This project is for the JAVA version of DFBnc (Read below for delphi/pascal)

HistoryDFBnc was originally an IRC Bouncer written in Delphi. It compiled on Linux (FreePascal) and windows (using both Delphi and FreePascal).

DFBNC Was originally licensed under the ZLIB License, unfortunately this version had a number of bugs in it, and is no longer available.

NowDue to issues with the code and random other things, the decision was taken to completely rewrite DFBnc (for the 2nd time), and rather than relying on external librarys (lsocket and wsocket) and having to test on 3 compilers and work around the various differences in compilers/platforms by hand it was decided to be rewriten in Java, with the rock-solid IRC Parser from DMDirc] powering it.

CompatabilityConfig files between the 2 versions are not compatible with each other, due to the config-directory structure used by dfbnc-java.

External FilesDFBnc makes use of files from other projects, which are automatically downloaded when using svn. The projects used are: # DMDirc (irc parser) # DF Libs (cliparser and logger)

All 3 of the used parts are coded by me, but are part of other projects I am a developer for.
