Irssi 1.4

+

Irssi 1.4 is still under development. It is far away from release, but you can test the version in git.

+

I may erratically post some news here.

+

Useful fixes and features already committed

+
    +

  • Alt+Left/Right does not incorrectly switch split windows anymore. By Mikael Magnusson

    • +

  • New paste detection feature! Pastes from your clip-board can be automatically redirected to a pastebin site or edited in the input line instead. A sample script is on https://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/Irssi/pastebin.pl

    • +

  • Notices to channels have become their own level, similar to MSGS vs PUBLICS there is now NOTICES and PUBNOTICES for your activity and ignore rules

    • +

  • Server-side HELP (/quote help) has a new default alias: /SHELP and improved rendering. By Val Lorentz

    • +

  • New settings:

    +
      +

    • actlist_separator

Major platform changes

+
    +

  • Autotools was removed. Irssi can be built with Meson.

    • +

  • Some cruft was removed from the code, true colour is now always built, socks is removed, regex.h is removed.

    • +

  • IRC module is now optional, you can launch Irssi without IRC. It’s expected to find bugs in this regard! Also a good topic if someone wants to contribute (for example: move useful commands from IRC => common)

    • +

  • Github actions builds a termux package

    • +
+
+
+

Potential areas of interest for development

+
    +

  • IRCv3 features(?)

    • +

  • Improve split window and layout switching and restoration, fix split window bug (window collapsing)

    • +

  • Support dynamic expandos

    • +

  • Coherent line meta-data architecture

    • +

  • Removal and replacement of /recode

    • +

  • ??? your ideas ???
