This required a lot of -code to be rewritten and I must say that we have suffered it a bit. But now -it's done and Qt4 is a great framework to base KVIrc on, far better than Qt3. - -Notable new features of this release include: - -- Definitive and stable port to the Qt4 libraries -- A brand new build system based on CMake (no more ./configure) -- Better support for server tecnologies: CAPS, STARTTLS, SASL, irc services... -- A new UPnP module to control and remotely map your router ports for DCC -- A totally rewritten MDI subsystem, with the look and feel of your OS -- A nice graphical addon packager -- A visual class editor for object oriented scripting -- A rewritten iograph module to check your bandwidth usage -- Support for animated avatars -- Ability to get other user's avatars/information without the need to - CTCP the whole channel -- Support for DBus inter-process communication -- Support for the MPRIS media player control and info reporting -- Support for Phonon direct media playback -- Improved platform compatibility for KDE4, MacOSX, Seven etc... -- A lot of new options to better customize your client -- A lot of new KVS commands and functions for your scripting needs -- Tons of bug fixes, more than 500 only from the bugtracker -- A better documentation of the code for those who like to give a look at it. -- Months of testing and fixing to assure you an optimal IRC experience ;) -_ ... - -Again a lot of people contributed to this release.

If nothing helps to solve your problem -then you might consider issuing a bug report. - -The best way to report a bug is to use the bugtrack system at -https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues/. Another way is to subscribe -to the kvirc mailing list (see http://www.kvirc.net for instructions) -and report the problem there. In both cases your bug report -should be written in english and should contain most information -possible about the problem. If you have encountered a crash -on an unix platform you should include a gdb backtrace (stack dump). -The more gdb info you send, the biggest is the possibility for us -to find the problem and maybe a solution. There is a FAQ entry -that explains how to produce a suitable gdb backtrace. -If you can't obtain a gdb backtrace (maybe because you're on -a platform where gdb is not available) or if the problem -is not related to a program crash then you should include -a detailed procedure that leads to the manifestation of your problem. -You should always include a short description of the platform you -are running on: the operating system, the cpu (if not an x86), -the version of the Qt library and the KDE environment (if relevant). -You should also mention the relevant version of KVIrc and where -you got it from (svn, kvirc site, other sites). - - - - - - - - -############################################################################### -# Historic entries : just for the curious -############################################################################### - -15 October 2008: Release 3.4.2 "Shiny" -############################################################################### - -Here we go with another release :) - -In march we said that 3.4.0 was the last release of the 3.* but we've found -that a little update wasn't going to hurt while the mainstream 4.* is being -worked out. Technically this is a mainly bugfix release: there are no major -new features inside. Some annoying 3.4.0 bugs were wiped out, some docs were -updated and we'll hopefully have a more stable windows binary. - -If you're using 3.4.0 (or some older version) then you're strongly encouraged -to upgrade. - -Have fun :) -Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team - - - - - -23.03.2008: Release 3.4.0 "Virgo" -############################################################################### - -Here we go with another release :) - -This one took a very long time but, well, finally it's here. - -Notable new features of this release include: - - - improved themeing support - - better desktop integration - - nicer support for many different IRC servers - - a totally revised option layout - - basic support for script "addons" - - improved help subsystem - - new nice statusbar applets - - improved scripting engine - - improved windows and macosx support - - .... - -There is also a lot of small new details that you will -find out by yourself while playing around and finally -we obviously also have a huge number of bugfixes. - -This will be the last stable release of the 3.* series and also the last -one using Qt3. From now on we'll be working on major version 4 and -switching completely to Qt4. This release actually contains a preliminary -Qt4 support and if you feel brave you might test it by passing -the "hidden" --enable-qt swtich to configure. - -Have fun :) -Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team - - - - - -22.02.2005: Release 3.2.0 "Realia" -############################################################################### - -Here we go again: 3.2.0 is out! - -The long road to stability has reached an important milestone. The previous -releases of the 3.* series were the first ones after a huge codebase rewrite. -3.2.0 is a result of several months of testing, debugging and improving. -You will surely find it more stable, fast and user friendly. - -The old scripting toolbars have been replaced by the new "action" based -approach. Besides the scripting flexibility of the actions we have also -gained "drag & drop" toolbar editing. Just select "Settings -> Toolbars --> Customize" from the menu and drag your favorite actions (buttons!) to the -toolbars you wish. You can obviously create new toolbars on the fly and destroy -old ones. There is a set of builtin actions and new ones can be added -by the means of the action editor (another new feature) accessible from -the Scripting menu. Play with it :) - -The UNICODE support has been improved yet more. Now you can set global, -per-network, per-server and per-window encodings! There is also a new -set of "smart" encoding engines that first try to decode the text as UTF8 -and in case of failure fallback to your standard encoding. - -The translators did a really good (and hard) job: we actually have KVIrc -translated in 14 languages. I'm really happy about that. - -There is a new nice Instant-Messager-like notifier window that pops up when -a query message arrives and KVIrc is not the active application. Yes, -you can disable it, but I'm sure you will not. The notifier is also fully -scriptable and we're working on a simple skinning engine for it. - -We also have perl support: now you can use perl from KVS and -KVS from perl. The engine is still quite essential but with some hacking -you can obtain really good results from it. - -The small IRC-Context-Display has been removed from the toolbar and has been -replaced by a real status bar that is capable of displaying the same -information in a much cleaner way. The IRC-Context-Display is still -available as an action so you can just drag it back in its place -and hide the status bar to return to the previous release configuration. -The statusbar also supports applets that can be added/dragged/removed by the -means of the mouse: just try the right click. - -The scripting engine has been improved and there are several new object -classes. An interesting new feature here is the $tr() function that allows -your scripts to be translated with the standard gettext mechanism. The -widely requested DCOP communication function has been implemented too. - -Out-of-the-box mircryption support has been added. The KVIrc's mircryption -engine supports the standard ECB mode and the new CBC mode - -The DCC transfers have been improved and seveal related bugs have been -fixed. It is also possible to limit the bandwidth for each transfer. - -There is a lot of minor new features that will make your IRC sessions funnier -and more exciting: some of them are described in the ChangeLog file and -other can be found by exploring the user interface. - -The small one-man-project has grown to the level of a small community. -People from around the world have joined our development efforts and are -constantly donating their time, eyes and bandwidth in order to make KVIrc -a really good IRC client. Besides of simply giving you a free (as in freedom!) -and nice program for chatting, they are giving you the great opportunity to see -what's behind the scenes: you have the source code for the whole application. -In practical terms this means more or less 300.000 lines of tested, debugged and -commented C++ code, several perl scripts, dozens of makefiles and all the means -that you need to produce a working KVIrc executable on all the supported platforms. -There is a lot of knowledge (some people call it "technology" because it sells better) -inside, ready to be acquired by an attentive reader. Don't forget that the freedom of -building your own executable from the sources gives you the opportunity -of verifying the source itself: for example you might be interested in verifying -that KVIrc will not run any malware code on your machine nor will collect -your private data and sell it to someone while you're happily chatting with a friend. -We call it freedom, please respect it :) - -Our community is contantly growing and this release was possible thanks to the -contribution of really many people. There are new mighty developers, new addicted -fans and we have seen a lot of new users. The list of the major contributors -can be found on the KVIrc site, in the about dialog and all around the sources. -If you want to meet them please join the #kvirc channel on your favorite -IRC network or subscribe to our mailing list. - -Ah, I was going to forget it: you might have noticed that there is -a version bump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.0. It's a typo that we arbitrairly -decided not to fix :) - -Have fun :) -Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team - - - - -31.05.2004: Release 3.0.1 "System Virtue" -############################################################################### - -Here we go again: 3.0.1 is out! - -3.0.1 is mainly a bugfix release. 3.0.0 was the first public release -after long time and even if we have tested it for a very long time -some bugs didn't miss to jump out. 3.0.1 contains the fixes for these -problems and adds some minor functionality. The detailed list of -changes is in the ChangeLog file. - -The bugs for this release should be reported by using the bugtrack system available -at http://bugtrack.kvirc.omnikron.net - -Have fun :) -Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team - - -17.04.2004: Release 3.0.0 "Awakening" -############################################################################### - -After a couple of years from the last stable release, here we go again :) - -Since the 2.* releases the KVIrc source code has been almost completely -rewritten.

+
+After some years and a couple of alpha releases we have a beta.
+Well.. it's marked "beta" but you'll probably find it pretty much stable.
+Several people have worked on the codebase and ultimately on this release.

+
+
+01.07.2012: Release 4.2.0 "Equilibrium"
+###############################################################################
+
+Finally, a new major milestone version of KVIrc is released!
+
+Two years has passed since the original KVIrc 4 release. While the original
+4.0 code was put in maintenance mode, a lot of time has been dedicated to merge
+new features inside KVIrc. Today we present the result of this development.
+
+Support for new os/architectures:
+ - Mac OSX support, clang support
+ - 64-bit Windows support
+ - improved FreeBSD integration
+ - even an esperimental OS/2 patch is available
+
+More scripting power:
+ - the interface to the popup subsystem has been rewritten: the new popup module
+ - a new interface to the userlist: the userlist module
+ - a new webView class that embeds a webkit
+ - improved SQL classes
+ - a new trayicon KVS class
+ - added a default script manager to restore default scripts without overwriting
+ custom user scripts
+ - lots of new functions: $file.time(), $insideAlias(), $log.export(),
+ $file.diskspace(), $isBot(), $gender(), $context.connectionStartTime,
+ $context.lastMessageTime, $listtimers(), $window.isDocked, $aliasBody(),
+ $file.readBytes(), $file.writeBytes(), window.savePropertiesAsDefault,
+ $chan.modeParam(), ...
+ - new certificate related functions: $dcc.getSSLCertInfo(), $certificate(),
+ $str.evpSign(), $str.evpVerify()
+
+A lot of new misc features:
+ - a module to support FiSH irc encryption
+ - smart logging paths using KVS
+ - medialayer support: VLC, Spotify, Totem, Clementine, ...
+ - a rewritten log viewer module
+ - dynamic support for custom channel modes
+
+As usual, we'd like to thank all the people supporting KVIrc development and its
+userbase. A big hug to the resident users of #kvirc@Freenode for their continuous
+effort on bridging the gap between developers and users.
+
+Have fun :)

+
+19.03.2011: Release 4.0.4 "Insomnia"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go again: 4.0.4 is ready.
+
+This is mainly a bugfix release.
+
+Configuration from existing 4.0.0/4.0.2 installations will be completely preserved
+and everyone is encouraged to upgrade.
+
+As usual, the bugs for this release should be reported by using the bugtrack
+system available at https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/
+
+Have fun :)
+Szymon Tomasz Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team
+
+
+
+01.08.2010: Release 4.0.2 "Insomnia"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go again: 4.0.2 is ready.
+
+This is mainly a bugfix release. 4.0.0 went public after a very long delay and
+even if we have tested it thoroughly some problems still managed to escape our
+attention. There are fixes for several minor annoyances and the very important
+patch for a security issue related to DCC handshakes (secunia advisory SA40727)
+
+Configuration from existing 4.0.0 installations will be completely preserved
+and everyone is encouraged to upgrade.
+
+As usual, the bugs for this release should be reported by using the bugtrack
+system available at https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/
+
+Have fun :)
+Szymon Tomasz Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team
+
+
+27.06.2010: Release 4.0.0 "Insomnia"
+###############################################################################
+
+And again, after more than one year, we're back with a new release.
+
+The major version increment from 3 to 4 reflects a big milestone reached by the
+project: the port to Qt4 has been officially completed. This required a lot of
+code to be rewritten and I must say that we have suffered it a bit. But now
+it's done and Qt4 is a great framework to base KVIrc on, far better than Qt3.
+
+Notable new features of this release include:
+
+- Definitive and stable port to the Qt4 libraries
+- A brand new build system based on CMake (no more ./configure)
+- Better support for server tecnologies: CAPS, STARTTLS, SASL, irc services...
+- A new UPnP module to control and remotely map your router ports for DCC
+- A totally rewritten MDI subsystem, with the look and feel of your OS
+- A nice graphical addon packager
+- A visual class editor for object oriented scripting
+- A rewritten iograph module to check your bandwidth usage
+- Support for animated avatars
+- Ability to get other user's avatars/information without the need to
+ CTCP the whole channel
+- Support for DBus inter-process communication
+- Support for the MPRIS media player control and info reporting
+- Support for Phonon direct media playback
+- Improved platform compatibility for KDE4, MacOSX, Seven etc...
+- A lot of new options to better customize your client
+- A lot of new KVS commands and functions for your scripting needs
+- Tons of bug fixes, more than 500 only from the bugtracker
+- A better documentation of the code for those who like to give a look at it.
+- Months of testing and fixing to assure you an optimal IRC experience ;)
+_ ...
+
+Again a lot of people contributed to this release. It would be simply unfair
+not to mention the huge development effort made by Elvio Basello (HelLViS69),
+Fabio Bas (CtrlAltCa) and Alessandro Carbone (Noldor). Without their hard work
+KVIrc 4.0.0 wouldn't be possible.
+
+Other kudos go to Markus Rennings (mren), Kai Wasserbäch (Curan),
+Jan Wagner (spy6), Claudia Mongini (etherea), Jose (Zé) Melo (mmodem),
+Alexey Uzhva (alexey), Robert Förster (Dessa), ambossarm, TheXception,
+Voker57, Thomas Kalla, bugslayer, Aeriana, Desowin and obviously to everyone
+on #kvirc@freenode who provided testing and support.
+
+Well... it's time to play with it.
+
+Have fun :)

+
+###############################################################################
+General notes for the 4.0.0 release of the KVIrc IRC client
+###############################################################################
+
+- Installation
+
+The detailed installation instructions for the unix source distribution
+are in the INSTALL file.
+
+The Windows version needs no installation: you just need to run the
+installer executable and follow the proposed steps.
+
+Other documentation can be found in the doc subdirectory.
+
+- Reporting problems
+
+You are encouraged to "mess" with all the KVIrc options and features,
+and to report bugs and misbehaviours to the author.
+Anyway, before reporting a bug, ask yourself if it can be caused
+by some other part of your system: KVIrc uses many external libraries
+and (as all programs) relies on a correct system behaviour.
+Make sure that the libraries you use are the correct ones (!!!).
+
+When you encounter a problem please read the FAQ that is found
+in the distribution and also take a look at http://www.kvirc.net
+for a more recent version. If nothing helps to solve your problem
+then you might consider issuing a bug report.
+
+The best way to report a bug is to use the bugtrack system at
+https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues/. Another way is to subscribe
+to the kvirc mailing list (see http://www.kvirc.net for instructions)
+and report the problem there. In both cases your bug report
+should be written in english and should contain most information
+possible about the problem. If you have encountered a crash
+on an unix platform you should include a gdb backtrace (stack dump).
+The more gdb info you send, the biggest is the possibility for us
+to find the problem and maybe a solution. There is a FAQ entry
+that explains how to produce a suitable gdb backtrace.
+If you can't obtain a gdb backtrace (maybe because you're on
+a platform where gdb is not available) or if the problem
+is not related to a program crash then you should include
+a detailed procedure that leads to the manifestation of your problem.
+You should always include a short description of the platform you
+are running on: the operating system, the cpu (if not an x86),
+the version of the Qt library and the KDE environment (if relevant).
+You should also mention the relevant version of KVIrc and where
+you got it from (svn, kvirc site, other sites).

+
+15 October 2008: Release 3.4.2 "Shiny"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go with another release :)
+
+In march we said that 3.4.0 was the last release of the 3.* but we've found
+that a little update wasn't going to hurt while the mainstream 4.* is being
+worked out. Technically this is a mainly bugfix release: there are no major
+new features inside. Some annoying 3.4.0 bugs were wiped out, some docs were
+updated and we'll hopefully have a more stable windows binary.
+
+If you're using 3.4.0 (or some older version) then you're strongly encouraged
+to upgrade.
+
+Have fun :)
+Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team
+
+
+
+
+
+23.03.2008: Release 3.4.0 "Virgo"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go with another release :)
+
+This one took a very long time but, well, finally it's here.
+
+Notable new features of this release include:
+
+ - improved themeing support
+ - better desktop integration
+ - nicer support for many different IRC servers
+ - a totally revised option layout
+ - basic support for script "addons"
+ - improved help subsystem
+ - new nice statusbar applets
+ - improved scripting engine
+ - improved windows and macosx support
+ - ....
+
+There is also a lot of small new details that you will
+find out by yourself while playing around and finally
+we obviously also have a huge number of bugfixes.
+
+This will be the last stable release of the 3.* series and also the last
+one using Qt3. From now on we'll be working on major version 4 and
+switching completely to Qt4. This release actually contains a preliminary
+Qt4 support and if you feel brave you might test it by passing
+the "hidden" --enable-qt swtich to configure.
+
+Have fun :)

+
+
+
+
+22.02.2005: Release 3.2.0 "Realia"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go again: 3.2.0 is out!
+
+The long road to stability has reached an important milestone. The previous
+releases of the 3.* series were the first ones after a huge codebase rewrite.
+3.2.0 is a result of several months of testing, debugging and improving.
+You will surely find it more stable, fast and user friendly.
+
+The old scripting toolbars have been replaced by the new "action" based
+approach. Besides the scripting flexibility of the actions we have also
+gained "drag & drop" toolbar editing. Just select "Settings -> Toolbars
+-> Customize" from the menu and drag your favorite actions (buttons!) to the
+toolbars you wish. You can obviously create new toolbars on the fly and destroy
+old ones. There is a set of builtin actions and new ones can be added
+by the means of the action editor (another new feature) accessible from
+the Scripting menu. Play with it :)
+
+The UNICODE support has been improved yet more. Now you can set global,
+per-network, per-server and per-window encodings! There is also a new
+set of "smart" encoding engines that first try to decode the text as UTF8
+and in case of failure fallback to your standard encoding.
+
+The translators did a really good (and hard) job: we actually have KVIrc
+translated in 14 languages. I'm really happy about that.
+
+There is a new nice Instant-Messager-like notifier window that pops up when
+a query message arrives and KVIrc is not the active application. Yes,
+you can disable it, but I'm sure you will not. The notifier is also fully
+scriptable and we're working on a simple skinning engine for it.
+
+We also have perl support: now you can use perl from KVS and
+KVS from perl. The engine is still quite essential but with some hacking
+you can obtain really good results from it.
+
+The small IRC-Context-Display has been removed from the toolbar and has been
+replaced by a real status bar that is capable of displaying the same
+information in a much cleaner way. The IRC-Context-Display is still
+available as an action so you can just drag it back in its place
+and hide the status bar to return to the previous release configuration.
+The statusbar also supports applets that can be added/dragged/removed by the
+means of the mouse: just try the right click.
+
+The scripting engine has been improved and there are several new object
+classes. An interesting new feature here is the $tr() function that allows
+your scripts to be translated with the standard gettext mechanism. The
+widely requested DCOP communication function has been implemented too.
+
+Out-of-the-box mircryption support has been added. The KVIrc's mircryption
+engine supports the standard ECB mode and the new CBC mode
+
+The DCC transfers have been improved and seveal related bugs have been
+fixed. It is also possible to limit the bandwidth for each transfer.
+
+There is a lot of minor new features that will make your IRC sessions funnier
+and more exciting: some of them are described in the ChangeLog file and
+other can be found by exploring the user interface.
+
+The small one-man-project has grown to the level of a small community.
+People from around the world have joined our development efforts and are
+constantly donating their time, eyes and bandwidth in order to make KVIrc
+a really good IRC client. Besides of simply giving you a free (as in freedom!)
+and nice program for chatting, they are giving you the great opportunity to see
+what's behind the scenes: you have the source code for the whole application.
+In practical terms this means more or less 300.000 lines of tested, debugged and
+commented C++ code, several perl scripts, dozens of makefiles and all the means
+that you need to produce a working KVIrc executable on all the supported platforms.
+There is a lot of knowledge (some people call it "technology" because it sells better)
+inside, ready to be acquired by an attentive reader. Don't forget that the freedom of
+building your own executable from the sources gives you the opportunity
+of verifying the source itself: for example you might be interested in verifying
+that KVIrc will not run any malware code on your machine nor will collect
+your private data and sell it to someone while you're happily chatting with a friend.
+We call it freedom, please respect it :)
+
+Our community is contantly growing and this release was possible thanks to the
+contribution of really many people. There are new mighty developers, new addicted
+fans and we have seen a lot of new users. The list of the major contributors
+can be found on the KVIrc site, in the about dialog and all around the sources.
+If you want to meet them please join the #kvirc channel on your favorite
+IRC network or subscribe to our mailing list.
+
+Ah, I was going to forget it: you might have noticed that there is
+a version bump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.0. It's a typo that we arbitrairly
+decided not to fix :)
+
+Have fun :)

+
+31.05.2004: Release 3.0.1 "System Virtue"
+###############################################################################
+
+Here we go again: 3.0.1 is out!
+
+3.0.1 is mainly a bugfix release. 3.0.0 was the first public release
+after long time and even if we have tested it for a very long time
+some bugs didn't miss to jump out. 3.0.1 contains the fixes for these
+problems and adds some minor functionality. The detailed list of
+changes is in the ChangeLog file.
+
+The bugs for this release should be reported by using the bugtrack system available
+at http://bugtrack.kvirc.omnikron.net
+
+Have fun :)
+Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team
+
+
+17.04.2004: Release 3.0.0 "Awakening"
+###############################################################################
+
+After a couple of years from the last stable release, here we go again :)
+
+Since the 2.* releases the KVIrc source code has been almost completely
+rewritten. The major differences are summarized in the following list:
+
+ - Multiserver: you can have multiple IRC connections in a single window
+ - IPV6 support, also for DCC transfers
+ - SSL support (also over IPV6)
+ - UNICODE support for the user interface
+ - Better scripting language
+ - A basic Theme Engine
+
+The first major goal of the rewrite was "user-friendliness": you should be
+able to start an IRC session by selecting a server and clicking "Connect Now"
+just after the installation.
+The second major goal was "extreme-flexibility": you can customize the way KVIrc
+looks and the scripting language allows you to implement complex responses
+to IRC generated events.
+
+There is a lot of minor new features that will make your IRC sessions funnier
+and more exciting: some of them are described in the ChangeLog file and
+other can be found by exploring the user interface.
+
+This release was possible thanks to the contribution of many people.
+The list includes but is not limited to: Triskelios, Jan Wagner (spion),
+Juanjo Alvarez (Kane), Andrea Parrella (Yap), Luk De Ketelaere (Balboy),
+Sara D'Alia (Sbrokka), Ted Podgurski (alch3m1st), Ciro Guariglia (d3vah),
+Christoph Thielecke (Crissi), Eva Schaller (Penny), Niklas Luer�en (Tequila)
+Olle Hallnas (Crocodile), Francesco Meloni (Princo), Alessandro Rossini (Aronnax),
+Alex Grijalba Martinez (SuD), SuperbepS, Thilo Schulz (Thilo), Dworf,
+Jorma Tuomainen (Wiza), Michele Pinassi (O-Zone), Paolo Sammicheli (XDatap1),
+Ahinu, xevilstar, The Siena Linux Users Group, cyco & samweis,
+The Firenze Linux Users Group, all the subscribers of the KVIrc public mailing
+list and finally all the people from #kvirc on IRCNet and Freenode.
+
+Have fun :)

+###############################################################################
+General notes for the 3.0.0 release of the KVIrc IRC client
+###############################################################################
+
+- Installation
+
+The detailed installation instructions for the unix source distribution
+are in the INSTALL file.
+
+The Windows version needs no installation: just unzip the archive in
+a suitable directory (such as C:\Program Files\) and run kvirc.exe from there.
+
+Other documentation can be found in the doc subdirectory.
+
+- Reporting problems
+
+In this release, the changes are so huge that it was not possible
+to test them in all the possible conditions. A 'normal' irc session
+should give you no problems.
+You are encouraged to "mess" with all the KVIrc options and features,
+and to report bugs and misbehaviours to the author.
+Anyway, before reporting a bug, ask yourself if it can be caused
+by some other part of your system: KVIrc uses many external libraries
+and (as all programs) relies on a correct system behaviour.
+Make sure that the libraries you use are the correct ones (!!!).
+
+- Contents of a good bug report:
+
+- A gdb backtrace in case of a segfault.
+ The more gdb info you send, the biggest is the possibility
+ for me to find the problem and maybe a solution.
+- A detailed description (read : procedure) to reproduce the bug
+ Obviously if possible...
+- All information on your system that you think that may be
+ related to KVIrc and to the problem itself.
+
+To enable the gdb debugging you must compile kvirc with
+the --enable-debug configure option.
+
+
+
+03.01.2003: Release 3.0.0 beta2
+###############################################################################
+
+
+Here we go again!
+Yes, this is still called "beta", but it should be stable on most machines.
+We're simply still missing some features planned for the final 3.0.0.
+
+Beta2 is being released as a source package.
+Binary packages (for windows and other platforms) might be available soon
+so check out the download section once in a while.
+
+90% of the 2.* branch features have been already re-implemented and there are
+many new things to play with.
+
+There is a preliminary UNICODE port: KVIrc UI starts to "speak" foreign (non Latin1) based languages.
+IRC character set mapping has been implemented (with 8 commonly used codepages for now).
+You should be able to use the Euro sign (ISO-8859-15), write Cyrillic (KOI-8-R, CP-1251, ISO-8859-5),
+Greek (ISO-8859-7) and even use ideograms with the UTF-8 encoding.
+Character mapping selection is window based thus you should be able to write Cyrillic on #russian,
+Greek on #athens and write plain English on #kvirc in the same IRC session.
+
+Some modules have been removed from the main distribution. This is because the source
+tree has been growing too much: we are removing the non-strictly-necessary features
+and we will release them as separate packages.
+
+On the CVS you can already find the "nap" module that allows chatting (no file sharing yet)
+on OpenNap networks.
+
+The scriptcenter dialog has been split in smaller "pieces" and a GUI toolbar editor has been added.
+
+Finally there are tons of bugfixes and improvements: just play with it :)
+
+The bugs for this release should be reported by using the bugtrack system available
+at http://bugtrack.kvirc.omnikron.net.
+
+Have fun :)

+This is not stable yet, but many people use it and we get a really small number of
+critical reports: this means that you probably can use it for your daily chatting.

+Beta1 is being released as a source package and a binary distro for the windows platform.
+Binary packages for other platforms might be available soon so check out the download section once in a while.
+
+If you had previous KVIrc installations and you experience problems (missing menus for example)
+try to remove (or better just rename) the old local configuration directory (locaed
+in your home dir probably) and to restart KVIrc.
+
+80% of the 2.* branch features have been already re-implemented and there is a whole
+bunch of new things to play with. One of the greates "ChangeLog" entries is the preliminary
+SSL support that works for IRC and DCC CHAT (both over IPv4 and IPv6).
+CTCP PAGE support has been added and there were some major changes to the variable
+management in the scripting language (added "real" array support and changed the syntax for the dictionaries).
+Those of you that like colors can now enable the icon-like display of emoticons
+and play with icons in the text sent through the server (a new escape code).
+The documentation has been reworked a little bit more, there are some new modules and
+a lot of new options to try.
+
+The windows version is not completely in sync with the linux one thus you might find
+that it lacks some features (mainly advanced scripting language, sound support etc...).
+We hope to have a completely synchronized versions on both platforms for the time
+of 3.0.0 final.
+
+The bugs for this release should be reported by using our new shiny bugtrack system available
+at http://bugtrack.kvirc.omnikron.net.
+
+Well..
+That's all folks!
+
+Have fun :)

PROJECT RELATED QUESTIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -1.1 What is KVIrc? What does the KVIrc name stand for? - - KVIrc is a cross-platform Internet Relay Chat client. - The name stands for K Visual Internet Relay Chat client. - The K prefix comes from the old times, when KVIrc was bound to the - KDE project and depended on the KDE libraries to run. Actually this - is not true anymore since KVIrc depends only on the Qt library from the - Qt Company and runs also on platforms where KDE can't run. - - -1.2 Why is KVIrc not totally integrated in KDE? - - First of all read the answer for question 1.1. - We could provide a more complete integration by the means of conditional - compilation but since it would require additional efforts to synchronize - the KVIrc sources with the KDE library changes we choose not to do it. - If you wish to contribute some code that better integrates KVIrc with - KDE you're welcome to do so: we will happily accept your patches as long - as you promise to maintain them :) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2. COMPILATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -2.1 I can't compile KVIrc from Git, what's wrong? - - Have you checked the requirements? - *Carefully* read the INSTALL file that comes with the distribution: - it contains the information which solves 95% of the problems that - you may encounter. You may also try digging in our mailing list - archive: many problems have been solved there. - If you still can't get it to work, please either subscribe to the KVIrc - mailing list (see www.kvirc.net) and report the problem there. Alternatively - open a issue at https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues or join #kvirc - on Freenode and ask the channel members for a hint. - - -2.2 Internal Compiler Errors? - - Compile errors like this: - In file [somefile]:[someline] internal error: - Segmentation fault - Please submit a full bug report, - with preprocessed source if appropriate. - See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for instructions. - - This error can have multiple reasons. - 1) A compiler bug: my GCC 3.2 20020903 (default on RH 8.0) spits - out 5-6 of them daily. Usually it is solved by simply restarting the *make* command. - If it doesn't go away or if it gets really frequent and annoying you might try to upgrade the compiler. - 2) A memory corruption: this is really frequent: one of your memory banks is spitting random bytes - sometimes. Usually the problems come out under heavy system load (kernel, KDE or KVIrc compilation for example). - You can check for memory corruption by trying different RAM modules (or removing them one at a time to discover - the broken bank). You can also try a program called memtest and a kernel - patch that can force the broken memory banks to be ignored by the kernel (allocated permanently to a dummy kernel task). - These tools can be found by digging the web with your favorite search engine. - 3) A deeper hardware problem: if upgrading the compiler and changing memory banks doesn't help then - it *might* be a deeper hardware problem: bus errors, faulty IDE (or SCSI) controller or even buggy CPU... - Well.... - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3. INSTALLATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -3.1 There is a problem during package installation/creation - file /usr/share/services/irc.protocol from install - kvirc-version.package conflicts with file from package xxx - - This is a known issue with all types of packages that handle - file conflicts. KVIrc installs the IRC protocol handler for KDE - and the same is done by KSirc and kopete (and maybe others). - There is no particular reason for KVIrc to fix it in the core - distribution (and there is also no simple way to do it). - Either the package maker must exclude the irc.protocol - file from installation or mark it as optional in some way or the - users must use some sort of force flag during the installation. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -4. IRC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -4.1 How do I join a channel? - - Type "/join #channelname" - - -4.2 How do I autojoin channels? - - There are many ways to do it. - For example: - Select "Scripting/Events" from the KVIrc menu. - Lookup the "OnIrc" entry in the left pane of the window that pops up. - Right-click on that entry and select Add handler. - A default handler will be created. In the right pane write: - join #kvirc - join #kde-users - join #somechannel - .... - Now click OK and you're done: you have just created a handler for an event. - Reconnect to a server and KVIrc will autojoin the channels that you have selected. - Another option (nicer, if you use several servers) is to go to the servers options - page and click the button labeled 'Advanced' on the entry for the single server. - There is a server-specific "On connect execute..." event. - - -4.3 How do I enable automatic NickServ identification? - - KVIrc supports two kind of NickServ identification rules: per-network and global. - The per-network rules can be accessed from the server options page. - You need to select a network in the list view (not a server!) and then click - "Advanced...". In the dialog that appears there is a NickServ tab - on that you can add your identification rules. Adding a rule - should be straightforward (if you stop the mouse over an item you will likely get a small - tool tip with the explanation). Each rule is composed of: - - the nickname that is being identified: the rule will be applied only - when your current nickname corresponds to this one. - - a nick server user mask that must be matched by the NickServ user - in order for him to be recognized as the real NickServ asking for - identification. You will probably use something like NickServ!service@* - - a message regular expression that must be matched by the message - that the NickServ sends when requesting the identification. - You will probably use something like "If this is your nick, - identify yourself with /ns IDENTIFY password" - - an identification command that will be executed when all the rules - above match. You will probably use something like "ns IDENTIFY yourpassword" - The global rules can be created in the IRC::NickServ page of the options dialog - (accessible from the Settings/Configure KVIrc... menu). The main difference - is that each rule has a server mask that must be matched by the current - server name for the rule to be applied. - KVIrc first looks in the per-network rules and if none matches it looks - in the global rules. - - -4.4 I can't see my national characters, what's wrong? - - There are several ways to fix your national characters display. - General encoding: - Open the options dialog and go to the "Encoding" page. - You can set explicitly the encoding to be used for the whole application. - If you choose "Use Language Encoding" KVIrc will try to guess the - encoding from your system settings. If this doesn't work then the reasons - may be: - - Your system settings are wrong - You need to fix them - - Your server applies some specific encoding to the data - See "Server encoding" - - You're chatting with people that have different system settings - See "Channel & Query encoding" - Server encoding - Besides the general encoding you can set one encoding per server. - This is done in the server options dialog (Click Advanced...). - The encoding will be applied to all the text that comes from - and goes to the server. If you choose "Use system encoding" - then the server will inherit the "General encoding" value above. - If this doesn't work then you have either set it incorrectly or - you are chatting with people that use different encodings. - In this case see "Channel & Query encoding" - The server encoding is used also to decode nicknames and - channel names on servers that support it. - Channel & Query encoding - Besides the general and server encoding you can set also per-window - encoding in channels and queries. This encoding will be applied - ONLY to the text sent to or received from that channel or query. - This feature is useful when chatting over a non Unicode aware - IRC server (nearly all at the time of writing) with people - that have settings different than your general defaults or - the server default. - - Keep in mind that IRC has a MAJOR problem with character encoding - and in fact the formal definition of the protocol requires it - to be only 7bit safe. This means that on some servers you may - see your national characters eaten by the IRC network and there - is almost nothing you can do about that... - - UTF-8 is the best encoding we can get on IRC. Try to convince - other people to use it :) - - -4.5 I can't connect to an IPV6 server, what's wrong? - - First of all make sure that your IPV6 stack is setup correctly. - Can you ping6 other IPV6 other machines? - - # ping -6 ipv6.google.com - - Is the IPV6 support enabled in your KVIrc executable? - To find it out, try - - /echo $features - - in the KVIrc command line. You should get a comma separated list of - features compiled in the executable. If the list contains "IPv6" then - the support is compiled in, otherwise you must check your compilation - stage to guess what went wrong. - To connect to an IPV6 server you can use /server -i <servername> - If you can ping other IPV6 machines, the IPv6 support is compiled in your - executable and you still can't connect to an *existing* IPv6 server then - you may have found a bug :) Report it. - - -4.6 /me doesn't support the '$' character, what's wrong? - - This is NOT a bug : this is a feature : KVIrc supports (and substitutes!) variables in all the commands. - You can escape your $ sign by using the backslash character: - - /me has gained \$100 - - Otherwise, you can use friendly command line mode, where special symbols are not interpreted. Just click the green - arrow next to the input field and then click the KVS icon. - - -4.7 /me doesn't support the '"' (double quote) character, what's wrong? - - This is NOT a bug : this is a feature : a string enclosed in double quotes will have its whitespace preserved - while the other strings will have the whitespace simplified. This is valid for ANY command. - You can escape your " sign by using the backslash character: - - /me feels a bit \"foo\" - - Otherwise, you can use friendly command line mode, where special symbols are not interpreted. Just click the green - arrow next to the input field and then click the KVS icon. - - -4.8 /me can't contain the ';' character, what's wrong? - - This is NOT a bug : this is a feature : KVIrc supports multiple commands on a single line and uses ';' as a command - separator. You can escape your ';' sign by using the backslash character: - - /me is hungry \;) - - Otherwise, you can use friendly command line mode, where special symbols are not interpreted. Just click the green - arrow next to the input field and then click the KVS icon. - - -4.9 I try to do a /whois on nick blah\ but I get the reply for blah (without the slash) - - In KVIrc /whois is a scripting command and the nickname is a command parameter. - In scripting commands the backslash is a special character with several "escape" - meanings. To include a literal backslash inside a parameter you MUST double it, - thus the correct command to issue is /whois blah\\ - - Otherwise, you can use friendly command line mode, where special symbols are not interpreted. Just click the green - arrow next to the input field and then click the KVS icon. - - -4.10 What is AVATAR protocol? Is there any documentation about it? - - AVATAR is a simple CTCP based protocol that allows associating images (avatars) - to IRC users. The protocol definition is simple: - - - CTCP AVATAR QUERY: - :<source> PRIVMSG <target> :<0x01>AVATAR<0x01> - Queries the avatar of the <target>. - - CTCP AVATAR REPLY: - :<source> NOTICE <target> :<0x01>AVATAR <avatar_url><0x01> - Asserts that the <source> user's avatar is located at <avatar_url> - that usually will be something like http://server.domain.top/avatarimage.jpg. - - KVIrc supports also DCC based avatars that are simply "offered" to the - remote users. In this case the <avatar_url> does not contain the http:// - prefix but is a simple file name. The remote users request the avatars - by issuing a DCC GET command. This is an useful but secondary extension - and can be ignored by simple implementations. If you need more information - about this method please write to pragma at KVIrc dot net. - - -4.11 The log files seem to be saved randomly, when I open a log - I can see only a part of the text that actually should be there - - KVIrc does not explicitly flush the log files while writing them. The OS - (or the underlying C library) does the flush operation when necessary. - This means that blocks of the log file will be added to the file on disk - only once in a while. If you really need to see the logs in real time - then you can explicitly flush the log files by scripting. - Just add a script like this to your OnKVIrcStartup event: - - timer(flushlogfiles,30000) - { - foreach(%x,$window.list(all,any)) - { - if($log.file(%x)) - { - echo -w=%x "Flushing log file..."; - log.flush -w=%x; - } - } - } - - The script above will flush all the log files every 30 seconds. You may - remove the echo statement if you're annoyed by the output :) - - -4.12 The DCC transfers seem to be interrupted after the first few bytes: - KVIrc says that the remote end has closed the connection. - - Make sure that you don't have activated the "Send ACK for byte 0" - option in "Options->DCC->File Transfer->Advanced". - This option should be used ONLY IF you have problems without. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -5. ADVANCED IRC FEATURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -5.1 How do I connect to an SSL-enabled IRC server? - - Use /server -s <servername> - It should work also over IPV6. - If it doesn't work then your executable might have no SSL support compiled in. - To find it out type - - /echo $features - - in the KVIrc command line. If "SSL" is not in the list then you must go back - to the compilation phase and see what went wrong. - - -5.1 How do I use DCC over SSL? - - /dcc.chat -s <nickname> should work - - -5.3 Do I need a SSL certificate? - - No you shouldn't need it, but you can use it if you want. - - -5.4 How do I create a SSL certificate? - - A test self-signed certificate can be created by using the CA.pl perl script included - in the OpenSSL distribution. It will be something like CA.pl -newcert - - -5.5 I can't get KVIrc to use my SSL certificate in a DCC, what's wrong? - - The SSL protocol doesn't require the "client" to send the certificate: it is - sent only if the "server side" requests it (it is not the KVIrc case). - The server side may have a certificate and you can set it in the SSL options page. - If your Private Key is stored in the certificate file pass the same filename - to both Certificate and PrivateKey option. - Remember to set the password if needed. - - -5.6 KVIrc crashes when a certificate is used under Windows, what's wrong? - - This is probably a bug of the SSL dll shipped with the windows version of KVIrc. - You might try with a different version of this dll. - - -5.7 Can I encrypt my messages? -(or: How do I enable mircryption (encryption in general) for a specific channel?) - - KVIrc supports encryption for channels, queries and DCC chats by the means - of text transformation engines. You can access the list of the engines - by clicking the button with the yellow lock in the upper right corner - of the window. In the pane that will appear select "use text transformation" - and then choose one of the available engines. - The Mircryption engine is an implementation of the mircryption protocol and - supports both ECB and CBC mode. There is also a wide variety of Rijndael based encryption - engines as well as some funky other text transform tricks. - Most of the engines will need a pair of keys to encrypt and decrypt text - and in most cases you will use the same key for both encrypting and - decrypting. In the particular case of Mircryption you can enable - CBC mode by prefixing your key(s) with the "cbc:" string. - Once you have entered the keys just click on OK and start "talking" in the - window. Any encrypted text will have a "lock" overlay in his icon. - If you want to avoid encrypting a particular text line (maybe because - you want to allow everyone on a channel to read it) you can start - the line with a CTRL+P character. - - -5.8 How do I execute a process and send its output to a channel? - - The straight way to do this is - - /exec("your command here"){ say $1; } - - Since it is not too much "user friendly", you can alias it in - the following way: - - /alias(runandsay){ exec($0-) { say $1; } } - - Then you would simply run - - /runandsay cat /proc/cpuinfo - - in the channel window you want the output sent to. - - Keep in mind that this is a "brute" approach and I'm sure that after - reading some documentation (start from /help exec) you will be able to - find more elaborate and nice ways to send a process output to a channel/query. - - -5.9 How do I keep channels and queries open after a disconnect? - - KVIrc can keep your channels and queries open when the connection terminates - unexpectedly. This will probably make sense only if you plan to - reconnect to the same server or at least the same network (either manually - or automatically). - - An "unexpected disconnect" is a connection termination not explicitly caused by - the KVIrc user. This means that the connection is interrupted, either - by the networking stack or by the remote server, without the user - having sent a QUIT message (by the means of the /quit command or by pressing - the "disconnect" button in the toolbar). - - All this because the normal behaviour of a /QUIT command is, yes, to quit - your current connection without leaving traces of it. - - To keep the channels and queries open you just need to select the - relative options in the "Connection" page of the options dialog - (on unexpected disconnect: "Keep channels open" an/or "Keep queries open"). - - Then you might also select "Automatically reconnect", "Rejoin channels - after reconnect" and "Reopen queries after reconnect" to bring your - "dead windows" to life again :) - - Finally, you can simulate an "unexpected disconnection" by using the -u switch - of the /quit command. This might be useful when you want to explicitly - quit your connection while leaving the channels and queries open... maybe - because you need to renew the connection to your ISP before reconnecting ;) - - -5.10 I have an unreliable ISP connection but KVIrc takes a really long - time to detect a disconnection and reconnect. - - KVIrc doesn't detect itself that the connection has dropped until your - kernel explicitly times out. KVIrc measures lag, instead, that will - probably grow up a lot when the connection has dropped. - You can write a handler for the OnLagCheck event that will detect - the lag growing over a certain threshold and reconnect. - This involves opening the event editor, selecting OnLagCheck - and choosing "Add handler" from the right mouse menu. - In the handler write: - - if($1 > 30000){ quit -f -u; } - - 30000 is just a sample threshold (it means 30000 milliseconds!), replace - it with a value of your choice. - quit -f -u will close the current connection immediately (-f = force) - and will simulate an "unexpected disconnection" condition (-u = unexpected). - If you then enable automatic reconnection (see answer for question 5.9) - in the options dialog, KVIrc will automatically reconnect and rejoin channels. - - -5.11 I'm in a LAN and KVIrc uses a wrong IP address in DCC transfers - - KVIrc supports a couple of methods for guessing the right IP address for - DCC transfers: you only have to guide it a bit :) - - The first thing to try is "Guess address from IRC when unroutable" (Options->DCC). - This will perform a lookup on your own IRC mask once you connect - to an IRC server and use the address as source in DCC transfers. - (You need to reconnect to the server to make this option work!) - This trick will fail when your hostmask is cloaked (mode +x on recent IRC servers): - KVIrc will tell you that it couldn't look up the hostname and give up. - - In this case you might try to set a fixed address to be sent as source - in the DCC transfers: you just need to fill in the *IP address* of your - router in the option field. This field doesn't support hostname lookups - and it won't update automatically when you router's IP changes. - However, if you router's IP has a DNS entry, you can ask KVIrc to fill - this field with a simple script to be performed at every connection. - - event(OnIRCConnectionEstablished,updatedccsource) - { - ahost(yourrouterhostname.dyndns.org) - { - option boolDCCSendFakeAddressByDefault 1 - if($1)option stringDefaultDCCFakeAddress $2 - else echo "Couldn't look up the router's hostname" - } - } - - When transferring files to other KVIrc clients you may also try the - DCC RSEND protocol instead of DCC SEND. It will ask the remote end - to listen instead. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -6. APPEARANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -6.1 On Windows KVIrc seems to slow-down sometimes, what's wrong? - - This is usually caused by the heavy graphics: try removing some graphic effects like the - pseudo-transparency. I have experimented that it happens almost always on 32-bit displays. - Switching to 16 or 24-bit may also help. - - -6.2 I don't see the channel popup menus anymore, what's wrong? - - If something went wrong with KVIrc settings (a crash when the script settings - were saved?) or if you have messed with the scripting options and you - want to get back the original behaviour (default script) you can choose - "Scripting/Restore default script" from the KVIrc menu. - (WARNING: It will erase any script modification you have made!) - KVIrc should be able to detect such situations and automatically suggest the - re-installation of the default script. - -6.3 Does KVIrc support Themes? - - Yes, KVIrc has introduced a Theme Manager. You can find it in the Option dialog. - From there you can change the way KVIrc looks: fonts, colors, windows behaviour, - icons, taskbars, and so on. - Once you have changed the theme, you can export it and share with your friends, - or send it to the KVIrc staff to see it published on the web site. - - -6.4 I hate all that colors, what can I do about it? - - By fiddling with the options you can make KVIrc appear even monochromatic. - Go to Options/Theme and select the minimalist theme: it will set white text - on black background and will disable the displaying of a lot of icons. - This is a good starting point for you console addicted hackerz :D - - -6.5 On Windows, how do I use Firefox, Opera or any other browser to open links instead of explorer? - - Currently any browsers defined as the default browser, will be used automatically. - Use the instructions below only to set your preferred browser. - - These days KVIrc uses a "run cmd.exe /c start \ "$0" command to open the currently set default browser. - - Go to the "URL Handlers" options page and set - - run "C:\\path\\to\\your\\browser.exe" "$0" - - as URL handler for the protocol you're interested in (maybe in all). - Please note the double backslashes (a single backslash is an escaping character) - - Suepahfly suggests to use - - rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "$0" - - as URL handler to open the URL in the default windows browser. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -7. CRASH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -7.1 What the heck is a GDB stack trace and how do I get it? - - A GDB stack trace is a "photograph" of the state of the KVIrc internals - taken when a certain event has occurred. The most common event - is a program crash (Segmentation Fault). - The stack trace helps (or even allows) the developers to locate the - crash cause in the program sources. - To obtain a GDB stack trace you must: - - - Compile KVIrc with 'cmake -DDEBUG=1' option. - Without this switch the stack trace is USELESS. - - Have a working installation of GDB (the GNU Project Debugger) - This is usually available on your distribution cd - and you may already have it installed. - - Run KVIrc: - # gdb kvirc - When the gdb prompt appears write: - # (gdb) run -f - Make KVIrc crash: GDB will tell something about - a signal received by the program. Write then: - # (gdb) bt - The text you see is the stack trace you wanted :) - Copy+Paste into a new bug ticket at - https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues/new - - -7.2 KVIrc hangs up, but doesn't crash. How do I report debug information? - - Use GDB to get a stack trace as in answer to question 7.1. - Since your KVIrc doesn't crash you will have to interrupt the execution - manually while it is hung up. You can do it by pressing CTRL+C in GDB. - - -7.3 KVIrc exits by itself or simply "disappears" without any apparent reason. - - Yes. It probably crashed but you haven't noticed that. - We NEED a GDB stack trace or a working procedure to reproduce the - behaviour in order to hunt it. - - -7.4 KVIrc dies when using alias(identify){ identify password; }; - - This is infinite recursion: a programming error. - Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop, learn - that once for all and fix your script. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -8.

Hacker Installation - Advanced or power users: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - First of all, if you often compile applications from source on Linux - and you know how to solve dependency problems then well, KVIrc is not - very different. It uses a build system based on CMake and follows its - standard procedures. - - If you feel brave try: - - $ cd <kvirc_source_directory> // (usually KVIrc) - $ mkdir build - $ cd build - $ ccmake .. - $ make - $ sudo make install - - If something goes wrong with the above procedure then you should read - the step-by-step instructions below. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 3. Dependencies and requirements: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - KVIrc compilation process depends on a set of tools and development libraries. - Some of them are strictly required (the process will fail without them) - and some are optional. The ones marked as "preferred" are optional but - without them KVIrc may lack some fundamental features. - - Where OpenSSL is concerned, you should check it is legal to use cryptographic - libraries in your Country. - - In order to compile KVIrc you will need: - - - C++ compiler ............ (Required) - - CMake ................... (Required) >= 3.1.0 - - CMake GUI ............... (Optional) - - Doxygen ................. (Optional) - - pkg-config .............. (Required) - - git-core ................ (Preferred) - - Pthreads ................ (Required) - - ZLib .................... (Required) >= 1.2.8 - - X Rendering Extension ... (Required) - - X11 client-side library . (Required) - - Qt GUI Toolkit .......... (Required) >= 4.8 - - KDE ..................... (Optional) - - Enchant ................. (Optional) - - Phonon framework ........ (Preferred) - - Qt Multimedia ........... (Optional) - - OpenSSL ................. (Preferred) - - GSM speech compressor ... (Optional) - - GNU gettext ............. (Optional) - - Python .................. (Optional) - - Perl .................... (Preferred) >= 5.004 (5.10 recommended) - - Note: For further information on these libraries read 4. Configuring the environment - - For CMake >= 3.1.0 run: - - Note: PPA for CMake for Ubuntu and variants <= 14.04 LTS: - - $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kvirc/kvirc -y - $ sudo apt-get update - - For Ubuntu or variant distributions the complete list of dependencies - and installation command is: - - $ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake cmake-curses-gui doxygen git-core \ - libenchant-dev libgettextpo-dev libgsm1-dev libperl-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev \ - libssl-dev libx11-dev libxrender-dev pkg-config python-dev zlib1g-dev - - Note: KVIrc is complied by default against Qt5.x those libraries are: - - $ sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5svg5-dev \ - libqt5x11extras5-dev qtbase5-dev - - Note: An audio support backend is required for audio the choices are as follows: - - Compiling KVIrc with qtmultimedia5 audio support: - - $ sudo apt-get install qtmultimedia5-dev - - Compiling KVIrc with phonon audio support: - - $ sudo apt-get install libphonon4qt5-dev libphonon4qt5experimental-dev - - Note: When using Phonon, a working phonon-backend should be installed, - else you may not get any audio coming out your speakers at runtime. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 4. Configuring the environment: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - If your distribution is sane, installing the development packages should set up - your environment variables correctly. You will know that something is wrong when - you run CMake, the configuration output will complain if paths are not found. - - If the CMake configuration terminates successfully you can skip directly to step 5. - - However when this is not the case you may need to export the path variables manually. - e.g. $QTDIR. - - Note: Where x is the KVIrc's currently supported Qt version. - Current only Qt supported version is 5 - - For x86 e.g. - - $ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qtx - - For x86_64 e.g. - - $ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtx - - Note: If you have multiple distinct versions of the same Qtx.x installed - and want to use a specific version, exporting QTDIR won't suffice, since the - CMake module searching for Qtx.x uses qmake itself to determine the Qtx library dir. - - You can set your $PATH variable to have CMake using your specified Qtx.x version: - - $ PATH=/opt/qtx.x/bin/:$PATH cmake .. - - Note: See step [5. Configuring KVIrc] for supported CMake configuration flags. - The trailing dots are required when you build out-of-source - or CMake will likely fail. - - ## KDE (Optional) - - If you want to compile the KDE integration support, you obviously need KDE. - The kdelibs package should suffice. - - - ## Pthread implementation (Required) - - This is usually included in your distribution and is probably already - installed. In Ubuntu or variants the library is libpthread-stubs0-dev. - The library is called libpthread.so. You can search for it using the "find" - or, at your option, "locate" command. - - 0. $ find / -name libpthread* - - 1. $ locate -i "libpthread*" - - ## GNU gettext (Optional) - - If you use KVIrc in a language other than English, then you need - the GNU gettext package. In particular KVIrc uses msgfmt. - - This is usually included in your distribution and is probably already installed. - In Ubuntu or variants this library is libgettextpo-dev. - If your distro is not Ubuntu or variant you can check it by running: - - $ msgfmt --version - - KVIrc will not complain if the command above is missing. It will just skip - the creation of the translation files. See the CMake configuration output. - - - ## Perl (Optional) - - If you want to generate the on-line documentation you'll also need Perl. - - Note: The way external software can embed Perl has changed between Perl version - 5.8 and 5.10. KVIrc should play nice with Perl as of version 5.004 and - higher, but 5.10 is strongly recommended, since future updates can break - backwards compatibility. - - If you want Perl scripting support to be compiled, you need a working Perl - installation. Your libperl.so MUST be compiled with the multiplicity option. - You can check it with: - - $ perl -V - - - ## OpenSSL (Preferred) - - If you want the secure socket layer (SSL) support to be compiled, you need - the OpenSSL development library, in Ubuntu or variants its libssl-dev - - - ## GSM (Optional) - - If you want DCC VOICE to support the gsm codec, - you need a recent copy of libgsm. This is not strictly required - at compile time since KVIrc will look for the library at run-time - and only if the DCC VOICE with the gsm codec is requested. - You can check for libgsm using the 'find' or 'locate' command. - - 0. $ find / -name libgsm* - - 1. $ locate -i "libgsm*" - - This library is included in most distributions. - Some distros ship only the static version of the library "libgsm.a". - If the previous find or locate command returned something similar - to "/usr/lib/libgsm.a", you might create the shared library manually - by running: - - $ cd /usr/lib - $ ld --whole-archive -shared -o libgsm.so.1 libgsm.a - $ ln -s libgsm.so.1 libgsm.so - $ ldconfig - - Notes: - 1. This won't work if the library was compiled without -fPIE. - 2. Files in /usr/lib should really be managed by package manager of the distro. - Whenever package containing libgsm.a upgrades, the manually created libgsm.so stays old. - 3. The distribution can provide a better way to install libgsm.so. - e.g. in Gentoo many packages have static-libs USE-flag which tells the package manager - to install not only .so files, but also .a (which is kinda the reverse, but the point still stands) - - ## Phonon framework - (Preferred) - - If you want the /snd plugin to play various audio formats, - you either need the phonon framework, a running ESounD daemon, - or a reasonably recent audiofile library. - Without these KVIrc will be only able to play *.au files. - - - You will need the dynamic linker interface library libdl.so. - - This is usually installed on your system, so don't care until configure - complains about it. Some system have the interface builtin in libc. The - configure script can detect this. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 5. Getting and updating the source code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - The KVIrc development code is located at https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc - - There are several ways to get KVIrc's source code, if you compile often, - the best way is to clone the repository as this allows for the most flexibility. - - $ mkdir /home/setup && cd /home/setup - $ git clone https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc.git - - Keeping the git clone up-to-date is simple. - - $ git pull --rebase origin master - - Cleaning the git directory of any files or directories generated my CMake or Make. - This is recommended previous to configuring or compiling any updated git clones, - it will minimize the chance of errors during the reconfiguration / compilation, - If you experience any compile issues make sure this command is executed. - - $ git clean -xfd - - Alternatively if you prefer. you can download a tarball of the most recent - sources. - - $ mkdir /home/setup && cd /home/setup - $ wget https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/archive/master.tar.gz -O kvirc.git.tar.gz - $ tar -zxvf kvirc.git.tar.gz - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 6. Configuring KVIrc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Since KVIrc 4.2 uses CMake as build system, we have to use it to create - the Makefile's rules for make program. - - To do it, we encourage the "out-of-source" building: build all files - without dirtying the sources directory. - - $ cd /home/setup && cd KVIrc - $ mkdir build - - In this way you have just created an out-of-source environment which is - clean at the beginning and can be changed afterwards, as well as a clean - source directory. - - $ cd build - $ cmake [your options] .. - - Note: The two trailing dots are required when you build out-of-source. - - The CMake rules support some flags. If you don't specify them, CMake will - try to guess a good environment for you. - - To use these flags, you have to pass a bool value or a string. - e.g. To install KVIrc in /usr instead of /usr/local and to disable - Phonon support, the command looks like: - - $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWANT_PHONON=0 .. - - When using the configuration flags below. - - -DWANT_DEBUG= (default: OFF) - When enabled, compiles the executable with debug symbols. - Useful for reporting bugs. - Note: An alternative method of defining build type is using: - -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= - - Supported options are: - - None Debug Release RelWithDebInfo MinSizeRel - - -DWANT_STRIP= (default: OFF) - Available only if debug is disabled, this flag disables objects - stripping before installation. - (Object stripping discards symbols from object files, lowering their - size on disk, at the expense of more complicated or rather impossible - debugging.) - - -DWANT_VERBOSE= (default: OFF) - Generate verbose output when compiling. - Note: this will be deactivated when using a job setting higher than 1 - with gmake. i.e., make -j2 will *not* show verbose compilation output. - - -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=PATH 0 (default: a system-dependent directory) - This will install all stuff under PATH directory. - - -DLIB_SUFFIX=SUFFIX= (default: empty) - This will install libkvilib and KVIrc modules to - ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX} - directory. It defaults to an empty suffix. - Mainly used for x86_64 architectures. - - -DMANDIR=DIRECTORY= (default: $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/man) - This will install man pages to DIRECTORY. - - -DWANT_COEXISTENCE= (default: OFF) - If enabled, appends version information to KVIrc and libkvilib, so that - different KVIrc versions can co-exist on the same system. - - -DWANT_ENV_FLAGS= (default: OFF) - When enabled, KVIrc install rules won't try to figure out and set - CMAKE_C(XX)_FLAGS. Instead, it will let CMake use the ones taken - from environment variables. - Activating this flag will override the value of -DWANT_DEBUG. - - -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT= (default: OFF, not cached) - This will re-initialize the installation path to a good default. - Following compilations should use the correct path value cached by CMake. - This flag is useful to solve macOS install problems. - - -DWANT_UNIVERSAL_BINARY= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables the compilation of universal binaries - for the macOS platform. - - -DWANT_PHONON= (default: ON) - Enables or disables Phonon audio backend support. - - -DWANT_OSS= (default: ON) - Enables or disables OpenSoundSystem audio backend support. - If disabled, audiofile support will be disabled as well. - - -DWANT_AUDIOFILE= (default: ON) - Enables or disables audiofile audio backend support. - - -DWANT_ESD= (default: ON) - Enables or disables ESounD audio backend support. - - -DWANT_QTDBUS= (default: ON) - Enables or disables Qt D-Bus support. - - -DWANT_QTWEBKIT= (default: ON) - Enables or disables Qt WebKit support. - - -DWANT_KDE= (default: ON) - Enables or disables KDE support. The KDE version used - depends on the Qt version used. Qt4 implies KDE4, Qt5 implies KDE5. - - -DWANT_OPENSSL= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the cryptographic functions support using OpenSSL. - - -DWANT_CRYPT= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the cryptographic engines and the whole cryptography/text - transformation support. Produces a slightly smaller executable. - You will lack features, though. - - -DWANT_IPV6= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the IPv6 support. - Even if you have a plain IPv4-only connection, you might want to - keep the IPv6 support. This way you will be able to resolve - IPv6 hostnames. - - -DWANT_TRANSPARENCY= (default: ON) - This option enables or disables pseudo and real transparency support. - The pseudo-transparency support makes the KVIrc windows - look like semi-transparent (this is NOT real transparency, it is - just a neat-looking hack). Transparency uses compositing and needs - proper hardware support to work. - If KDE support is enabled, KVIrc will have an option that - makes all windows use a faded KDE desktop background image - as background. Without KDE support you will be able to choose - a fake background image and use it as background. (You can still - choose your desktop wallpaper, this will (more-or-less) work with - all window managers). - It is cool-looking but usually eats some memory and makes the - executable slightly bigger, when enabled. Especially when moving - objects around, CPU consumption may get high as well. - You can thus disable transparency here. - - -DWANT_GTKSTYLE= (default: OFF) - QGtkStyle is a Qt backend that uses native GTK widgets. - By default we disable QGtkStyle since it interferes with KVIrc's internal - theme engine and there maybe some unwanted styling that you may consider broken. - Some users want to use it anyway. Please don't report any theme-related bug - if you enabled this option: we already know it's limitations and issues. - For further information / discussion see: - https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues/2117 - - -DWANT_PERL= (default: ON) - Enables or disables Perl support. - You will not be able to use Perl scripts inside of KVIrc. - You still can execute Perl scripts outside of KVIrc, i.e. with - the exec() command. - Note: Perl support will be checked anyway, and used to generate - the documentation if present. - - -DWANT_PYTHON= (default: ON) - Enables or disables python support. - You will not be able to use Python scripts inside of KVIrc. - - -DWANT_IPC= (default: ON) - Enables or disables support for inter-process communication. - You will not be able to send remote commands to running - KVIrc sessions. This basically means that every time you run - the KVIrc executable, a new session will be started. - If you don't use this switch, a new session will be started - only if no session is running on the same display or - "new session" has been forced by a command-line switch. - If a session is already running, the command-line will be - passed to that session via IPC (X-event-based communication). - This option saves the KVIrc executable some KByte in size, - so if you're really, really short in memory, you might use it, - otherwise, IPC is a nice feature. - - -DWANT_GETTEXT= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the use of GetText to generate translation files. - - -DWANT_DOXYGEN= (default: ON) - Enables or disables developers docs generation through Doxygen. - - -DWANT_GSM= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the usage of the GSM library. This will - disable the DCC VOICE GSM codec but might help when the - compilation stops complaining of something related to GSM. :) - - -DWANT_IGNORE_SIGALARM= (default: OFF) - Under Solaris, both usleep() and threads implementation are based on - SIGALARM. KVIrc uses both, and this could lead to some spontaneous - application quits. This option enables a workaround for this problem. - - -DWANT_DCC_VOICE= (default: ON) - Enables or disables the DCC VOICE sound support. This might help - if you have problems in compilation of src/modules/dcc/voice.cpp. - It will disable the sound support (and thus render DCC VOICE unusable). - - -DWANT_DCC_VIDEO= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables EXPERIMENTAL DCC VIDEO support. - - -DWANT_OGG_THEORA= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables EXPERIMENTAL Ogg/Theora Support for dcc video. - - -DWANT_DCC_CANVAS= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables OBSOLETE DCC CANVAS support. - - -DWANT_SPELLCHECKER= (default: ON) - Compile Spell-Checker Support. - Note: If libenchant development package is installed, - this option is automatically enabled during configuration. - - -DWANT_MEMORY_PROFILE= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables memory allocation profiling. - Don't set it, unless you are a developer and know what you are doing. - It will have high impact on executable size and most notably speed. - Please do not use this. - - -DWANT_MEMORY_CHECKS= (default: OFF) - Enables or disables malloc() memory checks.

Interactive CMake KVIrc configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - The CMake build system provide also an interactive mode to configure - the environment before compiling. - Again, we encourage the "out-of-source" building: build all files - without dirtying the sources directory. - - $ mkdir build - $ cd build - $ ccmake .. - - Now you're in interactive mode, just follow the instructions on screen - to configure your compilation environment. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 8. Compiling -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - This step is easy: - Cross your fingers and run: - - 0. $ make - - If you have a multiprocessor or multicore machine then you can use -jN - to speed up the compilation. - - 1. $ make -j4 - - If your make is not a GNU make (this happens on FreeBSD for example) you - should use "gmake" instead. - The compilation process will take from 2-3 minutes to several hours - depending on the machine capabilities and load. - If you have a slow old CPU but have a couple of computers in a LAN you might - consider using distcc to distribute the compilation. - - Once the compilation has finished successfully, run: - - $ sudo make install - - Same as above: use "gmake install" if your make is not GNU make. - - This will install the executable in /usr/local/bin (if you haven't - specified a different -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option in the CMake rules), - the libraries in /usr/local/lib (if you don't have specified a different - -DLIB_SUFFIX option in the CMake rules) and the shared data in - /usr/local/share/kvirc. - - Make sure that /usr/local/lib is in your /etc/ld.so.conf. If it isn't, - put it in there and run: - - $ sudo ldconfig - - If you have decided to use the KDE support the installation might have - placed all these files in your $KDEDIR tree instead of /usr/local. - In this case you should be OK since KDE requires its library dir to be - in /etc/ld.so.conf. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 9. Compiling on macOS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - There is a detailed compilation and installation HOW-TO for macOS systems - located in the doc directory. It's named INSTALL-MacOS.txt. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 10. Compiling on Windows -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - There is a detailed compilation and installation HOW-TO for Win32 and Win64 systems - located in the doc directory. They're named INSTALL-Win32.txt and INSTALL-Win64.txt. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 11. Creating a KVIrc package -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - CMake supports DESTDIR argument. - So, if you want to make a package for your distribution, you simply have to pass - it at "make install" stage: your install files will go to the chosen path. - - $ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/kvirc-4.3 - - After this step, just follow your distribution's rules to make a good - package for the distro you're running. - - Alternatively, you can try the experimental CPack support included in - CMakelist.txt to build a package. In this case, please refer to the CPack - documentation. diff --git a/doc/LICENSE-OPENSSL b/doc/LICENSE-OPENSSL index 7d0e2378b..3499e49e3 100644 --- a/doc/LICENSE-OPENSSL +++ b/doc/LICENSE-OPENSSL @@ -124,3 +124,35 @@ * copied and put under another distribution licence * [including the GNU Public Licence.] */ + + + _OpenSSL Exception_ + +0.

-SUMMARY -======= -1. PREFACE -2. INSTALLATION -3. A TYPICAL ADDON LAYOUT -4. SOME EXAMPLES -5. HINTS -6. WHERE TO START - - -1. PREFACE - -Starting from the release 4.0.0 KVIrc supports the addon packaging system. - -A KVIrc addon is basically a zip package containing a subset of user-defined icons, -aliases, functions, classes and all stuff needed to implement a new KVIrc feature. -It might be a simple automatic-away subsystem, a GUI newsticker or a complex file -sharing service (commonly called "fserve"). Addons are sometimes called "scripts". -In fact a KVIrc addon is usually made of more than one KVS script. - -KVIrc has a builtin addon management system that allows the users to create, install, -configure and uninstall features with a nice graphical interface. The management -system allows the addons to have documentation integrated in the KVIrc help and to -be translated in several languages. - - -2. INSTALLATION - -The addons are usually shipped in compressed archives (.kva). A simple double -click on the *.kva file should be sufficient to install the addon for the current user. - -Another way to install the package is to use the /addon.install command. -Under the hood, the double click will just invoke kvirc by passing the *.kva file -name as parameter. KVirc will recognize it as being an addon package and will -automatically invoke "/addon.install <filename>" on it. - - -3. A TYPICAL ADDON LAYOUT - -As stated above, the addons are usually shipped in a compressed archive. The -/addon.install command will uncompress it to a temporary directory. -The uncompressed tree is substantially the same directory tree that you have -to create in order to package your addon and it usually looks like this: - - name-version/ - +- install.kvs - +- src/ - | +- source1.kvs - | +- source2.kvs - | \- ... - +- locale/ - | +- name_it.mo - | +- name_de.mo - | \- ... - +- config/ - | +- config1.kvc - | +- config2.kvc - | \- ... - +- audio/ - | +- audio1.wav - | +- audio2.wav - | \- ... - +- pics/ - | +- pic1.png - | +- pic2.png - | \- ... - +- help/ - +- en/ - | +- index.html - | +- hints.html - | \- ... - +- it/ - +- index.html - +- hints.html - \- ... - -The entries with a slash (/) at the end are directories while the other are files. - -The toplevel directory should be named with your addon name and version. Use no spaces -in the directory entries: this will make the things simpler for people that want to -use your addon. - -The install.kvs is the mandatory initialization script which must contain all the -procedures required to register your addon inside the KVIrc subsystems and install -all your addon data files. - -For example: - - ... - addon.register("MyAddon", \ - "1.0.0", \ - "My First Addon", \ - "An addon that is really cool but does - simply nothing", \ - "4.0.0", \ - "MyAddon_32.png" \ - ) - { - } - - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "pics" "pics/*.png" - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "locale" "locale/*.mo" - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "config" "config/*.kvc" - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "audio" "audio/*.wav" - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "help/en" "help/en/*.html" - addon.installfiles "MyAddon" "help/it" "help/it/*.html" - - # Register classes - MyAddon::classes::register - - # Initialize events - MyAddon::events::init - - # Load configuration - MyAddon::config::load - - # Setup popups - defpopup("MyAddon") - { - item($tr("Something","MyAddon"),110) - { - ... - } - } - - # Set options - option boolAutoAcceptDccSend 1 - option boolShowMinimizedDebugWindow 1 - - # Invoke sources - include "src/mystuff.kvs" - ... - - -The install.kvs is the only really mandatory piece of an addon. Most real-world addons, -however, will be split over several kvs source files. Canonically these -source files are placed in the src/ subdirectory and the install.kvs must invoke them -them in the right order. More about the install.kvs script in section 4. - -If your addon is translated in different languages then the "locale" directory should -contain the *.mo catalogue files for your translations. The localization process of a -script is explained in the KVIrc documentation. Your *.mo filenames should be prefixed -by your addon name. - -If your addon needs an initial configuration then your config files should be placed -in the "config" subdirectory and should have *.kvs as extension. - -The "pics" and "audio" (if relevant) directories should contain your multimedia files. -It's a good idea to have your pics file in PNG format and sound files in WAV format. - -The "help" directory should contain subdirectories for each language your help files -are written in. The languages dirs should be named with the language code also used for -the translation files (like "en", "it" etc...). - -Please note that English is the default language and KVIrc will fallback to the "en" -subdirectory when no other language is found around... - - -4. THE INIT FILE - -The smallest addon that you can write is the one that does nothing. - - addon.register("MyAddon", \ - "1.0.0", \ - $tr("My First Addon","myaddon"), \ - $tr("An addon that is really cool but does - simply nothing","myaddon"), \ - "4.0.0", \ - "MyAddon_32.png") - { - } - - -The code above does nothing but registers the "MyAddon" addon. - - -The first parameter is the internal addon id which can be used to identify your addon -inside KVIrc. The id must be unique: two addons that share the same name cannot be -installed. -The second parameter is the addon version. It should be expressed in the classic format -[major].[minor].[pathlevel] or something really similar (in fact KVIrc just expects the -version to be a string composed of numbers separated by dots). The version is compared -when an addon is installed and KVIrc complains if the user tries to downgrade an addon -(that is to install a less recent version over a more recent one). -The third parameter is the visible name of your addon: it will be displayed to the user -in the addon management dialog. It can contain the $tr function so you can have it -translated to several languages: in this case, our string will be translated in the -catalogue myaddon. -The fourth parameter is a short description of the feature that the addon implements; -it can contain the $tr() function too. -The fifth parameter is the minimal KVIrc version required to run the addon. -The sixth parameter is the icon to show in the manager: it has to be 32x32 pixel big. -There are also some switches that can be used to fiddle a little bit more :) - - -5. THE HELP AND CONFIGURATION CALLBACKS - -Each addon can have a help and a configuration callback. These are set respectively by -addon.sethelpcallback and addon.setconfigurecallback. -The help callback will be invoked by KVIrc when the user will ask help for your addon -(mainly from the addon management dialog, but not necessarily). It should call help.open -with the name of your documentation index html file (it should be relative to the help -language directory. - -Hint: help.open myaddon/index.html will automatically lookup the right language - -If you provide no help callback, the button for requesting help will be simply disabled. -A good and relatively complex addon *should* have at least a minimal help file explaining -the features. - -The configuration callback will be invoked when the user will try to configure your addon -from the addon management dialog. This callback is useful mainly for more complex graphical -scripts that can show up a dialog that allows configuring all of the addon features. -To use this callback you will probably need some object scripting. - - -6. THE REAL WORK - -The real addon work is done by the scripts contained in the source directory. They will -likely add aliases (maybe in a nice namespace named against your addon), register event -handlers, create actions, timers, toolbars and object classes. You should install all of -this stuff from your addon source files. - -Remember that your source files will NOT be parsed every time KVIrc starts up: your stuff -must be registered in KVIrc and be able to startup itself, if needed. You must clean up -everything in your uninstallation callback. This means that you must remove the aliases, -unregister the event handlers, destroy the actions, kill the timers and the object classes -you've created. Be a clean coder :) - - -7. SOME EXAMPLES - -The code below is just an example of how to write a useful initalizazion of your own addon. -The name of the classes refer to the ones described above. - - # Register the classes - alias(MyAddon::classes::register) - { - # Create an array with all the classes of our addon. - # In this way it's easy to add or remove classes in the registering routine - %classes[] = $array( \ - MyAddon::classes::database, \ - MyAddon::classes::gui::options, \ - ... - ) - - # Scan the array and register the classes - for(%i=0; %i < $length(%classes[]); %i++) - { - if($classDefined("%classes[%i]")) - { - objects.killClass %classes[%i] - } - eval %classes[%i] - } - } - - # Initialize events - alias(MyAddon::events::init) - { - event(OnKVIrcStartup,"MyAddon") - { - ... - # Load the catalogue (translation) file "myaddon" from the path provided - trload myaddon $file.localdir("locale/MyAddon") - MyAddon::config::load - ... - } - event(OnChannelMessage,"MyAddon_something") - { - ... - } - } - - # Load configuration - alias(MyAddon::config::load) - { - # If the class ConfHandler is not defined, register all classes we have - if(!$classDefined(MyAddon::classes::ConfHandler)) - { - MyAddon::classes::register - } - - # Set some variables - %MyAddonConfig = $new(MyAddon::classes::ConfHandler) - %MyAddonConfigPath = $file.localdir(config/scripts/MyAddon) - - # Open the configuration file and move to the section "general" - %c = $config.open(%MyAddonConfigPath/MyAddon.kvc,"r") - config.setsection %c general - - # Store the value of the key "Key" in the global variable %Key - %Key = $config.read(%c,"Key",2) - ... - } - - -8. HINTS - -- Use namespaces for your aliases and your classes. This will help avoiding - collisions with other scripts and addons. - -- Remember that your addon is going to be installed on different platforms (at - least Linux, macOS and Windows based). The poor Windows' notepad has serious problems - with reading text files that contain only linefeeds as line separators. - You could consider using a proper editor like e.g. Notepad++ - - -9. WHERE TO START - -It is a good idea to start on the KVIrc web site. There are surely several addons to -look at. Pick one that seems simple and analyze its layout and code (wow... the free -software!). It will be easier to do than it was to explain it :D - -Another great resource place is the IRC channel #kvirc located on irc.freenode.org -network. There you can find many people able to code and help you. - -Have fun! :) - -Elvio Basello diff --git a/doc/firefox.hack.txt b/doc/firefox.hack.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 9b31e63c1..000000000 --- a/doc/firefox.hack.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,32 +0,0 @@ -Firefox Hack Guide - HelLViS69 - 2007.02.08 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -@ Prologue - -This guide is meant to be a simple hack to add protocols handlers to Firefox, -such as irc:// -This guide is been tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. - -@ How To - -- Open Firefox at the url about:config - You'll find the Firefox configuration - -- Click with right button, select New, then Boolean - As Name insert network.protocol-handler.external.irc and true as Value - -- Click with right button, select New, then String - As Name insert network.protocol-handler.app.irc - As Value you have to insert the path of KVIrc binary, e.g. /usr/bin/kvirc, - `which kvirc` or C:\Programs\Firefox\firefox.exe - -- Make sure that network.protocol-handler.expose-all are set as true - -With these simple steps you can handle irc://irc.something.tld from Firefox - -If you want to add more protocols handlers, just follow the same steps changing -the protocol you want to add in Firefox and the application you want to use to -handle the new protocol - -Elvio Basello -<HelLViS69> diff --git a/doc/hackers.guide.txt b/doc/hackers.guide.txt deleted file mode 100644 index e41f570e9..000000000 --- a/doc/hackers.guide.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,998 +0,0 @@ -KVIrc hackers guide - Szymon Stefanek - 2004.05.26 -last updated on 2012.07.01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -This is an always-work-in-progress guide for KVIrc source code hackers. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The source tree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -/ Root directory. -| This is almost completely CMake stuff. -| -|-- admin Administrative files and document generation scripts. -| -|-- cmake Build files using the new CMake system resides in here. -| -|-- data Data for the KVIrc program.

In a large project you tend -to forget the exact meaning of some functions or variables. -A good naming convention makes the code "auto commenting": by looking -at the name of a variable or function you can understand its type -and guess its meaning and usage. -Following these rules is not strictly mandatory (maybe with the -exception of the first one) but it is highly appreciated. - -- INDENT WITH TABS (the only MANDATORY rule) - - Go back to the line above and read it again. - - INDENT, TABS. - - Tabs can be assigned any number of spaces in any decent source code - editor. - - Actually 95% of the KVIrc code is indented in BSD/Allman style - but the K&R style is also tolerated. - -- Try to use the following variable naming conventions - - g_* : global variables - m_* : member variables - no prefix : any other scope - - [prefix]pName : pointer to something named Name - [prefix]iName : integer (signed) variable named Name - [prefix]uName : unsigned integer - [prefix]szName : string named Name - [prefix]dName : floating point vars - [prefix]eName : enumerated value variables - [prefix]tName : kvi_time_t values - - i,j,k,tmp,aux,p : short names are used for short term variables - like the temporaries used in functions. - Do NOT name a member or global variable i. - - So finally: - - g_pApp is a global pointer to the application object - m_pData is a member variable pointer to some data object - m_szName is a string member variable named Name - szPippo is a string variable named Pippo - tmp is a short term temporary variable - i,j,k are probably some short term iteration variables - ... - - -- Function names - - C++ class member functions - Function names start with lower case letters. Each word except the first - one should start with an upper case letter. Try to use descriptive names - and not acronyms or shortcuts (unless they are really obvious). - For example: - fillUserList, setAutoDelete, joinChannel, markQueryAsDead ... - Standalone C/C++ functions - For standalone functions you can follow the C++ rule but the - kernel-like syntax is also acceptable (all low case letters with - underscore separators). - If you're defining a widely used C function (maybe in kvilib) - then adding a kvi_ prefix is also a good idea. - -- Class names - - The class names start with an upper case letter. In most cases - there is a Kvi prefix and the rest follows the rule for function names. - KviApp, KviConsole, KviWindow, KviStr, KviConfig, KviUserParser ... - - If possible, do not use "shortcut" names. - Actually KviCommand is preferred over KviCmd unless the KviCmd class - is REALLY widely used across the source (like KviStr for example). - - This helps a lot in remembering the class names: with the shortcuts - you're often forced to open the corresponding header file to look up - which letters have been left off... - - Structure names usually follow the same conventions. - -- Simple data types - - If you need to define a simple data type then something like kvi_typename_t - is a good choice. - -- Preprocessor - - Preprocessor macros should be all uppercase with undescores separating - words. - -- Comment the code - - You don't need to write poems: two lines describing what a function - does will be enough. - If a function is simple and its meaning is clear from its name - then comments are not needed (this is why we're using expressive - variable and function names). - Single line C++ comments are preferred over the C style comments. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Coding tips -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- Don't use C++ exceptions: they make the code unmanteinable in the long term - -- If you need to access some system function then first look if there is - an existing kvi_* wrapper and use that one instead. The wrapper is there - because of portability issues. - -- Don't use the STL features: anything that you need IS either in the Qt library - or in kvilib. - -- Sources include some arch/compile specific defines: - - Windows compilation (using MS Visual c++ projects) has COMPILE_ON_WINDOWS #defined; - - Windows compilation (using Cmake+MinGW) has COMPILE_ON_MINGW #defined; - - a unix* compilation with KDE support has COMPILE_KDE_SUPPORT #defined; - - a MacOs compilation (using gnu tools) has COMPILE_ON_MAC #defined; - -- Modularize, abstract, modularize, abstract ... - -- When your objects need to be allocated with new in a module and destroyed - in the kvirc core or kvilib (or viceversa) then derive the class from - KviHeapObject that will provide the new and delete operators. - This is a workaround for Windows that uses a separate - heap for each executable module (*.exe or *.dll). Data allocated on one - heap must be freed on the same heap. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The strings -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -This is the list of the various string types used in KVIrc. - -(const) char * - The classic C null terminated string. - -KviStr - The basic KVIrc string class. It has been first implemented as a hack - around various bugs of the original QString class (the NOT unicode one - that now has been renamed to QCString). It has the property of being - always non null and it has no reference counting. - Actually many occurrences of this string are replaced by QString - (especially in GUI modules) to handle correctly the UNICODE character set. - -QString - The Qt UNICODE string. See the Qt documentation for details. - This is the string that should be mostly used in KVIrc in the near future. - Take care: in general it is NOT null terminated. - There is a KviQString wrapper namespace (#include "kvi_qstring.h") that - adds some missing functionality. For example, - KviQString::sprintf(qstring_buffer,qstring_format,...) - allows formatting a QString with a format string that is a QString itself - (and thus it is UNICODE). - QString uses reference counting. An assignment of a QString to another - QString does NOT make an immediate copy, it just increases the reference - count instead. The copy is made at the first modification of one of the - two strings (the operation is called "detaching"). While generally this - is not an issue, you must take care when passing QString objects between - concurrent threads. - -(const) QChar * - The array of Qt chars. This is usually obtained by calling - KviQString::nullTerminatedArray() which itself is a hack... - This array is used in some functions that were written for - const char * strings and haven't been ported completely. - -QCString - The Qt non UNICODE string. See the Qt documentation for details. - -The Goal: - - Use KviStr only where it is strictly needed (for protocol or performance - related issues). One of such places is the IRC server parser (but there - are more). - - Use QString everywhere in the user interface and in any other - place where KviStr is not strictly needed. Save and restore - strings in the UTF8 format. - - Get rid of ALL occurrences of KviWStr and kvi_wchar_t * : DONE on 2004.11.02 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Strings and localisation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Any string that is shown to the user should be translated to the user's local -language. To make a string translaetable use one of the __tr* macros. -The most common one across the sources is __tr("string") that returns -a const char * translation of "string". -Actually __tr() is being phased out in favor of __tr2qs() that returns -a QString instead of a const char * pointer. -The arguments of these macros are extracted from the sources by the -gettext program and are used to build the translation hashes loaded at runtime. -Remember that the arguments must be string constants and not variables. - -The list that follows describes briefly the localisation macros -defined in kvi_locale.h - -CSTRING is an US-ASCII null terminated C string. - -__tr2qs(CSTRING) : translates CSTRING to a QString & -__tr(CSTRING) : translates CSTRING to another CSTRING - This should disappear in favor of __tr2qs - -These macros are NOT THREAD SAFE: you can't call them from non GUI threads. -If you need to translate some string in a slave thread (probably when -sending a message event to the main GUI thread) then you need to use the -__tr_no_lookup() (on the slave side) and __tr_no_xgettext() (on the master side). - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Anatomy of an IRC context -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -KviIrcContext [persistent set of resources] - | - +--KviIrcConnection [changed at every connection, with (almost) all the children] - | | - | +--KviIrcConnectionTarget [target server, proxy to use and address to bind] - | | | - | | +--KviIrcServer - | | | - | | +--KviProxy [null if not using a proxy] - | | - | +--KviIrcLink [high level network link: trasmits and receives IRC messages] - | | | - | | +--(KviIrcConnectionTargetResolver) [kickstarts the connection] - | | | - | | +--KviIrcSocket [low level network link: transmits packets of bytes] - | | - | +--KviPtrList<KviChannel> [active channels] - | | - | +--KviPtrList<KviQuery> [active queries] - | | - | +--KviIrcConnectionUserInfo [nick, user, host, local ip...] - | | - | +--KviIrcConnectionServerInfo [name, supported modes, supported flags...] - | | - | +--KviNotifyListManager [kvi_notifylist.h] - | | - | +--... - | - +--KviConsole [persistent] - | - +--(KviLinksWindow), (KviListWindow) [other may-be-persistent context windows] - | - +--KviPtrList<KviChannel> [dead channels] - | - +--KviPtrList<KviQuery> [dead queries] - | - +--... - -KviIrcContext is the set of resources used to deal with a single irc -connection. An irc context is persistent and reusable until the user decides to -destroy it. The irc context owns the console window (KviConsole) that is -strictly tied to the lifetime of the context itself. The console is created -when the IRC context is created and when the user closes the console then -the IRC context is destroyed too. -In earlier KVIrc versions there was only KviConsole that did the role of both -KviConsole and KviIrcContext, but since the class has grown in complexity -to a point where it started to be unmaintainable the splitting has been unavoidable. - -KviIrcConnection represents an IRC connection: it is the highest protocol -implementation on the KVIrc's networking stack. A KviIrcConnection -owns a KviIrcLink (that is the lower level). KviIrcConnection is NOT reusable: -it lives only for the lifetime of a single IRC connection inside the parent -irc context. KviIrcConnection talks to the parent's KviConsole. -The connection target is a KviIrcConnectionTarget class and it contains -the KviIrcServer, KviProxy and the eventual bind address. The owned target -is passed down the networking stack to the lower level classes. -The connection contains also the lists of queries and channels currently opened. -When a channel or query is marked as dead then its ownership is passed to -the KviIrcContext (it becomes permanent between two connections). -The connection owns a lot of other interesting classes to take a look at: -KviIrcConnectionUserInfo, KviIrcConnectionServerInfo, KviNotifyListManager... - -KviIrcLink is the middle level of the KVIrc's networking stack. -It handles host lookups, the connection startup and data stream input and output. -This is meant to be a "pluggable" class: it should be flexible enough to allow -inheritance and protocol overriding. KviIrcLink owns and manages the KviIrcSocket. -It takes care of extracting IRC protocol messages from the KviIrcSocket raw data -stream and of formatting the outgoing messages by adding the trailing CRLF. -The host lookups are done by the means of KviIrcConnectionTargetResolver. - -KviIrcSocket is the lowest level of the KVIrc's networking stack. -It manages the connection through proxies and accesses the system level -socket directly. The incoming data stream is passed to KviIrcLink::processData() -and the outgoing data stream is received through KviIrcSocket::sendPacket() -KviIrcSocket also manages the outgoing send queue and implements the -"anti-server-flood" algorithm. -This class doesn't know anything about the IRC protocol: it just receives -and sends out raw data packets! - - -....... - -kvirc (KviApp) - | - +-frame window (KviFrame) - | - +-irc_context 1 (KviIrcContext) - | | - | +-irc_connection (KviIrcConnection) - | | | - | | +-list of channels - | | | - | | +-list of queries - | | | - | | +-irc_link - | | - | +-console (KviConsole) - | - +-irc_context 2 - | ... - - -KviConsole <-> KviIrcContext - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Important global variables -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -All these variables are almost alwas set (and point to a real alive object). -The only critical moments where these variables must be double checked -are the startup phase and the shutdown phase. -Do not attempt to change the values of these variables unless you REALLY know -what you're doing. - - -KviApp * g_pApp; - The one and only application object - Declared in "kvi_app.h" - Always set. - -KviServerParser * g_pServerParser; - The one and only server parser - Declared in "kvi_sparser.h" - Almost always set (critical phases at early startup and late shutdown) - -KviFrame * g_pFrame; - The one and only main window - Declared in "kvi_frame.h" - Almost always set (critical phases at early startup and late shutdown) - -KviWindow * g_pActiveWindow; - The one and only active window - Declared in "kvi_window.h" - Almost always set (critical phases at early startup and late shutdown) - -Note for C++ purists: In fact we could be using the protected singleton pattern -on most of these variables and access it by the means of Class::instance(). -The global var names save some typing and can be written by any other class -without having to worry about friends or write-access functions. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The charset mess -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -IRC is not UNICODE :/ ... sigh ... -The fact is that every user wants his local encoding to be used. -KVIrc tries to be even smarter and allow a different encoding for each window. -This is a difficult task since we simply can't translate the strings that -come from and go to the server just at the socket level. - -User -> Server - -We need to allow the local user to write UNICODE data, encode it to the -proper charset (again depending on the window the text was typed in) and -send it down to the server. -When the user writes commands this is going to become a little mess since -nicknames, channel names or usernames may or may not be encoded in the -encoding of the current window. - -Server -> User - -We need to carry the plain 8bit data (in whatever encoding it is) from the -server up to the GUI level, then convert to UNICODE by choosing the proper -decode routine just when we know in which window the text is going to be -displayed. In (non RFC) servers that allow encoded characters in nicknames -this is going to become a real mess since the same 8bit nick may result in -a different UNICODE string depending on the window it was "decoded" on. - -(Partial) Solution: -- Each server has an encoding set. If empty then the network encoding is used. -- Each network has and encoding set. If empty then the default system encoding - is used. -- The system encoding is set by the user. If empty then the encoding is guessed - from the user's locale. -- Each window (with the exception of the console) has its own encoding used - ONLY for private messages and notices. This allows one to join - a channel with a "special" encoding and still see what's being written in. - The real utility of this last feature still needs to be evaluated. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Output levels -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -There are few macros that specify the output level that the user desires. -These marcors are defined in "kvi_options.h" - -_OUTPUT_MUTE: returns true if the user wants KVIrc to spit less useless output - possible. The goal of the user is to chat on IRC so print only data - relevant to this. If stuff goes wrong then print the errors in - short forms (one liners) and do it only in case of serious ones. - Don't print any transient error or warning. - Usage: if(!_OUTPUT_MUTE)output... - -_OUTPUT_QUIET: returns true if the uses wants KVIrc to spit less output than - normal. The goal of the user is to chat visually on IRC so print - only data relevant to this. - Usage: if(!_OUTPUT_QUIET)output... - -<normal level>: Reference output level: here stuff is printed unconditionally. - Usage: output... - -_OUTPUT_VERBOSE: returns true if the users allows KVIrc to print some - additional output. This is intended mainly for scripters and - curious pepole that want detailed information about what is going - on around them. - Usage: if(_OUTPUT_VERBOSE)output... - -_OUTPUT_PARANOIC: returns true if the users allows KVIrc to print anything - including debug info. This is intended mainly for developers. - Usage: if(_OUTPUT_PARANOIC)output... - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Rule for safe text output -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -If the format string you're going to output is not constant (i.e. it -comes from the server) you MUST use KviWindow::outputNoFmt() instead -of KviWindow::output(). - -BAD: - QString szText = pConnection->decodeText(msg.safeTrailing()); - pWindow->output(KVI_OUT_SOMETHING,szText); <--potential crash/security hole - -GOOD: - QString szText = pConnection->decodeText(msg.safeTrailing()); - pWindow->outputNoFmt(KVI_OUT_SOMETHING,szText); <--faster and no crashes - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -KVIrc (and script) versioning -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- Standard definition - -The KVIrc versioning follows a really common standard: we use a -string of numbers separated by dots with decreasing weight from left to right. - - <N1>.<N2>.<N3>.<N4>..... - -where each <NX> is a number. - -Theoretically there is no limit on the parts the version can be composed -of but in fact we use either three or four part versions. The omitted -parts on the right are implicitly assumed to be 0. - -The first part is called the major release number and it is bumped -up only when really big changes occur in the source tree. A bump from N to N+1 -in the major version number means that a great milestone has been achieved -and the software is really different from what it was in the moment -when the major number was bumped from N-1 to N. This usually also means -that the software might be somewhat incompatible with the previous major release. - -When the major number is bumped up all the following parts are reset to 0 -(and could be even temporarily omitted). - -The second part is called minor release number and it is increased -more often than the major. A bump from N to N+1 in the minor version number -means that an ordinary (small) development milestone has been achieved. -Software versions with the same major and close minor numbers are likely -to be totally compatible with each other. - -When the minor number is bumped up all the following parts are reset to 0. - -The third part is called (public) revision number and it is increased often. -A bump from N to N+1 in the revision number usually means that a set of bugfixes -or some new features have been included in the software. Compatibility -should be assumed unless explicitly noted. Again, when the revision number -is bumped up all the following parts are reset to 0. - -The fourth part is actually used only on the git tree and it is usually not -present in the official public releases (it is assumed to be 0 for comparison -purposes). It is called the "internal revision" number and when taken -out of the version string it may assume a meaning on its own (but it's not -required in fact). KVIrc uses the ISO sources date in the format YYYYMMDD for this -number. The sources date number is defined in src/kvilib/config/kvi_sourcesdate.h -and is also displayed by kvirc --version. Some packagers prefer to use the git -revision number instead of the sources date. This is not "official" but it's -still ok as long as it follows the "order-preserving" rule (see below). - -It is unlikely that you will find a KVIrc versioned with more than -four numbers... but if you will (for some strange reason) then it will -still follow the same rules: it will be increased for yet minor changes -(two versions within a single day ?) and will be reset to (implicit) -zero when the fourth part changes. - -- Comparison of version strings - -The comparison of two version strings is defined as follows. -Let N1.N2.N3.N4.N5..... and M1.M2.M3.M4.M5..... be version strings. -To find out which one is greater compare each couple of numbers Ni-Mi at the same -position i (with the same weight) until Ni and Mi differ or both Ni and -Mi are omitted. If both Ni and Mi are omitted then the version strings -are equal, otherwise the greater version string is the one that -contains the greater of the Ni - Mi couple. Easy, right ? - -This means that to compare 3.2.6.3.4 and 3.2.9 you first compare -3 with 3 and find that they are equal. Then you compare 2 with 2 -and find that they are equal. Then compare 6 with 9 and find that -they are different and 9 is greater. This allows you to say that -the first version string is greater than the second. - -To compare 3.2.6.1 with 3.2.6 you compare 3 and 3, 2 and 2, 6 and 6 -and 1 with (implicit) 0, that tells you that the first version string -is greater than the second one. - -This also means that 3 and 3.0.0 are assumed to be EQUAL since -the algorithm above finds that at the fourth comparison step -both numbers are omitted (thus zero from there up to infinity). - -This comparison function is monotonically increasing or in -other words order-preserving. This is a *requirement* for a consistent -versioning scheme. - -- Package versioning schemes with letters - -It is common for packages to add letters to some of the parts -of the version string. This causes the string to lose the -advantage of being universally comparable but it might still -define a consistent scheme for some package line. In the case -that letters are added to a version string (like 3.2.6.git10) -we say that it is comparable only to the version strings -that have the same letter pattern: 3.2.6.git10 and 4.3.1.git344 -are comparable but 3.2.6.git10 and 3.2.6.cvs15 are not. -For comparable strings we strip the letters in order to make the comparison. - -- Stable and unstable versions - -Historically our numbering scheme didn't tell which versions were stable -and which are unstable. The versions were declared to be (more or less) stable -by other means (read: the mailing list and the www site). -It is true, though, that stable versions were likely to have -more numbers omitted (3.5 looks more "stable" than 3.4.5.43), -but in the end this wasn't a strict requirement. - -However, the request for a more standardized versioning scheme is quite -recurrent so we *might* try to use the following one from now on: - - + Major versions have no scheme. Developers decide when to increase them. - When a major number increases the minor and patchlevel restart from 0. - - + Even minor versions are used for stable releases with major changes. - Odd minor versions are used for trunk git development. - - + For stable (even) minor numbers: - + Even patchlevel versions are used for public releases - + Odd patchlevel versions are used for git development - - + For unstable (odd) minor numbers - + The patchlevels are increased freely by the developers when a - particular milestone is reached. - -So: - - 4.1.0 is an unstable git build that comes from git HEAD - 4.1.3 is an unstable git build that comes from git HEAD that reached some - kind of third milestone - 4.2.0 is a stable with major changes with respect to 4.0.0 - it still comes from git HEAD - 4.2.1 is a work-in-progress build that comes from git branch 4.2 - 4.2.2 is a stable with bugfix changes with respect to 4.2.0 - it comes from git 4.2 branch - 4.2.3 is a work-in-progress build that comes from git branch 4.2 - 4.2.4 is a stable with bugfix changes with respect to 4.2.2 - it comes from git 4.2 branch - ... - -Note that in stable stuff both the minor AND the patchlevel are even numbers. - -Visually, for a single major number N, the development might resemble the -following scheme (R means 'stable public release'): - - R R R -trunk: N.0.0--N.1.0--N.1.1--N.1.2--N.1.3--N.2.0--N.3.0--N.3.1--N.4.0--N.5.0 - | | | -branch: +--N.0.1--N.0.2--N.0.3--N.0.4 +--N.2.1--N.2.2 +--N.4.1-... - R R R - -- Official, semi-official and unofficial packages - -We tend to have three types of packages. The official packages are the -ones considered to be stable and released on the site in all the supported forms -(source and various kinds of binaries). The official releases are also announced -in tracker sites and spread between distributors. Since "most" stable, the -official releases are the ones likely to be included in the OS distributions. -The official packages have md5 sums and a gpg signature of one of the KVIrc -developers (with a public key available from a "trusted" location such -as the KVIrc web site). - -The semi-official packages are snapshots of the source tree made when -some important changes have occurred. They are announced on the KVIrc site -only and are likely to be stable (but are not declared officially to be so). -The semi-official packages usually are at least in the source form but -there are likely to be some binaries available too. -We do not sign the semi-official packages but it's still somewhat -granted that WE (the KVIrc Development Team) make them and thus the -source can be trusted. - -The unofficial packages are random snapshots of the git source tree made -by anyone who wants to do it at any time. They are not announced on the KVIrc -web site (but might be uploaded to ftp.kvirc.net) but rather announced and available -at some other internet location. Since we always try to keep the git -tree clean and compilable they should work fine but there is no guarantee. -There is no rule for the unofficial package format: there might be source-only -or binary only packages. We *suggest* to use the four part version string format -but in fact they might contain third party patches and even follow their own -derived version numbering scheme. The general rule is: we don't control -the unofficial packages and don't provide support if they don't compile/work -as expected the user/packager is on his own.. but we'll try to be helpful, -if possible :) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Code documentation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -KVIrc is LARGE.
