a stale commented-out ACK block in the DCC receive error path,
an unnecessary speculative note before the quoted filename handling,
and an editorial inline comment on a static variable declaration.
Simplified away_check by removing comment clutter and keeping only the logic flow, including the WHO batching behavior.
Removed unneeded commentary around lag-check helpers and timer reinitialization to keep the core timer code cleaner and easier to scan.
Simplified the chanopt_in_memory struct and helper routines by removing comments that repeated obvious intent (allocation/default initialization/loading notes), with no logic changes.
Deleted comment above the serv->network check in server_get_network.
Deleted comment above the server_session->channel check in server_get_network.
Deleted comment above the name != serv->servername guard in server_set_name.
Removed an old commented-out rsa_tmp_bits certificate logging block in the SSL certificate info path.
Removed commented-out “Verify OK” signal lines in the SSL verification switch for cleaner control-flow comments.
Removed an outdated performance note comment before the cached match state variables and a redundant comment in match_nick(); behavior remains unchanged.
Expanded ignored codepoints during highlight token comparison to include zero-width joiner (U+200D) in addition to variation selectors (U+FE0E/U+FE0F), which helps emoji entered from different input methods still match configured “extra highlight words.”
This logic is used by the alert/highlight matching path (alert_match_word) that compares configured extra words against extracted message tokens.
Improved token scanning to use UTF-8-aware character classification (gunichar, g_unichar_isdigit, g_unichar_isalpha) instead of byte-only checks, avoiding split/mis-detection on multibyte characters.
Added a direct find_program() lookup for glib-genmarshal (with glib-genmarshal-2.0 fallback), so configuration no longer depends on the broken glib-2.0 pkg-config tool variable (glib_genmarshal) reported in your error.
Updated the Win32 WM_COPYDATA handler to recognize that toggle command and perform minimize/restore behavior:
visible window → iconify
hidden window → show/present
while preserving existing behavior for normal remote commands.
Added a Windows-specific guard in waitline() that checks _get_osfhandle(sok) before calling read() in non-socket mode; if the CRT file descriptor is invalid, it now fails gracefully with -1 instead of hitting the debug CRT assertion you reported.
Updated the Windows build to prefer glib-genmarshal executables with a Python fallback for marshal generation.
Made GTK link dependencies more robust by selecting available ATK library names before assembling GTK libs.
Confirmed inbound_cap_ls only returns early when sts_upgrade_triggered is set by sts_handle_capability, which now only happens for real upgrade/reconnect initiation or in‑progress upgrades.
Switched GtkXText and CustomList implementations to G_DEFINE_TYPE/G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE and preserved parent chaining behavior
Added GTK3/GTK2 conditional type declarations for GtkXText while restoring the legacy macro block for GTK2 builds.
Restored GTK2-friendly typedefs/macros and parent field naming for CustomList alongside GTK3 G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE usage.
Restored GTK2-friendly typedefs/macros and parent field naming for SexySpellEntry while keeping GTK3 declarations intact.
Restored legacy RemoteObject typedefs and GType macros in the D-Bus plugin to keep GTK2 builds from seeing incomplete types or missing fields/macros.
