Added a German translation provided by No_se. Fixes #614.
PURPOSE
This
plugin
was
developed
to
enhance
the
usability
of
the
IRC
protocol
in
Pidgin
.
See
the
PHILOSOPHY
file
for
more
details
.
COMPATIBILITY
This
plugin
is
designed
for
Pidgin
2.0.0
and
later
.
It's
developed
as
a
plugin
for
libpurple
,
so
it
should
work
in
other
libpurple-based
clients
such
as
Finch
and
even
Adium
,
but
this
has
not
been
tested
.
NOTE:
This
plugin
may
not
compile
with
old
versions
of
GTK
+
or
glib
.
If
that's
important
to
you
,
please
file
a
feature
request
with
a
copy
of
the
compiler
errors
you
get
when
attempting
to
build
the
plugin
.
This
plugin
has
(
at
some
point
)
been
tested
on
the
following
networks:
DALnet
FreeNode
GameSurge
Jeux
(
by
BNI
on
irc
.
freenode
.
net
)
QuakeNet
SlashNET
(
by
uilleann
@users
.
sf
.
net
)
Undernet
If
it
doesn't
work
on
these
networks
,
please
file
that
as
a
bug
.
It
may
work
with
other
networks
.
Users
are
encouraged
to
report
networks
that
it
works
on
and
to
request
support
for
other
networks
.

USAGE
Once
you
have
the
plugin
installed
,
activate
it
(
Tools
->
Plugins
).
All
of
the
options
are
customized
on
a
per
account
basis
(
see
Accounts
-> [
an
IRC
account
]
->
Edit
Account
->
Advanced
).
The
plugin
suppresses
lots
of
useless
messages
with
no
configuration
.
However
,
a
few
features
require
configuration
.
The
options
currently
available
are:
Auth
name:
Set
a
username
to
use
when
authenticating
to
AuthServ
.
If
an
auth
name
is
not
set
,
the
account's
screen
name
(
i
.
e
.
the
IRC
nickname
)
is
used
instead
.
This
is
normally
what
you
want
anyway
.
This
option
is
only
necessary
if
your
nickname
and
AuthServ
username
differ
.
NOTE:
This
only
applies
to
networks
that
use
an
AuthServ
.
It
does
not
apply
to
those
using
a
NickServ
,
as
all
currently
supported
implementations
of
NickServ
have
no
concept
of
a
auth
username
.
Nick
password:
Set
a
password
to
use
when
authenticating
to
AuthServ
,
NickServ
or
Q (for QuakeNet)
.
SECURITY
NOTE:
Do
not
set
a
nick
password
on
any
network
(
other
than
those
listed
above
as
supported
networks
)
that
doesn't
use
NickServ
for
authentication
or
you
could
expose
your
credentials
to
a
user
impersonating
NickServ
.
Disconnect
ghosts
(
Duplicate
nicknames
):
Disconnect
duplicate
copies
of
your
nickname
.
Typically
,
this
is
used
to
kill
ghosted
usernames
.
A
username
is
referred
to
as
"ghosted"
when
your
connection
to
the
IRC
server
is
disconnected
,
but
the
server
hasn't
noticed
yet
.
When
this
option
is
activated
and
the
plugin
notices
your
username
immediately
after
signing
on
is
different
than
the
nickname
set
on
the
account
,
it
will
ask
NickServ
to
kill
your
(
regular
)
nickname
,
wait
for
NickServ
to
report
the
nickname
was
killed
,
and
then
change
your
nickname
to
what
it
should
be
.
NOTE:
This
is
currently
not
supported
on
QuakeNet
.

to
imply
that
the
Q
bot
does
not
provide
the
ability
to
disconnect
ghosted
usernames
.
Operator
password:
Set
a
password
to
use
to
become
an
IRCop
.
This
will
issue
the
following
IRC
command
on
signon:
OPER
