IRC was originally written in University of Oulu, Computing Center. Jan 1991 - IRC 2.6 jto@tolsun.oulu.fi - Multiple Channels and protocol changes Contributions were made by a cast of dozens, including the following: Markku Jarvinen : Emacs-like editing facility for the client Kimmo Suominen : HP-UX port Jeff Trim : enhancements and advice Vijay Subramaniam : advice and ruthless publicity Karl Kleinpaste : user's manual Greg Lindahl : AUTOMATON code, the Wumpus GM automaton, myriad bug fixes Bill Wisner : numerous bug fixes and code enhancements Tom Davis and Tim Russell : VMS modifications Markku Savela : advice, support, and being the incentive to do some of our *own* coding. :) Tom Hopkins : bug fixes, quarantine lines, consolidation of various patches. Christopher Davis : EFnet/Anet gateway coding, many automata ;), documentation fixing. Helen Rose : documentation updating, and fixing. Tom Hinds : emacs client updating. Tim Miller : various server and client-breaking features. Darren Reed : various bug fixes and enhancements. Introduced nickname and channelname hash tables into the server. The version 2.2 release was coordinated by Mike Bolotski . The version 2.4 release was coordinated by Markku Savela and Chelsea Ashley Dyerman The version 2.5.2 release was coordinated by Christopher Davis, Helen Rose, and Tom Hopkins. The versions 2.6.2, 2.7 and 2.8 releases were coordinated by Darren Reed. Contributions for the 2.8 release from the following people: Matthew Green Chuck Kane Matt Lyle Vesa Ruokonen Markku Savela / April 1990 Fixed various bugs in 2.2PL1 release server (2.2msa.4) and changed sockets to use non-blocking mode (2.2msa.9). [I have absolutely nothing to do with clients :-] Chelsea Ashley Dyerman / April 1990 Rewrote the Makefiles, restructuring of source tree. Added libIrcd.a to the Makefile macros, numerous reformatting of server text messages, and added mkversion.sh to keep track of compilation statistics. Numerous bug fixes and enhancements, and co-coordinator of the 2.4 release. jarlek@ifi.uio.no added mail functions to irc. Armin Gruner / May, June 1990: * Patched KILL-line feature for ircd.conf, works now. Enhancement: Time intervals can be specified in passwd-field. Result: KILL-Line is only active during these intervals * Patched PRIVMSG handling, now OPER can specify masks for sending private messages, advantage: msg to all at a specified server or host. * Little tests on irc 2.5 alpha, fixed some little typos in client code. Change: common/debug.c has been moved to ircd/s_debug.c, and a irc/c_debug.c has been created, for the benefit that wrong server msg are displayed if client does not recognize them. (strange, if a server sends an 'unknown command', isn't it?) Tom Hopkins / September, October 1990: * Patched msa's K lines for servers (Q lines). * Consolidated several patches, including Stealth's logging patch. * Fixed several minor bugs. * Has done lots of other stuff that I can't seem to remember, but he always works on code, so he has to have done alot more than three lines worth. :) Thanks go to those persons not mentioned here who have added their advice, opinions, and code to IRC.
