yes, works for me too.

I haven't tested with a nickname that needs to be authenticated, so
cannot report on that.

To join an IRC channel you have to

/join <#channelname> <password>

If the channel name doesn't need a password, doesn't matter, just specify
something random. Then in the server tab, I see the topic of the joined channel
showing up, and also a list of the users in the channel, but, a tab for
the channel is not opening.

What seens to work is if you write a private message to someone
/msg someone
That opens up a new tab with that given user.

I don't get what you mean with "pure" here.

I resisted to dig into it too much yet, since I don't want to break potential
working on MAC. Maybe you could test it on the mac and see if it works there
or facing the same problems.
Hope that when we know the state on the mac, at least older versions where its
supposed to work, that would make decisions easier, how to proceed.

cheers,
Sebastian
