As of GNOME 50, if you use Calendar and want to share an event with others… export it as ICS file! Also works with exporting entire calendar.

Additionally, if you have a meeting link set as a location and it's time to join it — click „Join” button to join. Enjoy!

I have released version 1.15 of slixmpp, the python XMPP library.

Besides the continuation of @nicoco ’s quest to add every XEP under the sun, the most notable change is that building the rust module is now optional (i.e. in the absence of sufficient tools, slixmpp will happily be installed using the pure-python fallback for the JID module, which is kind of important for Mac OS or Winslop platforms).
