Subject: [PATCH] MCR Change List on 3/3/2025:
Enhancements:
- Enhanced mention handling: user can use the /mentions command or
press the UP hotkey to reset the mention counter to zero (0) and
also review all previous mentions for the current session.
- User can press the PGUP hotkey as a shortcut key for /scroll
- Seconds are included in the timestamp in widescreen (132 column) mode.
- Passwords get masked when using trust commands (identify, register,
roompass, update password, & roomconfig password).
Fixes:
- Added an IAMHERE immediately after connecting before joining a room.
This fixes auto-joining the lobby (or the configured room) on startup.
In addition, mrc-session now also passes user's terminal size, security
level, IP address, and sysop's name to the MRC server on startup.
- The to_site property in messages from the server no longer needs to be
considered when allowing an incoming message from mrc-connector to
mrc-client. This resolves the issue of messages from ddial users not
appearing in mrc-client, as well as other types of messagea
(e.g.: !weather <city name> $).
- Fixed user list (nick list) refresh when someone joins a room or their
client session times out.
- Stats on the status line no longer wait for user input to get updated.
- Commands not strictly defined in mrc-session are no longer stopped from
being sent out to the server. This means server commands are no longer
required to be issued with /quote (but it will still work for things like
/quote help for the server command list).
- The HOME, END, INSERT, and PAGEDN keys no longer send an empty message
if accidentally pressed.
- mrc-connector.js now announces a user's departure immediately before
sending the LOGOFF command.
- Fixed an issue in mrc-client.js where the new_alias function saved
the new default alias string, but didn't actually use the new alias
string for the current session.
New Features:
- Basic twit filter implemented. Hides messages from problematic chatters.
Usage:
- /twit add nameoftwit Filters out nameoftwit's messages.
- /twit del nameoftwit nameoftwit's messages are re-allowed.
- /twit list Lists twits the user has added.
- /twit clear Empty's the user's twit list.
Twit names are saved per-user to mrc-client.ini (separated by ~ character)
and remembered in future sessions.
- User can press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow hotkeys to change their outgoing
message color. The selected color is indicated by the > symbol to the left
of the inputline, and gets saved and reused in future sessions.
- Added "commands" option under [startup] in mrc-client.ini. This is a
comma-separated list of commands defined by the sysop to execute when a
user enters MRC. For example, including "chatters" will automatically
display chatters in the current room on startup after displaying the motd
screen and joining the room (requested by Amessyroom of Too Lazy BBS).
- Local system messages for the user get displayed in the chat window (e.g.:
email notifications, new echomail posts & replies, etc.). This way the user
doesn't need to wait until leaving MRC to be notified of such things.
- Added /r as a shortcut to reply to the last private message.
- User can use the CTRL+D shortcut to clear the inputline, rather than
having to repeatedly press backspace.
- Optional "MRC for Synchronet" splash on startup. Sysop can customize it
by editing the mrc-splash.msg file, or just disable it entirely by setting
splash = false in mrc-client.ini.
Housekeeping:
- Massive reorganization of the /help information. All help info on local
commands is now contained in external msg files. Redundant and obsolete
commands have been removed, and text has been added to bring awareness
to additional server command availability by typing /quote help
- "banners" is not a command that the server expects to receive from clients
in the USER context, so the banners definition in mrc-session.js, the
associated function call in mrc-client.js, and the associated setting
in mrc-session.ini have been removed.
- Updated readme.txt file, including info on the toggle_nicks setting that
was missed in the previous update.
Known issue:
- Strings starting with semicolons do not go out, because they are recognized
by InputLine.js as sysop command prefixes. Maybe the "submit" command can
be overridden to bypass this.
Acknowledgements:
Big thanks to StingRay, cr1mson, paulie420, and MeaTLoTioN for testing
and providing helpful feedback, and as always to StackFault for insight.

* I started out with good intentions. At least it works.

+ * -------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Codefenix's comments:
+ * codefenix -at- conchaos.synchro.net
+ *
+ * Sincere thanks and kudos to echicken for laying down the
+ * foundation with a great initial working build. I've used it
+ * for a long time to join weekly MRC meetups, and it has always
+ * worked great.
+ *
+ * In 2023 I took it upon myself to start studying this code,
+ * and attempted make some basic cosmetic changes I felt were
+ * needed, like timestamped messages and a togglable nick list.
+ *
+ * In 2024, nelgin implemented SSL (BIG thanks for that!). Later
+ * that same year I decided to get back into it add basic support
+ * for mentions, indented line-wrapping, and basic customizable
+ * themes.
+ *
+ * 2025 brings the most changes yet: twit filter, browseable
+ * mentions, and numerous fixes previously missed.
+ *
+ * I'm a big believer in MRC, and I've always tried to be
+ * respectful of the original design of this code and not make
+ * too many jarring changes. Please excuse some of the coding
+ * decisions I made that may appear less than elegant. I do hope
+ * to optimize and improve the features implemented. Thanks to
+ * everyone who has provided feedback and words of encouragement.
