Latest release on GitHub

TChat is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is 5.0.0, published on Jul 23, 2026.

The TChat core has been largely rewritten to more closely follow a Kahn-style topological sorting algorithm. The previous module handling system had issues, particularly when unloading modules in reverse order, which could potentially lead to serious problems in the future.

As a result, module management has been almost completely redesigned in this release. We strongly recommend updating to this version to benefit from the new and more reliable modular core system.

Changelog

  • Completely rewritten the modular core system.
  • Improved module dependency management using a Kahn-style algorithm.
  • Improved module loading and unloading reliability.
  • Added support for MariaDB.
  • Added the Custom Commands module.
  • Added the Command Cooldown module.
  • Added the Chat Cooldown module.
  • Added the [IF] tag for conditional actions. See the wiki for more information.
  • Added the [FOR] tag for looping actions. See the wiki for more information.
  • Added the [PRINT] tag for printing messages.
  • Fixed spacing issues in the [MESSAGE] tag.
  • Fixed text override issues in the Banned Words module.
