It has the unique +ability to split the graphical component (quasselclient) from the part +that handles the IRC connection (quasselcore). This means that you can +have a remote core permanently connected to one or more IRC networks and +attach a client from wherever you are without moving around any +information or settings. However, Quassel can easily behave like any +other client by combining them into one binary which is referred to as +"Quassel Mono". + +In simpler terms, the "monolithic" client is a response to requests for +a client that behaves like every other IRC client. The monolithic client +(GUI) is what makes the connections to the IRC networks. In normal +operation, the client (GUI) connects to a core, it is completely +incapable of connecting to anything else. The core receives connections +from clients, and makes connections to the IRC networks, it also handles +logging (currently everything gets put in the database). |
