Over the last few weeks we have had quite a bit of feedback from our new web chat client. As a result of this we've been able to feed back requests to the qwebirc developers who have been able to add many requested features:
-
-
* Optional Nick colour support
-
* Optional join, part and quit message hiding
-
* Optional last position indicator to track which content is new since you last focused on IRC
-
* CSS changes to highlight messages from yourself
-
* [https](https://webchat.freenode.net) support
-
* NickServ authentication
-
-
Some of the optional features are disabled by default, but can be enabled in the option pane, accessible from the menu (top left).
