Sputnick 

So a couple days ago, I had a nice surprise in my mailbox: </img> Sent by jussi01 all the way from Finland to Germany, as a huge Thank You for the development team :) Needless to say that, while it might not increase productivity at our next devmeeting, it surely increases the dev team’s motivation to continue to make Quassel rock! Thanks a bunch jussi01, and we’re looking forward to crack that bottle open for reaching the Ballmer Peak soonish :) On an unrelated note, the Quassel te...

Let there be, uhm, 0.3.0…1!

Sputnick 

After quite a long while, we finally present to you a new shiny Quassel IRC release! It so happened that we decided to call it 0.3.0.1, which, as attentive readers will certainly notice in an instant, is not the long-expected 0.2.0 (and not even 0.3.0, for that matter). So, uhm, what’s up with those Quassel developers and their versioning scheme? As some of you know, we have been working on a rewrite of the old ChatWidget for quite some time now, and it was always planned that this rewrite w...

rc1 will (hopefully) be the last Release Candidate… ever!

Just to give you a heads-up: With the release of 0.2.0 (which we expect during the next few weeks) we’ll switch to a versioning scheme that is more consistent to other projects.

The latter made sense as long as we didn’t have a version that we considered complete enough to be a real release. Based on user feedback and our own experience, we feel quite confident about releasin...

Releasing a candidate

Sputnick 

After being on a bugfixing spree the past couple of weeks, the Quassel Team proudly gives you our first-ever Release Candidate of what shall become quassel-0.2.0. Since the 0.2 branch has been in feature freeze for a while, you probably won’t find much new stuff (except for the occasional feature that might have crept in completely unnoticed of course ;-)), but on the other hand you will also find less bugs than in the previous releases, so grab it while it’s still steaming!

Mac OS X nightlys back on track

EgS 

After all the hazzle that came with the switch from svn to git and qmake to cmake, I’m glad to tell you, that the nightly builds for Mac OS X are available again. Currently there are only Mac OS X nightlys for 0.2 but that is about to change soonish. Get them as usual at http://quassel-irc.org/nightly/macosx/
