What’s going on?

Sputnick 

Got asked today what’s happening on the Quassel front, since there haven’t been many commits in the past few days, which, after several weeks of frantically committing stuff, is quite unusual… To calm down everybody: even though all devs currently are quite busy at work and in the so-called, yet mythical “Real Life” (which explains while we have gotten somewhat more quiet lately), we are still working on Quassel as well :) Read on for details on Quassel’s current state and our plans for the n...

Releasing the (hopefully) final Alpha for Quassel 0.2.0!

Sputnick 

It is with great pleasure that we announce immediate availability of what will probably/hopefully/may be the last and final alpha release before we go into the beta cycle. As usual, this alpha release brings you bugfixes and new features, UI tweaks and more goodies, and we highly recommend upgrading. Especially since we fixed a very nasty issue in Quassel Core… and yeah, the fonts should now be working as well :) Also, we can finally provide a precompiled Quassel Core and monolithic Quassel f...

YAQIA!

We’ve released Yet Another Quassel IRC Alpha! Besides various bugfixes (the nick selector works again!), quassel-0.2.0-alpha4 brings you some real nice new features: The backlog is now dynamically replayed from the core.

This gives you the possibility to scroll up "infinitely", well, up to the point where you first entered that channel... Server passwords work now. Just enter the...

Nightly Snapshots

We now provide nightly source tarballs, as well as a statically linked core for Linux, MacOSX client binaries and Windows binaries. Please be aware of the fact that these binaries are generated automatically from current SVN HEAD, which means they might be in an untested and/or non-working state. We do not recommend using them until you know what you’re doing, but since people kept asking for them, well, here they are :) Please note that we still tweak and break the core/client protocol on a...

Static alpha3 core for Linux

Sputnick 

Many people don’t have Qt installed on their servers (even though the needed parts can be installed without X11), which makes using Quassel quite cumbersome. I have been looking into providing a static core (i.e. one that does not have external dependencies like Qt) for a while now, but on Linux, this is surprisingly hard. Anyway, on the download page you’ll now find an experimental core to try out even on servers without Qt. Note that this is highly experimental, since certain features seem...
