Development of Jabber plugin for WeeChat has started and a first alpha version is available.
Note: many features are missing, like TLS connection, buddy list management, presence information, MUC and transports.

A new blog about WeeChat development has been added. It announces all new features in development version and let you discuss about future of WeeChat.
Feel free to read it and add comments!

Next WeeChat version (codename "revolution") is under development.
Large part of code was rewritten, it's now faster, easier, and more extensible.
List of new features and screenshots can be found on wiki page (see link below).

Today there's no planed release date, some features are still missing, and there's lot of work until a stable version.

We need help, like beta testers, to test this version. You can look at wiki page for more info.

To be continued in some months for other news...

Version 0.2.4 is available!

News since last version are:

- added "call" option to /key command
- added "event handlers" to plugins API
- many bugs fixed.

Version 0.2.3 is available!
This version fixes major bugs of version 0.2.2. All users of version 0.2.2 should upgrade now.

News since last version are:
- fixed many bugs with charset plugin
- fixed display bugs with nicklist at top/bottom when look_nicklist_separator is OFF
- fixed topic scroll when topic has multi-bytes chars
- fixed compilation problem with iconv under FreeBSD.

Bugs have been detected with WeeChat 0.2.2: for servers using charsets like KOI8-R. When nicks are encoded with cyrillic chars, WeeChat doesn't decode them, and display and behaviour with server are buggy.

If you use KOI8-R (or charsets like this one), we recommend you to use version 0.2.1 or development version.
If you use only UTF-8 or ISO charsets, there's no problem with version 0.2.2.

These problems are fixed in development version.
A new version will be available soon, it will fix all problems.
