What's New in version 2.6.25:

• New feature (minor): "Cannot send to channel" error message is now displayed in the channel buffer instead of the server buffer.
• Bugfix (minor): the /msg command no longer automatically opens a private message window, or sets focus to an already open private message window. The /query command should be used instead to open/set focus to a private message window.
