Included a mIRC compatible DCC server. Enable via /dccserver command.
This allows you to download from certain bots that tell you to execute
the \"/dccserver +sc 59\" command. Don\'t forget to disable it when you\'re
done with \"/dccserver off\".
The builtin identd(authentication) server now supports IPv6.
The Python plugin now works with the official Python-2.4 release
available at http://www.python.org/2.4/. It is not compatible with
ActivePython from ActiveState.
The Ban List window now lists Ban-Exemptions too.
XChat now handles theme changes in Windows-XP more gracefully.
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.
