IRC Client Library 7.0.0 released!

14 Mar 2019

Version 7.0.0 of the Kitteh IRC Client Library has been released!

It sure did! Some more breaking changes were necessary to make coding easier for Twitch users.

Both of these will receive fixes through June solstice. The breaking changes in these releases haven't been that big.

Message Tags!
- Commands now can be sent with message tags.
- Added new commands for sending messages (PRIVMSG, NOTICE, TAGMSG) to take advantage of tags support.
- Message tags can now be acquired via event.getTag() or getTags() for most events.
Custom channel/user modes can be added to ServerInfo, for servers that don't list all their modes.
ISUPPORT gets some love:
- New ISupportParameterEvent for each ISUPPORT parameter acquired.
- Added new ISUPPORT interfaces:
- ELIST, EXCEPTS, EXTBAN, HOSTLEN, INVEX, MAXTARGETS, SILENCE, STATUSMSG, USERLEN.
- From the modern IRC docs this only means two remain
  - MAXLIST and TARGMAX.
  - Click the above to go to the relevant issues for input on how to best support them.
- Every ISUPPORT parameter continues to be supported, just without convenience interfaces/methods.

Sanity's notNull verifier now takes the possibly-null object name as the second parameter instead of the message to send.
Renamed getOriginalMessage() and getOriginalMessages() to getSource() to be more clear about what they are.
Batch and Connection events are moved to their own package.
Events are now by default containing a single source message, since most events are really triggered by such.
- This allows for making message tags more accessible for most events.
- The handful of events that come from multiple messages are now treated separately for storing source messages.
