XChat is an IRC chat program for both Linux and Windows. It allows you to join multiple IRC channels (chat rooms) at the same time, talk publicly, private one-on-one conversations etc. Even file transfers are possible.

Changelog:

• Fixed: If you set your away reason blank in the settings, it was impossible to set yourself away using the Away menu item.
• Added a setting in the logging section: Display scrollback from previous session, which is the same as /set text_replay. Also improved the way these scrollback files are periodically shrunk, previously they could get too large.
• Fixed /EXEC not showing any output on Windows Vista.
• Added a /SHELL command to execute via command line interpreter. e.g. try /SHELL Dir
