2017-12-29: KVIrc 5.0.0 Beta 1 Released

After some years and a couple of alpha releases we now have a beta of 5.0.0. Well.. it's marked "beta" but you'll probably find it pretty much stable.

Grab the sources from the ftp server. Binary packages in various forms are available here. Please note that the binaries may be marked with the internal version 4.9.3.

Several people have worked on the codebase and ultimately on this release. Many of them hang daily around #kvirc@Freenode. Come and say Hi!

Happy New Year and Have Fun on IRC! :)
