Queer IRC Interface

QII is a completely free Gay.com chat client, written in Java and licensed under the GPL. You can use it to connect and interact with people on Gay.com without ever loading your browser. There are no ads, no spyware, and no nag windows.

What is new in this release:

This release consists primarily of bug fixes and enhancements to the existing functionality. Here are most of the updates, in no particular order:

• "Only Join Primary Rooms" option was resetting to false whenever QII was reloaded.
• Log files now have the room's pretty name (Quahog) rather than "#555".
• Added "Private Window" item to Users menu.
• Don't deselect currently selected name in a room's user list when someone joins or leaves the room.
• Your username will now be prefixed by a space, rather than Gay.com's "-".
• Better Unicode support. Also supported in profile text.
• '.'s in names are converted to '|'s by the Gay.com chat server (for no particular reason). The profile viewer now accounts for this.
• Move profile viewer's progress bar to the profile viewer itself, and only show it when actually downloading data (ie not from local cache).
• Added toggle to hide text in the Profile Viewer.
• Added option to disable highlighting of tabs on new activity. (Have had instances of java crashing as a result of tab highlighting, with no other way to resolve the issue.)
• Cleaner crashes with pretty error messages! Hooray!
• Profile Viewer's enforcement of "one open at a time" is no longer a bad hack.
• Wrap profile text at top of channel windows (sorta). Long infolines no longer push the close button off the screen.
• QII can now automatically check for updates (this feature can be disabled in options)
• Adult profiles no longer bring up an empty image when you can't view them. (They bring up the "no photo" image instead)
• Progress bar for pass hash retrieval is now embedded in the setup dialog.
