Now that they're most likely not developing HexChat any more, it might be time for a change.

Does it no longer serve your purpose?

Noy getting bug fixes? No new features? I'm not married to one client and there's a boatload of IRC clients out there to play with.

why does it have to keep being developed? what else does it need?

For Linux, at least, it would at least need continual development to support new Linux distros, and new versions of existing Linux distros.

what bugs? what new features do you want? you can add anything with scripting. do you even use irc or are you just pretending.

I'm with you here. Especially with any software working across a network, at a minimum security updates should be a thing. I'm not sure it's necessary to keep development going full time, as long as someone can provide security updates.

Check out the self-hosted Web-based client TheLounge (https://thelounge.chat). If you have a place to run it, like maybe a NAS that's always on, it's pretty nice to use from any platform with a modern browser. It even does push notifications to mobile browsers. Also it makes it nice and easy to switch from computer to computer (or device or whatever).

The way I've got it set up is: SSL proxy -> TheLounge -> ZNC -> IRC.

Thanks for the heads up. I have no use for these things (because I run terminal clients) but it is always nice to see what else is out there.

The problem is Mirc licences are not long term anymore :(

I always liked mIRC. But I haven't used it much in a while, and I think the UI has changed a bit.

I suggest looking into AdiIRC; it's free, and is compatible with mIRC scripts as well as extended colors (16-99).
