New Features
/say and death messages can be shown in the main channel, if enabled in the config
IRC modes now have configurable prefixes and suffixes (set in messages.yml). You will also have to update lines in messages.yml (like irc-message) to include %PREFIX% and %SUFFIX% accordingly
Regex filter for what messages show in the staff channel (these must include .+ on the end)
Say and death message colouring can be toggled in the config (note: /say is not natively capable of custom colour codes, and will therefore remove them)
Sending messages from ingame to IRC shows contents
PluginMetrics - if you do not want this, enable opt-out in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml
Added some new debug codes for messages you normally see - if something goes on, we need them
Fixes
Compatible with 1.5.1 (not that 1.0 wasn't)
Formatting codes now work everywhere
When a player is kicked, it now shows a kick message instead of a disconnect with 'Kick' as the reason
Sometimes running commands in the staff channel or kicking a player from IRC would freeze the server - this will no longer happen
The staff channel now has full console permissions
The player list now uses Minecraft colour codes
The 'ingame suffix' is no longer shown to players when you mention them - this can be disabled in the config
Players are no longer given multiple IRC modes - it was unnecessary, but if you prefer the old functionality edit the config
Note: If this is the first time you are trying this plugin, be sure to copy over the provided config.yml and messages.yml, as they do not correctly generate yet.
Known caveats
Standalone server allows infinite connections from one location
Standalone server will error when someone disconnects from IRC
Standalone will not respond to PING, some clients will complain that there is lag, even though there is none
The config file is not always read (could be a standalone issue)
When initially linking, if players are already online, they will not be ranked based on permissions
If an IRC username is already in use, the player will use their ID, which is an alphanumerical string
Some console commands will not show responses in the staff channel - the LagMeter plugin is a good example
IRC messages can only be a certain length - currently staff messages are limited to 299 characters
In some cases /whois on a player (from IRC) doesn't respond
When linking, usually all IRC users are listed ingame as connecting
