Usage notes

Standard external plugins

Starting from this version Tkabber Starpack contains all the standard external plugins pre-packaged, but none of them is activated by default (because they're plugins, after all).

To activate a plugin, you have to enable it. To do so activate the Services → Add/remove plugins main menu entry and you will be presented with the plugin manager.

Stream compression

Due to various technical reasons Tkabber Starpack doesn't support stream compression. If you need it consider using Tkabber Pack instead.
