As promised earlier, releasing new Gajim versions is much easier now! 🎉 Gajim 1.4.2 comes with better performance and an important bugfix. But there is more! After popular demand, we brought back the calendar for browsing history.
Gajim 1.4.1 has been released 🚀 Only a week after the release of Gajim 1.4.0, we’re happy to announce Gajim 1.4.1! 🎉 This release brings several fixes for issues you reported to us. Thanks for your feedback!
After more than a year of development, it’s finally time to announce the release of Gajim 1.4.0! 🎉
Gajim 1.4 series comes with a completely redesigned message window and conversation management. Workspaces allow you to organize your chats to keep matters separate where needed. These changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you.
Con motivo de la nueva caida de Whatsapp, les recordamos que existen alternativas descentralizadas y federadas también para la mensajería instantánea (similar a lo que ocurre con mastodon y el fediverso). En Undernet administramos dos servidores Jabber/XMPP en @buzon.uy y @undernet.uy y los registros de nuevas cuentas se solicitan únicamente por correo-e. -> https://buzon.uy/jabber.html -> https://undernet.uy/jabber/ Los clientes para utilizar este sistema son muchos, acá hay una lista para diferentes dispositivos. Entre ellos destacamos el Conversations para Android, que puede ser instalado gratuitamente desde la tienda de aplicaciones libres F-Droid. -> https://xmpp.org/software/clients/ -> https://f-droid.org/es/ Finalmente, les dejo una lista curada de salas (grupos) de diferentes temas y comunidades para entrar (con el cliente instalado, se entra haciendo click en los links de las salas directamente) -> https://publicar.uy/salas-de-mensajeria-xmpp-en-espanol/ #mensajería#jabber#xmpp#whatsapp#internet#software#libre
Share Live Location feature is comming to #matrix to selected (private or not) rooms
trust in your server admins becomes more important if you use this feature
It's a feature I requested for #xmpp also, to use it as a beacon to share with family/friends when riding my bike
This is not like "share location" as a message that includes your coordinates and correspondent can open in their device/app, it's a link to open your current location for the given time you set.
I currently use my garmin device that has such feature, but it'd be nice if I could use my own #xmpp server (I will NOT configure a matrix server for this purpose tho)
* Fixed issue with decoding OMEMO encrypted message in MUC channels * Fixed issue with MUC participants disappearing randomly * Fixed issue with VoIP call sending an incorrect payload during call negotiation
The conversations.im #XMPP server is now free to use. I verified the legitimacy of this message with the lead developer of the app. Pretty awesome that they decided to stop making money from something because they were able to meet their needs elsewhere, :-) #privacy
@codewiz@kzimmermann@thenewoil Not sure why #Matrix should scale better than #XMPP . Matrix synchronizes room state across all participating servers, which is much more expensive.
Shady homebrew crypto that once got broken, crowning themselves as "savior of #privacy" when nobody can verify the whole stack, and now this: #ads in chats.
I don't want yet another IM app, but I *do* want IM apps to interoperate enough that I don't need to care which one my friends chose to use today.
Since the decline of XMPP, there hasn't been another protocol with enough traction to get adopted by the top-tier IM apps.
Matrix tried (and is still trying) to position itself as that open standard, but I don't see other players falling over each other to add Matrix support.
We would like to say thanks to everyone, in the #XMPP community and beyond, for your continuous engagement and development! Say thanks to the software projects you use and maybe also give something back. Looking forward to the next year, and the exciting things we will achieve!
