Removed an outdated performance note comment before the cached match state variables and a redundant comment in match_nick(); behavior remains unchanged.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.
Updated the network helper API to use uint32_t and standard allocation/duplication routines, dropping the GLib include from the implementation and adding <stdint.h> to the header.
Replaced glib string/util usage in the win32 sysinfo backend with local helpers, a small string builder, and Windows UTF-8 conversion, removing the glib dependency there.
Integrated STS capability handling and connection lifecycle hooks (ignore CAP DEL, trigger upgrades, reschedule on disconnect, new server fields).
Initialized and cleaned up STS state during startup/shutdown to persist policies across sessions.
- Replaced the dark mode checkbox with an Auto/Dark/Light color mode selector and ensured palette edits use the resolved mode.
- Applied the resolved color mode consistently across palette saving and GTK styling in the user list and channel tree/theme application paths.
