On our new roadmap page you will find the state of each planned feature and get an overview in which release the features are planned to be implemented. Stay tuned and ...

PokerTH License Changes

To avoid trouble for distributors when shipping PokerTH packages version 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.6.1 we decided to add an exemption FOR THESE VERSIONS ONLY to our license GPLv2. "In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the code of portions of this program with the OpenSSL library. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than OpenSSL." - OpenSSL-License

In the next version 0.6.2 we will link against GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL and use a clean GPL again.

... have a lot of fun.

Gfx Designer and MacOS X Maintainer wanted

The PokerTH development team is looking for a new project gfx designer.
To improve PokerTH we need:

• a new 10-player-mockup for the game table
• corresponding application gfx files for this mockup
• new poker cards deck (preferably SVG)
• maybe a new joomla template for this website

Furthermore we are looking for somebody who wants to build the MacOS X package from the sources for all new PokerTH versions (and beta releases).

If you can help us with one of these points please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or post a thread in the forum.

Thanks in advance ...
