Slightly off-topic, but I really started to like WeeChat: http://weechat.org/ http://weechat.org/

  Genuinely curious for those still using irssi; what can irssi do that weechat can't?

    In my case, irssi is already installed, I have no real issues with it, and if I reviewed every time someone created an alternative to a program I use I'd never get anything done (not that I get anything done now, but one can dream).

    Use less memory, which is good on memory limited shell accounts.

Here's the changelog: http://irssi.org/news/ChangeLog http://irssi.org/news/ChangeLog Features: * Document that SSL connections aren't properly handled during /UPGRADE. See Github PR #39. * Synchronize scripts with scripts.irssi.org. * Performance enhancement of the nicklist as well as the window_item_find function. See Github PR #24. * Disallow unloading of static modules. * Allow UTF-8 characters in /bind. See Github PR #18. * Split overlong outgoing messages instead of silently truncating them. Adds two new options: 'split_line_end' and 'split_line_start'. 'split_line_end' contains a string added to the end of line fragments. 'split_line_start' contains a string - added to the beginning of line fragments. See Github PR #29. * Added special /ignore NO_ACT level to ignore only activity (see /help ignore). * Support for 256 and true color terminals (see Github PR #48). * Support for italics (see Github PR #58). * Rewrote many help files. Bugfixes: * Fixed various compiler warnings and use of deprecated functions. * Fixed Perl API usage and added PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to reduce code size. * Fixed format_get_text Perl API. See Github PR #23. * Fixed gui_printtext_after and term_refresh_*() visibility. See Github PR #22. * Fixed issue where UTF-8 characters was corrupted once for every 32k text. See Github PR #12. * Fixed redrawing issue with right-aligned statusbar. * Fixed use-after-free bug with cached settings values. See Github PR #147.
