irssi is now upgraded from 0.8.12-rc1 to 0.8.12, you can read the full changelog here.
I didn’t notice any real new features in this version, it seems to be most bug fixes.
If you want to upgrade to the new version you can use the /upgrade
command in irssi to upgrade the binary without losing your connections (the backlog will however get cleared unless you use the script buf.pl available here.)
Nice.. thx for the update! 😉
