VyQChat 0.2.8 is chat software developed by Pawel Stolowski.
VyQChat is a real-time, text-based, serverless chat program dedicated to LANs, that runs on Linux using Qt/X11 library.

It is almost 100% compatible with Vypress Chat(TM) for Windows. It allows you to chat with friends on public or private channels, send and recieve messages etc.

The GUI is meant to be user-friendly and lets you to do most things with mouse. There is also optional sound support. VyQChat has been written in C++ and requires Qt library, version 3.x.

Here are some key features of "VyQChat":

  • UDP based protocol -- no server required
  • Support for multicast (planned)
  • Almost full support for VypressChat 1.9.x protocol
  • Easy to use GUI
  • Support for systray
  • Easy to configure -- tries to guess your local network IP address
  • Sound support through arts, libao, PC Speaker and external command
  • Support for executing arbitrary scripts for certain chat events
  • Commands and chat history, accessible with up/down keys and history window

    Limitations:
  • File transfers
  • Remote file execution
  • RSA keys and digital signatures introduced in VypressChat 1.9.5
  • Bulletin Board, introduced in VypressChat 1.9.5
  • Multicast (almost ready but not working for unknown reasons, so it is disabled for now

    What's New in This Release:
  • a presence notify packet is sent to the requester only, not to all; this should stop flood alerts.
  • a bug with zombie processes in libao and arts support was fixed
  • a memory leak on the 'play' command and external scripts execution was fixed
  • the autoconf script was updated with the latest version of the bnv_have_qt macro
    VyQChat 0.2.8 supports english interface languages and works with Linux.

    Downloading VyQChat 0.2.8 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
