Bio:

  • Quassel is a distributed IRC client written in Qt 4, which provides functionality similar to screen+irssi or a BNC.
  • quassel-core provides a server which connects to IRC, maintains the connections, and manages network states.
  • quassel-core is a server daemon, there is little interface to quassel-core.
  • quassel-client provides a GUI interface to quassel-core. Interaction takes place with quassel-client.
  • Quassel also provides a monolithic version with quassel-core and client combined, functioning like a standard IRC client.
  • Quassel supports SSL connections and SASL authentication.
  • Quassel has excellent KDE integration when available on Linux.
  • Turning off KDE integration and subsequently having better QGtkStyle support will probably require a source compile on most distributions, as they ship a KDE integration enabled Quassel.

  • Any platform supported by Qt 4.
