Natürlich wird es wieder Leute geben, die meinen, dass das alles nicht stimmt und so weiter, aber ich hatte auch schon immer meine Probleme mit dieser "verteilten Datenbank" und sehe mich nun darin bestätigt.

Es wird wohl darauf hinauslaufen, dass ich irgendwann meinen Matrix-Server löschen werde. Auf jeden Fall werde ich ihn nicht weiter ausbauen.

Nachdem Google den blabber.im Messenger als Spyware eingestuft und aus dem Playstore gelöscht hat, wird die Playstore Version künftig neben der Git Version nur noch über Codeberg zum Download angeboten. Der interne Updater wird ab Version 3.1.2 die jeweils richtig Version anzeigen und herunterladen. Bei F-Droid bleibt bisher alles wie gehabt.

Gajim 1.4.0 has been released 🚀

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.
