You can now optionally install OpenSSL libraries, if you prefer to use them instead of Window's own SChannel library.
Fixed a crash if you changed the channel-switcher to Hidden and then back to Top/Bottom.
Fixed a crash if you left the font-dialog open after closing the setup window.
Dropped support for Windows 98/ME. XChat now requires at least Windows 2000. This allowed some code simplification, and makes future development easier.
Added a simple "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
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.
