  3. CIRCAPI .01-Alpha (pre-release) Snapshot
    4. 

  4. 

  5. HOW TO COMPILE:
    6. 

  6. 

  7. make circapi && make raw_irc_example && make circapi_client
    8. 

  8. 

  9. HOW TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR MODIFICATIONS:
    10. 

  10. 

  11. send a modification request to dmolieri@users.sourceforge.net along with the
    12. 

  12. verbosely commented code and purpose. Keep in mind, I have no official contributors
    13. 

  13. right now, so I change major things at will, if you choose to add a modification or
    14. 

  14. bug fix or apply something, it's important you notify me so I can impliment the changes
    15. 

  15. before I change everything on you! :)
    16.

  17. Developer Notes-
    18. 

  18. 

  19. This is not a revision of circapi, this is an extension of .01-Alpha with new features added
    20. 

  20. and fewer bugs, more-so a snapshot than a release since I have so much yet incomplete.
    21. 

  21. 

  22. I started on the official circapi client, this is more than a raw IRC client but still very raw
    23. 

  23. in its current state. The only non-raw commands it accepts are COMMAND QUIT and COMMAND FORCEQUIT.
    24. 

  24. 

  25. I felt it prudent to upload my progress simply because the origional circapi release was buggy and
    26. 

  26. was put together so quickly I feel it's hardly professional, comparing the origional release to this
    27. 

  27. snapshot you can see what all I've done (and I have done a lot) however, this particular client
    28. 

  28. does not yet support channel & user handling.
    29. 

  29. 

  30. The CIRCAPI client will be converted into a function called irc_client(). It will (in the dispatch
    31. 

  31. process) call several virtual functions (pointers-to-functions) to make this API and client
    32. 

  32. more modular for novice developers. This is the concept I have gone with since it seems most
    33. 

  33. applicable to this sort of client.
    34. 

  34. 

  35. It will reside in a seperate object file and have its own header (so advanced developers can
    36. 

  36. keep it out of there code when they don't need it).
    37. 

  37. 

  38. I have no excuse for my lack of progress, I've been enjoying life unplugged too much. Also
    39. 

  39. working overtime (which is welcome right now!) and working on a load of side projects.

  49. Thank you for your support and trying out my first developer-oriented personal GPL project to date.
    50. 

  50. With the enjoyment I have gotten out of writing this project so far, I have a strong feeling I will
    51. 

  51. persue others as well.
