fixed a very stupid bug in the MSN away-state reading. |
---|
| 971 | - nick_cmp() now actually works, RFC-compliant. |
---|
| 972 | - Fixed and cleaned up the away-state handling, there were some very |
---|
| 973 | weird things in the original Gaim code base which broke this completely |
---|
| 974 | all the time. |
---|
| 975 | - The daemon prevents you from using root/NickServ as your nick now, |
---|
| 976 | previous versions crashed on that. |
---|
| 977 | - At last ... GROUP CHAT SUPPORT! :-D |
---|
| 978 | - People who are *not* away get mode +v in #bitlbee now, so you can see |
---|
| 979 | in /names who's away and who's not. |
---|
| 980 | - Crashing BitlBee by using the NICKSERV command without any arguments |
---|
| 981 | is impossible now. |
---|
| 982 | - Added some notes about Darwin/OSX portability. |
---|
| 983 | - Separated connections from accounts. This means restoring a lost |
---|
| 984 | connection can be done using a simple "account on <number>" command. |
---|
| 985 | See "help account" for more information. |
---|
| 986 | *** For now this won't cause problems when upgrading because the login |
---|
| 987 | command still exists (as an alias for "account add"). This alias will |
---|
| 988 | not stay forever, though. |
---|
| 989 | - irc_process() now makes sure it reads the whole available buffer before |
---|
| 990 | executing the commands. Previous versions were very bad at handling |
---|
| 991 | long floods from non-floodprotected clients. The code is still not |
---|
| 992 | perfect, but good enough for local links. |
---|
| 993 | - Allow/Deny questions from msn.c now also mention your own screenname. |
---|
| 994 | This is useful for people who run two (or even more) MSN accounts in |
---|
| 995 | one BitlBee. |
---|
| 996 | - Fixed a little bug in the helpfile-changed-check code. |
---|
| 997 | - A little trick in "make install" makes sure the help function in running |
---|
| 998 | sessions doesn't break while upgrading. |
---|
| 999 | - Added a nifty (and editable) MOTD. |
---|
| 1000 | - Added IRIX to the compatibility list. |
---|
| 1001 | - Added support for Cygwin. |
---|
| 1002 | - Better HTML-stripping, it also handles &entities; correctly now. |
---|
| 1003 | - Fixed some problems to make it compile on Solaris. |
---|
| 1004 | - Added support for messages from Miranda/Mac ICQ. (Code port from Gaim 0.59) |
---|
| 1005 | - Fixed the crash problem when removing yahoo buddies. |
---|
| 1006 | - Added the handle_unknown setting. |
---|
| 1007 | - Did some editing on a few docs. |
---|
| 1008 | - Added a FAQ. |
---|
| 1009 | - Added the daemon-patch by Maurits Dijkstra which adds stand-alone daemon |
---|
| 1010 | support to BitlBee. |
---|
| 1011 | - Jabber now doesn't barf on high ASCII characters in away messages anymore. |

| 1015 | |
---|
| 1016 | Version 0.74a: |
---|
| 1017 | - The music-festivals-are-bad-for-your-mind release. |
---|
| 1018 | - This one actually contains the fix for the bug 0.74 claimed to have. |
---|
| 1019 | |
---|
| 1020 | Finished 11 Jun 2003 |
---|
| 1021 | |
---|
| 1022 | Version 0.74: |
---|
| 1023 | - Fixed a security leak, where using a / in the nickname causes the saved |
---|
| 1024 | settings and account information to be stored in undesirable places. |
---|
| 1025 | |
---|
| 1026 | Finished 10 Jun 2003 |
---|
| 1027 | |
---|
| 1028 | Version 0.73: |
---|
| 1029 | - Fixed the unable-to-remove-icq-users (actually users from any *local* |
---|
| 1030 | contact list) bug. |
---|
| 1031 | - Fixed away bug in aim protocol. |
---|
| 1032 | - Fixed the 'statistics' under the blist command output. |
---|
| 1033 | - Removed the commands from the XML documentation because they're 'on-line' |
---|
| 1034 | already. |
---|
| 1035 | - Added some signal handling; ignoring SIGPIPE should als get rid of some |
---|
| 1036 | crashes (for some weird reason this has to be done). Also, crashes because |
---|
| 1037 | of things like segfaults are a bit more verbose now. ;-) |
---|
| 1038 | - Changed the select() timeout in main(), this might improve some latencies. |
---|
| 1039 | (At leasts it speeds up signing on (especially for ICQ) a lot!) |
---|
| 1040 | - Made the own-QUIT messages more compliant, probably. |
---|
| 1041 | - Fixed some memory-bugs, thanks to valgrind. |
---|
| 1042 | - irc_write() now checks the write() return value, and tries to send the rest |
---|
| 1043 | of the string, if it could not write it completely the first time. |
---|
| 1044 | - Hostname lookups also work on NetBSD now. |
---|
| 1045 | (Thanks to David.Edmondson*sun*com (hi spambot)) |
---|
| 1046 | - At last, a new protocol. Welcome to ... YAHOO! |
---|
| 1047 | - Documentation and code cleanup. Somehow the helpfile documented register |
---|
| 1048 | and identify twice, now that's what I call over-documenting.. :-/ |
---|
| 1049 | - Added the rename command to the helpfile, somehow I forgot that one. |
---|
| 1050 | - Been a bit pedantic about compiler warnings. They're all dead now. |
---|
| 1051 | - Fixed a small Makefile problem which gave an error when a clean tree was |
---|
| 1052 | "made distclean" |
---|
| 1053 | - Fixed a (possible) memory leak in nogaim.c:proto_away() |
---|
| 1054 | - Fixed the way proto_away() calls proto_away_alias_find(), now it gives |
---|
| 1055 | the *whole* list of away states |
---|
| 1056 | - proto_away() doesn't give a NULL message anymore because AIM didn't like |
---|
| 1057 | that |
---|
| 1058 | - Got rid of the last goto in my code (without ruining the code) |
---|
| 1059 | - Created a more samba-like compiling process (without the complete command |
---|
| 1060 | lines, just a simple echo) |
---|
| 1061 | - "help set ops" works now too, without quoting the "set ops" |
---|
| 1062 | - Trying to log in with a protocol without a prpl (ICQ and TOC, for example) |
---|
| 1063 | made previous versions crash |
---|
| 1064 | |
---|
| 1065 | Finished 13 Apr 2003 |
---|
| 1066 | |
---|
| 1067 | Version 0.72: |
---|
| 1068 | - Updated the documentation. |
---|
| 1069 | - Improved the MSN friendlyname code. (Although it doesn't seem to be perfect |
---|
| 1070 | yet..) |
---|
| 1071 | - info-command added to get more information about ICQ users. |
---|
| 1072 | - blist-command added to get a complete buddy list. |
---|
| 1073 | - Fixed a bug which broke the AIM code when adding a screenname with a space |
---|
| 1074 | in it. |
---|
| 1075 | - Added the NS alias for the NICKSERV command (Tony Vroon). |
---|
| 1076 | - Fixed the USERHOST command implementation (Tony Vroon). |
---|
| 1077 | - /me from IM-networks is now converted to a CTCP ACTION correctly. |
---|
| 1078 | - Added an utils/ directory with some misc toys and handy things. |
---|
| 1079 | - Added a /notice to the on_typing event. Don't use it though, the /notice |
---|
| 1080 | flood will just be a big annoyance. ;-) |
---|
| 1081 | - Some people like root and themself to be ops, some don't. Now it's |
---|
| 1082 | configurable. (set ops) |
---|
| 1083 | - Now the umode stuff actually works. Next step: Use those modes... (How?) |
---|
| 1084 | |
---|
| 1085 | Finished 19 Dec 2002 |
---|
| 1086 | |
---|
| 1087 | Version 0.71: |
---|
| 1088 | - Fixed the help command output layout (alignment) |
---|
| 1089 | - Added a sample xinetd file |
---|
| 1090 | - Cleaned up, 0.70 released with a build-stamp and DEADJOE file (oops).. |
---|
| 1091 | - Messages can be sent like '<user>, <message>' in the control channel now, |
---|
| 1092 | instead of just '<user>: <message>' |
---|
| 1093 | - Added a debug setting boolean: Set it to true for some debugging crap |
---|
| 1094 | which used to be on by default.. |
---|
| 1095 | - Changed the /whois reply: In the server section you now see the |
---|
| 1096 | connection this user belongs to. |
---|
| 1097 | - Added some root/permission checks. |
---|
| 1098 | - configure script works correctly when the terminating / is forgotten for |
---|
| 1099 | a directory. |
---|
| 1100 | - Fixed format string bug in protocols/oscar/meta.c (Hmm, what's the use of |
---|
| 1101 | that file?) |
---|
| 1102 | - Added '#include "crypting.h"' to commands.c to get rid of stupid warnings |
---|
| 1103 | - Fixed crash-bug (SIGSEGV when adding an @-less contact to MSN/Jabber) |
---|
| 1104 | - Added to_char setting |
---|
| 1105 | - Fixed bug in set.c: It ignored the new value returned by the evaluator |
---|
| 1106 | :-( |
---|
| 1107 | - Removed protocol tag from 'hostname' in user hostmask because this info |
---|
| 1108 | is in /whois' server section now |
---|
| 1109 | - Added the GPL. Somehow 0.7 released without a COPYING file.. :-/ |
---|
| 1110 | - Enhanced the root_command() parser, you can 'quote' "arguments" now so |
---|
| 1111 | arguments can be strings with spaces |
---|
| 1112 | - Debugging versions have True as the default value for set debug |
---|
| 1113 | - NICKSERV is now an alternative for PRIVMSG root. This does not affect |
---|
| 1114 | functionality of current NICKSERV commands, but does allow people to just |
---|
| 1115 | do identify <pass> in channel. |
---|
| 1116 | - NICKSERV REGISTER now doesn't try to log you in (to check if the user |
---|
| 1117 | exists) but checks for the existence of the user-configuration files. |
---|
| 1118 | - NICKSERV SET password now works (as does set password in channel). This |
---|
| 1119 | makes changing your password possible. |
---|
| 1120 | - NICKSERV password now stored in irc_t. |
---|
| 1121 | - ./configure now only bugs you about possible problems with strip if it's |
---|
| 1122 | actually going to strip (wooohoooo! _sexy_ :) |
---|
| 1123 | - Fixed a load of warnings in oscar.c, irc.c, nick.c and set.c |
---|
| 1124 | - Split up root_command() into a version which eats raw strings and one |
---|
| 1125 | which eats split strings |
---|
| 1126 | - New help system: Help available for most (all?) commands, all read from |
---|
| 1127 | an external help-file. |
---|
| 1128 | - Changed the maximum message length in irc_usermsg() from IRC_MAX_LINE to |
---|
| 1129 | 1024 (for loooong help messages..). |
---|
| 1130 | - Only allow user to set supported umodes. |
---|
| 1131 | - Fixed a memory leak in crypting.c (Thanks to Erik Hensema.) |
---|
| 1132 | - Added a send_handler callback to user_t. Needed for the following entry: |
---|
| 1133 | - Added the NickServ user as a root-clone. |
---|
| 1134 | - Disabled tcpd by default because it's just a PITA for a lot of systems |
---|
| 1135 | and because you can use /usr/sbin/tcpd as well. |
---|
| 1136 | - The root user can be renamed now. |
---|
| 1137 | |
---|
| 1138 | Finished 16 Sep 2002 |
