source: set.h @ 1aa74f55

Last change on this file since 1aa74f55 was 180ab31, checked in by Wilmer van der Gaast <wilmer@…>, at 2010-08-21T19:34:17Z

Added some neat whatsnew code that keeps track of the newest version of
BitlBee used by a user, and if it looks like s/he hasn't used this one
before, show a list of new features that may be interesting.

Since I don't think im.bitlbee.org users will read any changelogs ever,
this is probably not a bad idea. If you hate it, the following command
should get rid of it forever: set last_version 9999999

35   In short, it just keeps a linked list of settings/variables and it also
36   remembers a default value for every setting. And to prevent the user

38   every setting, which can check a new value and block it by returning
