HexChat IRC Client Developer Reaches Out For Help

Accepted submission by Anonymous Coward at 2021-10-03 07:10:13
Software

On October 1st, 2021, HexChat version 2.16.0 [github.io] was released along with a, "help wanted" plea from the developer.

This release also comes with some bad news; The HexChat project has been undermaintained for quite a while now. I’ve been involved with this project since I was a high school student but that is long past and I simply don’t have the time to dedicate to it any longer. The Windows builds in particular are very draining and in a poor state which has kept smaller releases from happening more frequently. If anybody out there doesn’t mind building things on Windows or wants to help with maintainance contact @TingPing [github.com] on Libera.Chat.
