"Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence."
#mcabber, #poezio, and #profanity get a tough time, I guess.
"Emacs is not just the editor I write jabber.el in. It is the runtime, the test harness, and the application.
I develop in the same instance where I chat. Fix a bug, eval changes, and the fix is live in my running session. Seconds, not minutes."
Life has meaning, again!
Bringing jabber.el Back From the Dead
jabber.el is an XMPP client for Emacs, originally written in 2003. Development slowed over the years, though contributors kept the package working across Emacs releases. I took over as maintainer with the goal of modernizing the protocol support. Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence. What Changed For those, like me, who count XEPs like Pokemon: OMEMO encryption (XEP-0384) via a C dynamic module wrapping picomemo OMEMO media sharing (XEP-0454) OpenPGP for XMPP (XEP-0373) using Emacs’ built-in EPG Stream Management (XEP-0198) with session resume Message Archive Management (XEP-0313) Message Carbons (XEP-0280) Delivery Receipts (XEP-0184) and Chat Markers (XEP-0333) Message Correction (XEP-0308), Replies (XEP-0461), Moderation (XEP-0424/0425) Chat State Notifications (XEP-0085) Client State Indication (XEP-0352) Blocking Command (XEP-0191) HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363) Direct TLS (XEP-0368) with dual SRV lookup Real Time Text (XEP-0301) PubSub (XEP-0060) Bookmarks (XEP-0402 with XEP-0048 fallback) SQLite message storage replacing flat-file history MUC Self-Ping (XEP-0410) Almost caught them all
