Changes for version 0.70 - 2000-05-29

  • Igor Shevchenko sent me a patch for DCC.pm which adds support for resuming DCC GETs. I haven't tested this feature, but the code looks right. :-)
  • Finally fixed the pernicious "stripping the first colon" bug. Let's hope it stays dead this time! This may cause you to have to make a minor change to your CTCP handlers... but that's a small price to pay. (Shifting the first arg off should no longer be necessary.)
  • Fixed an ugly DCC bug reported by Matthew Boehm. I can't believe I didn't notice this before! The fix uses Sys::Hostname to determine the machine's IP address; I'm not sure if this works on Windows, but it probably should. Let me know if not.
  • Added Dave Schmitt's unignore patch, which fixes a big omission in Connection.pm -- you can now turn off ignores that you set with ignore(). Nifty!
