Hexchat: New release?

Created on 29 Oct 2020  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: hexchat/hexchat

There hasn't been a new release since Dec 21, 2019, coming up on a year ago. While using Fedora 32 I downgraded my version of pango to workaround this underscore issue. It has since been fixed in master, and I have upgraded to Fedora 33. The downgrade of pango on Fedora 33 causes nautilus to crash with
nautilus: symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: pango_attr_insert_hyphens_new.

I tried taking the PR patches and merging them into the official 2.14.3 release. What I found is neither applies cleanly, because so much has changed since the last release. I could guess as to the correct way to merge them, but I found it easier to just rebuild the src.rpm with a copy of master. This solves the problem for me, but not for anyone else using a package based on the official release.

Why hasn't there been a release?

When can we expect one?

Is there some way I can help?

The python plugin needs a few fixes then I'd do a release.

Yeah, sadly HexChat development are very slow. But I would rather see more bug fixes than major feature implementation :-) Still I think that @TingPing does a very good job, considering low resources. Maybe everyone could donate more to support him, than he might do more ^_^
Everyone use that "Sponsor" link on HexChat github page!

@TingPing did not see this post, before I posted https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/2548 sorry.
