# qTox
This is the official fork of qTox, developed by the toxcore developer team. See
the README on https://github.com/qTox/qTox for reasoning.
As [sudden6](https://github.com/sudden6) did, I also want to take the time and thank all
original qTox [contributors](https://github.com/qTox/qTox/graphs/contributors) and
especially the long term contributors and founders:
- [anthonybilinski](https://github.com/anthonybilinski)
- [Diadlo](https://github.com/Diadlo)
- [sudden6](https://github.com/sudden6)
- [nurupo](https://github.com/nurupo)
- [tux3](https://github.com/tux3)
- [zetok](https://github.com/zetok)
It was fun working with all of you and I learned a lot!

Builds other than installer/packages don't receive updates automatically, so
make sure you get back to this site and regularly download the latest version of
qTox.
### Help us
If you're wondering how could you help, fear not, there are plenty of ways
:smile:
Some of them are:
- Spread the good word about qTox to make it more popular :smile:
- Have an opinion? Make sure to [voice it in the issues that need it] :wink:
- Fixing [easy issues] or [issues that need help]. Make sure to read
[Contributing] first though :wink:
- [Testing] and [reporting bugs]
- [Translating, it's easy]
- [Reviewing and testing pull requests] – you don't need to be able to code to
do that :wink:
- Take a task from our Roadmap below
### 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
Note: The screenshots may not always be up to date, but they should give a good
idea of the general look and features.


This screenshot is taken on every merged pull-request, so will be up-to-date, but less interesting:

### Features
- One to one chat with friends
- Conferences
- File transfers, with previewing of images
- Audio calls, including conference 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].
If you are interested in participating, **join the channel** and **subscribe to
the mailing list**.
There are [IRC logs] available.
