Kashyyyk / News: Recent posts

Kashyyyk 014 has been released. This update mostly contains changes to the server configuration window and some bugfixes for certain servers.

The biggest improvements are:

• Case-insensitive channel joins
• Major fixes for FreeNode
• Multiple crash fixes on startup for OS X
• Performance improvements on Windows
• Updated FLTK to 1.3.3

If you use FreeNode, Kashyyyk can finally connect and chat as well there as it can on other networks.
Using FLTK 1.3.3 also means that the Gleam theme will work on platforms other than OS X.
