And here we go again! We're proud to announce the new version of Smuxi, release 0.9 "The Fix". During the development, 19 bug reports and 10 feature requests in 235 commits were worked on making this release a major feature and bugfix release.

Notable highlights in this release are:

Enhanced User Interface

• Smuxi Symbolic Icon Theme for Windows and Mac OS X (George Karavasilev)
• Nick Completion: prioritize active nicks for tab completion (Ondrej Hošek)
• Nicklist: The nicklist automatically resizes to the longest nick.
• On Mac OS X the copy/paste command key shortcuts are now working

Text Frontend Enhancements

• Topic Support: channels are now showing the topic (Ondrej Hošek)
• Line Wrapping: messages longer than the terminal width are now properly wrapped into multiple lines (Ondrej Hošek)
• Message/Nick Colors: Nick names and also messages are now shown with their colors, giving a much improved experience.
• OpenBSD Support: The STFL frontend now runs on OpenBSD.

JabbR (Beta) Support

• SignalR's JabbR Support: As if IRC, Twitter, XMPP, and Campfire weren't enough Smuxi is now capable of talking with SignalR's famous JabbR web chat. If you are looking for support for SignalR, ASP.NET MVC, NancyFx, EntityFramework, NuGet, RavenDB or just a real modern and cool web chat? Then this is the right place for you!
• Included Features:
  • Join rooms (/join)
  • Listing available rooms (/list)
  • Nickname completion
  • Highlight of own nickname and user defined highlight words
  • Sending/receiving public and private messages

Twitter Enhancements

• Twitter v1.1: Twitter removed their v1 API on the 11 June which broke Smuxi and many other Twitter applications. Smuxi works with Twitter again after updating it to the v1.1 API.

XMPP (Beta) Enhacenments

• XMPP/Jabber Contacts
  • Contacts can be renamed from the context menu
• XMPP Rewrite (Oliver Schneider)
• Added favicon mappings of famous Jabber servers: jabber.org, jabber.de, jabber.at, jabber.ccc.de and jabber.gmx.net

IRC Enhancements

• passive channel sync: Smuxi no longer needs to send WHO requests for users that join channels. Not only this improves the speed of joining channels drastically, this also prevents potential WHO floods when the infamous netsplits occur.
• UTF-8 recode: Messages containing UTF-8 or your fallback encoding will automatically be recoded when needed. (Ondrej Hošek)
• channel usermodes: Owner, Half-Op and Admin modes are now supported. (Ondrej Hošek)
