DuckClient Source Code Repository

This is a Mercurial repository. To get a copy, try:

hg clone http://duckclient.com/repo DuckClient

You'll probably want to follow that with

hg update v5.x

BRANCHES:

v5.x is the current active branch; it's a bugfix and minor feature branch for v5.0 and up.

default has the start of a new database-based settings infrastructure, which was in an incomplete state when I decided to EOL the project.

The quality of this code varies widely. The earliest portions were some of the first serious Javascript I wrote, and it shows. main.js in particular is quite sloppy in places. I never fully refactored it because I'm reluctant to refactor working code.

Some files that may be of particular interest:

telnet.js (implements parts of RFC 854 and friends)
ansi.js and textline.js (ANSI color interpretation and text line rendering)
deeducate.js (dumbs down "smart quotes" for non-Unicode systems)

BUILDING:

If all you want is to make an unpackaged Chrome Web App you can load in Developer Mode, run build/fetch-cacerts.sh. This will fetch the necessary CA root certificates and process them. You will need perl and curl as prerequisites.

To build the stand-alone versions, you will need node and npm. Run npm install in the repository root, to install the necessary dependencies. Then run build/build-all.sh. This will build whatever standalone binaries are supported on your platform, plus a ZIP package of the Chrome Web App.
