IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is an application-layer protocol for real-time messaging. Designed primarily for group communication, it also allows for private messaging and data exchange, including file sharing. IRC offers both group and private communication. Group communication has several options. A user can send a message to a list of users, which is then sent to the server, which then selects individual users and sends a copy of the message to each user.

Peculiarities:

– Address book to keep track of when friends are online and offline

– Auto-completion for nicknames, teams, and channels

Textual (Mac IRC Client) A Brief Overview

Textual is a popular IRC client built specifically for macOS, developed by Codeux Software. It’s no longer available on the Mac App Store and is distributed only as a standalone download. The app has long been known for its clean, native Mac-style interface and deep customization options.

Version Status

I don’t currently have separate, officially documented release notes for version 7.2.7 the most recent version listed in the official knowledge base is 7.2.6. That release included:

• Updated the model list used by the sysinfo command
• Fixed an issue where certificates couldn’t be selected for identification in Server Properties
• Fixed the find prompt showing only a “Cancel” button

Important note: Codeux’s official knowledge base clearly states that Textual has been sunset meaning active development has ended and the app will no longer receive updates. If you’re looking for specific 7.2.7 changelog details, it may be a minor/patch build that hasn’t been widely documented yet, so it’s worth checking directly with Codeux or the app’s built-in update notes.
