I used to do fresh installs (due to a general fear of incremental upgrades failing) until I tried using their upgrade guides. I've never looked back. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade54.html

To counter all the neutral to negative feedback, I want to chime in and say I was very impressed. The execution speed with the aesthetics excite me. The gazillon-terminal-window- opens junkie in me always looking for a better terminal emulator -- especially with reasonable Unicode support. Keep up it the great work EFL team!

Re:Multiparty Encryption in Public IRC Channels with IRCSRP on Tuesday September 06, 2011 @07:19PM (#2967679)
There were no other solutions for this functionality when I searched in beginning of 2011. XMPP is great, but IRC is ubiquitous. IRC is also very easy to implement plugins against.

The central authority of Dave is by design.

You are correct, mixing the should be deprecated in favor of : join unencrypted room && auth with dave && invite to secure room. But that feature is yet to be implemented.

Thank you for the feedback.
