Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.1:
|
|
We are extremely pleased to announce Konversation's newest major release, v1.1.
|
|
Konversation 1.1 is a special release for us in multiple ways: It's our farewell
|
|
to KDE 3, by way of being the last major release built upon that venerable
|
|
platform. It's also our biggest release yet, in terms of the number and
|
|
magnitude of the changes.
|
|
|
|
The additions and improvements in this release are both user-visible and under
|
|
the hood. Some of the highlights are rewritten connection handling (robustness
|
|
and correctness improvements, better support for IRC URLs, bookmarking and
|
|
more), redone DCC with better UI and Passive/Reverse DCC support, a redone away
|
|
system with the addition of auto-away support, redone and much more useful
|
|
remember / marker line support, a new outbound traffic scheduler that is capable
|
|
of aggressive throttling to avoid flooding while smartly reordering messages to
|
|
improve latencies, great convenience additions like a "Next Active Tab" shortcut,
|
|
and much, much more, along with a large number of bugfixes and tweaks to round
|
|
things out. Note: All fixes made since RC1 are marked with a "[New since RC1]"
|
|
label in the changelog.
|
|
|
|
We're confident that this release is the best and most robust version of
|
|
Konversation published so far, and upgrading comes highly recommended to all
|
|
users. Enjoy!

Text views
|
|
* Added an option to hide the scrollbar in chat windows.
|
|
* Don't scroll to bottom if the view was scrolled up before resizing.
|
|
* Fixed chat views occassionally not being scrolled to the bottom at their
|
|
inception with long backlog appends.
|
|
* Fixed an off-by-one error in scrollback culling.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that lead to single leading whitespace characters in lines being
|
|
omitted from display in chat windows.
|
|
* Now preserving trailing whitespace in raw log tabs.
|
|
* Fixed display of '<' and '>' in backlog lines.
|
|
* Fixed copy/paste with shortcuts other than the default Ctrl+C/V ones.
|
|

|
|
wasn't running.
|
|

|
|
which contain multiple links followed by closing parenthesis.
|
|
* Fixed URLs with encoded hash mark %23 being incorrectly passed off to handler.
|
|
* Fixed variable expansion causing certain URLs to be corrupted when pasted.
|
|
* Added a "Save Link As" item to the context menu of links in the chat window.
|
|
* Have the "Save as..." dialog suggest a file name.
|
|
* Implemented Shift+Click to "Save as..." URLs..
|
|
* Made the channel links context menu work in server status views.
|
|
* Fixed nickname links in chat view messages created as a result of '/msg <nick>
|
|
<message>' commands erroneously prepending '->' to nicknames.
|
|
* Fixed operations on nicknames containing "\" characters from the nickname
|
|
context menu.
|
|
* Fixed query view context menus operating on the wrong nickname under certain
|
|
circumstances.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that caused the "Send File..." action in the generic query context
|
|
menu to pick the wrong recipient after hovering the user's own nick in the
|
|
chat display.
|
|
* Fixed date display not using the locale's date format.
|
|
* Fixed IRC color parsing so that the colors gets reset to default if no color
|
|
numbers were given.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that could cause the text selection in a chat window to be messed
|
|
up when new text was appended.
|
|
|
|
Marker/Remember Lines
|
|
* Konversation now distinguishes between manually and automatically inserted
|
|
marker lines, making the "show line in all chat windows" preference less
|
|
confusing.
|
|
* The automatically inserted remember lines when chat windows are hidden are now
|
|
"sliding", i.e. there is only one per chat window, and it moves.
|
|
* Automatically inserted remember lines will now optionally only be inserted
|
|
when there's actually new text being appended to the chat window (enabled by
|
|
default).
|
|
* The automatic remember line will now also be inserted when the window has lost
|
|
focus.
|
|
* Added an action to clear all marker lines in a chat window.
|
|
* Improved marker lines-related preferences and terminology.
|
|
* Improved the appearance of marker lines in the chat window.
|
|
* Made the (marker line-related and other) identity default settings consistent
|
|
between the initial identity and additional newly created identities.
|
|
* Fixed hidden join/part/quit events marking tabs as dirty, allowing multiple
|
|
consecutive remember lines to appear.
|
|
* Fixed crash when minimizing or closing the application window prior to any tab
|
|
switch when the auto-insertion of remember lines is enabled.
|
|
|
|
Input line
|
|
* Fixed input line contents rather than actual sent text being appended to the
|
|
input history upon a multi-line paste edit.
|
|
* Special characters and IRC color codes will now be inserted at the cursor
|
|
position rather than the end of the input line contents.
|
|
|
|
Nickname list
|
|
* Implemented an additional "Sort by activity" nicklist sorting mode.
|
|
* Added Oxygen nicklist icon theme by Nuno Pinheiro.
|
|
* The list of nickname list themes is now sorted alphabetically.
|
|
* Fixed race condition when removing a nicklist theme (listview would be
|
|
repopulated before deletion was complete).
|
|
* Fixed using the wrong palette for the disabled text color in the nickname
|
|
list.
|
|
* Fixed moving back from the custom alternate background color to system colors
|
|
in the channel nickname listviews when disabling the "Use custom colors for
|
|
lists, [...]" preference.
|
|
* Cleanups in the nicklist item code.
|
|
|
|
Tab bar / Tree list
|
|
* Added option to add and remove a channel from its network's auto-join list
|
|
from the tab context menu.
|
|
* Added option to close tabs using middle-mouse.
|
|
* Slightly sped up tab switching by eliminating some redundant UI action state
|
|
updates.
|
|
* Channel tabs will no longer close when kicked, but rather grey out on the tab
|
|
bar and offer context menu actions to rejoin.
|
|
* Channel and query tabs will now grey out on the tab bar when disconnected and
|
|
no higher priority notification is present. Channel tabs will only ungrey if
|
|
and when the channel is successfully rejoined after reconnect; query tabs
|
|
ungrey immediately once reconnected.
|
|
* Display tooltips for truncated treelist items.
|
|
* Fixed forwarding keyboard events received by the treelist to Konsole widgets
|
|
and focus adjustment thereafter as well as generally after switching to
|
|
Konsole tabs by other means.
|
|
* Fixed treelist scrollbar not picking up on new palette when the KDE color
|
|
scheme changes.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when the view treelist would receive
|
|
keypress events during application shutdown.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Fixed a corner case where a server status item could become a
|
|
child item of another server status item when dragging it below an special
|
|
application pane item such as DCC Status or Watched Nicks Online.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Fixed a crash when using the mouse wheel on the list within
|
|
~150ms of a drag and drop operation.
|
|
|
|
System Tray icon
|
|
* Remember and recreate minimized-to-tray state across sessions.
|
|
* Added option for hidden-to-tray startup.
|
|
* Reload tray icons when the icon theme changes at runtime.
|
|
* Added option to not blink the systray icon, but just light it up.
|
|
|
|
Channel Settings Dialog
|
|
* Added a search line to the ban list.
|
|
* Fixed sorting the ban list by time set.
|
|
* Made the ban list's "Time Set" column use KDE locale settings for the date
|
|
format.
|
|
* Fixed OK'ing/Cancel'ing/closing the Channel Settings Dialog not dealing with
|
|
open ban list in-line edits correctly.
|
|
* Reset topic editbox when the channel options dialog has been dismissed with
|
|
cancel.
|
|
* Fixed incorrect time display in the topic history list in the Channel Settings
|
|
dialog.
|
|
|
|
Server List Dialogs
|
|
* Moved the "Show at application startup" option for the Server List dialog to
|
|
the dialog itself.
|
|
* Auto-correct hostnames and passwords entered with preceding or trailing spaces
|
|
in the Server List dialog.
|
|
* Don't allow impossible ports to be set for servers.
|
|
* Sensible default focus in the server list dialog.
|
|
* Fixed unresponsive, defective Server List dialog window appearing at
|
|
application startup using the Beryl or Compiz compositing window managers.
|
|
|
|
Interface Misc
|
|
* Added a "Next Active Tab" keyboard shortcut to jump to the next active tab with
|
|
the highest priority notification.
|
|
* Added a Find Previous standard action.
|
|
* Have the "Insert Character" dialog pick up on text view font changes.
|
|
* Show correct number of colors in the color chooser dialog.
|
|
* Made "Alternate Background" colorchooser disable when unneeded.
|
|
* Fixed crash when changing the KDE color scheme while a non-chat tab is open.
|
|
* The encoding selection now allows returning to the used identity's default
|
|
encoding setting.
|
|
* Update actions on charset changes.
|
|
* Added Notifications Toggle and Encoding sub-menu to the window menu.
|
|
* Moved "Hide Nicklist" menu action from Edit to Settings.
|
|
* Fixed the "Automatically join channel on invite" setting not to show an
|
|
inquiring dialog anyway.
|
|
* Fixed saving the state of the invitation dialog option in the Warning Dialogs
|
|
preferences.
|
|
* Added a warning dialog for quitting with active DCC file transfers.
|
|
* Return focus to the text display widget after closing the search bar in a log
|
|
reader view.
|
|
* Made pressing Return or Enter in the Log File Viewer's size spinbox apply the
|
|
setting, just as pressing the Return button.
|
|
* Fixed a bug where the SSL padlock icon would be shown on a non-SSL connection
|
|
(and clicking would cause a crash).
|
|
* Empty topic labels will no longer show empty tooltips, but rather none at all.
|
|
* Added a sample 12-hour clock format string to the timestamp format combobox.
|
|
* Timestamp format list is no longer localized.
|
|
* Robustness improvements and less UI quirks around channel password handling.
|
|
* Improved general layout and consistency of tab, chat view, query and topic
|
|
context menus. Added some missing icons.
|
|
* Fixed some bugs of UI actions not being appropriately as their context
|
|
changes.
|
|
* Fixed enabled state of "Close All Open Queries" action not being updated
|
|
correctly when queries are closed by way of closing a status view tab.
|
|
* The window caption is now properly being reset when the last tab is closed.
|
|
* Made units in spinboxen in the identity and app preferences UI more
|
|
consistent.
|
|
* Minor fixes to accelerators and tabbing order in various dialogs.
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
* Support command aliases in network connect commands.
|
|
* Turned parameter-less '/away' into a toggle: Sets away state with default
|
|
message initially, and unsets away state if already away.
|
|
* Added an '/aunaway' command to complement '/aaway' (previously, there was only
|
|
'/aback').
|
|
* Added support for '/kill'.
|
|
* A '/join' command for an already-joined channel will now focus it.
|
|
* Added an '/encoding' command as an alias to '/charset'.
|
|
* '/charset' and '/encoding' now accept 'latin-1' as an alias for 'iso-8859-1'.
|
|
* Improved messages for the '/charset' and '/encoding' commands.
|
|
* Rewrote /me parsing to be less hackish and display usage info with an empty
|
|
parameter.
|
|
* '/msg <nick>' is no longer treated as equivalent to '/query <nick>'.
|
|
* '/msg <nick>' will now error out when lacking a message parameter.
|
|
* '/query <recipient> [message]' will now error out when recipient is a channel.
|
|
* Added a '/queuetuner' command to bring up the outbound traffic scheduler's
|
|
tuning/debug pane.
|
|
|
|
Notifications
|
|
* Seperated query messages and messages containing the user's nickname into two
|
|
distinct KNotify events.
|
|
* Made the tab notification color of private messages configurable independently
|
|
from normal messages.
|
|
* Don't highlight own nick on topic created by messages.
|
|
* Fixed disabling notifications for a tab not cancelling highlight sounds.
|
|
* Fixed a race condition where a highlight's autotext reply would outrun the
|
|
original line's tab notification.
|
|
* Fixed actions in queries and DCC chats producing message notification events
|
|
(rather than the correct private message ones).
|
|
* Changed the OSD screensaver check logic to work in KDE 4.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Fixed on screen display occassionally reverting to the default
|
|
position when using the settings dialog to change unrelated settings.
|
|
|
|
Connection handling
|
|
* Improved behavior with regard to reusing existing connections in connection
|
|
attempts that provide an initial channel to join, such as command line
|
|
arguments, the DCOP interface, the bookmark system or irc:// links).
|
|
Previously, the application would have inconsistently either reused an
|
|
existing or created a new connection.
|
|
* Better dialog messages in the interactive variant of the decision to either
|
|
reuse or create a new connection (from the Server List dialog and the Quick
|
|
Connect dialog).
|
|
* Improved and more consistent display of connection names (i.e. network or
|
|
server host name) throughout the application.
|
|
* Much improved irc:// URL support for connection intanciation, with support
|
|
added for IPv6 host names and many of the features proposed by the Mirashi
|
|
specification.
|
|
* Eliminated redundant irc:// URL parsing codepaths in favor of a single one.
|
|
* Added support for irc:// URLs to the chat views.
|
|
* Removed "konversationircprotocolhandler" shell script. The Konversation
|
|
executable now understands irc:// URLs directly.
|
|
* Initiating connections from command line arguments and options now works also
|
|
when the application is already running.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that would cause a connection initiated from command line options
|
|
not to get past the identity validation stage when the configuration file was
|
|
unitialized and empty.
|
|
* The server list dialog will now always be closed when starting Konversation
|
|
with command line arguments to initiate a connection, consistent with the
|
|
configuration-based auto-connect behavior.
|
|
* Providing a channel in the creation of a new connection (i.e. via command line
|
|
arguments, the DCOP interface, the Quick Connect dialog, the bookmark system
|
|
or irc:// links) now consistently pre-empts the stored auto-join channel list
|
|
if the target of the connection is a network or the hostname is found to be
|
|
part of a configured network. Previously, this would only work for Quick
|
|
Connect and the bookmark system (which caused the infamous Sabayon user flood
|
|
in #kde due to their "Get Support" desktop link connecting to Freenode, which
|
|
in an unconfigured Konversation has #kde in its auto-join list).
|
|
* Connections now have globally unique IDs.
|
|
* The DCOP interface now understands connection IDs in addition to host names.
|
|
* The scripting systems now uses globally unique connection IDs rather than
|
|
server host names to refer to connections, fixing a bug where scripted
|
|
responses were being handed to all connections sharing a hostname (which was
|
|
actually intentional in the absence of connection IDs, but undesirable for
|
|
users).
|
|
* Improved iteration behavior over a network's server list on connection losses.
|
|
* The "Reconnect" action now works also when Konversation doesn't consider the
|
|
connection to be in a disconnected state.
|
|
* Improved the server status view messages related to reconnection attempts.
|
|
* Consistently apply the "Reconnect delay" setting (previously confusingly named
|
|
"Reconnect timeout"), which wasn't done before.
|
|
* Fixed a bug that could cause the connection process to claim that a DNS lookup
|
|
was successful when it actually wasn't.
|
|
* Fixed opening bookmarks with spaces in the target address name (which may be a
|
|
network name, and networks may have spaces in their name).
|
|
* Properly update the state of the "Add/Remove to Watched Nicknames" nickname
|
|
context menu actions when the connection isn't to a config-backed network, in
|
|
which case there's no way to store and make use of those list entries.
|
|
* Fixed a crash when quitting the application with a resident connection that
|
|
disconnected due to an SSL error.
|
|
* Fixed crashes in the DCOP interface if no connection was present.
|
|
* Make the "Reconnect" action available even while ostensibly in the process of
|
|
connecting.
|
|
* Fix possible crash when closing all views and subsequently creating a new
|
|
connection.
|
|
* Fixed crash upon auto-connect at application startup.
|
|
* Improved the naming of preferences related to automatic reconnection attempts
|
|
to be less confusing.
|
|
* Made it possible to set the number of automatic reconnection attempts to
|
|
unlimited.
|
|
* Provided better default values to the preferences related to automatic
|
|
reconnection attempts.
|
|
* Fixed crash when opening a Konsole tab and Konsole was not installed.
|
|
* Fixed allowing the user to create an infinite loop of showing the SSL
|
|
connection details dialog upon being presented with the invalid certificate
|
|
multiple choice dialog at connection time by checking "Do not ask again" and
|
|
then clicking "Details".
|
|
|
|
Identities
|
|
* Made it possible to set a Quit message independently from the Part message.
|
|
* Saving a newly-created identity is no longer allowed without entering a real
|
|
name.
|
|
* Apply switching the identity in the identity dialog as opened from the network
|
|
dialog to the network's settings.
|
|
* Have the Edit/Delete/Up/Down buttons for the nickname list of an Identity
|
|
correctly change state according to the selection
|
|
|
|
Away system
|
|
* Added per-identity support for automatic away on a configurable amount of user
|
|
desktop inactivity and/or screensaver activation, along with support for
|
|
automatic return on activity.
|
|
* Fixed the "Global Away" toggle to make sense and update its state properly.
|
|
* Turned parameter-less '/away' into a toggle: Sets away state with default
|
|
message initially, and unsets away state if already away.
|
|
* Added an '/aunaway' command to complement '/aaway' (previously, there was only
|
|
'/aback').
|
|
* Broadly rewrote away management related code for improved robustness and less
|
|
duplication and hacks (e.g. no more abuse of multiServerCommand for global
|
|
away).
|
|
|
|
DCC
|
|
* Massive DCC refactoring and improved reliability.
|
|
* Passive DCC support (Reverse DCC RECV, SEND).
|
|
* Replaced the DCC Transfer Details dialog with a retractable transfer details
|
|
pane directly in the DCC Status tab.
|
|
* Added DCC transfer average speed reading to the DCC transfer details panel.
|
|
* The DCC Status tab now remembers its column widths across sessions.
|
|
* Fixed duplicated quotation marks around file names in DCC transfer status
|
|
messages.
|
|
* Fixed "Open File" DCC dialog remembering the last viewed location incorrectly.
|
|
* Added an "Open Folder" button to the DCC transfer details panel.
|
|
* Added check for whether the URL is well-formed before initiating a DCC send.
|
|
Fixes a bug of dragging a nickname link in the chat view onto the query chat
|
|
view drop target starting a DCC transfer that cannot succeed.
|
|
* Ported the DCC code away from relying on server group IDs to refer to
|
|
connections, made it use connection IDs instead. Fixes potential bugs with
|
|
multiple concurrent connections to the same network.
|
|
* Fixed queued DCC transfer items not picking up on download destination
|
|
directory changes.
|
|
* Fixed bug leading to crash upon initiating DCC Chat when "Focus new tabs" was
|
|
enabled.
|
|
* [New since RC1] New transfer items added to the DCC panel's transfer list are no
|
|
longer automatically selected, meaning work on other items in the list occuring
|
|
at the same time no longer gets interrupted.
|
|
* [New since RC1] The "Filename:" line in the DCC panel's detailed info pane is
|
|
now using text squeezing to avoid an increase in minimum window width with long
|
|
file names.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Failed receives now longer show 833TB/s as their transfer
|
|
speed.
|
|
|
|
Blowfish support
|
|
* Fixed FiSH-style +p prefix to send clear text to channel despite an encryption
|
|
key being set.
|
|
* Text encoding is now being applied to the cleartext, rather than the
|
|
ciphertext. This fixes using characters outside the ASCII range with blowfish
|
|
encryption.
|
|
* Fixed CTCP (and thus DCC) requests to nicknames for whom an encryption key is
|
|
set.
|
|
* Added support for encrypted topics.
|
|
* If an encryption key is set, a lock icon will now be shown next to the input
|
|
box.
|
|
* Added a '/showkey <channel|query>' command to show the encryption key for the
|
|
target in a popup dialog.
|
|
|
|
Auto-replace
|
|
* Improved auto-replace behavior with multiple matches in one line (fixes
|
|
multiple Wikipedia links).
|
|
* Fixed bug that could cause auto-replace to replace the wrong group of the
|
|
matching string.
|
|
* Auto-replace is now case-sensitive in regular expression mode.
|
|
* Added regular expression editor button to auto-replace preferences.
|
|
* Fixed conditional enabling of the RegExpEditor button in the auto-replace
|
|
preferences page.
|
|
|
|
Ignore
|
|
* Fixed being asked twice whether to close a query upon ignoring the opponent.
|
|
* Fixed crash when opting to close a query upon chosing to ignore the opponent
|
|
from the context menu of his nickname.
|
|
|
|
Watched Nicknames
|
|
* Improved robustness of the Watched Nicknames Online system.
|
|
* The "Offline" branches in the "Watched Nicks Online" list will now be omitted
|
|
when there are no offline nicks for the respective network.
|
|
* Fixed display of WHOIS spam prompted by the Watch List's WHOIS activity.
|
|
* Connections to non-config-backed targets no longer show in Watched Nicks
|
|
Online.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Actually honor the preference to enable/disable the Watched
|
|
Nicknames Online system, and apply it at runtime.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Make sure the periodic Watched Nicknames Online check actually
|
|
starts running within the same session after adding the first nickname to the
|
|
list.
|
|
* [New since RC1] Fixed a crash on quit with the Watched Nicks Online tab open and
|
|
there being an open connection to a network that nicks are being watched for.
|
|
|
|
Channel List
|
|
* IRC markup is now removed from content in the Channel List view.
|
|
* Speed improvements in Channel List views.
|
|
* Fixed keyboard accelerator collisions in Channel List views.
|
|
* Allow higher values than 99 in the min/max users filter spin boxes in Channel
|
|
List views.
|
|
|
|
Under the Hood / Protocol
|
|
* Rewrote the outbound queue scheduling system to be smart enough to reorder
|
|
outbound traffic to reduce interactive latency while aggressively throttling
|
|
the rate to prevent flooding. Use '/queuetuner' to tweak.
|
|
* Rearranged when and how auto-who is triggered upon channel join a bit, to
|
|
avoid excessive flooding on multiple concurrent joins in some cases.
|
|
* Auto-Who reliability improvements.
|
|
* Fixed auto-join with very many channels (the auto-join command would exceed
|
|
the maximum buffer length; it is now split into multiple commands as needed).
|
|
* Fixed bugs around rejoining channels after reconnects related to the cause of
|
|
the disconnect, channel passwords and picking the actual list of joined
|
|
channels over the network's auto-join list.
|
|
* Improved behavioral consistency in situations where the auto-join list is
|
|
preempted by a transitory auto-join channel (bookmarks, etc.).
|
|
* Fixed bug that caused the topic state not to be cleared properly prior to
|
|
rejoining channels during reconnects.
|
|
* Fixed onotice payload being cut off after the first word.
|
|
* Changed RPL_WHOISOPERATOR handling to internationalize the common case ("is an
|
|
IRC Operator") and otherwise passthrough the string sent by the server.
|
|
* Fixed parsing of alternate invite format on Asuka ircds (QuakeNet).
|
|
* Added support for PRIVMSG from the server.
|
|
* Support RPL_UMODEIS.
|
|
* Announce 'k' channel mode (i.e. channel key) changes in non-raw mode as well.
|
|
* The command part of CTCP requests is now always converted to uppercase before
|
|
sending, as some clients don't like lower- or mixed-case commands as the user

Changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1
|
|
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation 1.0.1,
|
|
a maintenance release featuring notable improvements for users of right-to-
|
|
left languages (including new Arabic and Hebrew translations), further re-
|
|
finement of the user interface and application functionality, and fixes for
|
|
minor defects found in the previous release.
|
|
|
|
* A bug that caused left-to-right text contained in lines determined to be
|
|
right-to-left text to appear reversed has been fixed.
|
|
* Whether a line is treated as right-to-left vs. left-to-right text is now
|
|
determined by the amount of each type of character in the line, improving
|
|
the user experience in chats involving bi-directional text considerably.
|
|
* The "Edit Network" dialog has been refined for clarity and ease of use.
|
|
* A warning dialog to prevent accidentally quitting Konversation has been
|
|
added.
|
|

|
|
* The '/media' script command now sports improved player recognition, enhan-
|
|
ced and easier configurability, the ability to distinguish between audio
|
|
and video media as well as newly added support for kdetv. New '/audio' and
|
|
'/video' command aliases have been added to expose these new abilities.
|
|
* The lower boundary of the default DCC port range has been raised from 1025
|
|
to 1026 to avoid conflicts with the commonly blocked Windows RPC port 1025.
|
|
* Dismissing an OSD notification by clicking on it will now also cancel the
|
|
systray notification flash.
|
|
* A new configuration file option [OSD]OSDCheckDesktopLock has been added,
|
|
allowing to manually disable the screensaver check in non-KDE environments
|
|
that do not support it, causing the OSD not to be displayed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the "Switch to" sub-menu in the context menus of
|
|
tabs not to be updated properly upon switching tabs has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that caused the 'irc setBack' DCOP call not to function has been
|
|

|
|
an immediately following character to be used as keyboard accelerator has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that caused ignoring nicknames with '[' or ']' characters in them to
|
|
fail has been fixed.
|
|
* Command aliases containing regular expression syntax can no longer cause
|
|
built-in commands not to function.
|
|

Changes from 0.19 to 1.0
|
|
We are extremely pleased to announce the immediate availability of Konversation
|
|
1.0, a significant milestone in the lifetime of the Konversation project. This
|
|
release includes major new functionality as well as a large amount of
|
|
improvements to existing functionality, with an emphasis on user interface
|
|
polish and overall reliability. Notable new features include a vertical treelist
|
|
of tabs as an alternative to the traditional tab bar, auto-replacement of words
|
|
in incoming and outgoing messages, an improved Channel Settings dialog now
|
|
featuring a ban list, an optional expanding input box and many improvements to
|
|
both DCC file transfers and DCC chats. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
User Interface
|
|
* It is now possible to place the tabs on the left side of the application
|
|
window.
|
|
This has been implemented as a treelist of tabs. The treelist supports all of
|
|
the cosmetic and interactive properties of the original horizontal tab bar,
|
|
including colored notifications, LED icons, (hover) close buttons with delayed
|
|
activation, reordering, drag'n'drop and mouse wheel cruising. And a few tricks
|
|
of its own.
|
|
* Connection status tabs now feature specific context menu entries to disconnect
|
|
and reconnect, as well as to join a channel on that connection.
|
|
* The automatic resizing of tabs in the tab bar first implemented in version
|
|
0.19 is now optional.
|
|
* The grouping behavior of Channel List and Raw Log tabs in the tab bar has been
|
|
improved.
|
|
* Disabling notification for a tab will now unset the active notification.
|
|
* The enabled/disabled state of the notifications for connection status tabs
|
|
will
|
|
now be remembered across sessions for configured networks.
|
|
* The speed of switching tabs in quick succession with the auto-spellchecking
|
|
preference enabled has been improved.
|
|
* Using custom fonts in the user interface is now optional. The font used by the
|
|
tab bar is now configurable.
|
|
* Events in the connection status tabs are now logged into separate logfiles.
|
|
* The Channel Settings dialog now includes a Ban List tab that allows viewing,
|
|
adding and removing bans in a channel. The dialog can now be opened from the
|
|
menu bar and chat window context menu in addition to the button in the topic
|
|
area.
|
|
* Mode and topic handling in the Channel Settings dialog and the channel mode
|
|
buttons have been overhauled to make them more robust and reliable.
|
|
* The number of Quick Buttons to show below the nickname list in channel tabs is
|
|
now configurable. Additional buttons may be added or existing buttons removed.
|
|
* Konversation now supports auto-replacing words in incoming and outgoing
|
|
messages. Regular expressions are supported. The auto-replace configuration
|
|
can
|
|
be found in the preferences dialog. The static Wiki link feature found in
|
|
older
|
|
versions has been retired in favor of an auto-replace rule.
|
|
* The search bar has been redesigned to provide a better user experience.
|
|
* The "Find Next" action will now open the search bar when there is no active
|
|
search, matching the behavior of Konqueror and other KDE applications.
|
|
* The sorting of the nick completion list has been improved to put the last
|
|
active user for a given completion prefix at the beginning of the list.
|
|
* The tab completion of the user's own nickname has been reenabled.
|
|
* The nick completion feature has been significantly cleaned up and made more
|
|
reliable. A bug that could lead to an application crash during nick completion
|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
* An option to expand the vertical size of the input box automatically when the
|
|
text entered grows beyond the length of a single line has been added.
|
|
* The behavior of the input box on pasting text including leading or trailing
|
|
newline characters has been improved never to cause lines being sent without
|
|
user acknowledgement.
|
|
* The input box of connection status, channel and query tabs will now be
|
|
disabled
|
|
and the nickname list of channel tabs cleared when the respective server
|
|
connection is closed.
|
|
* Konversation can now optionally insert a remember line whenever a tab is
|
|
hidden,
|
|
either by switching to a different tab or minimizing the window.
|
|
* Multiple consecutive remember lines will no longer be inserted.
|
|
* Remember lines can now also be inserted into the chat windows of connection
|
|
status and DCC Chat tabs.
|
|
* The Colored Nicknames feature will now always assign the same color to the
|
|
same
|
|
nickname.
|
|
* The number of backlog lines to show in the chat window is now configurable.
|
|
* The recognition of URLs in the chat window has been improved to cope better
|
|
with URLs containing or being surrounded by parenthesis and to exclude
|
|
trailing
|
|
dots and commas.
|
|
* Channel links following mode characters or surrounded by interpunctuation are
|
|
now properly recognized in the chat window.
|
|
* The context menus for URLs and channel links in the topic area now match the
|
|
context menus in the chat window.
|
|
* Multiple ignore or unignore actions ordered at the same time will no longer be
|
|
shown on separate lines in the chat window.
|
|
* The nickname context menus in the chat window, topic are and the nickname list
|
|
will now show "Ignore", "Unignore" and "Add to Watched Nicknames" entries as
|
|
applicable.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the chat window nickname context menu actions ceasing
|
|
to function after the targeted user left the channel has been fixed.
|
|
* The Server List dialog now allows connecting to a specific server in a network
|
|
even when a connection to that network has been previously established. If
|
|
that
|
|
connection is active, a dialog box will verify whether to disconnect from the
|
|
current server and connect to the chosen one instead, otherwise the connection
|
|
will simply be reestablished using the newly chosen server.
|
|
* The Quick Connect feature will now properly warn when the identity to be used
|
|
in the connection attempt is not set up properly.
|
|
* The appearance and behavior of the warning about an incorrectly set-up
|
|
identity
|
|
have been improved. A prior connection attempt will now be automatically
|
|
resumed
|
|
after the identity settings have been corrected.
|
|
* Many of the pages in the Konversation preferences dialog have been redesigned
|
|
and rewritten for improved consistency, reliability and clarity. The general
|
|
layout of the dialog has been improved as well.
|
|
* The naming of certain actions in the Configure Shortcuts dialog has been
|
|
improved to make them easier to recognize outside of their normal context in
|
|
the application interface.
|
|
* Numerous improvements to keyboard navigation have been made.
|
|
* The nickname list now longer allows drag'n'drop of channel or user links from
|
|
the chat window onto list entries, as a DCC transfer of those data sources
|
|
cannot succeed.
|
|
* The preference to show or hide the real names of users in the nickname list
|
|
will
|
|
now be applied immediately.
|
|
* The columns of the nickname list will no longer resize erratically when the
|
|
preferences to show or hide real names and hostmasks are changed at runtime.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to nicknames being sent as messages when double-clicking
|
|
a selection of multiple nicknames in the nickname list has been fixed.
|
|
* The placement of actions in the application menus has been improved.
|
|
* The shown/hidden state of the application menubar will now be remembered
|
|
across
|
|
sessions. When the menubar is hidden, a menu action to show it again will now
|
|
be
|
|
added to the chat window context menu.
|
|
* The "Close All Open Queries" menu action is now be disabled properly when
|
|
there
|
|
are no open queries.
|
|

|
|
properly close all open queries has been fixed.

|
|
choosing
|
|
to ignore someone in a query has been fixed.
|
|
* The "Hide Nicklist" menu action will now be disabled properly when the tab
|
|
shown
|
|

|
|
current
|
|
tab does not support them.
|
|
* The default double-click action in the "Watched Nicks Online" tab is now to
|
|
open
|
|
a query to the respective contact.
|
|
* The sorting in the Watched Nicks Online tab has been improved: Offline users
|
|
are
|
|
now always sorted at the bottom.
|
|
* Several bugs in the "Watched Nicknames Online" tab that could lead to
|
|
application
|
|
crashes have been fixed.
|
|
* Several errors in the chat window status messages produced by the Watched
|
|
Nicks
|
|
Online system have been corrected.
|
|
* A bug that could lead the the columns in the "Watched Nicks Online" list
|
|
resizing
|
|
erratically has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the status bar not being cleared properly when the
|
|
last
|
|
tab was closed or the application window lost focus after a link was
|
|
launched from the chat window has been fixed.
|
|
* The display of temporary and static info texts in the status bar has been
|
|
improved not to interfere with each other and provide more useful information.
|
|
Also, the status bar lag info section is now updated more consistently to
|
|
avoid
|
|
jumping around of the other status bar sections.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to a wrong nickname count being shown in the status bar
|
|
of channel tabs has been fixed.
|
|
* Repeated triggering of the "Open URL Catcher" menu action will now properly
|
|
show and hide the URL Catcher tab.
|
|
* The warning about pasting text with multiple lines can now be properly
|
|
disabled
|
|
and reenabled from the Warning Dialogs preferences page.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to IRC bookmarks showing up as actions in the Configure
|
|
Shortcuts dialog has been fixed.
|
|

|
|
to the tab bar close buttons immediately has been fixed.
|

|
|
system tray.
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
* The 'Now Playing' script invoked via the /media command alias now features
|
|
support for XMMS and KSCD as well as improved support for untagged media files
|
|
playing in Amarok. Support for non-ASCII encodings in file names and meta tags
|
|
has been improved as well.
|
|
* New "/hop" and "/dehop" commands to grant or remove half-op status from a user
|
|
have been added.
|
|
* A new "/devoice" command has been added.
|

supports the same parameters as the "/ban" command plus an additional "kickban
|
|
reason" parameter.
|
|
* Commands to grant or remove status for users will now be applied to the user's
|
|
own nickname when no nickname parameter is given.
|
|
* The "/unignore" command now supports the same simple nickname-only format as
|
|
the "/ignore" command.
|
|
* If given no parameter, the "/away" command will now set the away state with
|
|
the default away message. The "/back" and "/unaway" commands can be used to
|
|
unset the away state.
|
|
* You may now use "%nick" as a placeholder for your own nickname in the auto-
|
|
connect commands for a network.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the auto-connect commands for a network not being
|
|
executed correctly has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
DCC
|
|
* DCC file transfers now support file names containing spaces on send, receive
|
|
and resume. The automatic replacement of spaces with underscores in file names
|
|
can now be optionally disabled in the DCC preferences.
|
|
* File names are no longer being needlessly lower-cased during DCC transfers.
|
|
* The DCC file transfer and DCC Chat info messages shown in the chat window have
|
|
been significantly improved to provide more useful information while being
|
|
less
|
|
excessively verbose.
|
|
* DCC Chats will now be logged properly.
|
|
* It is now possible to select multiple files in the DCC Status tab.
|
|
* The default size of the buffer used in DCC transfers has been increased to
|
|
8192kb for improved DCC performance.
|
|
* The DCC Status tab will no longer show a speed of '?' for completed, failed or
|
|
aborted transfers.
|
|
* Bugs that could lead to the IP used for DCC transfers not being retrieved from
|
|
the server correctly upon reconnect or in general on certain servers have been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the progress bar of a transfer in the DCC Status tab
|
|
being rendered at a wrong position has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to Konversation's CPU usage spiking to 100% after a DCC
|
|
Chat was closed from the remote side has been fixed.
|
|
* Several bugs that could lead to application crashes in DCC Chat tabs after the
|
|
server connection from which the DCC Chat originated was closed have been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
Technology
|
|
* Konversation will now properly split up very long lines into multiple messages
|
|
by calculating the length of the message preamble and the number of bytes of
|
|
the
|
|
text payload. Encodings that use multiple or variable numbers of bytes per
|
|
character are accounted for.
|
|
* The Disconnect and Reconnect menu actions and the respective input box
|
|
commands
|
|
have been rewritten for increased reliability. Their state will now be updated
|
|
properly, and they will quit the IRC server in the correct manner.
|
|
* A previous away state will now be recreated upon reconnection to a server.
|
|
* The Quick Connect feature will now no longer join the auto-join channels of
|
|
the configured network that the quick connect server was recognized as being a
|
|
part of.
|
|
* The "Konversation" and "KonvDCOPIdentity" DCOP objects have been renamed to
|
|
"irc" and "identity", respectively. Several bugs in the DCOP API have been
|
|
fixed, and deprecated interfaces removed.
|
|
* Processing of the user lists of newly joined channels has been rewritten to
|
|
fix several bugs, including improved compatibility with the Bip IRC proxy and
|
|
other servers.
|
|
* The lag calculation and timeout handling code has been rewritten for improved
|
|
reliability and performance.
|
|
* Recognition of the half-op user status has been improved.
|
|
* The detection of text being typed into the input box to prevent focussing new
|
|
tabs at inconvenient times has been improved to work correctly with non-ASCII
|
|
characters.
|
|
* The handling of channel user limits in the Channel Settings dialog is now more
|
|
reliable.
|
|
* Support for mode flags encountered on UnrealIRCD servers has been improved.
|
|
* Support for RPL_DATASTR on UnrealIRCD servers has been improved.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to the mode flags displayed for users not being updated
|
|
properly after they were kicked from a channel has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to iterating over a configured network's servers failing
|
|
after a connection failure has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to Konversation connecting to the wrong server in a
|
|
network when choosing to connect to a specific server from the Server List
|
|
dialog
|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
* A dialog will now ask the user for an additional nickname when all nicknames
|
|
configured in the identity where tried unsuccessfully during a connection
|
|
attempt. This replaces the previous behavior of repeatedly appending
|
|
underscores
|
|
to the last nickname, which eventually ran into the nickname length limit on
|
|
the
|
|
server.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to unnecessary nick changes immediately after connecting
|
|
to a server has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to Konversation trying to auto-identify multiple times
|
|
upon connect on certain servers has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to Konversation not picking up on users leaving a
|
|
channel without providing a part or quit message on UnrealIRCD servers has
|
|
been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
* Changes to the list of auto-join channels for a network will now be applied
|
|
immediately.
|
|
* The auto-reconnect preference will now be properly applied at runtime.
|
|
* Konversation will no longer enable IDENTIFY-MSG mode on servers that support
|
|
it,
|
|
but continues to be able to process messages with IDENTIFY-MSG prefixes in
|
|
case
|
|
an involved IRC proxy chose to enable IDENTIFY-MSG mode.
|
|
* The broken default for the Custom Web Browser preference has been fixed.
|
|
* Konversation will no longer allow Konsole tabs to be opened in KDE
|
|
environments in which the use of terminals is prohibited by the KIOSK
|
|
framework.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to an application crash when a Konsole tab was closed
|
|
from the Konsole component's context menu has been fixed.
|
|
* A bug that could lead to an application crash when a channel was joined while
|
|
the application window was hidden has been fixed.

|
|
|
|
Changes from 0.18 to 0.19
|
|
We are extremely pleased to announce the immediate release of Konversation 0.19.
|
|
The focus
|
|
of this release is on extending and improving upon established functionality.
|
|
Most notable
|
|
in this regard are significantly improved management of IRC networks and servers
|
|
all across
|
|
the application, a redesigned tab bar and better support for common IRC
|
|
commands. A long
|
|
list of further additions and improvements has us confident of this being the
|
|
best version
|
|
of Konversation yet. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
User Interface
|
|
* The Server List dialog has been rewritten to allow direct manipulation of a
|
|
network's
|
|
servers and features more intelligent sorting behavior. Reordering networks
|
|
via drag
|
|
and drop is now possible. A behavioral audit of all actions in the dialog
|
|
resulted in
|
|
numerous improvements.
|
|
* A redesigned tab bar sports highly configurable text- and LED icon-based
|
|
notifications
|
|
as well as more intelligent scaling behavior under space-critical conditions.
|
|
* Tabs are now intelligently grouped around their respective connection status
|
|
tab.
|
|
* Status tab labels now display the user-configured network name where
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
* The Find Text dialog has been replaced by a search bar that no longer
|
|
interrupts your
|
|
workflow.
|
|
* Channel links in the chat area now feature a context menu for quick access to
|
|
common
|
|
actions.
|
|
* Usage of the status bar has been extended to show context-relevant information
|
|
as the
|
|
cursor passes over various interface elements. The lag information segment is
|
|
now
|
|
only shown where appropriate.
|
|
* A channel's topic can now be cleared by setting an empty text in the Channel
|
|
Options
|
|
dialog.
|
|
* The Channel Options dialog has been redesigned to allow editing the current
|
|
topic
|
