Release just the message · 9001/r0c

still supports python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3 through 3.12 (at least)

new features

command /v and hotkey ctrl-n hides nicknames, shows message text fullscreen
- wordwraps made obvious by making the first character on each line bright-white
- good for copypasting a configfile that somebody pasted into the channel
commands /by and /bn replaced with /b1 and /b0 (plus some new ones)
- /b3 beeps on every single message in any channel
- /b2 beep every time someone mentions your name in any channel
- /b1 beep on mention, but not in the active channel (default)
- /b0 disables all audible alerts
admin-command /bc broadcasts a message to all clients
powershell client can connect over TLS
- but no certificate validation because MS made that way too difficult
- also handles ctrl-c correctly, and sets window title
9be828b performance improvements
- comfortably 750 messages per second with 600 connected users, or 350/s with 1000u, gets jank after that
pressing ctrl-c in the config wizard now means disconnect
- replaces the server shutdown shortcut which was a bit too dangerous

a31bf29 noticeable latency (0.4 sec) before messages appeared on other clients
- bug is technically still there (cheap basic scheduling) but now it's just 0.1 sec
fix buggy seen-message tracking
- timestamps would double-render on join (bandwidth waste, especially on modems)
- switching between channels using commands would clear unseen-message indicators
- the fix unfortunately disables the enter-key as a quick way to clear the markers intentionally; use backspace instead
disable reuseaddr on windows because you can accidentally launch multiple instances

⭐️ you probably want r0c.py below;
the zip and tar.gz files are source code
(python packages are available at PyPI)
