glirc-2.27: ChangeLog.md

# Revision history for glirc2

## 2.27
* Requires GHC 8.4
* Show channel topic in channel on join
* Fix socket leak when failing to load TLS certificates
* Add delay when indicating sent ping to reduce noise

## 2.26
* Updates for GHC 8.4.1
* Added `/toggle-show-ping` and `show-ping` configuration setting
  to toggle visibility of the ping roundtrip times.

## 2.25
* `/ignore` can list ignores and supports full wildcard masks
* Updated C extension API
* Improved OTR extension to avoid interacting with ZNC replays
* Added `protocol-family` configuration option. Set to `inet` or
  `inet6` to force a particular IP protocol.

## 2.24

* `/query` now takes a message parameter and tab-completes
  like `/msg`.

## 2.23

* CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE: Relative paths are now resolved
  from the directory of the configuration file. The "~" alias
  for the home directory works for resolving paths relative
  to $HOME. Absolute paths are unmodified.

* Support network:#channel in /query

* Add an optional OTR extension. See the otr-extension/ directory
  and the wiki for more information.

* Extended the C API with `glirc_inject_chat` and `chat_entrypoint`

* Smarter WYSIWYG highlighting in text edit box. Nicknames are
  highlighted and `/mode` command parameters get correct placeholders.

* Added more information to `/palette`

* Added "human readable" labels to `/rtsstats`

## 2.22

* Added dynanic indentation of wrapped lines. Lines now
  wrap to where the message portion of the line started.
  This removes `indent-wrapped-lines` configuration setting
* Added pervasive word-boundary oriented line wrapping
  (beyond what was previously restricted to chat messages)
* Made nick prefix padding configurable to be on left or right.
  See `nick-padding` setting in `glirc2 --config-format`.
  In addition this setting is now reconfigurable at runtime
  via `/reload`
* Added `/oper` command for network operator authentication.
* Memory savings by packing message timestamp information, and
  using the "detailed" image for regular expression matching.
* Added `/rtsstats` command for inspecting the GHC RTS statistics
* Added many minor IRC query commands: admin, info, map, rules
  motd, version, lusers, kill, knock, list.
