1.151            (97/11/12)

      NEW FEATURES:
	- If tkirc notices that someone changed his nick, all
	  matching queries will be changed.

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- request_on_kick: A request window will be opened to
	  rejoin that channel you've just been kicked from.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Memory leak removed.
	- Using `Cancel' by receiving DCC SEND requests produced
	  an error request.
	- An address error was fixed.
	- Sometimes a logfile for a certain nick didn't get all
	  lines.
	- Small wallops bug fixed.

      OTHER:
	- Some improvements done. (less regexps, new netsplit
	  handling, ...)


1.148            (97/10/21)

      NEW FEATURES:
	- Now it's also possible to react to numeric messages through
	  tkirc's on-procedures.

	  Example: If you have defined a procedure called 'on_482',
	  it will be called by receiving a numeric message 482 from
	  your server. Then you're able to use variable 'on_args(line)'
	  that includes the raw line received from server.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Some procedures existed twice within file 'tkircrc-example'.
	  (Thanks Aaron!)
	- Small logfile-bug fixed. Command "/logs" has displayed too many
	  logfiles.
	- tkirc has updated topics too frequently.

      OTHER:
	- Now tkirc tries to load a global and a local tkircrc at starting:
	    global: '/usr/local/lib/tkirc/tkircrc'
	    local: '~/.tkircrc' or '.tkirc/tkircrc'
	  Example: If you want to set tkirc's fonts for all users of your
	    system, you can set them within '/usr/local/lib/tkirc/tkircrc'.


1.147            (97/10/17)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Command /closelog has a little bug:
	  can't read "log(1,rawswitch)": no such element in array

      OTHER:
	- Command handling for 'user_styles' improved.


1.146            (97/10/14)

      NEW FEATURES:
        - Some log-commands (/msglog and /log) have a new option
          ("-r") for printing raw lines.
	- If file '~/.tkircrc' can not be found, tkirc will try to
	  open file '~/.tkirc/tkircrc'.

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- button_font, checkbutton_font, entry_font, label_font,
	  listbox_font, menu_font, menubutton_font, radiobutton_font,
	  text_font: Do you want to select other fonts for your widgets?

	  Note: If you use the old procedure "showarticle" within your
	        .tkircrc, you have to replace "deluxetext" through "Text"!

	- show_time_on_private_when_present, show_time_on_private_when_away,
	  show_time_on_public_when_present, show_time_on_public_when_away:
	  These variables allow you to see a timestamp at some public or 
	  private events. (This was a feature-request. Hi Aaron! *grin*)

      OTHER:
	- The procedures startup1 and startup2 were replaced through
	  on_tkircstart, on_ircIIstart and on_connect.

	  Note: Maybe you have to change your startup-code!

	- The procedures 'showarticle', 'getarticle' and 'savearticle'
	  were moved from tkirc-example to tkirc. Therefore you don't
	  need to have them in your .tkircrc!
	- tkirc's /ONs with section marks made problems in some languages.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Now you can press Alt-c to open a chat-window. =:^|
	- Minor bug in command /search fixed.


1.142            (97/09/06)

      NEW FEATURES:
	- Now you can click on the nicks of received private
	  messages/notices to send a /whois for that nickname.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Bug in clipboard handling fixed.
	- Nicknames with "^" couldn't be banned sometimes.
	- Command /exchange improved.
	- Mode +v was not correctly set on netjoin.
	- Wrong bindings for <Shift-Home> and <Shift-End> removed.


1.138            (97/08/07)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- CTCP PING via menu didn't use the current time.
	- Command "/exchange" had a little bug. =:^(


1.137            (97/08/04)

      NEW FEATURES:
        - Support of RPL_BOUNCE: tkirc automaticly connects to new server.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
        - Little but nasty DCC bug fixed.


1.135            (97/08/01)

      NEW FEATURES:
	- Now the userlist has a popup-menu for selected users. Select
	  one or more users and press the right mousebutton!
	- tkirc sorts the userlists for you, if you want. See below!

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- sort_userlist_alphabeticly, sort_userlist_by_channelmodes:
	  The names of these variables should tell you enough.
        - Many variables were changed:
            beep_on_*, show_address_on_*, chat_window_on_*
	  IMPORTANT: Take a look into your ".tkircrc" and 
            exchange these variables with their predecessors!

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Bug on dcc-requests with pipe-sign fixed.
	- tkirc printed wrong margin-texts on server-notices.
	- Sometimes msgIDs with "$" made problems.

      OTHER:
	- Another new on-procedure will be supported (on_servermessage).
	  See also file "tkircrc-example"!
	- Now tkirc pays also attention to variables
          "beep_on_message_when_present" and "beep_on_message_when_away"
          during DCC-chat.


1.128            (97/07/08)

      Now tkirc is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
      it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
      the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option)
      any later version. See file "COPYING" for more details! =:^)


1.127            (97/07/07)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Small text-style-bug fixed.

      OTHER:
	- Text within PIRCH's "fett"-characters ('\x11') will also be printed
          in 'special_style'.
	- URL grabber was improved. No longer clickable URLs like "http://"!
	- Command "/test" removed. =:^)
	- Support of undernet-messages added.


1.121            (97/06/08)

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- request_on_invite: If someone invites you to a channel, you just
	  have to choose "Join" to join that channel with a new window.
	- auto_mark_away, auto_away_period, auto_away_text,
	  auto_unmark_away: tkirc automatically (un)marks you away.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- A small DCC-GET-bug fixed.
	- More than one CTCP request in a single message was not correctly
	  handled.
	- Sometimes "rejoin" didn't correctly work.
	- tkirc could not open multiple DCC-GET-windows at same time.
	- Netsplit handling failed on certain faked netsplit-signoffs. =:^(
	- Sometimes URLs including "%" made problems.

      OTHER:
	- The command 'really' is no longer necessary for something like
	  '/list *windows'. =;^)
	- URL detection has been improved.
	- Now tkirc automatically sets variable NOVICE to OFF.
	  (Too many people had problems with it. *grin*)
	- Width of userlist is limited. (Long channel names won't widen it
	  longer.)


1.110            (97/05/04)

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- escape_sign: Now you can change the escape_sign (default
	  is "^"). Try for example:
	  "/msg <yournick> normal^bbold^b^rreverse^r^uunderline^u^sspecial^s"

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- File handling (":file") within commandline had a nasty bug.
	  DCC send/get failed sometimes. =:^(

      OTHER:
	- Now the entries of "user_styles" support an additional
          element. You can set a command that will be executed when
	  tkirc receives that kind of message.
	  Maybe you should edit your "user_styles"!


1.108            (97/04/22)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Reverse colors were wrong after reloading the ".tkircrc".

      OTHER:
	- Some things was changed (nothing exciting *grin*) to support
	  the commands of tkirc's script page. You can find it at 
	  "http://home.pages.de/~tkirc/scripts/".
	- "user_styles" has a new default value for faked
	  netsplit-signoff-messages. Maybe you should edit your own
          ".tkircrc". (File "tkircrc-example" has been changed too.)


1.105            (07/04/19)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
        - File "tkircrc-example" was missing two lines.  ?:^|
          Through this bug you couldn't start tkirc with file 
          "tkircrc-example". Joulupukk detected it! =:^)
        - Minor bug with "preferred_nicknames" fixed. Sometimes
          you got not the right nickname.


1.104            (97/04/14)

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- beep_on_invite: You get an audible signal (beep), if someone
	  invite's you to his channel.
	- beep_on_invite_only_when_away: Like "beep_on_invite", but you 
	  only gets the beep, if you are marked away.
	- use_margin: Do you want to separate nicknames from the rest of
	  received or sent messages?
	- display_types: For many messages "***" will be replaced through
          the message-type.
	- margin_size: Do you want to resize the margin? =:^)
	- send_away_notice: When you receive a private message/action,
	  an away-notice will be sent. See file 'tkircrc-example'!

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- /bancomment had problems to accept a banpattern.
	- A new chat-window has also been opened on messages or notices
	  from members of the ignorance list. (Hiho Gio!)
	- Netsplit-bug fixed.
	- Bug in logfile handling fixed.

      OTHER:
	- Now tkirc also supports a margin for nicknames and message
	  types, but you don't have to use it. =:^)
	  Because there are difference between messages by using the
          margin and not using it, you have to change the regular 
          expressions of variable 'user_styles'!
	- The handling of netsplits and netjoins was improved.
	- Now invite messages looks like:
	  "*** <nick> (<address>) invites you to channel <channel>"
	- Menu point User->whois has got an own hotkey: alt+i
	- Many non-public variables was moved to arrays. So be careful, 
	  if you have written your own scripts.
	- Logfile handling has been improved. =:^)
	- The procedure to reload your .tkircrc was altered. For example:
	  Changes of "user_styles" (your text-colors) will be noticed.
	- No more multiple messages within the same window for many 
	  channels. Example:
 	  If you have joined more than one channel within one of tkirc's
	  windows and someone who has also joined your channels changes
	  his nickname, you will get only _one_ message for the 
	  nickname-change.
	- Command '/help' also supports tkirc's commands. Try '/help log'
	  for example!
	- With procedure "on_servernotice" you are now able to react to 
	  notices from your server.
	- Variable "user_styles" was altered to support the new 
	  margin-text too. See also "display_types"!
	- If nobody was banned, /savebaninfos didn't write a header to
	  file.
	- Now the test for takeovers also pays attention to netjoins.
	- If a kick follows a matching ban within 10 seconds, the 
	  ban gets the kick-message as comment.
	- Two new shell options:
	    -q : Start up tkirc quickly -- don't load file '.tkircrc'.
	    -t <filename> : Selects a different file to be used as the
	       .tkircrc file for tkirc.
	- Command '/set' also supports tkirc's variables.


1.54		(97/03/11)

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Error: can't read "whoisfilter": no such variable
	  Waahh!  =:^(


1.53		(97/03/10)

      EASIER HOMEPAGE:
	- Now the URL is easier to remember. =;^)
	  "http://home.pages.de/~tkirc/"

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- private_commands: A list of your own IRC commands.
        - tab_aliases: A list of aliases for the usage of TAB.

      NEW COMMANDS:
	- /exchange <ircpath> [<nick> [<server>]]
	  This command allows you to exchange the ircII command, tkirc is
	  just running with. If you are able to use the remote shell 
	  command 'rsh', you can start your ircII on another host.
	  For example:
            /exchange "rsh <host> -l <your_login> <irpath_on_that_host>"
	  This command is also available as shell option '-x'.
	  Try to start from shell:
	    ~> tkirc -x "rsh <host> -l <your_login> <irpath_on_that_host>"

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- The menu function "Reload .tkircrc" had a little bug. =:^(      
	- If a user is "away" and gets a private message, an additional
	  timestamp is added. These timestamp _was_ printed in the textstyle 
	  of the received message (e.g. reverse).
	- The split algorithm for very long messages had a small bug, but 
	  Nobody found it. (Hi Ingo! *grin*)
	- Now "on_signoff" is also called on a disconnect.
	- Problems after ping timeout removed.

      OTHER:
	- The procedure to get addresses of certain nicks (e.g. to ban or
	  notify these nicks) has been improved to prevent question-marks.
	- Two new on-procedures will be supported (on_notify_signon &
	  on_notify_signoff). See also file "tkircrc-example"!
	- The list "private_actions" was replaced by "private_commands"
	  and "add_to_menu_line". Now you are able to add your own menu
          to each main window. Please see also these replacements in 
          file "tkircrc-example"!
	- The channelmode-handling has changed. Instead of checkbuttons
 	  within the menu "Channel/set mode" you have a menu point "Set modes".
	  Select it once and you will see the difference.
        - The channelmode-checkbuttons of the main windows have been replaced
	  through more channelmode-data.
	- ircII's command 'HELP' has been expanded through tkirc's
	  commands.


1.35		(97/02/18)

      NEW HOMEPAGE:
	- Have a look at "http://home.pages.de/~atte/tkirc.html"!


      NEW VARIABLES:
	- request_on_dcc_chat: You have the choice between DCC CHAT and
	  DCC CLOSE, if someone sends a chat-request to you.
	- request_on_dcc_send: When you get a DCC SEND request, you can 
	  choose between DCC CLOSE, DCC RENAME and DCC GET.

      NEW COMMANDS:
	- /wjoin <channel1>[,<channel2>[,...]]
	  This command opens a new window for each channel and joins
	  all given channels.

      NEW FEATURES:
	- New buttons for clipboard support in URL window
	  and MessageID window.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- User modes were not correct after reconnect.
	- /loadbaninfos had a minor bug.
	- Minor bug in netsplit handling fixed.

      OTHER:
	- /leave without parameters will effect the same as "/leave *".
	- tkirc's first lines have been modified to find wish in your path.


1.25            (97/01/27)

      NEW VARIABLES:
	- preferred_partmessages: The channel menu grows. =:^)
	- geometry_kick, geometry_urls, geometry_msgs, geometry_notifies:
	  To set the geometry of some certain tkirc windows.

      NEW FEATURES:
	- A counter for channel users was added.
	- Shift-Home and Shift-End can be used to scroll the buffer
	  of the actual main window to top or bottom.
	- The vertical arrow keys (Up and Down) can be used to select
	  the kickmessage.

      BUGS CORRECTED:
	- Minor bug in netsplit handling fixed.
	- Redirect output to /dev/null made problems through
	  "fconfigure stdout -blocking 0".
	- Error "invalid command name 'OpChannelUser'" fixed.
	- Now error messages will be displayed to shell by using too old
	  versions of Tcl and Tk.
	- Nickname completion was confused by typing a line that begins
