FYI to Cygwin users, XChat is dead. its last release was 2.8.9 in 2010. And its main developer charged money for proprietary Windows builds without gaining the licensing consent of other contributors 1st! HexChat is the de-facto continuation of XChat. It was originally known as XChat-WDK because it only targeted Windows, and was built using the WDK. It renamed itself to HexChat once it became a general-purpose cross-platform replacement for XChat. Many Linux distros still offer both XChat and Hexchat. But their versions of Xchat are merely 2.8.9 (2010) or 2.8.8 (2010) with a bunch of patches. Compare XChat to OpenOffice: https://lwn.net/Articles/654776/ XChat is an important part of open source history, but that is also what it is at this point in time. - -Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlXhmPMACgkQIFy22CVQsiv1hAEAiUEeo3zE69u+efMGo6LsMP7k n0eRTVQRgE5s0AfWGfAA/2P9bVaJrEZejFWUt6sYOMNeCVyFP9nAfMuQKPUXsGod =EHpE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
