XChat Azure

I’ve been using this as my go to IRC client for quite a while now, both on Mavericks and on Yosemite. It’s been great! It’s performed just as well as the Xchat for Linux that I was used to. I use it across multiple servers with multiple chat rooms open and it never misses a beat. And while I also love Colloquy on Mac, I find this is much more useful if you’re a channel admin or IRCOP. Give it a shot, if you liked Xchat on Linux or Windows, you’ll like XchatAzure on Mac.

it won't let any of my servers connect via ssl.

In the latest upgrade I noticed the python plugins stopped working. Why has the python plugin support been dropped?

So last update broke the keyboard shortcut to navigate between tabs cmd + <- and cmd + -> This makes the app very painful to use :(

I’ve never seen someone turn xchat’s codebase into something so awful. Here’s a list of just a few problems: - The Channels Tab bar runs off the end of the window and wraps around down into the viewport preventing access to some widgets. - When the Tab Switcher is turned on it forces the text entry box off the bottom of the viewport. - Notices vanish into the ether without being displayed anywhere. - You can add “favorites” to a list in the server settings but the UI doesn’t expose any method to join those channels. - Sometimes you can’t close windows in the Tree switcher view and it seems to be arbitrary which ones. - Putting your password into the Nickserv password box doesn’t make the client send the password to Nickserv on connect. - If a window is undocked you can’t access the menu bar because it wiggles up and down incessantly. - Channel invites also disappear into the ether. They just aren’t displayed anywhere. - There doesn’t seem to be any way to view channel modes and they aren’t shown when you join a channel. I could go on and on.
