The latest stable release is version 2.9.5, which was released on April 1st 2013. Version 2.9.6 is being developed for a future release and is available for testing. History HexChat started its life in 2009 as freakschat, a maintenance branch of the XChat source-code that only provided Windows builds. In 2010 freakschat was superseded by XChat-WDK. The first release of XChat-WDK was in March 2010 with build 1409. In July of 2012 the client was re-branded to HexChat and the development portal moved to GitHub.
