SmartIrc4net 0.4.0

SmartIrc4net project is a C# class for communication with IRC networks, which conforms to the RFC 2812 (IRC Protocol). Its orignally a port of SmartIRC (written in PHP), but its much more now (I will backport it to PHP5 some day). SmartIrc4net an API that handles all IRC protocol messages and is designed for creating IRC bots or even GUI clients.
Main features:
- 3 layered API:
- IrcConnection (low-level API) contains socket handling and message buffer
- IrcCommands (extends IrcConnection, middle-level API) contains RFC IRC commands plus easy to use IRC methods (like Op/Deop/Ban/Unban...)
- IrcClient (extends IrcCommands, high-level API) full featured IRC class, with channel syncing, fully event driven
- send/receive floodprotection
- detects and changes nickname on nickname collisions
- autoreconnect, if connection is lost
- autoretry for connecting to IRC servers
- debugging/logging system with log levels (using log4net)
- compatible with Mono and Micrsoft .NET Framework
- sendbuffer with a queue that has 3 priority levels (high, medium, low) plus a bypass level (critical)
- channel syncing (tracking of users/modes/topic etc in objects)
- user syncing (tracking the user in channels, nick/ident/host/realname/server/hopcount in objects)
- when channel syncing is acticated the following methods are available:
- IsJoined
- IsOpped
- IsVoiced
- IsBanned
- on reconnect all joined channels will be rejoined, also when keys are used
- own CTCP version reply can be set
Enhancements:
- This release contains crash fixes in the CTCP PING handling code, non-RFC support mode, channel mode parser, and connection handling.
- It also includes an active pinger, which detects network problems much better, as TCP sockets can stall for days or weeks before the error is detected.
- This is the first release that has support for UTF-8.
- The API documentation was extended.
- The login method accepts a list of nicknames, automatically uses the next nickname if a nickname collision happens, and uses part of the nickname plus a random number as a fallback.
