[06:18] schestowitz Networks and settings remembered [06:18] schestowitz All your settings and networks will be remembered for when you come back. You won't need to be re-entering your favourite networks every time you open Kiwi anymore. [06:18] schestowitz Mobile and tablet support [06:18] schestowitz Now that over 50% of internet usage is now on mobile, Kiwi has complete mobile support with new layouts and messages. Everything is accessible with just your fingers. [06:18] schestowitz Embedded images and videos [06:18] schestowitz Opening photos and videos within Kiwi now gets pinned at the bottom of the screen. This lets you switch channels, keep talking without it going off-screen, and have that permenant youtube video playing while you're talking. [06:18] schestowitz ZNC integration [06:18] schestowitz When connecting to a ZNC server, Kiwi will now automatically detect it and look for any other networks in your ZNC account. If any are found then they are shown in a list - just one click away from connecting to it. [06:18] schestowitz Aliases editor [06:18] schestowitz A full alias editor to create command aliases to handle users in your channel, administrate your network or project, or even join multiple commands into a single helpful command. Created by a simple text editor that lets you copy/paste/share your aliases wherever you please. [06:18] schestowitz Raw IRC power [06:18] schestowitz If you're a power IRC user or like to get indepth, Kiwi now uses the raw IRC protocol directly in the browser. Look at the raw IRC messages going back and forth, send raw commands, or use it's scripting to test out new protocol ideas and experiments. [06:18] schestowitz The most IRCv3 compliant open source web IRC client [06:18] schestowitz IRC is being pushed forward by the IRCv3 working group which brings us new features that any IRC client can be using. Not only taking part, but Kiwi is one of the most IRCv3 complete web clients that exists.
