General notes for the 2.1.1 release of the KVIrc IRC client

###############################################################################

- Installation

The installation instructions are in the INSTALL file.
Other documentation can be found in the doc subdirectory.

- New features

This release is mainly a bugfix one. You can check out the
changes in the ChangeLog file.

- KDE Support

The KDE support is implemented only to a certain degree.
We hope to provide a better KDE support in version 3.0.0
To take advantage of the KDE libraries you have to add --with-kde-support
to the configure commandline.
Give it a try :)

- Reporting problems

You are encouraged to "mess" with all the KVIrc options and features,
and to report bugs and misbehaviours to the author.
Anyway , before reporting a bug , ask yourself if it can be caused
by some other part of your system: KVIrc uses many external libraries
and (as all programs) relies on a correct system behaviour.
Make sure that the libraries you use are the correct ones (!!!).

- Contents of a good bug report:

- A gdb backtrace in case of a segfault.
	The more gdb info you send , the biggest is the possibility
	for me to find the problem and maybe a solution.
- A detailed description (read : procedure) to reproduce the bug
	Obviously if possible...
- All informations on your system that you think that may be
	related to KVIrc and to the problem itself.

To enable the gdb debugging you must compile kvirc with
the --with-debug-symbols configure option.

Have fun :)
