docs: Add back webchat link after Libera migration Libera Chat has a web IRC client set up by now - add that back to the README.md documentation. (I overlooked this when reviewing 322bec12418ab267d7b770ec90465a1a1034b17d , my bad!)
This commit changes the official Quassel IRC channel, (#quassel) from the Freenode IRC network to the Libera IRC network in response to recent issues which resulted in the entire volunteer staff of Freenode stepping down. For more information about this situation, please read this: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8d36cd9d1bde46ba018af497409
docs: Add nightly.link CI download URLs to README Add nightly.link CI download URLs for Windows and macOS to the README file. This provides a convenient way for anonymous access to the latest builds, getting around the requirement of being signed in. NOTE: To avoid future rate-limiting by GitHub, nightly.link should be given an access token (installed as a GitHub app) so artifact URL fetches won't share the default API token rate limits. See https://nightly.link/ and use the option to install and select one's repositories. Or go directly to... https://github.com/apps/nightly-link If you wish to provide direct download links to your fork of Quassel, you may want to do the same.
docs: README.md note login to download auto-builds Add note to README.md explaining that one must log into GitHub to download artifacts, i.e. the automated Windows and macOS builds. This does not impact full releases. This commit can be reverted once the GitHub issue is addressed. See https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/issues/51
docs: Update README.md badge, download for Actions Update the badges in README.md to point to the new GitHub Actions CI integration, removing the old Travis and AppVeyor badges. Update the "Downloading" text to point to the new Windows and macOS build artifacts provided by GH Actions. Now we can limit shown builds to the 'master' branch, hooray! See: https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/configuring-a-workflow#adding-a-workflow-status-badge-to-your-repository And: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57719605/official-badge-for-github-actions
docs: Inline important URLs in README.md Move all single-use, important URLs in README.md from the bottom index to where the link is used. This makes the document easier to navigate when reading it as a plain text file. There's no differences to the rendered Markdown view.
docs: Revert '–' to '--' in root README.md Revert to '--' in root README.md instead of Unicode '–'. The former is easier to distinguish in monospace text environments.
docs: Simplify README.md, add help, downloads Add more guidance to README.md, namely the use of `--help`. Add a section on downloads, pointing to the official download page, automated builds, and community-contributed builds. Move the status badges to a new line, simplifying the header appearance. Clean up the URLs with Markdown references, add the "Windows: " text to AppVeyor builds to distinguish it from Linux. Travis CI unfortunately does not allow for a similar customization. Replace "--" with "–", a Unicode replacement that should match the intent. Replace ```triple-backticks``` with `single-backticks`; both function correctly and the latter is less annoying to read as plain text. Fix bullet list indentation. See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/status-images/ And https://www.appveyor.com/docs/status-badges/
Change HTTP links to HTTPS for quassel-irc.org and subdomains Closes GH-335.
Fancify README with Markdown, build status, links Transition README into Markdown formatting, still persisting the ability to read it as plain-text, asides from the status badges. Add AppVeyor and Travis CI status badges to the top of the page. Not only does this make it easier to access build history, it's a pretty quick way to tell if the build is working or not. Add a few more handy links to (hopefully) help those stumbling across Quassel's dev repo without prior knowledge. Closes GH-209.
