According to this, it is sufficient to carry out the following setting in the .uaerc configuration file: "ppc.use_tbc=false". This was tested under the Yellow Dog Linux distribution. (snx) (Translation: cad)

IRC client: WookieChat 2.5
James Carroll just released a new version of his MUI based IRC client WookieChat for AmigaOS 3/4. New in v2.5 is the option to supress the "join", "quit" and "away"messages, also the seperate "Server-Tab" is not needed any longer. The changes in detail:
  • You can now close the leftmost server tabs
  • Dedicated server tabs can be disabled/enabled. Configure this setting at: Main Settings > Servers. Server tabs can be closed now regardless
  • When a person sends you a file with DCC SEND, the file comment field is filled with their nick and IP address, and the network name
  • When messaging someone in private, away messages are only displayed once unless they change
  • The ignore function now ignores /notice messages
  • Added an ENV variable for AmiUpdate compatibiilty
  • Added a "Hide" menu item, with short cut, for quick iconifying
  • Bugfix: No more crashing when closing second networks
  • Bugfix: Parting channels on the Serenity IRC network no longer crashes
  • Added a workaround for a strange PREFIX parameter on the EnterTheGame IRC network
  • Bugfix: No more garbage characters bug when using cursor up/down to scroll through your input history. (used to happen at the end)
  • Type /playing or /tunenet to show whats playing in TuneNet. It's not that useful a feature really.. I added it by request. It's something nice to play with, just for ####s 'n giggles
  • You can optionally turn on smaller tab sizes, by running wookiechat with the "smalltabs" switch. i.e. "run wookiebeta_os3 smalltabs". I'm aware that they dont always look right though

The Author thanks all users who registered WookieChat for the additional "pocket money". (cg) (Translation: ub)

Systempatch 2.98
