Note:<\/strong> D\u00e6ghrefn has currently some bits of code allowing it to communicate with Gerrit and identi.ca. Bugzilla support is imminent. If you have any need of an IRC command to interact with these services, drop the idea and I will code you that.<\/p>\n

I18n:<\/strong> TCL is a language full Unicode since April 1999 (version 8.1). Internally, it treats characters as UTF-16. From an user perspective, it reads and write UTF-8 by default. On the other hand, D\u00e6ghrefn is an eggdrop<\/a>. The eggdrop performs an UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 conversion of the partyline and the message queues. So we lost non ASCII chars. I recompiled it with an UTF-8 encoding instead<\/a>, but it’s a stable product<\/a>, so deployment will wait the server\/eggdrop crash.<\/p>\n

Update edit:\u00a0<\/i>the eggdrop name is now\u00a0D\u00e6ghrefn (2015-03-27).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
