quassel-0.6.1

0.6.x clients are compatible to 0.5.x cores and vice versa. Note, however, that you won't get some features with an outdated core, and that you might get (a lot of) (harmless) warnings spammed on your console if you mix 0.5 with 0.6.

The database schema and config file format have been updated since 0.5. As always, we recommend making backups before starting your 0.6 core or client for the first time. Also remember that downgrades are not supported.

Our source tarball contains the source code for all platforms.

Distribution Packages

Packages for various *buntu versions are available, thanks to ScottK and apachelogger.
Gentoo users can simply emerge net-irc/quassel (thanks Flameeyes, jokey, billie, bonsaikitten, scarabeus!).
Quassel is also available in Debian (thanks deepdiver), OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch (kudos to vegai), Exherbo and other distros; the new release should appear soon. Fink users on Mac can obtain an X11 version of Quassel via the unstable package repository, packaged by jack-. Note that we also provide precompiled native MacOSX binaries (see below).

If you would like to provide packages for your distribution, please contact us!

Precompiled versions:

Static binaries contain everything they need to run and don't require Qt to be installed.

Development Snapshot Builds

Some of our users provide binaries of development snapshots on a regular basis:

Please be aware of the fact that these binaries are generated automatically from the current master branch of the Git repository, which means they might be in an untested and/or non-working state and possibly screw your config. See below for even more disclaimers.

Git Access

Our Git repository can be accessed by pointing your browser to http://git.quassel-irc.org?p=quassel.git. Or you might clone the repository as follows:
git clone git://git.quassel-irc.org/quassel.git

You can get a source tarball of current git master or of any other revision via gitweb.

The code you get from this repository is not intended for productive use. We sometimes break things or commit experimental features. However, we do try to keep the master branch in a usable and compiling state most of the time, as we have many users building from that despite all our disclaimers ;-) Breakages usually get reported very quickly.

Please note however that we might upgrade configuration files or the database scheme without prior notice, and you may not be able to run older versions afterwards, as we don't support downgrades. Sometimes we might upgrade the core/client protocol, so you won't be able to use a stable client with an experimental core or vice versa. You have been warned!

Please note also that we still tweak and break the core/client protocol on a regular basis. This means that your client sometimes will require a certain core revision and the other way round. Both client and core will warn in this case and refuse the connection, but you should be aware of that fact anyway (especially since downgrades of config files or the database are usually not possible, so trying a client or core that is "too new" and auto-upgrades your config might require you to upgrade the other component as well!)

If you are still interested, you might always stop by in #quassel (Freenode) and ask us for the current state or a stable revision.
