SVN Revision 66
Hydra
* Fix to /WINDOW position activiating windows
* Fixed non-working buddy groups in 0.3.150.

14/Mar/2005 - PM (0.3.150) - Experimental - for #HydraIRC users only.
SVN Revision - not commited
Hydra
* Fixed the bug where an ignoremask instead of a hostmask was shown in the
header and window title of query windows when someone /msg'ed you
It now correctly displays the hostmask.
* Added hostmask matching to /ignore - note the /ignore command now needs
re-working a bit to make it easier to specify just a mask, but it'll do
for now - the rest of the work that actually does the ignoring is done
at least..

To ignore a user by an ignore mask of the form nick!identname@host do this

/ignore +nick mask=<ignoremask>

e.g.

/ignore +spammer mask=*!*@*spammers-r-us.com

and this will ignore everything coming from any user with any nick coming
from a host that ends with spammers-r-us.com

Someone should update the wiki with this information and with an
explanation of hostmasks and ignoremasks.

ideally we want to just be able to do this:

/ignore <ignoremask> but you can't yet, sorry.

Additionally i added the NOTES=<notes_with_no_spaces> option to /IGNORE so
you can make a note about why you're ignoring this person.

- Added a couple of bugs and the info to the TODO.TXT after investing them
for an hour or so.
- Also had a look at doing host matching on buddy groups, but the host matching
stuff will require a re-write of the way buddy groups are a) stored and
b) used internally (basically, we can't use the IRCUser class for buddy groups
and the whole CustomGroupID business has to go)
Maybe when i do the Friends docking panel I'll write some new classes for storing
display names, current nick+hostmask and buddymask match and then use them for
buddy groups.
