XChat was a popular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client. It had a choice of a tabbed document interface or tree interface, support for multiple servers and was highly configurable. Both command line and graphical versions were available. XChat was available for Unix-like systems and Microsoft Windows; derivatives with native support for OS X's Aqua interface were also available (see below). The official XChat software had been discontinued since 2012, with development moving largely to forks such as HexChat.〔〔(XChat Subversion repository history ), showing few commits other than to plug-in code since 2010〕 ==Features== XChat was a full-featured IRC client with a GUI surrounding the basic chat window. It included all basic functionality found in most other IRC clients, including nick completion, connecting to multiple servers,〔''IRC Hacks'', p. 90.〕 secure connections,〔''IRC Hacks'', p. 93.〕 CTCP, DCC file transfers and chats, and a plugin system for various programming languages (including at least C or C++, Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby,〔(Xchat-Ruby Plugin Website ). ruby.sourceforge.net〕 Lua,〔(xchat Lua plugin ). ankh-morp.org.〕 CLISP, D, and DMDScript〔(xcdscript home page ). ludost.net.〕). Plugins allowed extending the features and customization of the functionality of XChat. The default view for the client window was referred to as "tree view", but can be configured for a tabbed interface instead. Tabs changed color as text arrives, other users enter or leave channels, or address the user's nickname. The interface could display clickable operator ("op") commands and others, and allowed customization of fonts, event sounds, timestamps, and logging.〔Arnote, Paul (September 2009). ("Internet Relay Chat: The Forgotten Chat Frontier" ). PCLinuxOS Magazine.〕 XChat implemented all standard IRC commands (e.g. /NICK or /JOIN ), as well as DCC chatting (/CHAT ), which allows chat to continue if the IRC server is disconnected.〔XChat ran on Unix-like operating systems and modern versions of Windows〔Support for 98/ME was dropped from the official Windows build: (XChat Forum - Support for Windows 98/ME dropped ).〕 Many GNU/Linux distributions include packages for XChat in their repositories, though most have now switched to the newer Hexchat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「XChat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
