Circe 2.3 released

We just released version 2.3 of Circe, a Client for IRC in Emacs.

The package is available from github, MELPA stable and MELPA unstable. The latter will track further development changes, so use at your own risk.

Changes

  • Circe (Lui) now has a track bar. Use (enable-lui-track-bar) to get a bar where you stopped reading when you did hide a buffer.
  • Buffers are now by default limited to 100k, as large buffers cause unreasonable slowdown in Emacs.
  • Autopaste now defaults to ix.io and also knows about ptpb.pw.
  • A number of faces have been updated to be nicer to the eye.
  • Improve compatibility with the Slack IRC gateway.
  • Lots of bug fixes.

Thanks to defanor, Janis Dzerins and Vasilij Schneidermann for their contributions.
