Awesome

This repository and qTox are unmaintained!

Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained.

If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that. Meanwhile be careful about "official forks" of qTox unless you read it here, they are probably not official.

I want to take the time and thank all contributors and especially the long term contributors and founders:

It was fun working with all of you and I learned a lot!

So long, and thanks for all the fish! - sudden6
