Alpha version qutIM 0.2 is waiting for you

After months of hard development, problems with the server and other difficulties encountered, the developers of the cross-platform IM client qutIM are pleased to announce the release of version 0.2-alpha.

A little bit about what version 0.2

First of all, it is worth noting that this is a completely new kernel, that is, the code of the new kutim is written from scratch and has no relation to version 0.1.1.

Should I upgrade to version 0.2?
It is worth it, since the new version is more powerful, more flexible and has more features than the old one.
Briefly about the features of the new version.
