I was wondering if support of the IRC Protocol could be added to future versions of Adium.

Why won't it happen? It seems logical and totally awesome to have IRC included.

There are support options on IRC and yet you can't reach them from the application that it originates.

Plus, GAIM supports IRC already.

Sorry, but I think this bug deserves a better answer than "not going to happen".

(changing component back to 'other'. pardon my error.)

IRC is not an IM service. if Adium supported IRC, we would need to support topics, modes, and kicks, and we have no infrastructure in place for that.

it could happen if that were added - but none of the developers care enough to add it. if you really want IRC support in Adium, write a plug-in to add it.

btw, priority=high is absurd.

Moving to 1.5 for our focus on group chat

Considering Adium is based on Gaim code, I don't see how this would be so difficult...

As well as a new account type to interface with the gaim code, we would need a bunch of group chat related bug fixes, and support for: /commands channel lists that don't suck modes etc...

I'd be happy with non-channel support, but just being able to bug buddies by private message on IRC - lots of people I know are available only via IRC most of the time...

funny .. i am a new user of gaim and just got a mac .. odd that mac can't do irc but maybe since it is finally going to a real processor<G>

Is there a reason that adium is unable to handle irc since gaim handles it quite well?

thanks

Mac does of course do IRC!

Adium doesnt do IRC because its not an IM, read the ticket!

On the threadsubject, I really think Adium IRC support should be really bareboned..

I think Adium IRC support should be non-existent...

I'm looking forward to IRC support in 1.5 -- Adium is useful in my enterprise and I'd like to not have Yet Another program to install just to jump on support channels and discuss items. Also, running an IRC server for company / private group chat is much more established than Jabber / et al. It's not like we're looking for MS Comic Chat support. ;)

I think this feature would be a terrific addition to Adium. Adium is the recommended OS X build of Gaim ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaim). Not only is the UI much prettier, but it saves the CPU load of running X11 in addition to gaim (this is the very reason I use Adium). I think many users of Adium desire it for the same as Gaim and would find the addition of IRC quite valuable (if not they would not expect it to be built into the application already).

Unless anyone has any major issues with it, let's enable irc in 1.4.

For all with little patience: You can download the latest sources and build them with Xcode. It contains the IRC Service.AdiumLibpurplePlugin.

(In [25038]) Made IRC part of the default Purple Service rather than an external plugin. Fixes #231. Please make separate tickets for specific issues which should be addressed before releasing with IRC support, such as topic display. :)
