88
Markku Savela <Markku.Savela@vtt.fi> / April 1990
89
Fixed various bugs in 2.2PL1 release server (2.2msa.4) and changed
90
sockets to use non-blocking mode (2.2msa.9). [I have absolutely
91
nothing to do with clients :-]
93
Chelsea Ashley Dyerman <chelsea@earth.cchem.berkeley.edu> / April 1990
94
Rewrote the Makefiles, restructuring of source tree. Added libIrcd.a to
95
the Makefile macros, numerous reformatting of server text messages, and
96
added mkversion.sh to keep track of compilation statistics. Numerous
97
bug fixes and enhancements, and co-coordinator of the 2.4 release.
99
jarlek@ifi.uio.no added mail functions to irc.
101
Armin Gruner <gruner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> / May, June 1990:
102
* Patched KILL-line feature for ircd.conf, works now.
103
Enhancement: Time intervals can be specified in passwd-field.
104
Result: KILL-Line is only active during these intervals
105
* Patched PRIVMSG handling, now OPER can specify masks for sending
106
private messages, advantage: msg to all at a specified server or host.
107
* Little tests on irc 2.5 alpha, fixed some little typos in client code.
108
Change: common/debug.c has been moved to ircd/s_debug.c, and a
109
irc/c_debug.c has been created, for the benefit that wrong server msg
110
are displayed if client does not recognize them. (strange, if a server
111
sends an 'unknown command', isn't it?)
113
Tom Hopkins <hoppie@buengf.bu.edu> / September, October 1990:
114
* Patched msa's K lines for servers (Q lines).
115
* Consolidated several patches, including Stealth's logging patch.
116
* Fixed several minor bugs.
117
* Has done lots of other stuff that I can't seem to remember, but he
118
always works on code, so he has to have done alot more than three
121
Thanks go to those persons not mentioned here who have added their advice,
122
opinions, and code to IRC.
