todos:

• automate it
• smart match on /format changes
• use the new feature to implement server_time
• what to do about expandos? now they are lost/reevaluated
• fix/hide it from buf.pl
• tighten up code when removing lines (e.g from perl)

cool:

• change nick width on the fly
• test themes

Great work! That's a shitload of code you've produced :)

to test, run /scrollback redraw

discussion from irc

• reimplement glib code, do not require newer glib
• design doesn't work, wastes 2x the memory (instead: need to avoid storing rendered lines)

I think a design that only stores a limited, tiny amount of lines also wouldn't need reimplementing glib stuff, as a bunch of strdup wouldn't hurt in that case
