 769940 yrc_connect_join_streamlining jfw Switch to network window on connect and channel window on join. Remove self-generated join/part info messages which route distractingly to the network window (the more useful server confirmations still show in the channel's own window and log). Send a new USER command when changing nick in the connected-unregistered state, since I found it necessary for multiple server implementations when nick is in use.
 769941 yrc_95K_rc1 Release candidate: catch up on codemap.txt updates, syncing up with the manual; lower temperature (ie bump version numbers) and update NEWS; import my old script for creating deterministic release tarballs, now updated to run on Gales.
 769941 yrc_distutils_install_workaround jfw "setup.py install" fails quietly when a pre-existing target .py file has newer timestamp than the source. This was brought to light by the timestamp zeroing of "tar --sterilize" but could arise from other causes too.
+769941 yrc_input_fixes jfw Include digits as "word" characters for word-level motions; this should bring them into full agreement with GNU Readline, and closer agreement with pdksh/gksh which also includes underscore. Ensure reset of hscroll when clearing prompt, providing the intended feel when recalling history (cf. yrc_prompt_redraw_optimization).

For instance, an old scrolling offset can "stick" even when the new input would fit in full without scrolling.
