The botan dependency has introduced a number of breaking changes with version 3, a couple of which impact biboumi as well This patch makes biboumi compatible with botan 3 and drops support for botan 2 at the same time As a consequence of the botan dependency update, C++ version has to be upgraded to C++ 20 https://botan.randombit.net/handbook/migration_guide.html

Biboumi
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
Biboumi is an XMPP gateway that connects to IRC servers and translates
|
||
between the two protocols. It can be used to access IRC channels using any
|
||
XMPP client as if these channels were XMPP MUCs.
|
||
|
||
It is written in modern C++20 and makes great efforts to have as little
|
||
dependencies and to be as simple as possible.
|
||
|
||
The goal is to provide a way to access most of IRC features using any XMPP
|
||
client. It doesn’t however try to provide a complete mapping of the
|
||
features of both worlds simply because this is not useful and most probably
|
||
impossible. For example all IRC modes are not all translatable into an XMPP
|
||
features. Some of them are (like +m (mute) or +o (operator) modes), but
|
||
some others are IRC-specific. If IRC is the limiting factor (for example
|
||
you cannot have a non-ASCII nickname on IRC) then biboumi doesn’t try to
|
||
work around this issue: it just enforces the rules of the IRC server by
|
||
telling the user that he/she must choose an ASCII-only nickname. An
|
||
important goal is to keep the software (and its code) light and simple.
