Circle is an IRC client which merges the best attributes of a local client and the common screen+irssi recipe:

* Keep IRC connects and state on a backend server, allowing
disconnections from local UI.
* Interact with a real local GUI for the frontend, instead of
incurring SSH roundtrips for every keypress.
Circle uses Tangence for its underlying communications layer.

This package provides a GTK 2 user interface for Circle. It needs circle-backend to be installed on the same or a different machine in order to be useful.
