I am now testing Monal 2.8 for iOS. This includes all they improvements in the most recent OS X release. Most notable, is the inclusion of Google authentication and 2 factor.
Month: January 2016
Monal OSX 1.1 RC 1
Monal OS X 1.1 RC 1 (Beta 4) is out. This is the first release candidate . This should cleanly upgrade from prior betas other than 1 and 2 as well as prior production versions.
There are many improvements in this. Most of the changes focus on improving the UI and UX. Things you will notice:
- A new Google authentication mechanism that supports two factor authentication.
- When a message fails to send, indicate that and allow retry
- Active chats are sorted by message time. New messages will move contact to the top like iMessage.
- Conversations are not accidentally marked as read while the window is minimized
- CMD+F searches contacts again
- CMD 1 /2 let you swap between Contacts and Active Chat tabs
- CMD+0 brings up application window
- Added menu options for Add Contact and View Contact Details
- Removed unused menu items
- Fixed UI glitches on the initial UI
HTTPS only
Monal.im is now HTTPS only. This was done using the free trusted SSL certificates provided by Let’s Encrypt . I highly recommend you encrypt your site as well. It only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
Monal OSX 1.1 Beta 3
Monal OS X 1.2 Beta 3 is out. This is the first version that supports Google Auth. This is includes 2 factor authentication. I am testing the code before it makes its way to iOS. Let me know if you have any problems. Google talk accounts will upgrade from app store versions. If upgrading from a beta, delete and re-create the account.
Monal OSX 1.1 Beta 2
Monal OS X 1.2 Beta 1 is out. This is the first version that supports Google Auth. This is includes 2 factor authentication. I am testing the code before it makes its way to iOS. Let me know if you have any problems. Like the last release, at the moment upgrading an existing gmail account does not work. I recommend removing and re-adding it.
