    _____________________________________________________________________

1.6.21 (October 25, 2011):

  - Added missing read trace flag to the nick-len variable trace after
    being unset to make the trace be removed properly on unload.
    Found by: Dopsy / Patch by: pseudo

  # RC1 released on October 3rd, 2011.

  - Updated instructions for compilation under Cygwin. Updated space
    requirements a bit.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed an ancient bug resulting in sending uninitialized strings when
    sharing bot addresses.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Altered the permission check on the pls/mns ban/exempt/invite commands
    from USER_MASTER to USER_OP to allow global operators to set global bans.
    Patch by: pjb

  - Made dcc_telnet_new() allow non-latin characters in new handles like other
    handle validation functions.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Removed -mwin32 on Windows. It's no longer necessary and causes problems
    with Cygwin 1.7.
    Patch by: Kirben, pseudo

  - Moved variable declarations to conform to C89 (beginning of blocks only).
    Found by: Anon-e-mouse / Patch by: thommey

  - Documented a .+ban/+exempt/+invite feature allowing to make the hostmask
    sticky by prefixing the comment with '*'.
    Found by: Robby / Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed statuslog documentation.
    Found by: ziplock / Patch by: pseudo

  - Removed the unrecognized options warning when configuring modules.
  - Modified -v output and .status display configure options.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Made some corrections to the contributors list, removed a duplicate entry.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed bind cron html documention to be in sync with non-html one.
    Found by: 64MAAMVDH / Patch by: thommey

  - Fixed a bug in the mainloop for Tcl threads which is now
    also being used as vwait/update recursion mainloop.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Removed debug output accidentally checked in.
    Found by: DJStomp / Patch by: thommey

  - Fixed a typo in the html documentation.
    Found by: Johannes13 / Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed the .match command help.
    Fixes Trac Bug #85 "dcc match command documentation"
    Found by: jack3 / Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed a bug in the backported dns-settings patch where dns_change()
    would call iptostr() with inappropriate argument.
    Fixes Trac Bug #87 "dns-servers setting on 1.6 filled with garbage if
    not set"
    Found by: thommey / Patch by: pseudo

  - Partially revert changes to vwait/update. They are back to only
    processing Tcl events for now (fileevent/after) as handling eggdrop
    events turned out to require careful examination of reentrance issues.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Ran autotools.
  - More AC_LANG_* usage.
  - Work around Tcl8.5.10 bug 3371644 (strings starting with # could crash
    in Tcl_ConvertElement()). TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH can be used to work
    around it, as long as the string is not passed to Tcl_Eval().
    Found by: Austin
  - Use the autoconf macros AC_LANG_PROGRAM/AC_LANG_SOURCE for sourcecode
    to avoid warnings in autoconf >= 2.68.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Make sure to account for null termination when using Tcl_ScanElement
    to generate a string representation of a list using Tcl_ConvertElement.
    A behavioural change in Tcl8.5.10 revealed this bug.
    Found by: various / Patch by: thommey

  - Fixed reentrance issues with the replacement Tcl notifier. It is now safe
    for dns callbacks to call vwait/update. Execution of Tcl snippets in do_tcl
    is now asynchronous and actually performed at the end of mainloop().
    Found by: Ratler, various / Patch by: thommey

  - do_restart is now reset before actually performing a rehash or restart to
    ensure it doesn't try to do it again infinitely.
    Found by: Domino / Patch by: thommey

  - Clarified --with-tcl* usage in configure and mentioned tcl-dev packages.
  - Fixed some section numbering in doc/COMPILE-GUIDE.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Fix env(TZ) config setting to not contain a space. The space is just
    inserted in POSIX documentation to clarify, it must not be there.
    Found by: Digdilem / Patch by: thommey

  - Added detection of Tcl_NotifierProcs members to ensure the notifier can
    be replaced. Fixes compilation against Tcl 8.2 and 8.3.
    Found by: AlIt0 / Patch by: thommey

  - Fixed getudef() to return intptr_t instead of int to prevent crashes on
    64-bit systems.
    Found by: izy` / Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed dns.mod on QNX6/Mac OS X/Solaris
  - Rewrote dns.mod's autoconf checks to detect the resolver library properly
    on Darwin/Solaris.
  - Added -lsocket to the list of libraries searched for res_* functions, in
    order to support QNX6.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Replaced most dns.mod preprocessor definitions with config variables.
  - Added support for user-specified dns servers and non-standard ports.
    This is most important for Cygwin 1.7, where the dns server list won't
    get initialized under some common conditions.
  - Added a trace to the new variable dns-servers, allowing scripts to get
    or set the current dns server list.
  - Added the servers list to the dns module information displayed by
    .status all
    Patch by: pseudo


1.6.20 (July 23, 2010):

  # RC2 released on July 15th, 2010.

  - Add sanity check to check-stoned event. Prevents eggdrop from
    disconnecting in case of drift timers.
  - Unwind all nested [vwait] calls before performing a restart.
    Prevents Tcl_Panic() when deleting active interpreter.
  - Make sure traces are looked up in the global scope.
  - Give eggdrop events priority over Tcl events so they can't starve it.
    Found by: CyBex / Patch by: thommey

  - Fixed a problem with channels added in the config getting deleted after
    the config is loaded.
  - The chanfile is now saved before and after rehash instead of being
    reloaded after.
    Found by: CyBex, thommey / Patch by: thommey, pseudo

  - Added mod-transfer.html to index.html
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Make sure tickle_WaitForEvent returns 1 when anything was done. This
    was not done if Tcl socket handlers were called. It is required to make
    Tcl_DoOneEvent() break out of its loop for vwait.
  - Don't use Tcl_SetServiceMode(), Tcl handles that.
    Found by: CyBex, horgh / Patch by: thommey

  - Added log_ts to the modules function table to keep modules relying on
    the old LOG_TS #define working.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Restore socket_cleanup functionality, was broken by the notifier patch.
  - Fixed detection of eggdrop already running on startup.
    Found by: CyBex / Patch by: thommey

  - Changed the URL of gseen.mod in docs.
  - Fixed a minor problem with special dcc handles like (telnet), (dns), etc.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Added a -raw argument to tcl_putdcc().
  - Modified putdccraw in compat.tcl to use putdcc -raw.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Added few contributors to the THANKS file.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Ran misc/killwhitespace and misc/runautotools
  - Prevent uninitialized memory access that became visible due to the
    notifier overwrite. Use memmove when strcpy targets overlap.
  - Overwrite the Tcl notifier with our own version of it if possible.
    Integrates Tcl events and sockets into our own eventloop and socketlist,
    causing Tcl events happen without delay. It is thread-aware.
  - If the Tcl notifier is overwritten, don't fork() before initializing
    Tcl anymore. This used to be required to prevent hangs on startup.
  - Replace the constant max-dcc upper limit with a dynamically enlarging
    array that increases up to a new setting called max-socks. max-socks
    also limits the number of Tcl socket connections (per thread).
  - Added two configure checks against the Tcl library to check if it's
    possible to replace the notifier.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Modified compat.tcl version of time to allow accessing Tcl's time
    command if any arguments are passed to it.
    Patch by: Pixelz

  - Removed root uid check when compiled on Cygwin, as it was reported to
    cause problems for some cygwin installations, while it doesn't provide
    any protection, as administrator accounts appear as non-zero uids anyway.
    Found by: FireEgl / Patch by: pseudo

  - Channels added in the config are no longer static. Added access to the
    static flag via new channel setting, available to permanent owners only.
  - Removed the example channel adds from eggdrop.conf.
    Patch by: pseudo

    string match.
    Found by: thommey / Patch by: pseudo

  - Modified the uptime module to send packets at a random interval, with
    per-second resolution, to reduce the peak traffic and load on the uptime
    server.
    Patch by: grnbrg

  - Added a configure option to set the handlen while keeping compatibility with
    the older method of editing eggdrop.h directly.
  - Added a configure option to enable dns debugging and made it default for
    make debug.
  - Removed obsolete check for broken sscanf from configure.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Added missing mod-transfer.html
    Patch by: mike.ds

    Found by: soraver / Patch by: pseudo

  - Got rid of some compile warnings related to passing possibly signed chars
    to tolower().
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Changed the definition of the 'Function' type to avoid data loss with
    functions returning 64-bit types. 64-bit builds will no longer crash due
    to pointers being truncated to 32 bits. Created new function pointer type
    'IntFunc' for use only with functions returning int.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 485 "64-bit eggdrop builds crash on some systems"
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed a minor notes.mod formatting bug when displaying dcc usage.
    Found by: Johannes13 / Patch by: thommey

  - Renamed list_delete/list_append/list_contains functions to egg_list_* due
    to request to avoid conflicts with MySQL headers.
    Found by: BarkerJr / Patch by: pseudo

  - Updated module versions and dependencies for the console, channels, irc
    and server modules.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Don't assume cidr notation for hostmasks with slashes, unless the string
    portion after the slash consists only of digits.
    Found by: simple / Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed the STRIP_ALL flag used with strip_mirc_codes() to actually work.
    Found by: T3256 / Patch by: pseudo

    macros with EGG_TCL_CHECK_GETCURRENTTHREAD.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Fixed a bug in fixfrom(), breaking userhost matching.
    Found by: Tothwolf, thommey
  - Fixed a bug in telnet autodetection, which prevented cvs bots from linking
    reliably with bots running older versions.
    Found by: FireEgl, Tothwolf
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Replaced the LOG_TS definition with a config variable "timestamp-format",
    defaulting to "[%H:%M:%S]".
  - Added support for silent backups and logfile switching with higher
    quiet-save values.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Moved strict-host documentation to the core section, where it belongs and
    added a warning to discourage it's usage in the future.
  - Rewrote fixfrom() to not modify it's string argument.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 423 "Enforcement of Non-matching Bans"
    Found by: BarkerJr / Patch by: pseudo

  - Added CIDR support to eggdrop. This includes accepting and matching b/e/I
    masks and user hosts in cidr notation.
  - Moved rfc_toupper from wild_match() to the new addr_match().
  - Added two new Tcl commands - matchaddr and matchcidr to provide interface
    to the new internal host matching.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Changed GetInt / GetIntFromObj's Tcl_Interp argument to NULL in
    tcl_resultint() to avoid an unneeded error message being stored in the
    interp result.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Modified various checks to allow non-latin characters in handles. Added
    missing checks to tcl_adduser() and tcl_chhand().

    telnet codes from bots. Reworked telnet handlers to properly understand
    and escape character 0xff in data.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 419 "droped chars when sharing"
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Various minor docfixes.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Updated copyright dates.

    language files. Added support for lines of unlimited size.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Moved console flags validation from cmd_console() to a separate function
    check_conflags().
  - Added calls to check_dcc_attrs() / check_dcc_chanattrs in tcl_chattr()
    to make the behaviour consistent between all chattr functions.
  - Added calls to check_conflags() in check_dcc_attrs/check_dcc_chanattrs()
    and chon_console() in order to ensure users will not retain privileged
    console flags if their access gets downgraded.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 133 ".chattr / .console bug"
    Found by: DarkReap1 / Patch by: pseudo

  - Introduced new config variable allow-ps to allow chanmode optionally
    enforce both +ps at the same time.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 414  "channel modes +s and +p on ts5 network" 
    Found by: Ofloo / Patch by: pseudo

  - Modified reset_chan_info() to support independent reset of various
    information through flags. Updated tcl_resetchan() to make use of this.
  - Removed redundant TOPIC requests and optimized the channel join/reset code
    to ask for b/e/I modes in one message.
  - Added safety checks after some mode bind triggers to avoid accessing freed
    memory and not up-to-date flag records.
  - Added two new Tcl commands: resetchanidle and resetchanjoin.
  - Modified the channel reset logic to perform live updates on the member list
    without deleting and readding members. Channel mode changes with the bot as
    a target now trigger mode binds without initial blind delays during channel
    join/reset.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 385 "MODE - bug, when bot just joined the chan"
    Found by: gernot@rockstarvienna.com / Patch by: pseudo

  - Modified build_flags() to not repeat global bot flags when both bot
    and chan flags are requested.

    incorrectly"
    Found by: Pixelz / Patch by: pseudo

    even when a server name is supplied."
    Found by: dan@dannet.org / Patch by: pseudo

  - Added a msg-rate config variable, to replace the current #define msgrate
    in server.mod.
  - Added new command [putnow] for bypassing the queueing system to be used
    instead of [putdccraw]. Equivalent to [putserv noqueue] in eggdrop 1.9.
    Patch by: pseudo

  - Fixed a reversed pointer check in join_notes().
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 455 "Possible segment violation in join_notes"
    Found by: NML_375 / Patch by: pseudo

    Reference: Secunia Advisory: SA35104
    Reference: CVE-2009-1789
    Patch by: thommey

  - Added scripts/dccwhois.tcl Tcl script. This script enhances the built-in
    dcc '.whois' command to allow all users to '.whois' their own handle.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Reverted "Allow any user to .whois their own handle." 1.6.16 changes. 
    These changes broke '.whois' behavior in that previously a global op or
    channel op had full access to '.whois'. After the changes only a global
    op or channel master could use '.whois' on other handles. The hard
    coded access flag checks also made it impossible to rebind the '.whois'
    command with different access flags.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Removed 'Maintainer:' hacks from the doc/Changes files. Switched to
    using '# Released by:' and '# Patch by:' for processing now.

    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Fixed even more typos and other errors in the doc/Changes files.
  - Greatly expanded the 1.1alpha sections in Changes1.1 and Versions.
  - The 1.1alpha+lincoln and 1.1alpha+grant entries were reversed and
    mislabeled in Changes1.1.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Fixed tons of typos and formatting problems in the doc/Changes files.
  - Corrected and unified lots of duplicate contributor names; Robey used
    lowercase names in earlier versions and Beldin tended to use camel case.
  - These changes will allow for semi-automated processing of the
    doc/Changes files to build a much more complete contributors list.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Refactored channels_report() and simplified the channel status
    information for the .status command.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Added support for irc numeric 465 ERR_YOUREBANNEDCREEP so a server ban
    reason (for a Kline, Gline, etc) can be seen and logged.
    Found by: Tothwolf / Patch by: bryand, Tothwolf

    BADARGS instead of 999.
  - Changed FLGS to FLAGS in tell_binds() for .binds command output.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Modified tell_user() to use YYYY-MM-DD ISO 8601 date format. This
    corrects the LAST date shown for the .whois and .match commands.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 470 "Dates in Whois/Match Don't Show Years"
    Found by: BarkerJr / Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Added .vbottree command help section to cmds2.help.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 464 ".help vbottree not working"
    Found by: Wanderer / Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Fixed global variable names used with Tcl_SetVar() / Tcl_VarEval() --
  - Made assoc module use $_chan instead of $chan
  - Made tell_user() use $_user instead of $user
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Moved the variable declaration for tcl_maskhost() to the top of the
    function where it should be. The tcl_maskhost patch prevented
    tcl_maskhost() from compiling with many non-GCC and older GCC compilers.
    Found by: simple / Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Removed Solaris RANDMAX autoconf hack.
  - Added proper preprocessor checks for RANDOM_MAX and RAND_MAX.
  - Added autoconf tests and preprocessor checks for rand() and lrand48().
  - Simplified randint macro to make it faster.
  - Added argument sanity checking for tcl_rand() / Tcl [rand] command.
  - Added min:max value sanity checking in irc.mod set_delay(). This should
    match the aop-delay behavior documented in eggdrop.conf now.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - More minor autoconf changes.
  - Context and ContextNote should use 'do {} while (0)' instead of '{}'.
  - Put Context init code into an #ifdef DEBUG_CONTEXT block.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Updated doc/Versions and added more milestone information.
  - Misc doc updates and fixes.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Added doc/Changes* files created from all the various UPDATES* files
    that were available. Change history after 0.7d (April 11, 1994) to 0.9
    (July 23, 1994) seems to have been lost but it may eventually be located.
  - Added doc/Versions file that contains a list of Eggdrop versions,
    release dates, and other important notes in reverse chronological order.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Require autoconf 2.60 now.

  - Removed double quoting "`command`" in autoconf macro tests.
  - Changed autoconf macro 'test ! foo = bar' tests to 'test foo != bar'. 
    Both are portable but '!=' is now more common in autoconf macros and is
    easier to read.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Fixed EGG_PROG_HEAD_1 autoconf macro cache checking. You can't use
    AC_MSG_RESULT() within AC_CACHE_VAL().
  - Moved --enable-strip configure check from EGG_PROG_STRIP to its own
    macro: EGG_ENABLE_STRIP()
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Bot would send 'JOIN #chan ' to the server with trailing whitespace
    when joining channels that didn't require a key.
    Found by: simple / Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Make check_expired_chanstuff() use DP_SERVER instead of DP_MODE for JOIN.
    Found by: simple / Patch by: thommey

  - Refactored reset_chan_info() to make it a little easier on maintainers.
  - Removed a useless '\r' from the dprintf() TOPIC check in
    reset_chan_info(). This was from the "Request topic on channel reset"
    patch in 1.6.18, which re-added the TOPIC check that someone
    needlessly removed in 1.6.7.
  - got_halfop() was improperly checking !me_op() to see if it should call
    recheck_channel(). Now it checks !me_halfop() in addition to !me_op()
  - Removed duplicate code in got_deop() for hidden +v / +h checking.
    No need to duplicate the entire test, just add 'CHANHALFOP'.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Set CHAN_PEND when calling refresh_who_chan() to avoid possibly sending
    extra WHO requests to the server if a WHO was already sent.
    Found by: Tothwolf / Patch by: thommey

  - Always send a "WHO chname" instead of sending a "WHO nick" which doesn't
    have the same behaviour across all irc daemons.
  - Improved use_354 support as we weren't using it everywhere we could.
    Patch by: thommey

  - Minor documentation updates
    Patch by: skiidoo

  - Updated exec magic tricks in the autobotchk and weed scripts.
  - Check for a working 'grep -E' before resorting to 'egrep'.
  - Use "$0" ${1+"$@"} in place of "$0" "$@" to avoid problems with broken
    sh implementations that expand "$@" into a single empty argument when
    there are no other arguments.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Make custom configure warning messages' prefix match AC_MSG_WARN.
  - Fixed broken EGG_TCL_CHECK_HEADER macro Tcl header 'not found' message.
  - Don't use "${var-x}" in place of "x$var". The use of "x$var" is more
    portable and standard practice in autoconf macros.
  - Added AC_CANONICAL_* macros to EGG_OS_VERSION in preparation to move
    from our old 'uname -s' and 'uname -r' hacks to a canonical triplet.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Completely rewrote EGG_TCL_CHECK_THREADS autoconf macro to make the
    --enable-tcl-threads and --disable-tcl-threads threaded Tcl library
    configure options more robust.
  - Fixed --enable-tcl-threads configure option so it will enable threaded
    Tcl library support even if we don't autodetect a threaded Tcl library.
  - Explicitly offer both --enable-tcl-threads and --disable-tcl-threads
    configure options that can forcefully enable or disable threaded Tcl
    library support. Previously either worked but only showing
    --disable-tcl-threads in --help could be confusing.
  - Added code to print an explicit message to show if threaded Tcl library
    support will be enabled or not.
  - We no longer link against pthread library unless threaded Tcl library
    support is enabled.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Added argument checking to randstring proc in alltools.tcl to make it a
    little more robust.

    Found by: alex323 / Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Completely rewrote check_tcl_bind().
  - Added inline check_bind_flags() for flag checking for check_tcl_bind().

  - Fixed misc typos.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Added support to MSGM, PUBM, NOTC, and WALL binds to support bound procs
    returning 1 to prevent logging of the trigger message text.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 334 "msgm bind return values"
  - Added BIND_STACKRET bit mask and support for stacked bind return values
    to check_tcl_bind(). This allows check_tcl_bind() to check if any
    stacked bound procs return 1 while allowing all matching stacked binds
    to be processed. Previously if BIND_WANTRET was used to check the return
    value of stacked binds, only the first match would be triggered.
  - Modified irc.mod gotmsg() function to trigger PUBM binds before
    triggering PUB binds. MSGM and MSG binds already worked this way.
  - Modified irc.mod gotmsg() function to allow a message to trigger both
    PUBM and PUB binds. Previously if a message triggered a PUB bind, any
    PUBM binds that might match the message text would not be triggered.
    Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 351 "bind pub hogs pubm"
  - Added exclusive-binds setting and code to gotmsg() functions to allow
    MSGM and PUBM binds to be exclusive of MSG and PUB binds.
  - Fixed logging for WALL bind. It had been broken since it was originally
    implemented in eggdrop-hayes. Wallops messages were always logged
    regardless of the return value of a bound proc. Returning '1' from a
    bound proc now causes Eggdrop to not log the Wallops message.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Check for Tcl 8.5 before older versions.
    Patch by: Tothwolf

  - Use flagrec_eq() instead of flagrec_ok() in help_subst()

    and detect_chan_flood().
