Finally, a new major milestone version of KVIrc is released!

Two years has passed since the original KVIrc 4 release. While the original
4.0 code was put in maintenance mode, a lot of time has been dedicated to merge
new features inside KVIrc. Today we present the result of this development.

Support for new os/architectures:

  • Mac OSX support, clang support
  • 64-bit Windows support
  • improved FreeBSD integration
  • even an esperimental OS/2 patch is available

More scripting power:

  • the interface to the popup subsystem has been rewritten: the new popup module
  • a new interface to the userlist: the userlist module
  • a new webView class that embeds a webkit
  • improved SQL classes
  • a new trayicon KVS class
  • added a default script manager to restore default scripts without overwriting
    custom user scripts
  • lots of new functions: $file.time(), $insideAlias(), $log.export(),
    $file.diskspace(), $isBot(), $gender(), $context.connectionStartTime,
    $context.lastMessageTime, $listtimers(), $window.isDocked, $aliasBody(),
    $file.readBytes(), $file.writeBytes(), window.savePropertiesAsDefault,
    $chan.modeParam(), ...
  • new certificate related functions: $dcc.getSSLCertInfo(), $certificate(),
    $str.evpSign(), $str.evpVerify()

A lot of new misc features:

  • a module to support FiSH irc encryption
  • smart logging paths using KVS
  • medialayer support: VLC, Spotify, Totem, Clementine, ...
  • a rewritten log viewer module
  • dynamic support for custom channel modes

As usual, we'd like to thank all the people supporting KVIrc development and its
userbase. A big hug to the resident users of #kvirc@Freenode for their continuous
effort on bridging the gap between developers and users.

Have fun :)
Szymon Stefanek and The KVIrc Development Team
