X-Chat 2.X

2003-02-15 12:39:15

Some irc.xiph.org users are using X-Chat client. Some days ago 2.0.0 has been relased (I`m waiting for final Windows binary).

How do You think? It is good client? Are there better ones (for Windows)?

It's the IRC client I use in Linux.

In Windows, the 1.8.x versions were a little unstable. It'll be interesting to see if 2.x (which has switched to a newer version of the underlying toolkit GTK) is any more stable.

I'm using X-Chat 1.8.11 right now - pretty nice.

The last time I tested xchat2 it was pretty buggy.

It's my main IRC client under both Windows and Linux and I never had any problems with it.

i use 2.x for windoze for some time now, crashed only once so far, and it is my #1 since 1.8.something, not becouse of the features, it is more about that it looks like good old amirc  .
