What's New in SeraphIRC
2.0
September 29, 2026
Version 2.0 brings functionality for ZNC and Direct IRC connections. Use features like Ergo ircd's always-on to simulate a bouncer and keep the connection cycling out of your channels. The toolbar icons and settings menus are reworked to resemble the desktop ecosystem, bringing the platform closer to a uniform experience for mobile. Direct or ZNC networks can borrow file uploads from your connected Soju bouncers. Clearing logs to reclaim device space is now easily reachable from the UI. IRCv3 Metadata can now be passed to participating networks via Settings > Chatting > IRCv3 Metadata. Users can now press and hold on a network in the treebar and drag it to sort order of preference. This in addition to press-to-hold favoriting of channels/buffers should more easily allow users to keep their preferred conversations at the top of the view.
