EPIC

EPIC5-2.0 was released on February 13, 2016

EPIC5-1.1.10 (commit id 1798) was released April 13, 2014. (The release of EPIC5-1.1.9 was withdrawn because of a serious bug.) The changes include:

• An $encodingctl() function which gives low-level control over /ENCODING rules.
• The $fix_width() function, which never worked quite as advertised, has now been written so it does.
• Most string manipulation functions are fully UTF8 aware, and the basic unit of counting is a single codepoint.
• /XTYPE -L, $[num]var (pad/truncate) and /FEC are all UTF-8 aware
• Case sensitivity is UTF8 aware, which means things like == and $rmatch() will work even for non-English text (if your locale supports this)
• For the most part, substantially all of the scripting environment is fully UTF-8 enabled. yay!

EPIC5-1.1.8 (commit id 1775) was released on April 4, 2014. The changes include:

• Complete UTF-8 support, both for the console, scripts, and for messages sent/received via IRC.
• Unlimited ability to recode messages in any encoding to/from IRC.
• 256 color support.
• String manipulation functions (like $mid() and $split()) are fully UTF-8 aware.
• Lots of other things!

EPIC4-2.10.5 (commit id 779) was released on March 31, 2014. This change is full support for Maildir, contributed by Jari Turkia (thanks!)

EPIC4-2.10.4 (commit id 778) was released on February 11, 2014. The changes include:

• A new script “unicode” from |Rain|
• Fixed support for $(IP) from EPIC5 for the convenience of FreeBSD porters.
