A new version of Polari, a terrific looking IRC client for Linux desktops, is out.

Much of the improvement comes by way of the latest libadwaita, with Polari v45 adding support for (among other features) those natty new full-height sidebars featured heavily in GNOME 45 core apps.

As well as being the only Linux IRC client (that I’m aware of) making use of GTK4/libadwiata Polari has another key distinction: it adapts well for use on mobile/smaller screens.

The way it collapses leaves & joins in those screenshots seems like it could get annoying; we don't need to see every leave and join, but it's good to see when someone who has been among the most recent people talking leave.
Maybe it already does that. 💁🏻‍♀️

I don't like this. GTK 2 I liked more than, say, QT 3 or QT 4.

But the way GTK and GNOME are going now is kinda sad.

Though an acquaintance from one place loves GNOME exactly as it is now, so to each his own. I'll admit it seems nice for people who want things looking and working dumb (in a good sense, maybe).
