• Added glirc_user_account and glirc_user_channel_modes extension API entrypoints.
• Added support for account-notify and extended-join
• Added configurable "arguments" to the C extensions

2.27

• Requires GHC 8.4
• Show channel topic in channel on join

2.25

• /ignore can list ignores and supports full wildcard masks
• Updated C extension API
• Improved OTR extension to avoid interacting with ZNC replays
• Added protocol-family configuration option. Set to inet or inet6 to force a particular IP protocol.

2.24

• /query now takes a message parameter and tab-completes like /msg.

2.23

• CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE: Relative paths are now resolved from the directory of the configuration file. The "~" alias for the home directory works for resolving paths relative to $HOME. Absolute paths are unmodified.

• Support network:#channel in /query

• Add an optional OTR extension. See the otr-extension/ directory and the wiki for more information.

• Extended the C API with glirc_inject_chat and chat_entrypoint

2.22

• Added dynamic indentation of wrapped lines. Lines now wrap to where the message portion of the line started. This removes indent-wrapped-lines configuration setting
• Added pervasive word-boundary oriented line wrapping (beyond what was previously restricted to chat messages)
• Made nick prefix padding configurable to be on left or right. See nick-padding setting in glirc2 --config-format. In addition this setting is now reconfigurable at runtime via /reload
