Overview:
Textual is the world’s most popular application for interacting with Internet Relay Chat (IRC) chatrooms on OS X.
First appearing in 2010, Textual has since evolved and matured into the top IRC client for OS X; relied on and trusted by thousands of people.

What’s New in Version 6.0.2:
Changes in Textual 6.0.2
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
• Fixed many instances in which Textual would hang indefinitely.
• Server traffic that is logged when “/debug raw on” is enabled is now sent to a special utility window. To protect privacy, this utility window does not keep a record of any information logged to it.
• SASL EXTERNAL is now used as the authentication mechanism, without enabling it, if a certificate is configured. This behavior can be disabled using the “defaults” command.
See https://codeux.com/release-notes-602 for a list of all changes.
