AmIRC 3.6 released

[Piru]

AmIRC 3.6 has been released along with the new web site http://www.amirc.org/

AmIRC 3.6 is the first amiga IRC client to support UPnP port forwarding. AmIRC 3.6 also supports turbo and passive DCC modes, making it work much better behind a NAT/firewall. A long standing bug with resuming DCC SEND has been fixed as well.

The full change log for AmIRC 3.6 is as follows:

When I hit the connect button, it tries to connect for a while and then times out and locks up my OS4 system.  I am wondering if I need to have a previous installation with a lower version number.  Is AmIRC 3.6 an update or a complete version?  Note, I am trying AmIRC v3.6 for AmigaOS/68020.

In contrast, the AmIRC 3.6+ beta for AmigaOS4 available on OS4Depot works just fine.  However, it is an update to AmIRC 3.5.  I had to download the latest official AmIRC 3.5 demo archive from AmiNet or the Vapor FTP site and install it, then add some files from the new AmIRC 3.6+ beta.

That's my feature wish too. I want a "tree view" on the left side with networks as branches and channels/queries as leafs, like konversation does it.
