For installation or compiling instructions, see the INSTALL file.
This program is licensed under the GNU General Public License. See the
COPYING file for more information.
Notes
-----
- QCA --
* QCA 2.x is required to build Psi.
* The qca-ossl and qca-gnupg plugins are desirable for full functionality
of Psi.
- Voice Calling --
* The PsiMedia 1.0.x plugin and the qca-ossl plugin are needed to activate
the voice calling feature. Source of PsiMedia can be found at:
http://delta.affinix.com/psimedia/
On Windows, place gstprovider.dll into the base directory.
On Mac, place libgstprovider.dylib into Psi.app/Contents/plugins
On Linux, place libgstprovider.so into LIBDIR/psi/plugins
- Upgrading to 0.15 --
* During the upgrade process, any existing files will be copied to new
locations. You can opt to have the files in the original locations
removed or left intact.
- GnuPG tips --
* Always use the latest version of GnuPG.
* On Windows, use a native build instead of one based on cygwin, and make
sure it is properly installed in the registry.
* Ensure 'gpg' actually works, by testing it from the command-line.
* You must have a public and secret keyring. Psi cannot operate
without them, and they must be there when you start it.

Description
-----------
Psi is a capable XMPP client aimed at experienced users. Its design goals
are simplicity and stability. Psi is highly portable and runs on Windows,
Unix/X11, and Mac OS X.
The interface is very ICQ-like. Alerts appear in the contact list when
events are received, and things like subscriptions requests appear as
"system messages" (ICQ users know these well). Even "Chats" are queued in
the contact list. Also, chats are "remembered" by default, so that you don't
have to keep a bunch of windows open for each person. Just close the
chat window. If you open it again it will all be there.
Psi is minimal but powerful. There are keybindings for just about
everything, Unicode is supported throughout, and contacts are cached
offline. Security is also a major consideration, and Psi provides it for
both client-to-server (SSL) and client-to-client (GnuPG).

Wishes
------
We can't possibly know what everyone wants, so we appreciate all feature
requests. These can be submitted to the issue tracker as well (see above).
Porting
-------
Psi should be very portable. Please e-mail us first if you want to port Psi
to another platform.

There are many ways to contribute to the Psi project, if you think you can
do a better job with any of the Psi graphics, then go right ahead!
Sound
-----
Same goes for sound. Start mixing!
