Licq is a multi-threaded ICQ (originally; now it supports AOL and MSN as well) clone written mostly in C++. It uses an extensive plugin system to manage many different functions. The main GUI is written using the Qt widget set. Licq is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Development is very ongoing, with new features and bugs fixed frequently, so updates are available often. The current version should be very stable, but as with all software use it at your own risk.
We have been forced to turn off anonymous editing due to spam. If you don't want to register for an account, you can log in as the user "human" with the password "IAmAHuman" (without the quotes).
Translators Needed
Qt4-Gui has come a long way since it was branched of from the old Qt-Gui and is now stable enough to be included in the next release of Licq.
However, all the changes, improvements and fixes also means that the translations have been affected and most of them are currently very out of date. Some of them needs to be updated for Qt-Gui as well.
Unless we get them up to date again, some of the translations will probably be dropped. But we would of course much rather see them updated and maintained.
So if you would like to see Licq in your native language, your contribution would be very welcome.
For more information see this thread or join us in the Licq IRC channel.
Qt4-GUI moved to trunk
Qt4-GUI plugin is planed to be included in the next release and has thus been moved in svn. The new location is trunk/qt4-gui (was branches/qt-gui_qt4). See this mail for information on how to update your working copy.
