quassel-0.2.0-rc1

This is a release candidate. There might still be bugs, and probably missing features. Please refer to the FAQ for known issues.

Source:

Our source tarball contains the source code for all platforms.

Distribution Packages

Packages for *buntu usually appear soon after the tarball release. Please see the FAQ for installation instructions. Thanks to apachelogger for doing great packaging work!
Packages for Debian are being worked on (kudos to deepdiver) and should soon be available as well.
Gentoo users can simply emerge net-irc/quassel (thanks Flameeyes!).
OpenSUSE packages are available in the repositories. Quassel is also available in Fedora, Arch and other distros.

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

Precompiled versions:
  • Experimental statically linked core for Linux/x86 systems.
    This core does not require Qt or SSL installed and should run out-of-the-box on most current Linux systems on x86 or x86_64. Please check console output at start and report any problems, as we don't have much experience with static linking on Linux.
  • Mac OS X (universal binary) Client
  • Mac OS X (universal binary) Core
  • Static client executable for Windows XP and Vista
  • Static core executable for Windows XP and Vista
  • Static monolithic client executable for Windows XP and Vista
    (This contains both core and client and can be used like a traditional IRC client, without requiring an external core.)

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

Nightly Builds

We provide nightly source tarballs, as well as a statically linked core for Linux, MacOSX client binaries and Windows binaries. For pure Linux 64 bit systems (i.e., without 32 bit emulation), adamt is so nice to provide experimental static x86_64 cores.

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

Please note that code you get from this repository is not intended for productive use (unless it's tagged as a released version, of course, in which case the usual alpha/beta disclaimers apply ;-)). We like to break our codebase, config files, database schemas and all kinds of stuff. We sometimes commit non-compiling revisions to facilitate collaborative development. Running such an unstable version might trash your settings, your backlog and maybe your computer. 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. For example, the current nightly clients do not run with alpha4 cores. 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.
