Hi players,

in the early morning of Feb 9th 2026 (CET) there will be a new release. Please be prepared to download new client and enter the 2.0 server.

Here is the changelog:

2026-02-09 version 2.0
- port from qmake to cmake
- port from Qt5 to Qt6.9.2 LTS
- port to libboost >=1.83
- removed mysqplpp dependency
- removed curl dependency
- removed tinyxml dependency
- removed sqlite3 dependency
- removed gsasl dependency
- removed libSDL dependency
- implemented TLS for websocket-Server
- implemented TLS for game-server & client
- new feature: dark-/light-/auto (system) appearance mode with settings option and translations
- replaced gsasl auth mechanism with plain text auth (encrypted in combination with TLS!)
- macOS: several bugfixes, functional build for macOS Monterey as minimum OS version
- android: Qt Widget GUI adapted to qt6 - no more fixed Width/Height values in ui files
- removed QtSingleApplication dependency
- reproducable docker build environments for linux, windows and android build
- reproducable build_macos.sh Script for easy build & deploy on macOS
- new feature: 33%, 50%, 100% pot bet sizes with settings option and translations
- server heartbeat to handle former silent client disconnects

The old GUI has not changed, but we do have a functional android client for arm64 and x64 now and a 100% bugfree macOS client.
This release is more an interim release. A new GUI release will follow maybe in summer of 2026.

Just to clarify a few things.

You will need to update the client manually to 2.0 in order to play on the new server. The old server will still be up for a little while. When you connect to the Internet game, there will be both servers to chose from.

But the old server will only work with the old client and the new server will only work with the new client. You cannot mix server and client versions.
