Purge a lot of really old and obsolete documents, and merge some together where possible. Lots of efnet docs and the old ircd-ratbox manpage (lol) was purged. Reorganise everything nice and neatly as possible. Things describing features can be found in features/, and some more technical documents were moved to techinical/. Old credits file was consolidated into credits-past.txt, and a reference was added to it in the credits.

|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
Contributions for the 2.8 release from the following people:
|
||

|
||
Chuck Kane <ckane@ece.uiuc.edu>
|
||
Matt Lyle <matt@oc.com>
|
||
Vesa Ruokonen <ruokonen@lut.fi>
|
||
|
||
Markku Savela <Markku.Savela@vtt.fi> / April 1990
|
||
Fixed various bugs in 2.2PL1 release server (2.2msa.4) and changed
|
||
sockets to use non-blocking mode (2.2msa.9). [I have absolutely
|
||
nothing to do with clients :-]
|
||
|
||
Chelsea Ashley Dyerman <chelsea@earth.cchem.berkeley.edu> / April 1990
|
||
Rewrote the Makefiles, restructuring of source tree. Added libIrcd.a to
|
||
the Makefile macros, numerous reformatting of server text messages, and
|
||
added mkversion.sh to keep track of compilation statistics. Numerous
|
||
bug fixes and enhancements, and co-coordinator of the 2.4 release.
|
||
|
||
jarlek@ifi.uio.no added mail functions to irc.
|
||
|
||
Armin Gruner <gruner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> / May, June 1990:
|
||
* Patched KILL-line feature for ircd.conf, works now.
|
||
Enhancement: Time intervals can be specified in passwd-field.
|
||
Result: KILL-Line is only active during these intervals
|
||
* Patched PRIVMSG handling, now OPER can specify masks for sending
|
||
private messages, advantage: msg to all at a specified server or host.
|
||
* Little tests on irc 2.5 alpha, fixed some little typos in client code.
|
||
Change: common/debug.c has been moved to ircd/s_debug.c, and a
|
||
irc/c_debug.c has been created, for the benefit that wrong server msg
|
||
are displayed if client does not recognize them. (strange, if a server
|
||
sends an 'unknown command', isn't it?)
|
||
|
||
Tom Hopkins <hoppie@buengf.bu.edu> / September, October 1990:
|
||
* Patched msa's K lines for servers (Q lines).
|
||
* Consolidated several patches, including Stealth's logging patch.
|
||
* Fixed several minor bugs.
|
||
* Has done lots of other stuff that I can't seem to remember, but he
|
||
always works on code, so he has to have done alot more than three
|
||
lines worth. :)
|
||
|
||
Thanks go to those persons not mentioned here who have added their advice,
|
||
opinions, and code to IRC.
