A new version of leafchat has come around once again this time in the form of 2.1 there are one or two new features but a hell of a lot of changes in all departments, some from user reports, some just issues, some auto reported bugs - similar to the way the xchat windows version works and some API changes which plugin coders will be interested in.

The highlighted changes in this release are:

• Channel user status display
• Away status handling
• Automatically close spare windows
• popup notification events

The changes appear to be rather well accepted by the community as leafchat ( excuse the poor word play ) turns over yet another new leaf ( i know, sorry ) The change log as ever has been attached, note it has been broke across several pages as its .. big! and the downloads have been attached ( in order of os lin, win, osx)

There has been a fair amount of hype surrounding this latest release from the people behind Linkinus, this version has been quite quick in coming to us but is packaged, full, to the brim, literally with new features and functions which have to be tipping Linkinus to be the premier mac client for IRC - or at least somewhere amongst those at the peak.

In the mass of changes comes things like a whole rework of the entire GUI, they have added some simple yet much needed new features like automatic reconnection upon abnormal disconnection - a new method to auto complete - there ( in there words ) half baked log viewer has been scrapped in favour of plain text files and spotlight integration to allow easier searching of log files.

All in all Linkinus comes across as a very powerful client with still a whole lot of potential to progress further as it looks to push aside the likes of Snak, IRCle and Colloquy at the top of the mountain for IRC Mac clients
