The last usable, reliable, stable release is Aqua 0.17.3 from 3 years ago, without the disgusting restrictions the last time X-Chat could be called "software", not an "app". The app sandboxing reduces all plugin functionality to moot, what is the point of having Python/Perl plugins when 98% of the system remains inaccessible? Before this abomination took hold, X-Chat Aqua was decent software rather than fixing up the codebase and bringing it on par with Linux/Windows, we have this. Adding it to the appstore meant adhering to Microsoft's "guidelines", which effectively strip down fully functional computer software, into measly sub-par, semi-functional "apps". This was good software until the current dev became hellbent on distributing it through the appstore rather than traditional means.
