****** PLEASE READ!!!!! ****** tIRC3.8Ralph Release Notes 1st October 2005 ace fmillion mo Welcome to tIRC3.8Ralph! As you can see, this version of tIRC was named after another leet person named Ralph. Unfortunately, this release isn't quite as large as the last one. We are trying to kill off the 3.x releases in order to set the slate for version 4.0. School started a month ago, so don't expect much from me. This is definitely the last release of the 3.x series, unless anyone finds something extremely crippling that needs fixed immediately. If this is the case, please report it to one of us as always. It is now possible to use the 'Minimize option under the System menu to put mIRC in the system tray. HINT: You might want to fully disable your speech before doing this. That way, you can hide mIRC completely without actually closing it. You will remain connected; the program will sit in the system tray. Don't forget it is there! The topic command (ctrl+F5) has been cleaned up a bit. The /ctcp GI command has been greatly enhanced. It is now possible to also perform this command on users of the FC client. Cleaned up some bugs in the MP3 player--see changelog entry below. If you are on a network with a bunch of sighted users bitching about your speech status messages, you may now use /sp_status on|off to toggle these. First, bitch at them about their away scripts and annoying ASCII art or just tell them to shut the fuck up. Of course, it is useful on networks, like FC, where the users are used to seeing it. Now, they won't know whether you are there or not. :) The information report (obtained by pressing shift+F3) has been modified a bit. I am aware of the fact that it contains a few glaring bugs. Try opening two status windows without connecting them to servers and pressing it in one of them. Yes, I know they are there but they are minor; please refrain from reporting about them. The reload command (F2) is gone. It was rarely ever needed and we freed up some space by eliminating it. The below changelog entry will have more information as usual. tIRC3.8Ralph 7/21/2005 * Now, it is possible to use "Minimise" under the System menu to put the program in the system tray. Hide it completely but still idle by first disabling speech then minimising to the system tray. 7/25/2005 * Ctrl+F5 now says "There is no topic on this channel." if there isn't one instead of saying nothing. * Now says "$nick has cleared the topic." instead of "$nick has changed to topic to:" if they change it. 7/27/2005 * Updated help messages. 7/29/2005 * /ctcp nickname GI now works with FC users. 9/24/2005 * Again fixed bug of MP3s being echoed to the channel if speech is disabled. * Came up with a quick fix to show all media files in the MP3 player; shows other file types, though. Might just redo this system sometime. * IT is now possible to use /sp_status on|off to determine whether speech status messages should be displayed publically or not. Shut up sighties. 10/1/2005 * SF3 report will now return the speech engine currently in use. * Made SF3 information report cleaner and easier to read. I know it has bugs; don't tell me. They'ré nothing major. * Removed F2 reload command. Agent rarely crashes anymore. Got rid of 27 lines of code. * Wrote Readme file and preparing for 3.8 release... Thanks for upgrading to this small but yet important release. -ace
