Quassel 0.15 pre
2025-10-23

1. INTRODUCTION
===============

Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms (including Linux©, Windows©, and MacOS X© as well as Android smartphones), making communication with your peers not only convenient, but also ubiquitous available.

- quassel.exe - monolithic client that includes the core & client in a single executable
- quasselcore.exe - server core that can be run as a command line application on a server and clients can connect to it
- quasselclient.exe - client to connect to a server core

Running the quasselcore on a server allows one to be permanently connected to IRC, the connect to that core from QuasselDroid (Android app) or quasselclient on any OS and get access to scrollback/history, etc.

 * While working on Qt 5 for OS/2, we are glad to know that our work is being partly sponsored by the grateful OS/2 community.
   Given the scale of this project and all other OS/2 projects that we work on, and also the fact that the OS/2 world has limited financial resources nowadays, every penny counts.
   We need to pay our full-time and part-time developers for their hard work. So any contribution is highly appreciated!
   To do so, please visit our online shop where you can buy development units of a preferred value.
