Konversation(Chat)
Konversation is a user-friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client made by KDE. --- What's new --- [b]1.7-rc1:[/b] Konversation v1.7-rc1 is the first release candidate for the next major version of Konversation. The focus of the v1.7 release is on greatly expanded protocol support, with newly-added support for many more IRC v3 extensions and the much-requested support for SASL EXTERNAL and 'server-time'. Many bugfixes and cleanups along with reinstated features initially lost in the first Frameworks 5-based release series v1.6.x are included as well. Finally, the handbook has been thoroughly refreshed in this release and building on Mac and Windows has seen several fixes. [b]1.6.2:[/b] Konversation 1.6.2 is a hotfix release that fixes an unfortunate severe crash condition that crept into 1.6.1. [b]1.6.1:[/b] Konversation 1.6.1 is a maintenance release that contains various bug fixes for the stable KDE Frameworks 5-based version of Konversation. [b]1.6:[/b] Konversation 1.6 is the first stable release of Konversation built on the new KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 library sets, improving integration into many desktop environments, including Plasma Desktop 5, and adding first support for hi-dpi scaling. In addition to porting and reworking things for hi-dpi scaling, a number of behavior improvements and bug fixes were implemented, particularly improved nickname selection behavior at connection time and better layout behavior for the channel top area. Unfortunately the 1.6 release removes support for integrating with the KDE Address Book, as the interfaces Konversation was using to achieve this were dropped from KDE Frameworks. A replacement is in the works in the form of the new KPeople library, which we intend to use in a future release. Using KPeople, Konversation will then be able to tightly integrate with various contact management-related features in Plasma Desktop. --- Essential links --- Konversation's website: [url]http://konversation.kde.org/[/url] Wiki: [url]http://userbase.kde.org/Konversation[/url] Report bugs and wishes at: [url]https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=konversation[/url] Older releases: [url]http://konversation.kde.org/wiki/Releases[/url]
