tIRC Changes File -- Original Creation Date: 19 May 2004
mo <mo@adelphia.net>
ace <ace@freedomchat.org>

NOTE: You can find changes to older versions in the changes.old.txt file. The file was becoming too large for Notepad; thus, forcing me to create a new file.

	IMPORTANT: to see what has been updated, added, or changed in the version you are using, use your word processors "search" function and search for the version number. For example, to search for changes I have made to version 1.0, in the search box, type:
version 1.0

version 3.1binLaden
5/1/04
* Added a feature that lets you turn on or off speech for a certain window. You go to any window you want. To enable speech, you press control f5. To disable speech, you press control f6 (requested by Cutiecat.)
* I began work on the multy user system; this is not by any means complete.
* Made it so that tIRC starts up maximized; this has been requested by a few people.
* Increased the size of the nickname list so it could show longer nicknames. Thanks Cat!
* tIRC now speaks colors in messages.
* Added a simbol printing command. You press control f2, select a simbol to print and press enter. The simbol will be written at the position of the cursor as if you had typed it yourself.
* I changed control f5 and control f6 to shift f5 and shift f6. This is because control f6 is used for switching windows.
* changed shift f5 (speak topics) to control f5
* Ladyarwen is now pronounced properly--Lady Arwen (requested by Ace.)

5/2/04
* I fixed a bug where the %runtimes variable wasn't being increased. This means that tIRC was telling the user that they have ran the program only one time.
* tIRC no longer shows the agent; I have found that this uses up less ram on my system.
* tIRC now greets you when you load it.
* I changed the default speech settings. The speed is 230, the pitch is 100 and the volume is 65535.
* I added a new action in the tIRC actions/hurt submenu (Throw in Ocean.)
* I fixed a bug where you couldn't disable speech for a DCC window.
* (ace) Added menu item and command-line options for controlling the announcing of colours.
* Fixed problems where colors weren't being stripped.

5/6/04
* Fixed a bug where symbols weren't being placed at the cursor position
* added the alerter system
* When you join a channel, tIRC does a "who" command on the channel. This is so the IAL list can be filled up. We will need this in the future clone script.

5/8/04
* Added password protection to tIRC.
* changed shift f3 key a bit.
* Added a countdown timer. To access, press shift f7 to get into the stopwatch window. Then press the # sign.
* Fixed a bug where it still asked you for a password, even after you answered no to the "first time setup" dialog.

5/12/04
* fixed a bug where tIRC wasn't speaking actions in DCC chats

5/13/04
* I added the /sayignores command. This command lets you decide if you want to allow the announcing of ignroes to the channel. "/sayignores on" turns on the announcing of ignores, "/sayignores off" turns them off.

5/19/04
* added Eloquence support into tIRC. tIRC now comes with it's own character that uses the Eloquence speech synthesizer.
* tIRC now asks you if you want to use Eloquence on startup.
*	Now says "binLaden" correctly.
*	 Now says Dyana correctly.
*	Preparing for release...

tIRC version 3.2
5/21/04
* (While I should have been sleeping), I fixed a bug where the Eloquence agent was not being loaded because two back-slashes weren't being used in the program path and there were no quotes around the path.
* When you press f2, agent does not speak the "reloading agent..." message before it has unloaded. This is so that if you reconfigure your agent, you can just press f2 to reload it.
* We now require that the version of agent you have on your computer is 2.0. If you use a version earlier than 2.0, tIRC will just exit.

5/30/04
* Fixed a bug resulting in f8 not clearing all windows (reported by Cutiecat.)

6/1/04
* Fixed a bug where the %speech on/off variable and the variable that holds punctuation were the same.

6/4/04
* Fixed an ASL bug resulting in incorrect information being sent.
* added a language translation script that uses Babelfish to translate text.
* Added a dictionary script which uses dict.org's dictionary server. To look up a word, it's /dict <word>
* Added a /setalarm command. The syntax is, /setalarm <time>

6/6/04
*	Added a keyboard help system which helps the user become familiar with tIRC function keys. Simply press control+F1 to enable and again to disable it. - ace

6/26/04
* If you press shift f5 and shift f6 in a network status window, it will disable speech for that network.
* Added a "no screen" mode in tIRC. This will turn your screen blank so that sighted people can't tell that you're chatting.
* Added the /setwin command. This command changes the window that "no screen" mode is pointing at. The Syntax is: /setwin <window>
* If someone enables/disables his or her speech, tIRC will only say the message once, even if the person sends the message to other channels.
* Changed speech messages.
* tIRC no longer says "inches" when someone types, "in."
*	Internal: In the speech script, replaced all "says," with "says:". This is really only noticeable if you use punctuation mode. - ace
*	Will now ask for away System configuration values upon setting away for the first time. Sorry for the problems with this in 3.1. - ace
*	Preparing for 3.2 release.

Version 3.3Iraq
1/15/2005
*	Added menu options "Enable Speech for $active" and "Disable Speech for $active" corresponding with SF5 and SF6.  Trying to stick to the standard of having everything in the menus as well as on the keyboard.
*	Added /ctcp nickname speech command for other users to check whether your speech is enabled or disabled.
*	Says Thea correctly.

1/22/2005
*	No longer sets +i on connect; was confusing Freedom Chat users.

1/23/2005
*	Added a script which allows one to privately chat with a Freedom Chat user.

*	Fixed anick bug.

*	Applied EasyMP3 patch from mo to fix a problem.

1/29/2005
*	No longer closes query window when a FC user ends the private conversation.
	This could often cause private text to go to the channel accidentally.

3/27/2005
*	Now says Cyndi correctly.
*	Now says exaggeration correctly.

4/2/2005
*	Coded the History Review system in script14.ini. Allows for self-voicing review of the last (up to) 100 messages spoken. To activate this feature, press Control+F3. (fmillion)
*	Fixed bug with speech rate when using Eloquence. (Speech rate can now be set up to 1000; was previously limited to 250.) (fmillion)
*	Modified the /speak command to include the -x switch, which speaks text *without* adding it to the review buffer. This switch itself is used when reviewing the history so as to allow the lines to be spoken without them being repeatedly added to the buffer. (fmillion)

4/3/2005
*	Coded the /readmotd command. Runs on top of the history review code; allows for self-voiced reading of the MOTD. (fmillion)

4/4/2005
*	Updated the /names speech to speak the operator status of nicks in the channel. (example: founder ace, operator mo) (fmillion)
*	Added commas to the /names command so the names are more easily heard as separate nicknames.

4/5/2005
*	Modified the on input event so that, when you type in a query window, it will speak to whom you are sending the message. (example: fmillion query to ace says, hello)

4/19/2005

*	Added Freedom Chat style invite capability. If you're invited to a room, you can type /accept to automatically join the room to which you were invited.

4/28/2005
*	Says AmericaSweetheart properly.

*	Speech Parameters option under Main -> Speech Control

* Bug fix: /smsg will no longer send data to a disconnected network window.
* tIRC no longer unloads agent, it simply changes the state of the %speech variable.
* Removed punctuation command from tIRC; it was causing problems. Who the fuck would use that on IRC anyways?
* When disabling speech, tIRC doesn't check if you are using Agent, Window-eyes or JAWS. That was rather pointless anyways.
