Dev update #9

🔧 Core

Since our last the Dev Update 8, we focused on:

Optimizing performance by migrating the core parsing library from http-parser (which is no longer actively developed) to llhttp.  HTTP is primarily a text-based protocol (human-readable format).

In Jami,  HTTP helps the application communicate with the proxy server through requests. Therefore, a computer program must parse this requests according to HTTPrules to understand its meaning.

This is what the http-parser does, but llhttp does it even better!

💻 Desktop

We fixed the error popup when linking a new device to a Jami account with an incorrect password. Previously, when a wrong password was entered, the page was blocked ad infinitum when the account was exporting.

🤖 Android

We focused on improving UI bug fixes, notably :

• The notification system for swarm group calls, as notifications were not disappearing from the notification center after during or after a missed call, and notifications were not always redirecting to the right conversation.
• The stability of the add contact feature, which sometimes did not display the Contact added  in the chat, or displayed it twice in a row.
• New design in chatview for call-in-progress and conversation animation.

🍏 iOS

• The new design for account setting is now released.

• We're working to improve performance and stability.

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.
