Changes for version 2.5 - 2002-10-27

  • Added an AIM <-> IRC proxy bot to the example scripts. Share and enjoy!
  • I just now noticed that POE::Component::IRC sessions never get garbage-collected. DOH. Now you can send them "shutdown" events to make them go away. Too bad it's probably too late to be breaking backwards compatibility on this... sigh.
  • Added a bug fix from Trym Skaar (those Norwegians get the coolest names!) which fixes a potential crash while closing DCC connections.
  • Added a mega-patch from the unstoppable Rocco Caputo which prioritizes messages sent to the IRC server by importance. This ensures that pings and login information will always keep flowing, even if your bot's inane chatter has been throttled.
