Into the Double Digits - Quassel 0.10.0 Is Out!

Sputnick 

Hi all, we proudly announce the latest release of Quassel IRC, version 0.10.0! As promised, development has become more active in the past few months (both because we gained several new contributors (thanks a bunch!), and I myself have finally some more time for development), so besides a host of bugfixes that already went into 0.9.x, this development cycle also saw various new features as listed in the ChangeLog. Besides, for example, various improvements related to SSL connections, optiona...

Yet Another Important Update: Quassel 0.9.2

Sputnick 

Hi all, the last update in the 0.9.x series has been released only a few weeks ago, and now it’s already time for another one. Besides various bugfixes (among those, Phonon notifications play sound again!), and a bunch of new and improved translations, the main reason for this one is, unfortunately, another vulnerability: with a carefully manipulated client, you can retrieve the backlog of other users on the quasselcore you’re using. Proper authentication is still needed, so this will only a...

We Have Mailing Lists!

Sputnick 

Hi all, finally (after years of pushing and prodding for it), we now have mailing lists for Quassel IRC.

So now we offer the following lists: quassel-announce This is a read-only list, where the development team will send important announcements to. We highly recommend dis...

Mandatory Upgrade: Quassel 0.9.1

Sputnick 

TL;DR: If you’re running Quassel Core or the stand-alone, monolithic client with Qt 4.8.5+ and PostgreSQL, you need to upgrade immediately! Looks like Qt changed the string escaping rules in their PostgreSQL driver for Qt 4.8.5, which unfortunately may cause database corruption or data loss if you’re running Quassel Core or the monolithic client with a PostgreSQL database and that Qt version. Older versions of Qt are safe, as are the pre-built packages for Windows, MacOSX and the static core...

Onwards and Upwards - Quassel 0.9.0!

Sputnick 

Yes, yes, I know. Again I have been too quiet on this page, while several major changes have happened in my real life. However, things are slowly settling down, and I could spend more time on Quassel again during the past few months. And as usual, the community has been active as well providing patches, fixes and features - thank you all for that! So without further ado, I present to you Quassel 0.9.0! A list of the most important changes can be found in the freshly updated ChangeLog - impr...
