Open source; $0

Current Version: 0.8.6.6 (September 3, 2009)

MacIrssi is a powerful, free, open source IRC client that is based on the *nix IRC client irssi (http://www.irssi.org/), combining the power of the irssi engine with an elegant and flexible GUI. MacIrsse supports all of the themes and scripts available at http://www.irssi.org/ without modification.

Version 0.8.6.6 adds/changes the following:

  • Note: As of 0.8.6.5, Perl is only available while running MacIrssi on Snow Leopard.
  • MacIrssi no longer crashes on launch when the PPC version is executed on Tiger.
  • Using /quit to close MacIrssi now actually closes the application.
  • URL recognition is no longer hyper-active. URLs are only recognised when prefixed with a protocol:// specifier but will recognise domain names without any full-stops.
  • The 10th server and channel now have a Command-Option-0 and Command-0 shortcut mapped to them.
  • Serverops are now listed above channel ops in the nicklist.

Also, if you have an older Mac, be sure to check out the "Classic" applications page for more options.

Finally, take a look at ALEMIA if you think you know that name of an application, but aren't quite sure.

These are applications that are newer and of potential interest, but which I haven't yet selected for permanent inclusion. Have a look, and let me know if you think they deserve to be part of the permanent collection!
