Textual

Textual is a popular OS X application for interacting with Internet Relay Chat (IRC) chatrooms.

Dynamic Buffer:

• The new dynamic buffer feature improves memory use by limiting how many messages are visible in the scrollback. While scrolled to the bottom, no more than two hundred messages will ever be visible in the scrollback. More messages (up to 30,000) can then by revealed by scrolling upward.
• By default, Textual will keep a record of 15,000 messages per-channel that are accessible by scrolling upward.
• This limit can be increased up to 30,000 or lowered to low as 1,000 in the Style section of Preferences.
• Some custom styles will not work correctly with this feature without modification.
• To view modifications that need to be made, see this knowledge base article for more information.

Additions:

• Added a "Current Session" marker to indicate where messages from the previous session end.
• Added "Jump to Present" action to Navigation menu which can be activated using the keyboard shortcut
• Control Command B. This action jumps the scrollback to the most recent message.
• Added "Jump to Current Session" action to Navigation menu which can be assigned a keyboard shortcut.
• This action jumps the scrollback to the "Current Session" marker.
• Added "Only play back messages you missed" preference to the ZNC Bouncer section of Server Properties.
• This preference, which is enabled by default, controls whether the entire playback buffer or only the parts you missed are played back when the playback module is installed.

Changes:

• Connection names are no longer forced uppercase when Textual is running on OS X Yosemite or later.
• Connections now gracefully disconnect when your Mac goes to sleep even if the preference "Perform reconnect when waking from sleep" is disabled.
• Textual will now wait for images to be 100% loaded before they are shown inline with chat.

Fixes:

• Fixed scrollbars appearing invisible (plain white).
• Fixed a crash that may occur when iCloud syncing was enabled.
• Fixed inability to save trust for a self-signed certificate.
• Fixed incorrect description for TLS 1.3 cipher suites.
• Fixed new messages not appearing when received while Textual is hidden or miniaturized.
• Fixed a lock appearing next to private messages that are not encrypted.
• Fixed notifications appearing for the ZNC playback buffer when disabled.
