HISTORY:

Added "|" to default character conversion for "l".
Fixed "Queue/Send Replies" not working with character conversion.

Improved multi-network support. Added "New RFN Window" menu item for different networks. Option window is no longer dependent on network.
Changed parsing routine for regular and XDCC triggers to use regular expressions. Should be faster and hopefully more accurate.

RFN no longer automatically send "Help" command to an Fserve if the Fserve replies "Invalid command." to "clr_queues" command.
Added "Auto-Send Dir Command" option.
Added a timer that sends the "Dir" command in 15 seconds (by default) if the Fserve does not respond to "C" or "S" after prompting for message continuation.
Added a timer that considers an Fserve has finished listing if the Fserve remains silent during directory listing for 15 seconds.
Added "No Response Delay" option.
If you start an IQueue after reaching the "Max Queue per Fserve" number set for that Fserve, queuing will continue until no more files can be queued. When the Fserve is closed, the new "Max Queue per Fserve" is saved to that Fserve's IQueue (if still present).

During automated IQueue processing, if a trigger try was aborted because you used the trigger less than 60 seconds ago, RFN will try again in 60 seconds.
Closing an Fserve no longer clears the Fserve message box.
When an Fserve is closed, RFN now checks to see if your queue history is empty but IQueue is not. RFN will try to queue the files in the IQueue every 1800 seconds (30 minutes), up to a maximum of 8 times (a successful connection resets try count to 0).

Bughunt for help in improving the interface in v3.5, and bug hunting in v3.5 and v3.2, such as the bug with not clearing directory list when entering Dir command manually in Fserve DCC window, suggestion for marked Fserves/groups, problems with Syris and Brunnis Fserves, Say It not working, etc. Also for his many suggestions for improvements, like search within cache, automatic keep after manual entry of Fserve data, a search function in the Fserves list.

I want to thank the following people, who have all helped RFN improve since its initial release:

[MDMAN] and |Van-sama| on DALnet, as well as everyone else who's recommending RFN to other people. :)
0 . for suggesting the option of catching only voiced nicks.
bobp, Bob Nod, and Teleflip for suggesting the internal queue.
klona and Teleflip for pointing out the inability to change "Close Fserve Delay in IQueue".
|AU|-Magus for suggestion of Auto-Focus to Fserves Tab option.
A. Leonard for suggesting an option to hide the mIRC DCC window.
B. Elliot for his suggestions of: 1) accessing an Fserve by double-clicking on a File History entry, and 2) having commands to DCCAllow Fserves.
bobp for informing me of RFN v2.5 not working on certain servers. Turned out that RFN v2.5 does not work on servers with no network information. Also thanks for his suggestion of showing each file's Fserve name when doing an All listing in File History. Thanks for pointing out the bug with directory names that contain only numbers and operators getting evaluated as equations.
__Clint__ for pointing out the bug of saving IQueues of nicks containing the illegal file character |, and for suggesting a button to run more than one IQueue at once.
D. Glover for telling me about his script -=DBS=-, which supports multiple drives on Fserves (http:\\www.derben.com).
diZLeXiK_ for suggesting to show DCCAllow listings in the RFN-Status window.
Drizzt for suggesting an option to turn off the RFN ID message.
epl for suggesting a "Save All" function for IQueues.
GSRSupra on EFnet for suggesting word wrap for the status window in Fserves tab.
Hoax_69 for suggesting a feature to only accept files from Fserves with queued files.
J. Fish and Teleflip for suggesting a window size larger than the original large window in v2.7, so that Fserves with very long names for files and directories can be navigated more easily.
J. Gardner for his suggestion of an Fserve directory cache, and for telling me that the Large Window mode is too big for the 800x600 resolution.
J. Ng for suggesting scheduled IQueues.
J. T. Page for suggesting options to turn off Status Messages and Automatic Dir Command.
Johan for suggesting an auto-voice add-on.
klona for suggesting a function to remove all queued, failed or received entries from a network in File History.
rene for suggesting a function to import file list into IQueue.
s h for suggesting ad suppression from the channel window.
Saxtus for providing me with many suggestions, like automatic save of IQueues on quit, larger welcome message windows, the Auto-Stop Welcome Message option and defaulting filenames to appropriate names in saves.
S. Johnson for pointing out that the RFN directory in v2.7 and earlier cannot have spaces in the name.
K. Lo for suggesting having a separate window for displaying results from the Read command.
LeTrekkerFou for suggesting support for triggers that have queue stats embedded within them.
M for letting me know which latest version of RFN he found still worked with mIRC v5.82 (RFN v2.4).
M_F for suggesting support for XDCC.
oOo-jazz for providing me with ideas on the automatic DCCAllow system using his DCCAllow script.
Orphis for pointing out the bug where directories with names like "K" and "B" are thought by RFN to be files 1 kb in size.
Paul for suggesting support for "/ctcp channel !List".
T. Scout for suggesting to let the user set how many times to retry queuing when empty queue.
Teleflip for suggesting a "Timer" button for each Fserve, an alert for new Fserves found, Connect button for Cache tab, different modes for sorting Fserves, and for pointing out the Anti-idle/IQueue bug where the anti-idle would prevent the Fserve from ever closing while RFN is processing the IQueue.
Thundercloud on DALnet for reminding me to provide support for Fserves that do not show directory names in all capitals.
Toby Win98SE for suggesting ability to run files directly from the File History.
TooSlow on DALnet for letting me know about the bug for the All buttons in v2.7, and for suggesting support for multiple-drive Fserves that use the !drive# command. Also thanks to TooSlow for pointing out various bugs in v3.0 like sound selection, Max Queue per Fserve option, and reget "did" error. TooSlow suggested support for Drive commands in IQueue.
V. Schreidlocke for telling me about Fserves that don't respond to "C" or "S" after prompting for message continuation.
Everyone else who emailed me with comments/encouragements/etc.
