| Perl CyanChat Client 2.x |
|
|
+--------------------------+
|
|
|
|
3.0 Jun 21 2007
|
|
- Made some changes to the Debug Window:
|
|
- The output filehandles (STDOUT; STDERR) are no longer bound to this window; they're
|
|
sent to the terminal (if present) like default.
|
|
- Only CC packets are displayed in the Debug Window. Server packets are in blue text,
|
|
and client packets are in red.
|
|
- Changed the default Special Guest color back to orange, and the action color back
|
|
to yellow.
|
|
- Built in support for "profiles." Your configuration, ignore lists, and chat logs
|
|
are now saved in your home directory instead of in PCCC's directory. So on Linux
|
|
this means /home/username/.pccc, and WinXP is C:/Documents and Settings/user/PCCC
|
|
- Made a minor edit to the Net::CyanChat library, so that it can detect when the
|
|
server has banned you from the room.
|
|
- Added support for sound effects. It uses the Win32::MediaPlayer module on Windows,
|
|
or the system command `play` on Linux.
|
|
- Added a "Force Quit" command under the File Menu. It's disabled by default. When
|
|
you attempt at least once to exit the program properly, and it for whatever reason
|
|
fails to exit, the Force Quit option becomes enabled. Alternatively, the keyboard
|
|
shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Q will kill the program.
|
|
- Moved the configuration options for MutualIgnore, LoudIgnore, and SendIgnore to
|
|
the bottom of the "Ignored Users" tab.
|
|
- Created a "Sounds" tab, with configurable options for:
|
|
- Enable sounds -- disable this, and all sounds are disabled.
|
|
- Play sounds on certain events...
|
|
- When a user joins the room
|
|
- When a user exits the room
|
|
- When a public message is received
|
|
- When a private message is received
|
|
- Added a "Mute sounds" option to the bottom of the Chat menu. This option will
|
|
temporarily disable sounds, but not permanently save this state to your config
|
|
file.
|
|
- Changed how action messages ("/me") and typo messages appear. The new style is:
|
|
Action Messages: ** Nickname performs an action **
|
|
Typo Messages: [Nickname] *their typo correction
|
|
All the text is in the action text color except for the nickname, and in the case
|
|
of typo messages, the brackets around the nick. In typo corrections, the user's exact
|
|
message is shown as usual, just in yellow text instead of silver.
|
|
- Reprogrammed the entire help system. It now uses Tk::HyperText and renders HTML
|
|
documents from the "docs" folder. Also, added an "About" menu option to the Help menu,
|
|
which opens the appropriate page in the Help Viewer. Also, "Help" buttons on the
|
|
Preferences window will load the appropriate page in the Help Viewer too.
|
|
- Bug fix: when copying/pasting text from an outside source (e.g. from a web page)
|
|
into the typing space, the newline characters would be preserved when they shouldn't
|
|
be. Sending the message would result in getting banned from Cho. This has been fixed
|
|
now, as the characters \x0d (Cr) and \x0a (Lf) are filtered out of your message.
|
|
- Bug fix: got rid of the right-click context menus on the Who List. For Windows users,
|
|
right-clicking and bringing up this menu would pause the main program loop, effectively
|
|
preventing PCCC from polling the server for new events. The GUI would still work just fine,
|
|
but the loop wouldn't work anymore.
|
|
|
|
2.8 Jun 1 2007
|
|
- Removed the "highlight borders" on the widgets, so that Linux and Mac users don't
|
|
have to see those ugly borders around i.e. the "Autoscroll" check box, as well as
|
|
buttons and text boxes.
|
|
- Redesigned the preferences window.
|
|
- Added the option of *not* showing private messages in new IM windows. When the
|
|
option is disabled, private messages only show up in IM windows if an IM window
|
|
already exists, and the only way to create an IM window is to double-click a name
|
|
in the Who List.
|
|
- Added right-click context menus to the Who List. Right-clicking a user displays a
|
|
context menu along the lines of:
|
|
Username:address
|
|
----------------
|
|
Send private message
|
|
Ignore user
|
|
... or "Unignore user" if you already ignored them.
|
|
- Added an "Ignored Users" tab to the Preferences window, where you can view your
|
|
ignore list, adding or removing users if necessary.
|
|
- Added "Notifications" -- when a new message arrives (in public chat or private
|
|
message windows), and the window is out of focus or minimized, the window title
|
|
will animate to get your attention.
|
|
- Added an "Auto-logging" option, which will automatically log all messages received
|
|
in chat. It saves them into "./logs/yyyy-mm-dd/yyyymmdd-x.html", where yyyymmdd is a
|
|
date stamp, and x is a session number starting from 1, which increments each time PCCC
|
|
is run.
|
|
- Bug Fixes:
|
|
- Fixed the "disappearing name" bug (where you'd log in to chat, open the Preferences
|
|
window, hit Cancel, and your nick in the Name: box would revert to the "default nick"
|
|
from the preferences, which is blank by default).
|
|
- Added configuration options:
|
|
- TimeStamps: show time stamps on all messages.
|
|
- IMWindows: show private messages in new "IM" windows
|
|
|
|
2.7 May 23 2007
|
|
- The client now assumes "htmlview" as the default "Browser Command" when you're not
|
|
on Windows and there is no config file yet. Otherwise, the default is "start"
|
|
|
|
2.6 Apr 14 2007
|
|
- Added the "Browser Command" option, to specify the console command used to open your
|
|
web browser. Windows users can just leave this as "start", but Linux users will have
|
|
to specify "firefox", "mozilla", or another command.
|
|
- Added a "Reverse Orientation" option. Users that are familiar with most traditional
|
|
chat programs, in which the message typing space is below the conversation space,
|
|
will want to enable this option (in conjunction with unchecking "Reverse chat dialog").
|
|
- Made the Preferences and Enter Raw Command windows a little bit bigger. The "Ok"
|
|
button was being squished on Linux, and the Enter Raw Command's buttons weren't even
|
|
visible before.
|
|
- Updated the help file with information about the new options added.
|
|
|
|
2.5 Mar 1 2007
|
|
- Two more Frame widgets added to the user interface. Now the window "scales" better
|
|
(when you maximize the window, the input box stays at the top and the dialog window
|
|
stretches to fill all the remaining space; previously, the dialog window and input
|
|
box would fight for the new space, causing a lot of unnecessary padding above and below
|
|
the input box).
|
|
- Added hyperlinking support for the main chat dialog window (but not yet for private
|
|
message windows).
|
|
|
|
2.4 Jan 29 2007
|
|
- Added a checkbutton to enable/disable the automatic scrolling of the chat window when
|
|
new messages are received.
|
|
- The "Disconnect" menu option is disabled from the start if you are not connected yet,
|
|
like it should've been.
|
|
- The Who List gets wiped clean when you disconnect from the server. The lack of doing this
|
|
used to cause problems where people in the Who List weren't actually in the chat room,
|
|
so clearing the list fixes this problem.
|
|
- Made sure I don't forget to include the latest version of Net::CyanChat in the source
|
|
distribution this time. ;)
|
|
|
|
2.3 Nov 7 2006
|
|
- Minor bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Oct 30 2006
|
|
- Added more color variables: the main window background/foreground and the button
|
|
background/foreground is now configurable separate from the rest of the screen.
|
|
The WhoList can have a different background than the dialog window.
|
|
- The "Save Transcript" now saves the conversation as XHTML, keeping the colors of the chat.
|
|
If you save it to a text file, it ignores the formatting (the old behavior of PCCC).
|
|
- Action messages have changed display formats:
|
|
Old Way: *** [username] action ***
|
|
New Way: [username] action in yellow ("action") text color
|
|
- Outgoing private messages are echoed in the chat dialog window, even if you sent them in
|
|
a separate PM window.
|
|
- Added some new configuration options:
|
|
- AutoAct: when a message starts and ends with *'s, it will be treated like a /me action.
|
|
- LoudTypo: when a message starts with a * (typically for typo corrections), a notification
|
|
will be shown about the typo being corrected.
|
|
- Added a full documentation system. Click "Help -> Contents"
|
|
- Bug fixes:
|
|
- Private message windows now auto-scroll.
|
|
|
|
2.1 Oct 24 2006
|
|
- Added new configuration options:
|
|
- AutoJoin: automatically join the room on connect (if Nickname has a length)
|
|
- BlockServer: ignore private messages from ChatServer (when on debug port 1813)
|
|
- LoudIgnore: show a notification when somebody blocks you
|
|
- SendIgnore: send the ignore command to the server when you ignore somebody
|
|
- IgnoreBack: perform a mutual ignore when ignored (ignore the one ingoring you)
|
|
- Added the ability to reset the configuration to the defaults.
|
|
- The entire window now recolors itself when you change color settings (rather than just
|
|
the conversation window)
|
|
- A disconnect handler has been added so the client knows when you've been disconnected
|
|
from the chat server.
|
|
- Added the ability to automatically reconnect on disconnect. This functionality is limited
|
|
though. It won't keep trying. But this will solve the quick temporary disconnects experienced
|
|
on wireless Internet connections.
|
|
- A few bugs have been fixed:
|
|
- The Preferences window now has a fixed default width and height. Previously, it
|
|
was leaving it up to the window contents to automatically adjust its size, but this
|
|
didn't work on *nix platforms and the window was too small.
|
|
- The "Connection Details" window has a fixed default width and height too, for same reasons.
|
|
- Private Message windows will come back now. Previously, if you opened a private message
|
|
window with somebody, then closed that window, you couldn't reopen it (unless the other
|
|
person sent you a message to open the window).
|
|
|
|
2.0 Oct 1 2006
|
|
- Initial release.
