During the Berlin XMPP sprint, some XMPP developers worked on message formatting. Previously, formatting was done using simple markup (e.g. *bold*), which sometimes leads to unintended formatting and is limited in functionality. We now decided to transmit formatting information outside of the normal text, with optional fallback to markup for legacy clients. We worked on improving the specification and on support in three different clients, including @dino.

We're currently at #Berlin #XMPP sprint organized by @debacle, nice and productive ambiance.

Yesterday we have fixed a bug in #Libervia preventing #Debian packaging, today we're working on #OMEMO 2 interoperability with #Kaidan and later we'll work on A/V calls interoperability with #Dino . There are also people from #Haiku #Renga, from #Prose and from #Monal .

Over the last months, we've completely redesigned and rewritten @dino 's accounts and settings dialogs. The dialogs are combined into a single one now, which is adaptive and offers additional features like an option for OMEMO by default. The rewrite also resolves a number of issues and feature requests that were raised with the old implementation. It's still work in progress and will require further polishing.

Welcome our Google Summer of Code contributors!

- Patiga will work on more flexible file transfers in #Dino summerofcode.withgoogle.com/pr…
- PawBud will work towards adding support for A/V #communication via #Jingle in #ConverseJS summerofcode.withgoogle.com/pr…

#XMPP #GSoC #Google #Standards

You were right, the #Windows fork works nicely. I hope patches will be merged back to #dino upstream.

For basic users the GTK file dialog can be a bit distracting as it is different from what they are used to. The rest GTK design should be ok for them by my opinion.
