The client of the future
Note. Apply perl-again.patch when building Irssi with Perl 5.37 or later. Otherwise Irssi's locale/unicode handling may break due to a bug in Perl. See Perl/perl5#21366. The fix given in #1498 was unfortunately not sufficient.
~ (#1460, #1462). By Lukas MaiNote. Apply perl-ntype.patch when building Irssi with Perl 5.37 or later. Otherwise some script functions will be broken due to a change in Perl's ExtUtils::ParseXS. See #1474
^ prefix in the /WINDOW (HIDE)LEVEL commands (#1428)# (#1385, #1388)Note: botti no longer compiles; get in touch if you use it
Format the output of /QUOTE HELP (#1371, an#82). By Val Lorentz. Add /SHELP as default alias (an#83)
/SET resolve_reverse_lookup setting was removed (#1034, #1135)
Irssi will try to connect on IPv4 if IPv6 connection failed (#1146). By Shivaram Lingamneni
The display system now renders formats on the fly (#1079, #1188, #1191, #1192, #1204, #1205, #1209, #1349, #1355, an#13, an#14, an#28, an#29, an#36, an#37, an#49)
This major change will break scripts that try to modify printed text during "print text" signal (#1189). They need to be ported to modify the text during "print format" instead. It also breaks the usage of using /FORMAT to add different colours to a line. Such usage needs to be ported to using $expando variables instead. Affected scripts include format_identify.pl, friends_peder.pl, nickcolor.pl, nm.pl, people.pl
The "gui print text finished" and "gui print text after finished" signals gained a TEXT_DEST_REC *parameter in the process.
A new "gui render line text" signal is available to change the rendering of a line
made the $Z expando (time) dynamic (#1087, #1207, #1208)
This change breaks the usage of /SET timestamp_format to supply a custom displayed time stamp. Affected scripts include binary_time.pl
/HILIGHT -priority now affects which hilight rule gets applied (#1228, #1232)
The NAMES list is now hidden by default if there are more than 18 users on the channel (an#7)
To revert to the previous behaviour
/SET show_names_on_join_limit -1
-tls_verify is now enabled by default (#1170, an#18, #1309, an#23, #1343, #1351)
This may cause an ugly display of notls_verify in the output of /SERVER LIST, even on plain-text connection, on old configs. Kindly remove the "tls_verify = "no";" entries from your config file manually.
Irssi will now attempt STARTTLS if advertised (#1170, #1312, an#19)
Use -disallow_starttls if you absolutely do not want this
In order to check for a STARTTLS advertisement, Irssi will now wait for a response (even an error) to CAP LS 302. If your bouncer/server does not want to communicate before receiving USER/PASS at all, use -nocap to disable the CAP check.
Channel sync requests (WHO, MODE) are now sent "later" than user commands. This should improve responsiveness to user commands in the autojoin phase (an#26, an#32, an#33)
Irssi is now using full paths in #include directives and consequently does not add all directories to the include path anymore (#1040)
The Build System was ported to Meson (#1064, #1065, #1068, #1071, #1072, #1073, #1074, #1075, #1084, #1085, #1118, #1166, #1223, #1224, #1245, #1313, #1314, an#31)
Scriptassist was changed to use a YAML database (#1163)
It will tell you when you need to update your setting
