Changelog

All notable changes to Orbit are documented here. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and the project aims to follow Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl/⌘-K quick switcher, Alt+↑/↓ to cycle conversations, Shift+Esc to mark everything read, and a ? help sheet that lists them all.
Per-channel notification levels — All / Mentions / Mute, picked from an accessible popover on the topbar bell (replaces the binary mute; existing muted channels migrate to Mute).
More plugin extension points — topbar_item and sidebar_item UI slots, plus addMessageDecorator() for per-message UI; two new example plugins (orbit-clock, orbit-copy).
Subresource Integrity for plugins — a plugins entry may be { url, integrity, crossorigin } to pin off-origin scripts; a sample deployment CSP is documented in SECURITY.md.

Accessibility — a clear :focus-visible keyboard ring, a skip-to-messages link, landmark labels (message log, sidebar, member list) and aria-labels on the emoji-only message actions.

A full, production-ready release — Orbit powers tchatou.fr.

IRCv3 client negotiating 25 capabilities: chat history, message redaction (edit/delete), multiline, reactions, replies, account registration & SASL, server-time, away/typing, Web Push, and more.
Rich composer — bold/italic/underline + mIRC colours, emoji picker, :emoji: / @nick / /command tab-completion, multiline, image upload, and per-channel drafts.
Installable PWA with an offline app shell and Web Push notifications (RFC 8291 / VAPID).
Themes — Light, Dark, Orbit, Orbit Dark and a classic yomIRC/IRC mode.
Settings — Profile, Appearance, Notifications, Account, plus live Server (network, software, TLS, users, limits, raw ISUPPORT), IRCv3 (per-capability status) and About panels.
Full internationalization — 10 languages, browser-detected and switchable.
Plugin system (window.Orbit) — operator-controlled, config-listed plugins with events, IRC actions, theming, namespaced storage and UI slots (composer_button, settings_section). Supports both quick .js plugins and compiled React/TSX plugins (externalized React), with a plugin-template/.
Runtime configuration via config.json — re-point at any IRCv3 network and re-brand without rebuilding.
Build-time version/commit injection, shown in the About panel.
