Yes, Quassel IRC even runs on Windows Vista!

Well, if you don't mind running software that's not ready for prime time yet, you can contact us, and we might be able to give you an svn account or provide you a snapshot.
You should be aware of the fact that things not only break frequently, but also we might and do change the Quassel configuration and data formats on a regular basis still, wiping your settings, backlog and so on. Also the database schema has not stabilized yet.
After all, there is a reason we don't do a public release yet :)

This is not only my first post on Quassel IRC but my very first blog post at all.

I have to say that I'm pretty excited about what's happening in the last few weeks. The improvements on Quassel have been enormous. There've been already more than 50 commmits this month. Having just checked in Revision 353 and waiting for Sput's next big commit (which hopefully doesn't break anything - I'm always scared if someone says: dude I'm just reorganizing the multithreading in the core...), I'm having some leisure time, which I want to use tell you a bit about the current state of Quassel IRC.

2007 has come and gone, and now it is 2008. Last year has seen a lot of improvements in and around Quassel IRC, and we are now very close to the first releaseable version. In fact, we, the developers and some early testers/helpers/fans are running Quassel Cores on our servers to stress-test (and of course enjoy) them! We now mainly lack some features in the GUI and some improvements in internal structures to be able to release Quassel to the public.
And this is my resolution for 2008: Get Quassel IRC out of the door ASAP, and then continue to make this the bestest IRC client ever!

This is Quassel Mobile, dubbed QuasselTopia, running on the Trolltech Greenphone. Quassel IRC will be available on most Qtopia-enabled devices, such as the Neo Freerunner, and eventually even on Windows Mobile!
