I was looking at the XNU source code today (don’t ask) and stumbled upon this line in a particular file (https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/0a798f6738bc1db01281fc08ae024145e84df927/libsyscall/Libsyscall.xcconfig) SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS = macosx iphoneos iphoneosnano tvos appletvos watchos bridgeos I can tell you what all of those are including the new Bridge OS that powers the Arm chips on Continue Reading

Another Mac beta is up.  I have fixed all the crashes that came in on the last beta.

There is a new beta of the Mac client with all of the recent  fixes and addition of group messaging.  I know there are still a few issues, for example it doesn’t save the password for auto joining a bookmarked group. Im curious to see what other issues people encounter. Continue Reading

I’m getting closer to the UI that I would like for group chats. It might not be the greatest thing for power users but I suspect it will work well for most people. Especially those familiar with iMessage or other chat clients already.   Things to note in the picture Continue Reading

The Mac client has always had group chat but didn’t have a UI surfacing the functionality. I am adding that now.  I know favorites and auto join have long been asked for. I hope to have that in the iOS client as well.

Muc aka Group Chat has been something that’s been in Monal since the beginning.   I’ve decided to throw out all the old  UI for this and remake it.   The old version was something I wrote before I had very many users and based on my experience using pidgin/adium/gaim. Continue Reading

Fixing the issues with Jingle Voip was a high priority this week.  The iOS client audio  should not have issues anymore.  I was testing this with pidgin (and wire shark) in a linux VM until I discovered Jitsi, which is a nice client in it’s own right.  I will likely Continue Reading

I’ve revisited of the jingle code that appears to have broken in the last couple of years. While I was at it I added jingle support to the Mac for audio calls.  I still need to write the audio code for OSX but the signaling component is all exactly the Continue Reading
