About
Bip is an IRC proxy, which means it keeps connected to your preferred IRC servers, can store the logs for you, and even send them back to your IRC client(s) upon connection. You may want to use bip to keep your logfiles (in a unique format and on a unique computer) whatever your client is, when you connect from multiple workstations, or when you simply want to have a playback of what was said while you were away.
News (or not)
2008-10-24: bip 0.7.5 “But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” released. Halfop handling fixed, and a shameful segfault. The segfault may be exploitable by clients, but only after successful login. Please upgrade.

2008-04-02: bip 0.7.1 “hot mama” released. Contains a configuration validation fix, and a memory leak fix.
2008-02-16: bip 0.7.0 “birthday party” released. The good stuff: sighup support, /bip reload should also work now.

Lots of new backlog options, some of which can now be set per user instead of globally. And a few fixes on top of that.
