qgo2 project abandoned

Written by alejo on March 4th, 2010

A few months ago we already talked about qgo2: a multiserver client for Linux which included IGS, WING, LGS, CyberOro, eWeiQi, Tygem and Tom servers. If you don’t know about this nice piece of software, I’d recommend checking it out. It’s is worth it. In fact, even left as it is, it may still be my main go tool for my Ubuntu. Though there are some bugs, it allows linux users to join the main Asian servers and, if not play in all servers, watch their games.

During these months, Peter -the developer- has been improving qgo2, adding new features and enabling servers. Unfortunately, there seems to be some code issues when it comes to the Qt suite and support isn’t as responsive as expected. Taking into account the amount of free time invested into this project and the results, the developer has finally decided to give up the project.

For further information, I’d recommend checking the qgo-announce2 archives, help about the new Qt 4.6 version and the management of list sorts will be welcomed.

That is very bad news! Is there any chance that someone else might take this up?

Sincerely, I don’t know. There was a remarkable time lapse between the launch of qgo and the initial development of qgo2, so I wouldn’t be too faithful on the future of this project.
