I am happy to announce the 0.6.4 release of Smuxi. This release contains important changes for supporting Windows and Mac OS X as it no longer requires the GNOME# library. The SSH-support for the communication between the server and the frontend is now official and has been integrated into the GUI. This means Smuxi can safely be used now with NAT and port-based firewalls. For a detailed list of changes, please read the feature and bugfix list below.

New features:

• Feature #1: support (clickable) URLs in topic
• Feature #15: add date stamps between days like irssi
• Feature #28: support mIRC colors in topic
• Feature #63: replace GNOME# API calls with GTK# API
• Feature #64: Remove dependency on TCP ports for 2-way communication (passive mode)
