Konversation 1.1 has been released!

August 06, 2008

We are extremely pleased to announce Konversation’s newest major release, v1.1. Konversation 1.1 is a special release for us in multiple ways: It’s our farewell to KDE 3, by way of being the last major release built upon that venerable platform. It’s also our biggest release yet, in terms of the number and magnitude of the changes. The additions and improvements in this release are both user-visible and under the hood. Some of the highlights are rewritten connection handling (robustness and correctness improvements, better support for IRC URLs, bookmarking and more), redone DCC with better UI and Passive/Reverse DCC support, a redone away system with the addition of auto-away support, redone and much more useful remember / marker line support, a new outbound traffic scheduler that is capable of aggressive throttling to avoid flooding while smartly reordering messages to improve latencies, great convenience additions like a “Next Active Tab” shortcut, and much, much more, along with a large number of bugfixes and tweaks to round things out. Note: All fixes made since RC1 are marked with a “[New since RC1]” label in the changelog. We’re confident that this release is the best and most robust version of Konversation published so far, and upgrading comes highly recommended to all users. Enjoy!
