* ABOUT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Irssi is an IRC client made with GTK+ toolkit and (optional) GNOME libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
A small text mode version is also somewhat working, there's also a really
|
|
|
|
|
simple daemon version which just loads "bot" plugin (which doesn't exist).
|
|
|
|
|
I'd also like to see KDE version but someone else will have to do it.

* FEATURES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See COMMANDS file for list of all commands irssi knows.

|
I've been asked quite a lot about why should one use irssi, what does it do
|
|
|
|
|
that other IRC clients don't? Well, to tell you the truth, I have no idea :)
|
|
|
|
|
Still I've got a lot of mails saying it's the best GUI IRC client they've
|
|
|
|
|
ever used :) Let's see.. It should be easy to use, it has most of the
|
|
|
|
|
features IRC client needs and it's pretty stable. Here's a small list of what
|
|
|
|
|
it does:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Nice configuration :) Especially the color settings.
|
|
|
|
|
- You can connect to multiple servers. Irssi is also IRC network aware so
|
|
|
|
|
you can specify some settings to work only in specified IRC networks.
|
|
|
|
|
- Automatically connect to IRC server(s) at startup, automatically join to
|
|
|
|
|
channels when connected
|
|
|
|
|
- All code is nonblocking, it won't hang while connecting to server or
|
|
|
|
|
opening DCC connection. Host lookups are done in separate processes.
|
|
|
|
|
- DCC send, receive and chat with GUI
|
|
|
|
|
- GNOME panel support, channels and queries are displayed in GNOME panel
|
|
|
|
|
where you can easily see which channels have been updated (label turns to
|
|
|
|
|
red) and click in them to open the channel.
|
|
|
|
|
- Doubleclicking URL in text widget launches specified web/ftp/email client,
|
|
|
|
|
also doubleclicking channel/nick join to channel or creates query.
|
|
|
|
|
- Aliases, ignores, autoignoring when flooding, notify lists, completing
|

|
|
|
specified words with tab (like home<tab> -> http://my.home.page),
|
1999-09-03 10:27:29 -04:00
|
|
|
hilighting lines with specified texts
|
|
|
|
|
- Smart nick completion
|
|
|
|
|
- Configurable logging support
|
|
|
|
|
- You can use ZVT widget to print texts, it's really fast so you can be
|
|
|
|
|
joined to many high traffic channels and irssi won't slow up
|
|
|
|
|
- Plugins support, creating plugins is really easy.
|
|
|
|
|
- Lots of nice GUI stuff :)
