README.md

This repository and qTox are unmaintained!

Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained.

If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that. Meanwhile be careful about "official forks" of qTox unless you read it here, they are probably not official.

I want to take the time and thank all contributors and especially the long term contributors and founders:

It was fun working with all of you and I learned a lot!

So long, and thanks for all the fish! - sudden6

Roadmap

Currently qTox is under a feature freeze to clean up our codebase and tools. During this time we want to prepare qTox for upcoming new features of toxcore.

The next steps are:

  • move all toxcore abstractions into their own subproject
  • write basic tests for this Core
  • format the code base
  • rethink our Issue tracker

The current state is tracked in the Code cleanup project.

Screenshots
