    • SetNameCommand and UserRealnameChangeEvent.

IRC Client Library 7.3.0 released!

Version 7.3.0 of the Kitteh IRC Client Library has been released!

It sure has been a while! I am excited to say that I'm pretty sure I resolved the quirky reconnection issue that would happen in very specific cases of interrupted connectivity.

I am pushing 7.3.0 now because of this, with a plan for 7.4.0 sooner than the previous gap. The next release should include standard replies, setname, and labeled-response support.

Changes:

  • Fixed issues with the client reconnection failing under certain circumstances.
  • Added new builder method port(int, SecurityType) which combines changing server port and plaintext/TLS.
    • Deprecated port(int) and secure(boolean) for removal in 8.0.0.
  • Twitch changes:
    • Added login and msg-param-cumulative-months tags.
    • Thank you boostchicken for this work
  • Updated to latest Netty (4.1.51).

Version 7.2.2 of the Kitteh IRC Client Library has been released!

Changes:

  • Fixed bug where nickname changes did not provide the actual updated user/nick.
  • Fixed bug where the input processor labeled the client name as null.
  • Rearranged some listening code for better readability.

IRC Client Library 7.2.0 released!

Version 7.2.0 of the Kitteh IRC Client Library has been released!

Changes:

  • Added explicit support for newly-ratified Message IDs.
    • New MessageTag.MsgId class with default implementation with equals and hashCode that compare the ID as well as a non-Optional getter for the ID.
  • Fixed bug in which ChannelJoinEvent did not have realname or account when it could.
  • Fixed bug where ClientConnectionFailedEvent wouldn't fire for TLS failures (e.g. expired cert). The event now fires and contains the getCause().
  • Updated documentation on TLS stuffs.
    • Removed the deprecated-then-removed AcceptingTrustManagerFactory.
    • Added some advice on TLS-related exceptions.
    • Removed references to StartCom from TLS import documentation and replaced with advice for self-signed.
