1 ChangeLog for Quassel IRC
2 =========================
3 This is not a full ChangeLog, but rather an end-user FeatureLog that is supposed
4 to provide a list of new features between Quassel versions. As such, it only
5 contains end-user visible, mostly major new features. It does not contain (most)
6 bugfixes, nor is it guaranteed to be complete or up-to-date at all. Also, it does
7 start at 0.3.0 only, since this was the first version widely available.
9 Please have a look at <http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/roadmap> for a
10 list of closed bug/feature reports (which still does not cover bugs we have
11 fixed but which were never reported, of course), and for a full list of
12 changes, the git history at <http://git.quassel-irc.org> is your friend.
