Another important update: Quassel 0.9.2 has been released!
by Manuel Nickschas 26 Nov '13

Hi all, the last update in the 0.9.x series has been released only a few weeks ago, and now it's already time for another one. Go grab the tarball directly at [1], or check our downloads page [2]. We also have a static core again! Besides various bugfixes (among those, Phonon notifications play sound again!), and a bunch of new and improved translations, the main reason for this one is, unfortunately, another vulnerability: with a carefully manipulated client, you can retrieve the backlog of other users on the quasselcore you're using. Proper authentication is still needed, so this will only affect people who allow untrusted and malicious users on their shared core. Still, an upgrade is highly recommended. If you happen to be a distro packager, please be advised to backport (i.e. simply apply) [3] and, if you haven't done so yet since the release of 0.9.1, [4] to your packages, if you can't bump them to 0.9.2 for release process reasons. Well, here's hoping that next time we won't have that sense of urgency again :) Have a nice day, and happy updating, ~ Sput [1] <http://quassel-irc.org/pub/quassel-0.9.2.tar.bz2> [2] <http://quassel-irc.org/downloads> [3] <https://github.com/quassel/quassel/commit/1fc8eb5> [4] <https://github.com/quassel/quassel/commit/aa1008b> -- Manuel "Sputnick" Nickschas ("Sput" on Freenode) | (o< Member of the Quassel IRC Project - http://quassel-irc.org | //\ Come visit us in #quassel! | V_/_

Welcome to the new mailing lists for Quassel IRC!

Hi all, finally (after years of pushing and prodding for it), we have mailing lists for Quassel IRC. While most of user support and discussions happens in our IRC channels (mostly #quassel on Freenode), using mailing lists have distinct advantages - in particular, there is an archive, and people can chime in asynchronously. So now we offer the following lists at <http://lists.quassel-irc.org>: * quassel-announce This is a read-only list, where the development team will send important announcements to. We highly recommend distro packagers to subscribe to this one, as we'll announce releases and other important information here. * quassel-users This list should be used for general user discussion about and around Quassel IRC - questions, tips & tricks, that sort of things. * quassel-devel This list is for discussion about development of Quassel IRC itself. Everything that is related to development should go there, and we'll share our plans and ideas there as well. So, feel free to go ahead and subscribe! Please note that this is my first time setting up a list server, so if the lists show unexpected behavior or have configuration issues, feel free to poke me so I can fix it. ~ Sput, on behalf of the Quassel Project -- Manuel "Sputnick" Nickschas ("Sput" on Freenode) | (o< Member of the Quassel IRC Project - http://quassel-irc.org | //\ Come visit us in #quassel! | V_/_
