This release is the result of several months of testing, debugging, and improving. It includes Perl scripting support, drag and drop toolbar editing, better Unicode support (adaptive decoding engines and very flexible charset settings), an "Instant-Messenger-like" notifier window, a status bar with applets, micryption support, DCC bandwidth limits, and several scripting engine enhancements including translation capabilities and dcop communication calls.

I used standard configure and one generated by autogen.sh. Any helpful ideas?

- List of IRC server
- DCC send/recv
- DCC chat
- Retrieve the list of channels
- Listen to channel
- Send to channel
- Listen to some user
- Send to some user

The goal would be to have a central set of QObject or similar widget to provide different kinds of GUI or user interface for the IRC protocol.

Now I just need to get busy and learn the scripting language so I can set up the same type things I was using in mIRC. :)

I prefer the most recent version of Kvirc (beta3, apparently) or a very powerful IRC client. I had "Danger Script" under Windows (version of mIRC, in a sense) I want tiling function, and scripts for "sending flowers" etc.

The best native IRC app for KDE
in terms of functionality IMHO. Unfortunately two things are
bothering me:
1) The looks: This app really looks
like sh**. This is not just a nuisance
but a major usability concern.
Who can use all those weird looking
icons?? Why didn't they just use the
crystal icons? For many functions
a good replacement is available.
2) Non-Standard KDE behaviour:
Why can't I configure the toolbar
and keys like in any other KDE app?
3) A stupid bug is keeping me from
using this app and still using mIRC
via WINE: The media types settings
are extremely buggy. Whenever I
download sth. via DCC the assigned
app isn't run though I entered it
in the settings page.
4) There is no need for "Save Settings". It's rather confusing
when you change settings click on
*OK*(!!) and after a restart of
your app the settings are gone.
Not very user-friendly.
Well, these are the obvious things.
And they would be very easy to fix.
I always find it quite strange when
so many hours of hard work go into an
application and the programmers don't
seem to care the slightest bit if it's
looking professional usability-wise.

Wrong. I use kvirc too and i costumize it and it looks very nice.

CVS use hase new icons... the shots on homepage are old...
for example... here is a shot:

This is possible...

The use of wine is a bad thing (If you can have a native app!).
Please submit bugs via bugtrack (http://bugtrack.kvirc.omnikron.net)
There is also a mailing list: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=mailinglist

Wrong. If you click ok the settings will be quickly applied.

I prefer to use the cvs and update it from time to time. (A release date for kvirc 3 is not planned yet but i think its ready ;) )
Feel free to visit us on irc.freenode.net or IRCnet at #kvirc.

you made is an example of a
well-designed good-looking UI?????
Ummm, OK, fortunately the rest of KDE
doesn't look that way.
Sheesh...
Some things are just beyond me.
