IRC Client – bugfix

Hi there!

The internet connection is so pityful today, that I had a chance (and I’m still having:( ) to “properly” test the dccautoresume feature. And as it turned out, it was a bit broken. But it’s fixed now:). New code is already on 4shared.

The major feature I’m still missing – automatic reconnecting to irc server and rejoining channel – is still somewhere on the roadmap. But connection with bots breaks so much more often than connection with irc server that it’s not something that I need ASAP.

BTW >> I just learned that ruby Timeout is… not reliable. Well, to put it short, it suffers from the same problem as my irc client under windows – “green threads”, which reside within a single native thread, can all be hung by a single one of them. However, the apparent solution – SystemTimer – is not so easy to install. Well, yeah, it’s just a gem, so installation should be a piece of cake. Still, it didn’t work for me, maybe my ruby installation is roken. But then again – so far Timeout works for me under linux, so it’s not a problem…

See you!
