      Mathieu Pasquet: Poezio 0.15 / 0.15.1

      news.movim.eu / PlanetJabber • 28 March • 1 minute

    About three years since the last version, poezio 0.15 (and 0.15.1 to address a small packaging mishap, version numbers are cheap) was released yesterday!

    Poezio is a terminal-based XMPP client which aims to replicate the feeling of terminal-based IRC clients such as irssi or weechat; to this end, poezio originally only supported multi-user chats.

    Features

    Not a lot this time around… Maybe next time?

    • A new moderate plugin (for XEP-0425 moderation).
    • Better self-ping (through the use of the slixmpp now builtin XEP-0410 plugin).
    • Use the system CA store by default.
    • Add a Ctrl-↑ shortcut to run /correct on the last message.
    • Poezio benefits from the recent slixmpp improvements, which means it can now transparently use Direct TLS as well as StartTLS.

    Fixes

    • Duplicated first message in conversation/private tab.
    • The many "clone" users in a room roster when on a spotty connection.
    • Python 3.13 and 3.14 compatibility (plenty of deprecations and removals).
    • Plenty of type checking mistakes and minor bugs spotted by mypy and pylint.

    Removals

    • Only python 3.11 and up is supported (was: 3.7).
    • The OTR plugin has been removed.
    • The launch/update.sh have been heavily simplified to use the uv tool instead of custom logic. It will be updated in the future to be able to run on pipx too, as uv is not available on some platforms.

      The XMPP Standards Foundation: Open Letter to Meta: Support True Messaging Interoperability with XMPP

      news.movim.eu / PlanetJabber • 27 March • 1 minute

    It has been a little over a year since Meta announced their proposal for third-parties to achieve messaging interoperability with WhatsApp, with Facebook Messenger following half a year later. Not for everyone, and only because these services were designated as Gate Keepers under the recent Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EU. So only in the EU, and then with many strings attached. In that time, a lot has been written. Element/Matrix have put in efforts to work with Meta to get some interoperability going. Unfortunately, the reference offers don’t provide what we would call true interoperability, and given that virtually nobody has taken up Meta on this offer, their proposal just falls short across the board.

    Over at the IETF, the More Instant Messaging Interoperability (MIMI) working group is working on mechanisms for interoperability. While several of our members are involved with MIMI and working on the implementation of the related MLS protocol for end-to-end encryption, we believe it is time to have true interoperability using a well-tested and widely implemented set of standards: XMPP.

    To that end, we today publish an Open Letter to Meta . A call to action, urging Meta to adopt XMPP for messaging interoperability. For a more in-depth reasoning, we also provide a detailed technical briefing .

    We are ready. Let’s make it happen.
