Irssi 0.8.13 has been released and no, this is not an April fool’s joke.
Check out http://www.irssi.org/ for more information and remember to read the NEWS- and ChangeLog-file.
New Features:
- Reject some obviously invalid values in
/set
. - Add perl bindings for
Window::get_history_lines()
- Use an io channel to write the config file.
- Use memory slices instead of memory chunks for text buffer.
- Remove methods to create/destroy
TextBuffer
andTextBufferView
and low level api to add/remove lines, scripts should be fine usingWindow::print_after
andTextBufferView::remove_line
. - Add
print_after
method to Window perl object analogous togui_printtext_after
but which also expands formats and forces a full line. - Better mapping of signal parameters to Perl. All signals used in scripts now need to be registered with
Irssi::signal_register
. - Add public header with interfaces to manage statusbar items (bug #535)
- Recode: assume utf-8 encoding for an ascii string in which no escape character occurs (bug #392).
- Allow
/BAN
,/UNBAN
,/KICKBAN
,/KNOCKOUT
if channel is not synced. Requesting ban lists from an unsynced channel will ask them from the server, banning a user whose u@h irssi does not know will bannick!*@*
and only bans irssi knows about can be removed. - Allow storing multiple “other” prefixes such as +q and +a (original patch by JasonX)
- Add
/set autolog_ignore_targets
for cherry-picking targets that shouldn’t get logged. - Add support for 16 colors. Formats KBGCRMYW and mirc colors are now mapped to colors 8-15. fe-text translates colors 8-15 to bold/blink+0-7 if the terminal supports only 8 colors. If your theme uses one of the high color formats and you really want bold you can change
%FMT<string>
to%fmt%_<string>%_
, it will work fine in all irssi versions. - Better 005 PREFIX support (bug #580).
- Display 407 numerics other than “duplicate channel”.
- Fix display of ratbox-style operspy whois.
- Recode outgoing irc away messages (bug #412).
- Recode outgoing irc quit messages.
- Remove
scrollback_levelclear_levels
setting and add a ‘level’ option tosb levelclear
to specify a comma separated list of levels. - Add perl
__WARN__
handler for scripts (bug #427). - Add
Irssi::command_parse_options
function to parse options for a command. - Revert recode changes introduced in 0.8.12.
- Add completion for
/WINDOW SERVER
. - Support for reading kicks/msgs from
TARGMAX
/MAXTARGETS
005 tokens. - Enhancements to the redirections code.
- Support for
RPL_WHOISACTUALLY
(338 numeric) for both ratbox and ircu (bug #428). -idle
option of/notify

save now makes window-channel bindings instantly effective (bug #35)./ping
without arguments does not send anymore a CTCP ping to a channel (bug #542).- Track IRC operator status of nicks a bit better.
- New
actlist_names
option to add active items names in ‘act’ statusbar item. - New
word_completion_backward
command to scroll backwards in the completion list. - Add ‘list’ option to
/bind
to print all the available commands. - Show setter/time in

before-autosendcmd
(bug #548). - Reduce memory usage of the scrollback buffer and make the display in

- Introduce the type
Irssi::Irc::Client
and signals to communicate with proxy clients to allow for scripting parts of the irssi-proxy. - Add
sb_search.pl
, a script for/SCROLLBACK SEARCH
