Quassel IRC (Client only)

Distributed IRC client with central core component

Website

Description

Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client based on the Qt4

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. An

optional Beginner's Mode completely hides this feature, so Quassel IRC can be

setup very easily.
