#Conversations
A beta version of 2.15 arrived at F-Droid. It looks great and now uses Material 3 theme. Be aware: To install this version you need to explicitly select it in F-Droid.
#monocleschat
A new minor version has been released which brings GIF import, compatible stickers and other improvements.
#Snikket
A new version has been released bringing fixes and improvements from Conversations to Snikket users.
And additionally: Thank you to all the people being active in the #XMPP community and offering more digital sovereignty for everyone (including the developers of all the other great XMPP apps, libraries, ...).
This means:
Users who do not want to use a beta version should be able to use the stable version in a few days (F-Droid needs to finish the build, signing and deployment process for all apps of the current build cycle before the apps are published).
Hi everyone,
in the latest monocles chat release which should come next week to F-Droid and the Playstore we improved the implementation of webxdc. There are many different webxdc apps you can use inside monocles chat.
You can now even play chess or other games with your friends 🎉
People who already used a previous version of monocles chat from the Play Store should be aware that this version needs to be manually installed because it had to be uploaded with a new ID. In this case you need to remove the old version and install the new one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.monocles.chat
Do not forget that it is also available on #froid and #codeberg.
The app #monocleschat has been published in the Play Store. This means: More choice for Play Store users when selecting #XMPP apps.
The app is not offered for free but if you are not willing to pay for it and want to use the Play Store, it might be a good idea to have a look in the Play Store in the next days.
Wow, die App #monocleschat wurde rechtzeitig vor Weihnachten im Play Store veröffentlicht. Das heißt: Mehr Auswahl an #XMPP Apps für reine Play Store Nutzer:innen.
Die App ist kostenpflichtig. Wenn man davon abgeschreckt ist, sollte man die Seite des Play Stores zeitnah über Weihnachten besuchen.
Ich vermute, dass die #MonoclesChat-App für die Anfragen verantwortlich ist und weniger der kontaktierte Dienst. Aber Verbindungziele, die im Protkoll nur mit einem Punkt oder als simples "net" oder "eu" auftauchen, sind für mich dubios. Bis ich eventuell mehr herausgefunden habe fliegt die App vom Smartphone. #XMPP
Just learnt that #MonoclesChat (apparently) supports running #WebXDC apps over #XMPP, but I'm not able to figure out how it works. Anyone used it? :xmpp:
The input line has been redesigned. Emojis are easier to handle now. It should look more familiar to users of other messengers.
You can set a background for the chatview.
Reactions can be send more easily (message selection).
The usage of the HW AEC has been disabled for the #Fairphone4 leading to a better videocall experience for #FP4 owners.
Thank you @monocles for this release.
