Hey everyone, we just released version 0.13.0 of Ibis our #IRCv3 library that we've built for the #IRC support in @pidgin 3!

The big feature in this release is that we're parsing formatting and making it available to users of the library so they can display formatted messages. See the screen shot for what that looks like in Pidgin 3 experimental 2!!

You can find the official release announcement here! discourse.imfreedom.org/t/ibis

So @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2 is due out on Monday and we realized we could probably sneaking message formatting in for #IRCv3 in the last few days.

This still needs some work, but check out the Pidgin 2 vs 3 handling of message formatting...

I thought we fixed the italics stuff in Pidgin 2 awhile, but apparently not.

Anyways this is all spec complaint per modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting

If you have any questions, comments, etc feel free!

Whelp, we finally committed to releasing an experimental release of Pidgin 3.0 by the end of the year! To be clear, this is a **pre-alpha** release, but you can read more here discourse.imfreedom.org/t/pidg

Instant Messaging Freedom's Discourse · Pidgin 3.0.0 Experimental 1 AnnouncementGreetings Programs! This post was supposed to be made awhile back but I got busy and kept forgetting to write it. Anyways, we are officially announcing that we will be releasing the first experimental release of Pidgin 3 on December 31st, 2024. This release is a pre-alpha release and no one should be using it full time. The idea is to get something released as the idea of Pidgin 3 is at least 16 years old now. This release will only include source code and a Flatpak. And we will probably use ...

Huge amount of activity around @ircv3 and ecosystem, write-up by Ilmari Lauhakangas.

Ilmari Lauhakangas · IRC technology news from the first half of 2024There is a head-spinning amount of IRC news to share again. The big ticket item for this season is the release of InspIRCd v4.0.0 server software after five years of development. They have a nice overview of the biggest changes. Protocol specifications A work-in-progress REDACT command was added, to be used for moderation and retracting accidentally sent messages among other things. Documentation Modern IRC Client Protocol docs received updates and clarifications related to KICK, TOPIC and CHANTYPES.

So I've finally bit the bullet and installed the Soju #IRCv3 bouncer, and started using Senpai and Goguma as clients. The latter in particular feels modern while still being cozy and fast (who thought that wouldn't be possible?). Not feeling the need for a web based client, but I'm 100% sure now whoever claims IRC (the protocol) cannot compete with newer services hasn't really tried modern IRC.

This came prompted by @reidrac's new channel about retro development, but while at it I've removed the bridged rooms I've been using in Matrix.

If you need an IRC #bouncer please consider Soju: it was trivial to build even on #OpenBSD, easy to configure, and runs perfectly behind relays which I use for TLS termination. Thanks @emersion for a nice piece of software!
