We just released version 2.0 of Circe, the Client for IRC in Emacs.
Circe is a Client for IRC in Emacs. It tries to have sane defaults,
and integrates well with the rest of the editor, using standard Emacs
key bindings and indicating activity in channels in the status bar so
it stays out of your way unless you want to use it.
This is an anniversary release – today 10 years ago, Circe has had
its first commit! Since then, the code base expanded quite a bit and
Circe has gained a lot of good features, contributed by over a dozen
people over time. And the client now has a number of users.
It's a weird feeling when you realize that this piece of software you wrote because you were unhappy with the existing solutions not only has been with you for a decade, but has other people using and contributing to it.
Major thanks to all the awesome people I know through this software. On to the next 10 years!
Quick Installation
Evaluate this:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
Then run M-x package-install RET circe RET
.
After this, M-x circe
should work.
