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.

35
2009-01-25: *bip 0.8.0-rc0* @“We ain’t dead”@ released. It’s a relase candidate for 0.8.0. Some work under the hood, plus noticable changes:
36
37
* One logfile per nick for queries, instead of the messy privates.×.log. Slight log format change (now the format of the log of queries is very similar to the on used for channels).
38
* “Window”-local blreset and blreset on talk. By default the blreset_on_talk now only clears the backlog of the query you talked to or the channel you talked to. The /quote bip blreset command now can take a query name or a channel name as an argument. “/quote bip blreset” still resets the backlog of the whole network.
39
* /quote bip backlog x command where x is the number of hours will backlog x hours.

* autorejoin on kick by default. Can be disabled with the option autojoin_on_kick = false in a connection block.

* bip SSL on the client<→bip part now support Ephemeral Diffie Hellman key exchange.
