Fixing Bugs - Quassel 0.12.4

  Sputnick 

Hi all, while feature development is still slow – too slow for my own taste, really, but what can you do – some rather annoying bugs have been fixed that warrant another maintenance release. Most notably, Tucos (thanks a lot!) has figured out that invalid handshake data may cause the core to crash. Another annoying issue was the lack of support for the STATUSMSG feature available in some IRC networks. This one was recently abused by idio^Wpeople to pop up tons of spam queries for some of our...

Long Time No See - Quassel 0.12.3

  Sputnick 

Hi all, it’s been a while that we did a new release, and it’s still “just” a bugfix release this time. Turns out that real life is still keeping us busy… but it’s the good kind of busy, so there’s that. Thankfully, we have a bunch of cool people in the community who contribute patches, fixes and features while the core development team is on semi-hiatus – many thanks to all of you! Anyway, say hello to <a href=”/pub/quassel-0.12.3.tar.bz2>Quassel 0.12.3</a>. Many fixes went into...

A Bumpy Road - Quassel 0.12.2!

  Sputnick 

Hi all, I’m happy to announce the release of Quassel IRC version 0.12.2! This version now fully supports KDE Frameworks, so Quassel behaves properly in a Plasma 5 environment. Other new features include an improved password hashing algorithm, proper unicode-aware message splitting for both normal and CTCP messages, improved handling of PostgreSQL database connections, a bunch of bugfixes and updated translations. If you connect to a 0.12.x core, you can also now change your core password fro...

New Cuties - Quassel 0.11.0

  Sputnick 

Hi all, It’s that time of the year again for another Quassel release! For 0.11.0, we’ve focused mainly on full support for Qt 5.2+ (in addition to Qt 4.6+, which will be supported alongside for the time being). Since Qt 4.x has not seen much development for quite some time, and subsequently we’ve missed out on much work that has been done by the Qt developers, this marks a major improvement in particular for our users on Windows and Mac OSX. Support for both platforms has seen many improveme...

A Bleeding Heart

  Sputnick 

Hi all, as you should have heard by now, a major security vulnerability was discovered in OpenSSL. This does affect Quassel as well, as by default the connection between a Quassel client and core is encrypted using SSL (or, rather, TLS); in particular, it affects you if you run a core that supports SSL and is exposed to the public internet (clients, both monolithic and stand-alone, are not affected because they don’t offer an SSL-encrypted service). If you host a Quassel core, make sure to ...
