项目历史

The public release history visible on GitHub includes 0.12.x tags carrying 2001 changelog text, including Rex Feany entries for the 0.12.0 and 0.12.1 releases. Later tags show continued maintenance through the 0.13 line, including SSL-related work in 0.13.0 in November 2005 and a 0.13.9 tag in February 2021.

Xaric's homepage remained deliberately modest about the project's scope: it emphasizes being simpler than related IRC clients rather than presenting a broad feature list. That positioning is the main source-backed history available for the project.

使用方式

Xaric is used as a terminal IRC client for Unix-like systems. In package-manager terms it is a lightweight, old-school IRC client for users who want an ircII/BitchX-style interface with color and without a large scripting environment.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Xaric is significant mostly as a preserved member of the classic Unix IRC-client lineage. Its package appeal is not broad adoption but continuity: a small GPL IRC client with releases spanning from early-2000s IRC culture into modern source-hosted maintenance.
