XChat is now fully Unicode enabled when running on Windows 2000/XP,
which allows you to use file and folder names with non-ASCII
characters, even when those characters don\'t exist in your current
regional setting\'s language. Specifically, this works in:
DCC files and receive folder name.
The DCC completed folder (the MoveFile routine is unicode enabled).

Added experimental commands: /GUI TILE and /GUI UNTILE.
Shrunk minigtk.dll by ~16 KB.
Fixed display of realname in the nick-name right-click menu when
it contains a \'&\' character [1403069].
Added support for UniBG\'s nickserv.
Show help when using wrong args for /DCC, instead of silence.
Support receiving 2048 bytes per line from server and dcc-chat, so we
can support 512 UTF-8 characters that some servers now send.
Fixed a conflict with UltraEdit that could lead to crashes if you had
upgraded UltraEdit from version 11 to 12.
About:
X-Chat, commonly written XChat or xchat, is one of the most popular IRC clients for Unix-like systems. It is also available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X (via an offshoot of the project, called X-Chat Aqua, which keeps in sync with the main development branch and is much more popular than the official version maintained by the Fink project).
It has a choice of a tabbed or tree interface, support for multiple servers, and a high level of configurability. Both command line and graphical versions are available, although use of the graphical version far outweighs use of the command line version.
