More than three years have passed since the last release of ngIRCd – a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small or private networks – and more than 130 individual patches have accumulated in the Git “master branch” in the meantime. Some are cosmetic, some bring new functionality, others improve the documentation or fix bugs. All in all, it’s more than time for the next “big” release of ngIRCd!

And here it is, ngIRCd release 27! 🎉 https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/releases/tag/rel-27

      If by “simple GUI app” you mean something that has an embedded web browser then no, otherwise pretty much all of them unless you count the kind of third party clients that might broken at any moment by the platform because they have just reverse engineered the protocol and are not taken into account by the platform at all when making changes.
