Harvey Since it has been announced that the project will not continue, it will be deprecated from the repository one day but as for when, no decision has been made. I would recommend anyone using it to start investigating alternative clients. EDIT: For anyone that missed the news https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html
BloodFeastMan Just my two cents, I really have grown fond of Quassel for IRC, not sure what your main use of Hexchat is. Also, Weechat is real nice as a terminal based app.
