This is a new release with new features and several bugfixes.

IRCv3 Support

  • Capability negotiation 3.2 (cap values, multiline replies) and cap-notify
  • tls (a.k.a. STARTTLS or opportunistic encryption)
  • SASL 3.1 and 3.2 (PLAIN and EXTERNAL mechanisms)
  • extended-join
  • account-notify
  • invite-notify
  • monitor
  • echo-message

Opportunistic encryption is disabled by default. You may enable it via the server connection settings in the preferences menu. In general, using opportunistic encryption is not recommended if the server supports a dedicated TLS port (typically port 6697).

Please see the wiki for details on how to connect to a server using SASL.

If the server supports MONITOR, Ambassador's notify list will be synchronized with the server's monitor list. This also means that if the server imposes a cap on the size of the monitor list, your notify list size will be capped in size accordingly.

The echo-message capability is not enabled by default. You can enable it manually on servers that support it by using the command /cap REQ echo-message. Note that messages you send will appear delayed as a result.
