Manual Feedback / Support Download Huggle Extensions

Huggle is a diff browser intended for dealing with vandalism and other unconstructive edits on Wikimedia projects, written in C++ using the Qt framework. It was originally developed in .NET Framework by Gurch, who is no longer active on this project. Anyone can download Huggle, but rollback permissions are required to use the program without restrictions on the English Wikipedia.
