Version 1.2 History
All ver 1.2 exe's are compressed via UPX v 2.3.0 (http://upx.sf.net).- Build 5: Added: Descriptive QUIT messages. Clicking channel's name in channel list joins. /ME action replacement. Special character escape for replacements. Replacements are now processed Recursively. Config files reorganized. Fixed selected template on startup. Fixed to throw you to the status tab for error or to proper tab for new channel. Fixed packet processing flaw that messed up channel list user counts.
(Current Build)
- Build 4: Redone chat text handling to be more versatile and efficient. Insert special character added. Nick and channel name on title bar. Channel poster's nick is bold, but other text formatting is temporarily lost (ACTION's not bold anymore for now). Auto scroll when the chat window is scrolled to bottom. Many small things fixed.

- Build 2: Adds the ability to specify the parameters to the USER login command. Adding User, Real Name, and Mode in addition to just Nick in the login template page. Your saved template info should be imported, although you will need to specify these new parameters. If any of these parameters are blank PIC will assume you want to manual send the USER and NICK login commands.

- Build 1: Seems to be missing some QUIT/POST's. User list updates still annoy you when your scrolling the user list. Performance issues have arose now that the text is parsed, so reasonable history limits are added as default for Status and Raw Log. Sends PART when closing PRIVMSG tab. Some other little stuff.
