Konversation is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client built on the KDE Platform[2] and is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.[3] Konversation is currently maintained in the KDE Extragear module,[4] which means that it has its own release cycle which is independent from KDE.[5] It's the default IRC client in many prominent Linux distributions, such as openSUSE[6] and the KDE version of Fedora.

Konversation supports IPv6 connections, offers SSL server support,[7] and supports Blowfish encryption. It also supports identity management with multiple server connections using separate identities for different servers[7][8] and can display multiple servers and channels in one window.[7] Konversation features automatic UTF-8 detection[7] and can support different encodings in different channels.[7] It also features an on-screen display (OSD) for message notifications[9] and can save bookmarks for channels and servers. Konversation supports colors, text decorations, and themable nicklist icons.[7] Konversation is also scriptable using shell scripts[10] and includes support for aliases and an action system for automatic events. It also identifies different users in the conversation window by choosing a random color for each user.
