Mint plans to replace HexChat with a custom application |
|
In February the HexChat IRC client published its final version. This open source application shipped as the default IRC client in a few Linux distributions, including Linux Mint. This has left distribution maintainers considering what to use as a replacement for the now discontinued IRC client. The Linux Mint monthly newsletter discusses how Mint will replace HexChat: "There are IRC clients written in GTK3 which are HiDPI compatible, but replacing Hexchat with one of them doesn’t really solve our problem. What Linux Mint needs, first and foremost, is a place for people to ask questions to other users. An IRC client can provide that but it’s not dedicated to doing that. So with that in mind we started working on a new app called Jargonaut.
Jargonaut will be a dedicated app. It will do just that and do it better. Although it uses the IRC, it won't be developed as an IRC client. It will support pastebin/imgur via DND, uploading your system specifications, troubleshooting and many features which have nothing to do with IRC." |
