Update XChat For Linux and Unix Available

X-Chat 2.8.4 for Linux/Unix was released July 01.

2.84 features moveable components to different positions on the application. Other changes and a video of the moveable components after the jump.

  • Updated translations (cs, de, ko, mk, sv, vi).
  • System-Tray balloons now get the xchat icon instead of a generic one.
  • Fixed the notify-send zombies (released as xc282-fixtrayzombies.diff).
  • Fixed underscore ('_') in real names in the nick-name right-click menu being drawn as a underline.
  • ut2004:// URLs are now underlined too.
  • /set gui_tray_flags 4 will now enable a "Minimize to tray" feature. Clicking the window minimize button will minimize to tray instead of the task-bar.
  • Fixed bug: [1680762] Notify fails if network name contains spaces.
  • Extended tclConfig.sh search paths so it hopefully works on Ubuntu now.
  • Added a feature that reloads conversations from last time you used XChat (type /set text_replay 0 to disable it).
  • Fixed /LASTLOG printing everything twice if you had Indented Nicks off.
  • The CTRL-F keybinding (Find) is now disabled when using Emacs keys.
  • Added /SET gui_tweaks. See http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?p=13766
  • Fixed opening URLs on KDE that didn't begin with http:// or other protocol.
  • A better quit dialog which warns you if you're connected to IRC or have active file transfers.
  • Fixed: [1741525] Cycle selected channel (Luca Falavigna).
  • Fixed: [1737249] Doesn't recognize nicks with halfop mode on hovering.
  • The userlist and treeview can now be placed on the same side, with a resize handle in between them. They can also be dragged and dropped into place.
  • When you hide the userlist using the View menu, the resize handle now disappears too. It also disappears when you have a server tab in focus.
  • If you have a tree on one side and userlist on the other, they'll both now have a resize handle, previously the tree's size was fixed.
  • The userlist can be hidden and shown with CTRL+F7.
  • [1735116] Channel List's minimum users spin-button can now be set downward even on networks that sent a list of channels of only a larger size. In this case the Download button will flash to indicate you need to download a new list.
  • Changing the channel switcher type (Tree or Tabs) is also possible in the setup dialog.
  • The Ban List window now lists exceptions too (mode +e).
  • Script and Plugin related changes:
    • /SETTEXT with no argument now clears the input box.
    • Python: Added a xchat.strip method for stripping IRC attributes and mIRC color codes.
    • C-API and Perl: Returning 0 from a FD hook will now remove the hook and free all associated memory.
    • /MENU now supports a $CHAN root aswell (see plugin20.html).
    • Fixed GDK warning when using /MENU to add a key binding to a popup menu.
