=head1 NAME

N0i::XChat::Colors - perl plugin for Xchat

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Nifty perl script to "colorify" nicknames in xchat as you want

"Nicknames" is just a view from 10.000ft high: you can colorify whatever
you want by adding custom patterns, as the colorifying process really comes
in two steps: 
 1. when it's for sure a nickname - the first pattern that completely matches
    with this "nickname" establishes the output color
 2. general "messages" are run through the entire list of patterns (except
    the first and the last one which are defined as "special") and each can
    in turn determine colorization of some part of it

=head1 CHANGELOG

 * Tue Apr 05 2005 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> 2005040501
   - xchat 2.4.2 tweaks

 * Wed Sep 15 2004 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> 2004091501
  - more hacks on CAPAB support (xchat really sucks at these) :(
  ! IDENTIFY-CTCP really needs to be handled in some other module,
  is already way too off topic for this module to fix xchat's mumbo jumbo :(

 * Wed Jun 23 2004 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> - 2004062301
  - added support for CAPAB IDENTIFY-MSG/CTCP

 * Sun May 16 2004 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> - 2004051601
  - made use of N0i::XChat::Base
  - switched to "usual" hash based object (dropping PEVENTS and
  adding all used properties as object attributes)
  - implemented switching contexts for some print events

 * Wed May 05 2004 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> - 2004050501
  - warnings hunt

  - fixed the warning on "quit"
  
 * Fri Apr 23 2004 Marius FERARU <altblue@n0i.net> - 2004042301

  - lotta code optimization based on new available API :)
