Bug Wars: The Phantom Release

  Sputnick 

People closely following our development in git will have noticed that we have tagged a 0.4.2 release back in May. Some distros also have been shipping 0.4.2 for quite a while now. However, there never was an official release announcement. Why? Well, shortly after tagging this release, we got feedback from several users that Quassel would crash on startup, in particular (but not only) if it was started hidden to tray and one clicked the tray icon to bring it to front. With Quassel crashing c...

Fixing teh bugz: 0.4.1 released

  Sputnick 

We have recently tagged a bugfix release for the stable branch, appropriately named 0.4.1. Users of 0.4.0 are heavily recommended to upgrade. Note that no new features have been added; users of the development version from git should not use 0.4.1 as it would be a downgrade. Some of the bugs fixed include: Correctly display images in the web preview in static builds Improve selection and multi-line paste behavior Fix cert handling for identities Create a proper default identity for new netw...

Quassel IRC Proudly Presents: 0.4.0!

  Sputnick 

After about three months of hard work, the Quassel Team has tagged the brand-new and extra-shiny 0.4.0 release for you! And for extra convenience, we even have updated our downloads page! To reach this important milestone, 432 commits went into Git since 0.3.1. As usual, you can find most features we have added in the FeatureLog, and if you are really interested, you can peruse the Git history. Let me highlight the most important things right here though. KDE integration. Yes, Quassel fin...

The World in a Donut

  Sputnick 

This was one of the comments our new shiny application icon caused, and it was even suggested as our new tagline. I LOL’d :) I would like to thank again Mr. Oxygen Nuno Pinheiro for his terrific artwork for both KDE4 and Quassel. Most of the icons you see in Quassel are made by him and the rest of the Oxygen Team. Kudos! We have been fading out our old logo, the All-Seeing Eye, during the past few weeks. This was created by John “nox” Hand, who deserves kudos for his work as well, of cour...

HOWTO make your app work with Qt 4.5

  Sputnick 

With Qt 4.5-rc1 recently released, we’ve stumbled over a strange issue with Quassel. A binary compiled against Qt 4.4 would completely freeze when used with Qt 4.5. This problem mostly hit users on binary distros trying out Qt 4.5. As it turned out, recompiling Quassel against Qt 4.5 magically fixed the problem - but of course, this is not an option for distro packagers, as they will have to provide packages built against 4.4 at least until 4.5 hits their distros proper. So we hunted for tha...
