SimpleIRCLib for Csharp

THIS LIBRARY IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT STARTING AT V2.0.0 THIS LIBRARY IS NOT BACK-WARDS COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS!

Development

I will try to fix (significant) bugs as quick as possible, but due to my study taking a rollercoaster dive in a few days it might take a while before an actual update will appear. It is very barebone and does need some refinement. So, progress in development will come down to how much free time I have and how much of it I want to spend working on this library.

Todos

  • Some DCC fixes, most things seem to work, but there are some odd cases where it might not work.
  • More readable code (getting better)
  • Renaming some stupidly named names

Disclaimer

This library is still in alpha stadium, many things might go wrong and therefore I am not responsible for whatever happens while you use this application.
