Credits:

SmackleFunky for his poetry-like patch that added remembered searches (which, slightly modified, turned into autosearch), ignoring and PM history. Fall down on your knees and praise the all-mighty SmackleFunky!
Wretched, daelstorm and anadyr for sacrificing themselves and their computers to test my patches before you get them and giving me hints and tips on stuff I should (not) do. You should also thank or curse Wretched for the search filter help :-)
geertk for his excellent recursive directory and hostname lookup patches (although the reverse lookup has been introduced in pyslsk-1.0.0 as a standard feature) and the how-to-apply-a-patch mini-guide.
ddbsa for his excellent search filtering patch
alexbk for creating pyslsk, and keeping me sharp by making sure lots of hunks of my patch fail against any new release.

This version (1.1.2) uses the _new_ server.. So be sure to upgrade!

Added features

Regexp filter in/out. This is an advanced option you should only use if you know what regexps are. You can enable it in the Misc tab of the settings screen.
PM history (will show the last 15 lines of a conversation if loggin is enabled)
Search filtering (see new help screen)
Buttons on the user info are placed nicer
Set a fixed number of upload slots (optional of course)
Recursive directory downloading (thanks to geertk)
Command aliasing.. Create your own / commands. See below for syntaxis
GB/MB/KB filesizes in the transfers list
Locale-independant decimal separators
Configurable text colours for chats and search results
Allow people on your user list to be scheduled for uploads ahead of regular users (see the transfers tab in the settings dialog)

Command aliasing

This patch will allow you to create your own / commands.

Examples:
/alias np np: |(cat /tmp/xmms-info | grep "Title: " | sed "s/Title: //")
This will create a new /np command which you can use in chat windows. It will parse the XMMS Info-Pipe plugin file. And show something like np: Ivory Frequency - Dancing Troops

/alias slap /me slaps $(1) with $(2:)
This will create a new /slap command. $(1) means "first parameter after the command", $(2:) means "second parameter and everything after that". So /slap hyriand a cannonball would be expanded to /me slaps hyriand with a cannonball.

/alias slap /me slaps $(1=himself) with $(2:=a cannonball)
Same as above, but with default values for the parameters...

/alias run |($@)
Inside a pipe |( ), you can use $@ to be expanded to all arguments given to the /command.. So /run uptime will print your current uptime to the chat. You can also use $1, $2, etc...

To display all aliases currently configured, type:
/alias
To show the definition of the "slap" alias, type:
/alias slap
To delete the "slap" alias, type:
/unalias slap

Applying the patch

1. When running from a source tarball:

cd /usr/local/src/pyslsk-1.1.0
patch -p1 < /the/path/to/pyslsk-1.1.0-hyriand-X.patch

And that's all.

2. When running an installed version (e.g. rpm or deb):

logged in as root do:

cd /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
patch -p1 < /the/path/to/pyslsk-1.1.0-hyriand-X.patch

When that's done pyslsk should be started as root once to get the appropiate .pyc files in place. You won't have permissions to generate them when not running as root.

On debian the path will be "/usr/lib/site-python" instead of "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages" (Red Hat/Mandrake/Gentoo).
