Circe 1.1 released

Version 1.1 of Circe, the Client for IRC in Emacs, has been released.

Read more about Circe on its homepage: https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/circe/wiki

Circe is available from Marmalade.

Changes

  • If a user leaves the channel and rejoins within a short time under the same nick, Circe will now remember the active/lurker state of that user.
  • Circe now can also set a user as "lurker" again if they haven't been speaking for a while. This is disabled by default. See circe-active-users-timeout for more information.
  • The heuristic to identify whether lisp symbol in the channel buffer is a function or a variable has slightly improved.
  • The variable tracking-ignored-buffers allows functions in addition to regular expressions now.
  • Newer versions of bitlbee are now supported out of the box.
  • Additionally, there were various bugfixes.

Thanks to Taylan Ulrich B and John Foerch for their contributions. Circe wouldn't be where it is without you.
