4.2

It's been a while! We've got quite a few fixes in this version as well as a new feature we're trying out.

Public Avatars

You can now choose an image to use as a public avatar visible to other IRCCloud users. Take a photo or choose a picture from your account settings screen and make sure you have both the "User icons" and "Avatars" settings enabled in the "Message Layout" settings.

Faces can make IRC a friendlier place, but feel free to just use a picture of your dog or favourite eldritch symbol if you prefer!
