CORPSECORPS  Hmm.

2006 to 2008 to get from 3.5a1 to 3.5a6?

So can we can expect betas in 2009, and the final release by 2011?

JOELSCHMIDT2  I see the problem. it does indeed download a 3.5a1 DMG, but if you actually check the version of the ircle app, it says it is 3.5a2.

LETTUCE  Would be even better if the download link actually downloaded a2, instead of a1.

Don't bother going to the homepage just yet, either. The link nfor a2 downloadsÂ… a1.

XBOXDRUGGIE  Yeah.. I paid for a license too back in the way back day... when the interface was akin to OS 9. Times have changed and unfortunately Ircle has adapted into the greatness of OS X and the wonders of fully carbon aqua goodness.

Onno what is up? Do you just not care about Ircle anymore?

RAZZ  Ircle remains the best IRC client for the Mac. This baby installs and runs every time for me.

Things I like: 1. It works reliably. 2. Access to IRC commands from the console. Most Mac IRC clients do not provide this or provide a very limited command capability. 3. Full DCC, Xserve, and CTCP capability 4. Video capability 5. Automated functions 6. Scripting 7. It's small footprint. Many IRC clients are bloated.

Things I don't like: Too many windows to clutter the screen. On the other hand, I have a big screen so it doesn't bother me as much as when I had a smaller screen. Other clients go too far the other way by putting too much in one window, using tabs, etc. Maybe an option to use tabs would be nice.

ONAR VIKINGSTAD  I tried the 3.5a1 but it just hangs when trying to start it on a MacBook Pro. It actually hangs the whole system, and it takes about 2 minutes before I can force quit it. If I remove the Ircle preferences it loads but then crashes right when it`s about to draw the windows.

ANONYMOUS  Switched to XChat Aqua a long time ago. This program is outdated and only for those who hold onto it for nostalgic purposes.

ANONYMOUS  I think the point is that it still runs on System 7.0
