quassel-0.4.1

This is a bugfix release for the stable 0.4 branch. If you use 0.4.0 or a prior version, upgrading is heavily recommended. If you use a development version (git master), this would be a downgrade for you, as no new features compared to 0.4.0 have been added.

Our source tarball contains the source code for all platforms.

Distribution Packages

Packages for *buntu Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy (backports) are available, thanks to ScottK.
Gentoo users can simply emerge net-irc/quassel (thanks Flameeyes, jokey, billie, bonsaikitten!).
Quassel is also available in Debian (thanks deepdiver), OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch (kudos to vegai) 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:

• 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 (with 32 bit emulation support).
• Mac OS X (universal binary) Client
• Mac OS X (universal binary) Core
• Static client executable for Windows XP and Vista (Note: SSL works again in our Windows builds!)
• 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 (almost*) nightly a statically linked core for Linux, MacOSX client binaries and Windows binaries. For pure Linux 64 bit systems (i.e., without 32 bit emulation), Jannik now provides experimental static x86_64 cores. Occasionally, dileX sends us development packages for Debian.
You can get a source tarball of current git master or of any other revision via gitweb.

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.

(*) Our Linux/x86 build box has gone the way of the dodo. This will be fixed very soon now, but until then, no tarballs will be generated, and we bump the static cores manually every now and then rather than every night.

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.
