The first release candidate for Licq 1.3.5 has just been released. Get it while it's hot.

It's been very quiet here for a while so here's an update on what's happened since 1.3.4:

Qt4-GUI

With Qt4 released the work is ongoing to port the Qt-GUI plugin to take advantage of the new Qt version.
The porting is almost done, the worst bugs seem to be gone and it's very usable so feel free to try it out and tell us what you think.
More information, current status and how to get it up and running can be found on the Qt-GUI Plugin page.

Licq 2.0

ICQ is far from the only IM protocol out there and even though MSN support was added in Licq 1.3 it was added on top of a one-protocol implementation.
Licq 2.0 is a rewrite of large parts of the code to improve handling of multiple protocols and provide a more flexible plugin interface.
The work on Licq 2.0 is still far from finished and when it's done the plugins will need to be adapted to the new plugin interface as well so don't expect this just yet.

Licq 1.3

Even though it's more fun to work on the new stuff, we've still managed to fix some bugs and make a few improvements on Licq 1.3.
Licq 1.3.5 is planned to be released later this year and will mostly be just a maintenance release. For more information see the 1.3.5 Release Notes.

The Team

During the year, we've been joined by two new developers. We welcome Anders and Eugene on board.
