Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client
|
||
|
|
based on the Qt framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Distributed means that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to
|
||
|
|
and detach from a central core that stays permanently online --
|
||
|
|
much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC
|
||
|
|
client such as WeeChat, and similar to (but much more featureful
|
||
|
|
than) so-called BNCs. Re-attaching your client will show your IRC
|
||
|
|
session in the same state as you left it in (plus whatever happened
|
||
|
|
while you were gone), and this even when you re-attach from a
|
||
|
|
different location.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, Quassel IRC can be used like a traditional client,
|
||
|
|
with providing both client and core functionality in one binary.
|
||
|
|
This so-called "Monolithic Client" completely hides the distributed
|
||
|
|
nature, so for a purely local installation, Quassel IRC can be
|
||
|
|
setup very easily.
