   @gajim I'm on 1.7.2 because upgrading to 1.7.3 fails with an error that I need an even newer version of python than I already have. Y'all keep doing this to me. For awhile it was some issue with nbxmpp. Then it was something else I forget. Now this. I feel like you should calm down with your release cycles here and stop forcing people to upgrade every dependency just to use the latest minor release version.

     @walruslifestyle nobody is forcing you to update! But Gajim's code is evolving, and it makes use of newer Python features. Latest Gajim requires Python 3.10 :python: (released Oct. 2021).

     If your distribution doesn't ship Python 3.10, you can install Gajim via Flatpak as well: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gajim.Gajim

     @walruslifestyle omemo-dr is not part of Gajim 1.7.3, but a change which hasn't been released yet (nightly). If this dependency is one of a Gajim 1.7.3 package, then it's a packaging issue. Please let us know which Linux distro are you using, so we can contact the package maintainer. 👍

     Regarding Flatpak: Gajim 1.8 will include the OMEMO plugin. For older versions, check out this guide on how to install plugins via Flatpak: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/tree/master/flatpak#install-plugins

     @gajim I want to install the latest (minor) version of gajim for the bug fixes and security patches (if any). With other pieces of software I use, a minor version increase, like from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3, would not require upgrading a core system component like python.

     The bump was not to python 3.10, it was to python 3.11:

     The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     python3-omemo-dr : Depends: python3 (>= 3.11~) but ...

     Yes, it's been out awhile too, but the linux distribution I use has not added it to their distro yet. So you're forcing upgrades on people who want bug fixes that go faster than their own linux distro goes.

     I've never had any luck with the flatpak version because none of the plugins are available for it (or at least, I've never found a good guide describing how to get plugins to work in the flatpak).

     @walruslifestyle you must be using Gajim nightly then, because Ubuntu 22.04 only offers Gajim 1.3.3. Nightlies might break for unforeseen reasons, since they are not stable. Ubuntu 22.04 does not offer all dependencies Gajim nightly needs.

     Syntax Highlighting and URL Image Preview plugins have been integrated into Gajim and thus are both available. Gajim's LaTeX plugin has been discontinued due to security concerns.

     @gajim thank you for the link. The only plugins available in flatpak are PGP and OMEMO. What about the latex plugin, syntax highlighting, url expander.... there are lots of nice plugins for gajim, but none of the cool ones are in flatpak.

     I'm using Ubuntu 22.04. If it's a packaging error, that's good to hear!

     @gajim ah yes that's right, I forgot I'm using nightlies. crap, I'm sorry for being unfair. I'll check out the flatpak again then. thanks for all the useful information (for all my kvetching, I like gajim a lot and want to see it succeed)
