Added proper support for unicode time stamps and log filenames so that
non-English ones work correctly (e.g. Non-ASCII days of the week now
work, such as Cyrillic).
Fixed a few text printing bugs when running in Spanish. Please report if
there are still some remaining problems.
Handle gracefully plugins that try to execute commands with invalid UTF-8.
Improved handling of irc:// links from web browser, as not to make
another connection unless absolutely necessary.
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.
