ANNOUNCE: LostIRC 0.2.5

[Morten Brix Pedersen <morten wtf dk>]

Application
===========

LostIRC 0.2.5

Description
===========

LostIRC is a simple, yet very useful IRC client. It has features such as
tab-autocompletion, multiple server support, automatic joining of
servers/channels, logging and DCC sending which should cover the needs of
most people.  Another goal that the application has in mind, is 100%
keyboard controlability.  It was written using the gtkmm GUI library.

Screenshots are available at http://lostirc.sourceforge.net/

Changes
============

  * When the window was resized, the scrollbar moved unwanted away from
the
    bottom of the text box. Fixed (thanks, Jonathan James Taylor)
  * When being away from the client for a long while, and seeing yourself
    being highlighted several places. You can now use CTRL-h to scroll
back
    to the previous highlight instead of finding it manually.
  * CTRL-Home and CTRL-End can now be used to scroll to the top and bottom
    in the text box.
  * ALT-Left and ALT-Right can now be used to navigate to the left or
right
    tab.
  * When no real name was set, some IRC servers refused the user to
connect.
    Now real name is set to the users nick if not specified.
  * When only one user is on a channel, the plural s from "users" is now
    removed (thanks, Michael Kristensen)
  * When a tilde (~) is used in /DCC SEND, it's now expanded to the users
    home directory.
  * DCC sending wasn't functional when sending files with full paths,
    because the path was being sent. Now the path is being stripped before
    sending the filename to the remote user.
  * An IRC encoding can now be selected using preferences. This is useful
if
    you use an UTF-8 locale and you want to send text to the server, in
say,
    ISO-8859-1.
  * Gettext support added, making LostIRC translate-able to other
languages
    than English (see po/ directory).
  * A bug which caused non-UTF8 compatible nicknames to fail has been
fixed.
  * Fixed a problem where PowerPC systems would get a "Unknown host" when
    connecting.
  * Fix a problem when using GTK+ 2.2 and focus wasn't given to the entry
    box when clicking on a tab.
