I just took a look at how Launchpad organizes the download-links, its horrible!

thats the url for the rev129 taken from the top-page, I cant abstract it or guess the path of future releases... nor do I want to code a crawler which parses the code-page of bIRC

The recent Rev130 has an update-client inside, its not totally bug free yet but its good as first draft.
Please use and test around as possible, Vars to set are: update="true" and branch="main" or branch="dev" - The update will be stored in ~/.bIRC/update.sh so it wont kill your working copy if it bugs, the update-client will keep track of updates and check if its necessary, if you need to flush its "memory", remove ~/.bIRC/update.log.
