It has been 6 months since the last announced release, epic5-0.0.5. This release is available at
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-ALPHA/epic5-0.0.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-ALPHA/epic5-0.0.7.tar.bz2 http://ftp.prbh.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-ALPHA/epic5-0.0.7.tar.gz http://ftp.prbh.org/pub/epic/EPIC5-ALPHA/epic5-0.0.7.tar.bz2 Any attempt to describe all the changes in the past 6 months would be woefully inefficient, so you should refer to the UPDATES file, and to the KNOWNBUGS file for the most gory details. Here is a (very) brief summary of the most noteworthy changes: Changes in 0.0.6: * New math parser now default, use /SET OLD_MATH_PARSER ON to go back * /SET -CREATE removed (use /addset) * /ON LEAVE changed to /ON PART * Nicknames rejections are handled by a script now * Server names without ports hunt for the first server, not port 6667 * Your startup script is loaded immediately at startup (as if you used -B) * A bunch of /set's have been re-implemented as scripts * /TIMER has been refactored and behaves more consistently. * Nickname fudging is now handled by a script * About 40 old (obsolete) scripts are removed * Case insensitive string compares now done in C way, not the irc way. * The === and !== operators in the new math parser do case sensitive compares. * /EXEC -OUT dumps to your current target (channel or query) and not just chan Changes in 0.0.7: * Asynchronous dns lookups for server connections. * A new set, /set display_mangle replaces 15 (removed) /sets * Removal of support for 7 bit only terminals (8 bit terminals required now) * All new unified string mangler/normalizer ($stripcrap(), /set display_mangle) * Automatic scrollback rebreaking when window size changes. * Highlight ignores now handled by a script * Experimental support for sending files > 2gb over dcc.
