/me wishes his laptop wasn't in for repairs, or this would be an immediate download...
Thanks
I've been looking forward to this release.
Why...
Why this PChat thing? What's wrong with XChat-2?
Multiple Issues
XChat for Windows is not open source. It contains shareware registration code merged in with the GPL (without permission of all code copyright-holders, in violation of the GPL). So, XChat is neither Free (as in Free Open Source Software) nor free. PChat, on the other hand, is both Free and free.
He was talking about XChat-2
He was talking about XChat-2 which is the silverex build.
@Billy
silverex's build isn't updated very often. there were other issues, but i can't think of them right now.
Really?
Actually, I've found it very reliable. But I suppose the updates are pretty slow.
