Version 0.7.9 of quIRC
Release Notes: This release consists mainly of bugfixes, including some backported from openSUSE. The problems with the gitless source tarball (due to version number magic) are now fixed, as is a bug where /sort would leave a different tab selected, and an edge case where tabs could be rendered with zero width. There are also a couple of new features: Conference Mode (/set conf +) hides joins, parts, quits, etc. (which is useful for busy channels), and messages beginning with "/" can now be sent with "//".
Other releases
Release Notes: This is primarily a bugfix release. UTF-8 glitches in the input bar have been fixed, and cursors and backspace now handle UTF-8 correctly. A double-free crash (Bug #18) has been fixed. Some documentation has been updated. The Makefile has been partially cleaned up.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the 'netsplit merge' feature: when merging more than two lines, only the last two were shown.
Release Notes: This release fixes a few bugs (mainly cosmetic) and adds merging of join/part/quit messages. For example, a series of consecutive joins will get merged into a single line like this: "=foo=bar=baz= have joined #metasyntactic". This is particularly useful in the event of netsplits. One problem to note is that of timestamps; the timestamp shown will be that of the most recent join (or part, or quit) in the merged block. As a workaround, quIRC refuses to merge lines whose timestamps differ by more than 5 seconds (this should be a long enough time to capture an entire netsplit event).
Release Notes: This release fixes several minor UI bugs, such as escaping backslashes during tab completion and the accidental bolding of the input line. It also fixes an error in logging which caused unprintables to be written as "\377777777" instead of "\377" if the char was signed.
Release Notes: This is chiefly a bugfix release. Many of the fixes pertain to portability, including fixes for a swathe of issues with building on musl libc. Several UI papercuts have been fixed. Makefile handling of the build configuration has been improved. Documentation has been extended with a man page and a tutorial. A logging feature has been added, with two log formats (plain and symbolic).
