XChat 2.8.5
更新細節：
* The userlist and treeview can now be placed on the same side, with a resize handle in between them. They can also be dragged and dropped into place.
* The resize handles between two panes are now smaller (3 pixels) and invisible.
* Scrollbars are now placed inside the frame they scroll (more Windows like).
* If you have a tree on one side and userlist on the other, they'll both now have a resize handle, previously the tree's size was fixed.
* The userlist can be hidden and shown with CTRL+F7.
* Added a feature that reloads conversations from last time you used XChat (/set text_replay 0 to disable it).
* /MENU now supports a $CHAN root aswell (see plugin20.html).
* Fixed a problem some people were having with minimize to tray (the feature added in 2.8.3e).
* Fixed /LastLog printing everything twice if you had Indented Nicks off.
* Added /set gui_tweaks for GUI fine tunning.
* A better quit dialog which warns you if you're connected to IRC or have active file transfers.
* The Channel List's minimum users spin-button can now be set downward even on networks that sent a list of channels of only a larger size. In this case the Download button will flash to indicate you need to download a new list.
* Fixed bug: [1737249] Doesn't recognize nicks with halfop mode on hovering.

XChat 2.8.3d
更新細節：

- Added a new command line argument:
--minimize=level :: Begin minimized. Level 0=Normal 1=Iconified 2=Tray
Example: xchat.exe --minimize=1

- Improved the look of the slider-bars for transparency settings.
- Vista: Changed the default DCC download folder to the one already created by Vista (e.g. C:UsersYourNameDownloads).

XChat 2.8.3a
更新細節：
- Fixed a rare Channel-List crash associated with failed unicode collation (minigtk.dll bug).

- Added an E-Mail and comments field to the automatic crash dialog, so people can add some details.

XChat 2.8.3
更新細節：
- When explorer.exe crashes and restarts itself, XChat will now re-create its tray icon, previously it would disappear.
- Launching two or more copies of XChat will no longer make the tray icon disappear in the new copies.
- Connecting to SSL IRC servers no longer requires OpenSSL libraries. We now use Windows' own TLS library (aka SChannel). This removes a dependency on a 528 KB file, saving space and memory. I have tested approx 20 SSL servers and only 1 is failing, which I suspect is the server's own fault. Please report any failures or feedback on this, as the code is pretty new and complex!
- The Tree-View can now be placed above the user list, as seen in this forum thread.
- The user list can now be placed on the left side with /set gui_ulist_left 1, but requires a restart.
- The entry box's right-click menu now adds the "Windows IME" input method. This is useful for inputting various non-English languages. There's a whole thread on this here. Setting the environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE to "ime" will make this stick.
- Nick serv authentication is now sent without the ":" when using the /NICKSERV or /NS method. More at sf.net.
- Reverted an unintended charset change in 2.8.1a&b. When using "IRC (Latin/Unicode Hybrid)" mode, a (c with caron) would be sent as plain 'c' when it should have been sent as UTF-8 with the caron preserved.
- Fixed a bug in the "Copy Selected Link" URL right-click menu on non-ASCII characters.
- Perl: Fixed a timer bug that could cause a crash during /reloadall or /unloadall.
- Fixed a crash bug in /MENU. Adding a radio or toggle item that deleted itself in its own select-command would crash.
- Automated crash reporting to www.xchat.org (optional). If/When a crash occurs, you will be asked if you want to send information about the crash to our web site.
- Upgraded this log to proper html
