It's been a little while since qrm's last major release back in Spooktober, but don't worry, we're still here!

We have some big news this release: the official instance of qrm is now available for anyone to add to their server! Just run the ?invite or ?info commands to get a link, or click here.

Some of the qrm code has been moved to its own libraries. That means you can run a little piece of qrm in your own programs! Check out ctyparser (for CTY.DAT and DXCC information), gridtools (for converting grid squares and lat/long coordinates), and qrztools (for using the QRZ.com API).

If you want to help out with qrm's infrastructure costs or just give a little thanks, you can now sends us tips! Just run the ?donate or ?info commands to see links to donate via Ko-Fi or Liberapay.
