It's a pleasure to announce the release of Hircules 0.3. Hircules is an IRC client written in Haskell, using gtk2hs for its gui. Since the last release about 3 months ago, various bugs have been fixed and a good number of new features added, including better charset support and tab highlighting. A summary of the main changes is appended below. See the Hircules webpage <http://haskell.org/hircules/> for more details. A source tarball and an i386 rpm built for Linux with glibc-2.3 and gtk2-2.2 are available for download from the project site page <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81211>. Enjoy, Jens Version 0.3 (2003-10-05): * New features - input area is now at the bottom of the channel buffer, not a Entry box - UTF-8 support - highlighting of tabs for channel activity - multiline input is support now (from text pasted into input area) - exceptions from lambdabot modules are now caught - absolute paths are no longer mistaken for irc commands - leading '/' is optional now in virtual channels - topic changes appear in Alert channel now - autodecoding of ISO-2022 - tabs menu setup now - virtual channels now have '%' in front of them and can be "joined" - irc log is now date-stamped as well - the charset encoding for writing to a channel can now be set and shown with the new "/coding" command - improved lambdabot configure support
