Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩 Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨 Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs. Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎
If you don’t consider yourself a developer but rather an enthusiastic user or admin we regularly have booths at various conferences (FOSDEM, CLT, FrOSCon, …) that are a great opportunity to meet us.
If however you are a developer and always wondered what standards mailing list discussions would look like IRL you can find more information on the Summit here: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27
@hacknorris XMPP because Discord is evil, IRC doesn't do what I need, and Matrix is slow and buggy. All XMPP needs is a good client, and because I'm on Linux, I can use @dino (wish it was cross-platform, but that feels like asking for too much)
Of course I also use Matrix because that's what everyone else uses, but that doesn't mean I can't be annoyed with it :blobcatupsidedown:

This release brings an important OMEMO encryption fix, native notifications on Windows, usability improvements, and many bugfixes. Thank you for all your contributions!
@feudjais this looks like an issue with the distribution you have installed. Since this is a dependency of Gajim (and not code Gajim controls), there is nothing we can do.
