Thanks for responding Juanito!
current hexchat in 11.x 64bit repo is version 2.10.2
Hexchat changelog (
https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html) mentions:
2.12.4 (2016-12-10)
- fix building against OpenSSL 1.1
2.14.0 (2018-03-10)
- rewrite build system in Meson
- fix building against OpenSSL 1.1.0
2.14.3 (2019-12-20)
- fix various incorrect parsing of IRC messages relating to trailing parameters
Note, the above are only the most important highlights.
It appears to me this means we'd need to upgrade to at least 2.14.0, but preferably 2.14.3 (which then is also the latest release) because fixing it's input stream parser to correctly handle trailing paramaters in the irc messagestream isn't the only very important fix.
It doesn't feel right to me to unilaterally decide for the community what compile-time options are to be selected (script-support, which supported script-languages, theme support, etc.).
I also haven't yet encountered this 'mason' thing and have some stuff open in my current session, I'd need at least a day before I can do a clean base-line reboot.
Perhaps, the best thing to do is for me to post the available compile-time options asap, which options were currently selected in 2.10.2 (from the src link Rich provided), and what seems to be equivalent (couse if it was just for me I'd disable script support and 'send system stats' etc..).
What's the usual workflow here (when deciding compiled options in preparing an extension for the community)?
