Konversation 1.7 released!

April 15, 2017

Konversation v1.7 is a major feature release focusing on greatly expanded protocol support, with newly-added support for many more IRC v3 extensions and the much-requested support for SASL EXTERNAL and ‘server-time’. Many bugfixes and cleanups along with reinstated features initially lost in the first Frameworks 5-based release series v1.6.x are included as well. Finally, the handbook has been thoroughly refreshed in this release, and building and running on macOS and Windows have seen several fixes.

Changes from 1.7-rc1 to 1.7:

• Two-finger scroll on the vertical channel list is now less sensitive.
• Fixed execution of bundled scripts showing an error about locating translation files when running on a system without kde4-config installed.
• Fixed a bug in executable command line parsing for passed URLs.
• Fixed Konversation failing to start on Windows systems without D-Bus (it would previously exit if it failed to initialize its D-Bus service).
• Ported from deprecated KDE Frameworks APIs to 5.24+ API (v1.7 requires Frameworks 5.25 or higher).

The above change list is relative to the release candidate released last month. Check out the v1.7-rc1 news item below for a list of the bulk of the changes relative to v1.6.2!
