Added a system tray icon (aka Notification Area). This is probably the
biggest feature addition in this series. Also added a /TRAY command so
scripts can manipulate the icon.
Note: If you prefer to use the X-Tray plugin, you can still do so. Just
disable XChat\'s tray icon in Settings > Preferences > Alerts.
Settings: Warn the user when trying to put the tree on the top/bottom.
Channel modes are no longer shown in the titlebar if they contain a key.
Added /GUI APPLY command, which does that same as pressing OK in the
settings window (e.g use it after /set). Mainly for scripters.
Allow changing the logging folder if the log filename is set to a full path in the settings window (e.g. starts with \"C:\").
Added \'Your Action\' text event.
Separated out /away and /back commands so it\'s obvious what they\'ll do.
Settings are now saved even if you shut-down Windows before closing XChat.
Fixed the \"Save As\" function saving to the wrong folder in the URL Grabber.
Changes to /MENU command (See plugin20.html for details):
Now works for popup menus too.
Allows creation of radio menu items.
-p arg can now to be negative to give a position offset from right/bottom.
-i arg to specify an icon file.
Plugin API:
Added \"event_text\" to xchat_get_info().
Added \"modes\" to xchat_get_info(). Returns the current channel modes, if
they are known.
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.
