News from the #Berlin #XMPP #sprint: Various developers had good discussions, tasty food, and did some programming!

There was work on message edits in #Conversations_im, SFS (XEP-0447) in #Dino, fixes for the next release of #Kaidan, #OMEMO+#PubSub improvements in #Mellium, a bigger update of SCE (XEP-0420) and its #Slixmpp implementation, and some fixes of #Debian packages.

Many thanks to @wikimediaDE for hosting us, again! Wonderful location, kind people! 🙏

@smn true .. but it's also true that it has become pretty common to find #conversations_im for free several times a year .. and sometimes even a month. @daniel has been very generous several times this year, setting Conversations for free download from the Google Play Store, specially at #diday
What #Conversations_im did was prove that the technology works. When #Matrix reinvented the wheel as an eventually consistent graph database with a JSON API, they didn't do it because #XMPP didn't work. They did it because their investors were seeking control over the entire stack.

Conversations (xmpp/jabber)

It took Google 9 days to review this release. These insane review times seem to be the new normal.

Anyway it’s finally live on Google Play. Enjoy the new search bar and the improved attachment flow.

#Conversations_im is currently in the Top 50 most download apps on @fdroidorg.
In the messaging category it ranks fairly close to #Element X and has almost 3x the downloads of #DeltaChat. Just to give you a perspective on loudness on social media vs reality.

In this section you’ll find information about XMPP Software, including clients, servers, libraries, and more. An XMPP client is any software or application that enables you to connect to an XMPP for instant messaging with other people over the …

Looking at #Conversations_im / #Quicksy in the Play Store and #Fdroid :
It seems to me as if it takes much longer now until updates are approved by Google. Meanwhile, updates at F-Droid seem to get faster.

Thanks Google and @fdroidorg for making it even more attractive for the average user to switch the store.

Update, May, 24th: Conversations_im just arrived in Play Store, Quicksy still pending.

Conversations (XMPP): Feature-Preview für Version 2.20.0

PeerTube

#fdroid just built the new versions of #Conversations_im and #Quicksy successfully.

This means that there are good chances that the new versions will appear in the F-Droid store in the next 24 hours.

The Play Store release is not so easy to predict. It means: Waiting for Google.
