X-Chat 2.8.6 Released
The latest version of X-Chat has hit us with the release announcement being very clear on zed's critics in terms of turn around time, there has been a fair amount of criticism thrown his away ever since the windows release turned into a shareware application.

Despite the masses of critics X-Chat remains the most dominant IRC client that comes complete with a GUI ( some argue irssi is the most used period ) This new release brings in a whole heap of fixes. The official announcement read like this for this interested:
After some complaining and whining from a few people about how long it's taking, we've finally released a new Linux version: 2.8.6, enjoy.
