Smuxi

Initial support for Twitter has been implemented. This will allow you to send and receive tweets to the Twitter microblogging service. It supports the friends timeline, replies view, and direct messages. Smuxi is now able to flawlessly handle network connections with high latency which are common with UMTS, WLAN, and busy DSL and cable lines. The IRC experience has been significantly improved. Smuxi will now send all unrecognized commands transparently to the IRC server and will show the reply directly to the user. In addition, this release contains many other enhancements and fixes.

The most notable change is the optimized nickname color feature, which has been redesigned to select colors which will look good on your screen. The algorithm is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. This feature is now enabled by default for new installations. Existing users are encouraged to visit the preferences to enable the feature. To assist in tracking your conversations, nicknames in your replies will now be colored too.
The default font for Windows was changed from Monospace to FixedSys, which should give a much improved experience.

This release contains important changes for supporting Windows and Mac OS X, as it no longer requires the GNOME# library. The SSH support for the communication between the server and the frontend is now official, and has been integrated into the GUI. This means Smuxi can safely be used now with NAT and port-based firewalls.

This release features configurable tray icon
support and line wrapping. French, Italian, and
Spanish translations were added. Passwords are now
hidden by default but can be shown by using a
"show password" button. Nicknames can now be
listed by using the /names command. The find group
chat dialog will no longer freeze the interface
when the IRC server uses non-RFC compliant reply
codes. This release also includes many other
bugfixes.

This release features a German translation, memory of window size and position after restarting, the ability to disable timestamps, and an explanation of the timestamp format variables. nick-colors now tries to avoid colors that give bad contrast. Next and previous chat entries were added to the menu. The logging date format is now human readable. The /quit command works now. The first message is now highlighted for queries. Reconnect does not break queries anymore. Chat tabs are now sorted correctly.
