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 Note: The screenshots may not always be up to date, but they should give a good idea of the general look and features.   ### Features - One to one chat with friends - Group chats - File transfers, with previewing of images - Audio calls, including group calls - Video calls - ToxMe and Tox URI support - Translations in over 30 languages - Avatars - Faux offline messages - History - Screenshots - Emoticons - Auto-updates on Windows and packages on Linux - And many more options! ### Organizational stuff Happens in both IRC channel [#qtox@libera.chat] and on [qTox-dev mailing list].
