Last update I changed the save format from multiple ini files to a single XML file and added the option to send custom commands when connecting to IRC servers (for identifying with NickServ or anything else, every server is different). I also (because of the frequent updates) added an update feature. It checks at startup (and whenever else you want) for a new version and if it finds one, opens the download link in your browser. I also put the finishing touches on PID generation to make each instance have a different CID.
