Dev update #10

🔧 Core

As per our bi-weekly development updates, here's what our developers have been focusing on:

• Adding the option to disable the proxy list: a DHT proxy is used by mobile devices to access the DHT network. For example, it can be used to send push notifications to sleeping mobiles.
• Fixing a deadlock issue in the daemon: which should reduce application freezes.
• Resolving issues related to invitation management. Sending multiple invitations to the same user could previously create duplicate, empty conversations, leading to application malfunctions.

💻 Desktop

• Added the ability to delete multimedia messages, including any file type.
• Resolved bugs related to file transfers.

🤖 Android

Notably :

• Bug fix related to the keyboard hiding previous messages in the chat view when composing a new message on Android 10 and earlier versions.
• Stabilizing swarm group conversations.
• New design for swarm group avatars.

📺 Android TV

• Standardized contact display/rendering across all screen resolutions.
• Resolved the bug related to the "Add to Contacts" button remaining visible after adding a new contact.

🍏 iOS

• Adding proxy settings: users will be able to set a personalized proxy address, if they wish, in the settings. Unlike before, when the proxy address was set programmatically and the user had no way of modifying it.
• We're working also to improve profile loading and creating unit tests (these are little pieces of code that check that a small part of your software is working properly) and UI tests.

Jami speaks a few languages, but many are missing or incomplete! If you're multilingual, give us a hand by contributing translations to democratize Jami and help us connect to a wider audience 🌍.

We've written a tutorial on how to use Transifex to translate both the application and the website.
