New Features

  • Chat history is now colourized on load
  • The Toxic config can now be reloaded without restarting the client via Ctrl+r
  • Added a config setting that allows you to hide the contents of desktop notifications
  • Added a config setting to set friend aliases
  • Groupchats now have a status bar at the top of the window displaying the group topic
  • When logging is enabled with the /log on command, the log path is now printed to the window
  • The /log command with no arguments now prints the log path

Changes

  • Added the : character to the list of characters that may not be used in a nick (this character is reserved for log parsing)
  • The page up and page down keys now default to scrolling half a window instead of a single line. Ctrl-v and Ctrl-f now scroll a single line instead of half the window.
  • Tab-completion with a lone / character will no longer spam the window with every possible command
  • Chat log files are now limited to 100MiB per session to mitigate certain types of DOS attacks (sessions are reset when a window is closed, the log is manually disabled, or when the client is restarted)

Bug fixes

  • Chat history now stays scrolled to the bottom after resizing the terminal window, unless it wasn't already at the bottom
  • Friend tab name default colours now match custom themes
  • Fixed some issues with window scrolling when a message contains a tab or vertical escape sequence
  • The Python API compiles again
  • Doing the /whois command on yourself in a groupchat no longer shows an incorrect value

New Features

  • Added support for friend, group and conference specific configuration options (see the toxic.conf man page or the example config file for details)
  • Tab auto-completion now works for command arguments when appropriate (/color, /status and /game)
  • Added a new global command /color <color> that changes the colour of the focused window's tab name.
  • Added some new colours to use for UI customization (pink, brown, grey and orange). Note: these are buggy on some terminal emulators.
  • Added the ability to get a conference unique identifier with the /chatid command (this is for use in the config file; you cannot join a conference with this identifier like you can with groupchats).

Changes

  • The toxic configuration file is now tied to your profile. e.g. if you run toxic -f secondary.tox, toxic will look for a config file named secondary.conf in the same directory, and will create one if it does not exist. Toxic still uses the default config file if neither the -f or -c options are passed.
  • The --config <path> option will now create the config file path if it does not exist instead of reporting an error.
  • Set a more reasonable default window size for video chats.

Bug fixes

  • The peer list border colour in groups and conferences now matches custom colour schemes
  • Fixed incompatible pointer types being passed as an argument which could lead to memory corruption or a crash (this bug only affected the unreleased version 0.14.0).

  • Allow setting a unique name for each group which are separate from your main tox name

  • When you use the /ignore command in a groupchat, peers will now stay ignored for the duration of your toxic session, even if they disconnect from the group and come back later

  • Removed auto-complete for some invalid commands in groupchat windows
