Smuxi IRC Client Gets Major Update with Twitter OAuth Support
Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible,
user-friendly and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users,
targeting the GNOME desktop.
From the Developer's website:
Development of Smuxi started in 2004 making an IRC client that fits
the needs I could not satisfy with irssi. I was using irssi over 4
years and it's the best the IRC client I have used so far. Most annoying
was
that it didn't integrate at all into my desktop experience (such as
mouse / clipboard / theming / highlight handling). Thus irssi inspired
lots of features and commands seen in Smuxi. Smuxi pioneered the
separated engine / frontend concept inside a single graphical client
application and has been the focus of development since ever then.
Features:
- All the basic IRC client features like support for multiple networks, filters, nicknames, keyboard shortcuts, auto-connect, clickable urls, theming, channel list, search etc.
- Support for Twitter
- Multiple Language Support
