A bug in the updater code rendered qTox versions 1.6 and 1.5 unable to perform an update on Windows.

Sadly, there is no way to fix or work around it.

If you’re a Windows user, you’ll need to manually install the newest qTox version.

v1.7.0 release

Due to the speeded up release cycle, 1.7 is a slightly smaller release. Some bugs were fixed and there were some small UI improvements. For details, refer to the changelog.

31 people contributed to this release. Kudos to them! :-)

Translations

Aside from numerous updates to the already available translations, initial Korean and Pirate translations have been added. Arr!

Switch to TokTok

For some time toxcore’s development was halted. The TokTok project helped with the situation by revitalizing development.

qTox 1.7 targets TokTok/c-toxcore’s version 0.1 instead of irungentoo/toxcore.

Copy link action

One of the small UI improvements is an option in the right-click menu, shown upon clicking on the link in the chat. Small step for qTox, big leap for the usability.

Kudos

People who made it happen :-)
