Fixed two small crash bugs, one associated with creating unicode log filenames, and the other with opening URLs in your browser.
Fixed use of GB18030 and ISO-2022-JP character sets (which was a bug in 2.8.1a only).
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.
