## About
|
|
|
|
Spectrum 2 is an XMPP transport/gateway and also simple server.
|
|
It allows XMPP users to communicate with their friends who are using one of the supported networks.
|
|
It supports a wide range of different networks such as ICQ, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk), AIM, MSN, Facebook, Twitter, or IRC.
|
|
Spectrum 2 is written in C++ and uses the [Swiften](http://swift.im/swiften) library and various different libraries for "legacy networks".
|
|
Spectrum 2 is open source and released under the GNU GPL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spectrum 2 is not intended for strictly desktop users, ie those who have no familiarity with running server side applications. It is intended to provide a service to desktop users, but be managed by server administrators. If you are interested in the project but have no familiarity with running a server (and no interest in learning), please speak with your local system administrators about making Spectrum 2 available.

## News
|
|
|
|
ICQ has changed its server and protocol. Some really old versions of libpurple
|
|
in some cases fail to login. If (and only if) the default configuration does not work for you,
|
|
you should add these settings to your config file:
|
|
|
|
[purple]
|
|
server=login.icq.com
|
|
use_clientlogin=0
|
|
encryption=0
|
|
|
|
This will disallow encryption from Spectrum to ICQ server, but there is currently no other way how to make it work.
