Another Bugfix Release: 0.5.2

Sputnick 

We have another bugfix release for the 0.5 series. Quassel-0.5.2 mostly contains build system fixes for recent versions of KDE and Qt. Some issues with netsplit handling have also been fixed. Also, if you accidentally had your menu bar vanish, you can now use the context menu on the chatview to re-enable it ;-) For workarounding the recent flooding issues with Freenode, we have added a quick way to ignore CTCP requests. Since Freenode has fixed the problem the other day, using this should no...

Supporting New Cuties - Quassel 0.5.1

Sputnick 

We have just tagged, packaged and published a bugfix and maintenance release for the 0.5 branch. Most notably, 0.5.1 fixes some problems with the newly released Qt 4.6-rc1. Also, newly joined channels are now properly rejoined on the next core restart. The scrolling behavior on initial backlog fetch for a channel has been fixed, and some more small stuff. This release also includes updated translations for French, Italian, and Finnish. And you’ll get jussi01’s dark stylesheet as a bonus! An...

Get The Text - Call For Translations

Sputnick 

We have now switched the git master version of Quassel to support gettext translations (.po files) as opposed to Qt translations (.ts files). Qt >= 4.5 provides the tool lconvert which can convert between the two, and we (al, in fact) have modified the build system to use that. Our hope is that using the wide-spread .po format will attract more translators, as they can use their usual tools and workflows. We currently have more or less current/complete and actively maintained translations...

Good News Everyone: Presenting Quassel 0.5.0!

Sputnick 

It’s been a while that we have announced a new release. Somehow, 0.4.2 and 0.4.3 never made it to the frontpage… Anyway, we haven’t been lazy and quietly worked on bringing you a brand new feature release: quassel-0.5.0! You can find most features we have added in the FeatureLog, and if you are really interested, you can also browse the Git history. A list of the most important things has been added below for your convenience. First though I want to get a few important notes out: Client/Cor...

Short Notice: Protocol Break

Sputnick 

As we have tagged a 0.5 release candidate now, which has made its way in Kubuntu Karmic and Jaunty backports, among others, we should point out that the client/core protocol used in 0.5 is not compatible to the 0.4.x releases anymore. This means you’ll need to use a 0.5-rc1 client with a 0.5-rc1 core. Same for current git master, of course. The protocol change gives you a great performance boost in the core, in particular for startup, shutdown, and joining/quitting large channels. So it’s def...
