New functions:

  o  onchannel(nick #channel)   is 'nick' on '#channel' ?
  o  pid()                      returns the pid of this client
  o  ppid()                     returns the parent pid of this client
  o  chanusers(#channel)        returns a list of the users on this channel
  o  for()                      like c's for with the separator being , not
				;.  (hop)
  o  fe() and fec()             a replacement for recursion.  (hop)

New commands:

  o  beep                       sets a keep to the terminal
  o  rbind function             shows the keys bound to 'function'
  o  stack action list arg      'action' is either push or pop. list is one
				of 'on', 'alias', 'assign', 'bind', or 'set'.
				only 'on' is implimented currently
  o  window remove nick         the opposite of window add.
  o  window number num          changes the refnum of a window, forcing a
				swap if so needed.
  o  abort			drops a core file, and a saved file (hop).

Fix commands:

  o  set help_window            now works.
  o  dcc close send nick file   no longer requires the full path for 'file'.

Changed commands:

  o  userhost [nicks] -cmd      now accepts any number of nicks.
  o  save [-all] [...]          save 'all' values, or any part.  valid parts
				are: bind, 
  o  clear -unhold		as well as clearing the screen, it also
				unholds one screen.  same as the binding
				clear_screen

New scripts:

  o  newaway                    does 'set show_away_once on' in scripts and
				with as many nicks as you want
  o  uhnotify                   gives userhost with the notify list.  works
				much better with the new userhost syntax.
  o  complete, compl.mods       tcsh-like complete scripts.  see script for
				more information.
  o  imap                       creates an irc map.  see script for more info.

Changed scripts:

  o  2.8script
  o  finger
  o  newformat
  o  netsplit

New variables:

  o  realname                   changs the value of your 'realname', for
				the next time you change server.
  o  notify_handler             three values.  'noisy', 'quiet', and 'old'
				old makes /notify work like it did for 2.2,
				'noisy'  and 'quiet' make it work on a lot
				more events.  join/quit/message/etc trigger
				the notify, the difference being that 'quiet'
				won't show these extra differences, where as
				'noisy' will.  they both add/remove` the
				name to the internal 'notified' list.

Other things:

  o  redirect works much better.  it doesn't 'catch' things it shouldn't in
     most cases.
  o  ctcp flooding is handled better.
  o  on dcc_raw dcc close works.
  o  all dcc messages go to level dcc
  o  level all contains 'dcc' again.
  o  lots and lots and logs of bug fixes
  o  gnu 'autoconf'ified.
  o  if you add #define DYNAMIC_SLIP, you don't need to restart ircii
     for it to notice the ip number of the local machine has changed.
