Announcing QtIRC 0.20 Beta 2
The next best thing since sliced IRC!
** RELEASED UNDER GPL **
What it is:
QtIRC is a new, revolutionary, graphically based IRC client for X
Windows and Unix users. QtIRC has been designed over a period of many
months, and has maintained a rather large following over its development
period.
As this program is still a beta, I ask if you download the source, that
you give a bug report, or at least an opinion as to how the interface or
parts of the program may be changed.
Requirements:
QtIRC requires Qt 1.2 and LibKDE 0.8 to compile.
Qt 1.2 is available at http://www.troll.no/
LibKDE 0.8 is available at http://www.kde.org/
Features include (newest listed first):
- KDE library requirement

aiding in Boldface, underline, and italics.)
- DCC Get implemented with progress meter and a number of extras
- The only multi-protocol Chat client
- Load/save configuration file on the fly
- Calls on KDEHELP for help if required (KDE-Aware application)

with easy manipulation
- IRC Operator command listing and menu (only client that does this!)
- Content-sensitive popup menus in nickname list, input entry area,
and main chat area
- Chat Channel logging
- Help on the fly through Netscape, or KDEHELP
- Dynamic window resizing with minimum/maximum sizing
- Query windows with menubar access to convert query to DCC Chat or
send files
- Ignore support of nicknames
- DALnet support of mode chars (g, y, and c are parsed)
- Notify support
- DCC GET support with multiple windows, slider-track and progress
meter
- Support for multiple architectures
- QtIRC now requires the KDE Support library to compile
- HTML Widget used for browsing and chatting (lets you type in HTML on
the fly - believe it!)
- DCC Progress meter now shows bytes/sec if it ever drops below 1K/s
- Conversion program provided to change mIRC .ini files to QtIRC
format files
- Configuration script included to auto-configure your system's
architecture for makefile
- Multiple server supportOptions to be made available in Beta 3:

Whois, Whowas, Links, Ping, Onotice, Snotice
