Hi everyone!

Welcome to the latest edition of your pseudo-monthly JMP update!

In case it’s been a while since you checked out JMP, here’s a refresher: JMP lets you send and receive text and picture messages (and calls) through a real phone number right from your computer, tablet, phone, or anything else that has a Jabber client.  Among other things, JMP has these features: Your phone number on every device; Multiple phone numbers, one app; Free as in Freedom; Share one number with multiple people.

It has been a while since we got a newsletter out, and lots has been happening as we race towards our launch.

For those who have experienced the issue with Google Voice participants not showing up properly in our MMS group texting stack, we have a new stack in testing right now.  Let support know if you want to try it out, it has been working well so far for those already using it.

If you check your account settings for the “refer a friend” option you will now see two kinds of referral code.  The list of one-time use codes remains the same as always: a free month for your friend, and a free month’s worth of credit for you if they start paying.  The new code up in the top is multi-use and you can post and share it as much as you like.  It provides credit equivalent to an additional month to anyone who uses it on sign up after their initial $15 deposit as normal, and then a free month’s worth of credit for you after that payment fully clears.

We mentioned before that much of the team will be present at FOSSY, and we can now reveal why: there will be a conference track dedicated to XMPP, which we are helping to facilitate!  Call for proposals ends May 14th. Sign up and come out this summer!

For quite some time now, customers have been asked while registering if they would like to enable others who know their phone number to discover their Jabber ID, to enable upgrading to end-to-end encryption, video calls, etc.  The first version of this feature is now live, and users of at least Cheogram Android and Movim can check the contact details of anyone they exchange SMS with to see if a Jabber ID is listed.  We are happy to announce that we have also partnered with Quicksy to allow discovery of anyone registered for their app or directory as well.

Jabber-side reactions are now translated where possible into the tapback pseudo-syntax recognized by many Android and iMessage users so that your reactions will appear in a native way to those users.  In Cheogram Android you can swipe to reply to a message and enter a single emoji as the reply to send a reaction/tapback.

There have been two Cheogram Android releases since our last newsletter, with a third coming out today.  You no longer need to add a contact to send a message or initiate a call.  The app has seen the addition of moderation features for channel administrators, as well as respecting these moderation actions on display.  For offensive media arriving from other sources, in avatars, or just not moderated quickly enough, users also have the ability to permanently block any media they see from their device.

Cheogram Android has seen some new sticker-related features including default sticker packs and the ability to import any sticker pack made for signal (browse signalstickers.com to find more sticker packs, just tap “add to signal” to add them to Cheogram Android).

There are also brand-new features today in 2.12.1-5, including a new onboarding flow that allows new users to register and pay for JMP before getting a Jabber ID, and then set up their very own Snikket instance all from within the app.  This flow also features some new introductory material about the Jabber network which we will continue to refine over time:

Notifications about new messages now use the conversation style in Android.  This means that you can set seperate priority and sounds per-conversation at the OS level on new enough version of Android.  There is also an option in each conversation’s menu to add that conversation to your homescreen, something that has always been possible with the app but hopefully this makes it more discoverable for some.

For communities organizing in Jabber channels, sometimes it can be useful to notify everyone present about a message.  Cheogram Android now respects the attention element from members and higher in any channel or group chat.  To send a message with this priority attached, start the message body with @here (this will not be included in the actual message people see).

This release also brings an experimental prototype supporting WebXDC.  This is an experimental specification to allow developers to ship mini-apps that work inside your chats.  Take any *.xdc file and send it to a contact or group chat where everyone uses Cheogram Android and you can play games, share notes, shopping lists, calendars, and more.  Please come by the channel to discuss the future of this technology on the Jabber network with us.

To learn what’s happening with JMP between newsletters, here are some ways you can find out:

• The chatroom remains the heart of the community.  You can also join from your web browser or from Matrix.
• The blog, where you may be reading this. Can also be followed in a client like Movim.
• The Lemmy Community
• The Subreddit
• On Twitter

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful rest of your week!

One feature people ask about from time to time is stickers.  Now, “stickers” isn’t really a feature, nor is it even universally agreed what it means, but we’ve been working on some improvements to Cheogram Android (and the Cheogram service) to make some sticker workflows better, released today in 2.12.1-3.  This post will mostly talk about those changes and the technical implications; if you just want to see a demo of some UI you may want to skip to the video demo.

Many Android users already have pretty good support for inserting stickers (or GIFs) into Cheogram Android via their keyboard.  However, as the app existed at the time, this would result in the sender re-uploading and the recipient re-downloading the sticker image every time, and fill up the sending server and receiving device with many copies of the same image.  The first step to mitigating this was to switch local media storage in the app to content-addressed, which in this case means that the file is named after the hash of its contents.  This prevents filling up the device when receiving the same image many times.

Now that we know the hashes of our stored media, we can use SIMS to transmit this hash when sending.  If the app sees an image that it already has, it can display it without downloading at all, saving not only space but bandwidth and time as well.  The Cheogram service also uses SIMS to transmit hashes of incoming MMS images for this purpose as well.

An existing Jabber client which uses the word “stickers” is Movim.  It wouldn’t make sense to add the word to our UI without supporting what they already have.  So we added support for XHTML-IM including Bits of Binary images.  This also relies on hash-based storage or caching, which by now we had.  This tech will also be useful in the future to extend beyond stickers into custom emoji.

Some stickers are animated, and users want to be able to send GIFs as well, so the app was updated to support inline playback of animated images (both GIF and WebP format).

Some users don’t have any sticker support in their keyboard or OS, so we want to provide some tools for these users as well.  We have added the option to download some default sticker packs (mostly curated from the default set from Movim for now) so that users start with some options.  We also built a small proxy to allow easily importing stickers intended for signal by clicking the regular “add to signal” links on eg signalstickers.com.  Any sticker selected from these will get sent without even uploading, saving time and space on the server, and then will be received by any user of the app who has the default packs installed with no need for downloading, with fallbacks for other clients and situations of course.

If a user receives a sticker that they’d like to save for easily sending out again later, they can long-press any image they receive and choose “Save as sticker” which will prompt them to choose or create a sticker pack to keep it in, then save it there.  Pointing a sticker sheet app or keyboard at this directory also allows re-using other sticker selection UIs with custom stickers saved in this way.

Taken together we hope these features produce real benefits for users of stickers, both with and without existing keyboard support, and also provide foundational work that we can build upon to provide custom emoji, thumbnails before downloading, URL previews, and other rich media features in the future.  If you’d like to see some of these features in action, check out this short video.

Movim 0.18 is planned to be released soon.

In the meantime, let's have a look at one specific feature that is really useful when you integrate Movim with the Spectrum2 - Telegram bridge.

For those that are not aware, XMPP can connect to other chat networks using tools called "transport". One of the most used is called Spectrum2 and can connect to many other networks thanks to its libpurple support.

Telegram transport setup

What will we do here is:

• Setup telegram-purple in Spectrum2 on Debian
• Connect it to a XMPP server (here ejabberd)
• Adapt the transport to integrate with Movim

Setup Spectrum2 and telegram-purple

Here I will not detail the basic installation, the official Spectrum2 documentation is pretty complete.

Once the repository is setup, please install the base package and the libpurple module:

apt install spectrum2 spectrum2-backend-libpurple

For telegram-purple the README is also quite complete

Create a Telegram transport

Once all the packages are setup, we will create a transport configuration file. You can reuse the spectrum.cfg.example located in the /etc/spectrum2/transports/ as a base.

# nano /etc/spectrum2/transports/spectrum_telegram.cfg

This is basically the config file that I used for my own telegram.movim.eu transport:

[service]
server_mode = 0
user=spectrum

jid = telegram.movim.eu
password = spectrumpassword
server = 127.0.0.1
port = 5347
backend_host = 127.0.0.1

users_per_backend=10

backend=/usr/bin/spectrum2_libpurple_backend
protocol=prpl-telegram

web_directory=/home/movim/upload/spectrum
web_url=https://upload.movim.eu/spectrum

[identity]
name=Telegram Transport
type=telegram

[logging]
config = /etc/spectrum2/logging.cfg
backend_config = /etc/spectrum2/backend-logging.cfg

[database]
type = sqlite3

[registration]
enable_public_registration=1

When Spectrum2 will connect to the Telegram network, the stickers will be downloaded as files on the server. By default an ugly path is simply sent to the XMPP clients. We will turn it to a proper URL and let Movim to its magic.

To do that we need to configure the Web Storage module. You can also find more documentation about it there.

web_directory=/home/movim/upload/spectrum
web_url=https://upload.movim.eu/spectrum

It's pretty self explanatory. The downloaded stickers will be put in the web_directory directory. The second parameter, web_url, is basically telling Spectrum2 how to general its URL before sending them in the messages.

Configure ejabberd

Then we need to add a new service in our ejabberd.yml configuration file.

  -
    port: 5347
    module: ejabberd_service
    access: all
    ip: "127.0.0.1"
    global_routes: false
    hosts:
      "telegram.movim.eu":
        password: "spectrumpassword"

Once everything is setup, restart Spectrum2 and ejabberd. For Spectrum2 you can do it using spectrum2_manager or a dedicated systemd configuration file.

Configure our web server

We then need to expose those files to the web. A simple nginx configuration will handle it.

server {
    server_name upload.movim.eu;

    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    …

    root /home/movim/upload;

    location /spectrum {
        alias /home/movim/movim/spectrum;
    }
}

Fix the nasty file rights with Incron

If you start to use your Telegram transport at this point you'll notice that the stickers URLs are returning a 403 Forbidden error.

Indeed, Spectrum2 is writting the files in the directory using it's own rights. And this can't be configured.

We will then use another useful tool called Incron. This tool works like CRON but instead of working on time events, it works on file events.

You can find a pretty complete documentation there.

apt install incron 
nano /etc/incron.allow # add your spectrum user there
sudo -su spectrum
incrontab -e

In the incrontab file well then change dynamicaly the rights of the files once they are wrote in the directory (check the documentation for more details).

/home/movim/upload/spectrum   IN_CLOSE_WRITE          chmod 664 $@/$#

Enjoy your nice Telegram stickers in Movim

In Movim, nothing more to do. With the version 0.18, Movim will try to resolve the incoming messages that contains a URL and see if it's a valid picture. Which is the case for Telegram stickers.

You can also note that it works for any other incoming picture URL, including those sent using Conversations or other XMPP clients.

That's all folks!

#telegram #xmpp #movim #transport #stickers #ejabberd #admin

#Hello everyone, I'm #Miho, the official #mascot of the #Movim project. Do not hesitate to add me in your contacts :)

You can also use nice #stickers of me in Movim, more are coming soon!

Original article written by kawaii.

Movim is a decentralized social network, written in #PHP and HTML5 and based on the XMPP standard protocol. One of my faviourite features in Movim is that you can send #stickers to your friends. By default #Movim comes bundled with a few sticker packs but if like me you'd like to extend this and add your own then it's surprisingly not too difficult! There are three main components to creating your own sticker pack:

You'll need to find the following directory on your Movim server filesystem:

/var/www/movim/app/widgets/Stickers/stickers/

Within this directory you will see the default Movim sticker packs i.e. 'mochi' and 'racoon'. Create a new directory here, for this example call it 'mystickers' or something. Within this directory create a new file called 'info.ini'. The contents of this file describe some basic information about the sticker pack. Here is an example from the 'racoon' set:

author      = Corine Tea 
license     = CreativeCommon BY SA
url         = https://lechocobo.wordpress.com/

Edit and enter the relevant details into the file and then save it. Now we need to add our 'icon.png' to this directory. This is a small image that will be displayed in the list of sticker packs within the Movim client itself. You must name this file exactly 'icon.png' or it will not be displayed. Finally, your actual sticker images themselves. Movim will not simply load any image within the directory. Your images must be converted so that the filename is the SHA1 hash of the file contents, plus the file extension (PNG). You can use the following #Python script created by James Curtis to rename any image files (except icon.png) into an acceptable format for use within Movim:

import hashlib
import os
from glob import glob

image_file_list = glob('*.png')

for image in image_file_list:
    if not image == "icon.png":
        image_hash = hashlib.sha1(open(image, 'rb').read()).hexdigest()
        os.rename(image, "{image_hash}.png".format(image_hash=image_hash))

Any image with the '.png' extension within your new sticker pack directory will have been converted so that the filename is the correct SHA1 hash which Movim will accept and display. Enjoy your new stickers! :)

Special thanks to Jaussoin Timothée for creating Movim and to James Curtis for providing the Python script used to convert the image filenames to the required SHA1 hash.

Six months after Movim 0.10 Holmes, here is the new winter release of the Movim project.

Small recap: Movim is a project that aims to build an IM and social networking service exclusively on top of the XMPP protocol.

This 0.11 version refined several features and will introduce a couple of big changes, mainly regarding the navigation and the project UI.

Features

New contacts list

The contacts list (or roster) has always been a very complex element inside Movim. It was ported on Angular 1 a couple of versions ago but suffered since then of performances issues (that could block the page loading for several seconds).

This new version brings a complete rewrite of this feature in pure PHP (with a bit of JavaScript). The contacts are now grouped in a simple list. The search has been improved and now allows you to search instantly among your contacts using their name, ID, nickname or group.

Onboarding

At first startup, Movim is now asking for some browser and account preconfiguration regarding notifications and pop-ups (used for videoconferencing) preferences.

The sharing feature

As promised, articles sharing has been greatly improved in and around the Movim project. It is now possible to share an article (as in "write an article as an answer to") on your own Blog. This feature is based on the IETF — Atom Threading Extensions (RFC 4685) norm. Again, Movim aims at showing that it's possible to build a social solution relying only on existing standards.

Sharing an external link has also been improved. Movim now understands XMPP URIs.

Communities

Communities, previously named "groups", are the result of a deep redesign of the way articles are displayed navigated through. The reorganization of the content makes the exploration much easier and natural. This new name also lets Communities clearly stand out from group discussions (chatrooms) and groups in the contacts list.

Communities also benefited of a better management system, for users, but also for administrators who can now assign roles in a more precise way.

All in all, that's a lot of changes but don't worry, Movim will still be compatible with old versions as nothing has changed on the XMPP side. ;)

Posts

Two littles features have been added on the articles page to facilitate articles discovery and evaluation. An article is now surrounded by links to the previous and following articles of the same Community or from the same contact and a "Like" button let's you express your contempt to the author of the article. :)

As an author, a new Notifications block on the homepage informs you of comments and likes on your published articles.

Discovery

The interface redesign also brings new features of content discovery.

Movim now provides readers with related articles published on Blogs or in Communities. Suggestions are so far pretty basic but should get better in the upcoming versions.

Chat

The Chat part has not been forgotten. A lot of changes have been done on the interface to ease the navigation on small and big screens (removal of useless spaces) and to fix a few bugs (on Android). A new pack of stickers has been added with a Creative Common BY-SA license.

The file upload and file sharing UI have both been redesigned and now make use of one of the latest XMPP norms, XEP-0385 : Stateless Inline Media Sharing (SIMS). It allows Movim to integrate them better in Chats.

Videoconferencing (beta)

In this version, the videoconferencing feature is coming back in Movim. As usual, nothing but standards here (WebRTC and XMPP Jingle this time). However some bugs still remain. They should all be fixed for the upcoming (0.12) version. This feature is only available for the desktops for now.

Refactoring of the session system

The user sessions management code within Movim was one of the oldest ones in use in the project. It has been heavily redesigned and now brings a new way of handeling cookies and session variables both in memory and in the database.

Around Movim

We now see more and more external contributions on Movim and its linked projects.

Android Client

Thanks to schlusslicht the Android native file selector has been integrated to the application. You can now upload files from your phone.

A little security update regarding certificates management has been added at the same time (non valid certificates are no longer accepted).

The Android application is available on Google Play and F-Droid.

Electron Client (desktop)

The Electron client has been updated. Mike Barnes (bremensaki) has added the support of contextual menus in the interface. Thanks Mike !

New Debian and RPM packages have been made. Movim is now also available on Windows and macOS. All those applications are available on the official website.

Atomtopubsub

Atomtopubsub is the little magic tool that, as its name suggests, parses Atom feeds and injects them on Pubsub nodes. It allows Movim to offer a lot of news feeds among Communities. A big thanks to Link Mauve, who took some time during the 33c3 to port atomtopubsub in Python 3 and to optimize the processing of articles inside the application.

Movim Europe

Movim Europe is a structure that provides support for the Movim project. It has been declared in the Netherlands and currently offers two services.

• technical support and advices to deploy the platform (and linked services such as XMPP servers or SQL databases) and/or on the technologies involved in the project;
• the possibility as a company, an association or an individual to fund the development of features that were not initially planned on the roadmap and that are part of a particular need.

The gathered funds will first cover the running costs (domains, hosting, travels...) that were until now payed by the founder, but also to free more time to develop the project and its surroundings (administration, linked projects, conferences...).

Don't hesitate to contact us on the official chatroom.

A few figures

We also have two official servers: one hosted in Amsterdam, with around 4 000 registrations and 50 connected people, and one in Roubaix with 2 800 registered people and around 20 simultaneously connected people.

Everyday, 4 000 messages (simple or from groupchats) are sent or received, and around twenty articles are written by the users of nl.movim.eu.

Statistics that are (voluntarily) sent on api.movim.eu by the deployed instances are showing a total of 8 000 registered users and around 250 simultaneously connected ones along the day. The XMPP server movim.eu reaches 300 connected people during the day.

Some plans are made to open new servers both in Australia and in Russia.

Movim 0.12

A new roadmap is also planned for the 0.12 that should be released this summer. Two main changes are planned:

• Movim has a heavy memory consumption, it can reach 50 Mio for some users connected on a server. This problem is not due to memory leaks but to architectural decisions that are duplicating for each session some parts of the Movim code in memory. A huge change on this subject is planned, that should significantly reduce the memory footprint during runtime.
• An implementation of the OMEMO protocol has been strongly demanded by the community. A preliminary research work has been done in January and it seems that this end-to-end encryption protocol could be implemented in Movim. A publication about this feature will most probably be released in the next few months.

We need you!

Don't forget, the Movim project needs you! As a source code contributor, but also as an administrator, packager, translator or even a drawer (if you want to add your own stickers to Movim!).

All contributions are welcome, so don't hesitate to come and discuss them with us on movim@conference.movim.eu. :)

That’s all folks!

Translated from the original French article by nodpounod - Christine HO & daftaupe - Pierre-Alain TORET

A few months after Movim 0.9 - Tchouri, here comes a new release of Movim, the decentralized social network! Labeled 0.10, it offers many major improvements both in the project core and in the features offered to end users.

This new release confirms Movim's position as a serious alternative to other messaging solutions such as Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack. Movim’s goal is to finally deliver a free (as in free speech) communication platform, built with ease-of-use and pleasantness in mind, on top of very reliable standards such as XMPP and Atom, already widely deployed and tested.

Indeed, instead of creating yet-another closed network as many other projects (whether free or not) have done before, Movim uses the XMPP protocol and actively takes part in improving it.

Articles management

Articles management has been a bit reworked:

• you can now assign tags with accents and special chars to your piece of news
• public articles will be accessible throughout the whole XMPP network, not just the Movim pod where it was published
• the « News » page now displays latest public articles from the whole network

Furthermore, tags and comments of deleted articles are now correctly cleaned (on the XMPP network but also in the Movim local cache database). Pictures management inside content of articles was a little bit reworked as well.

Instant Messaging

One of the main goals of this new release was to improve user experience and add some new features to the IM side of the project.

Last Message Correction

In this release, Movim implements XEP-0308 : Last Message Correction allowing users to correct the previous message using the ↑ key. This modification is compatible with many clients such as Conversations or Gajim.

Stickers!

Stickers support has been added to the project once again via the extension XMPP XEP-0231 : Bits of Binary allowing Movim users to send stickers to other clients such as Pidgin or Gajim.

To celebrate this new feature, two sets of Creative Commons-licensed stickers have been created exclusively for the project.

A racoon-themed set of 16 stickers drawn by Corine Tea (CC BY-SA), and a ZeMarmot movie set of 10 stickers drawn by Aryeom Han (CC BY-SA 4.0).

The idea with these sets is to promote projects that share our values while offering people to use and share nice free stickers with their contacts.

Thanks to the artists for their work! If you want to add your own stickers to the project, do not hesitate to contact us (room: movim@conference.movim.eu). :)

And many other things...

Along with the small user interface fixes and other user experience tweaks, some other changes have also been introduced.

You can now edit the chat rooms configuration after adding them. You are also notified of new messages published in those chat rooms.

Some new emojis have been added to the existing ones ;)

A new algorithm for displaying chat bubbles now allows us to save some space by grouping messages sent by the same person within the same minute.

Elsewhere in the project

A new version of the Android client (available in the Playstore and in F-Droid) has been released following a redo of the notification system.

The desktop client, based on Electron, has also been released in a new version. For now, it has only been packaged for Debian and Ubuntu, but we welcome all packaging effort for any other distributions or OS.

More generally, the whole project interface has been through a redo to be correctly displayed on small screen.

Be also advised that all Movim clients can be configured to work with non-official project instances. It means that if you set up your project's own instance (or pod), you'll be able to add it manually through the client loading screen.

Global search

In one click or using the Ctrl+M shortcut you can now launch the new global search panel. It will allow you to search instantly through your articles and contacts.

This version has been named after this new feature; Holmes is indeed the family name of a respectable private eye but also the name of one of our solar system comet.

Languages

Thanks again to all the translators who have done some incredible work translating Movim to so many languages. The project is now (almost) completely translated to French, Polish, Danish, German, Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew, Czech, Italian… and many other!

Don't hesistate to come and help us on the translating tool Transifex ;)

Performances, stability and memory

Many improvements have been brought to the daemon which was introduced in the last version. It comes with improved performances but more importantly a noticeable decrease of memory consumption thanks to the sharing of some librairies between subprocesses (with a gain of more than 5Mo per session!).

An important bug concerning Websockets handling which often led to an early shutdown of the session has been fixed. If you use Movim daily, this session can now stay open for several days or weeks!

Interface and administration

Administrators can now specify their own XMPP server when signin up into their instance. This is also part of the will of not limiting users wishing to set up their own instances without depending on the official servers.

More generally, some parts (like story heads and lists) of the interface have been reworked to make browsing through Movim easier. The same has been done for the article style which now offers a better rendering of some HTML tags (like paragraphs, titles, quotes, or code extracts).

File upload

Some small improvements have been brought to the file uploading functionnality (which again is based on XMPP, XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload).

Upload errors are now clearer and big images are resized and compressed on the fly.

In short

Initially thought as a minor update of the 0.9 version which had introduced an important rework, this release has finally turned into its own version: the 0.10.

The heart of the project can now be considered as stable (even if there is still changes down the hill to optimize and improve Movim). Future versions will most likely look like this one in terms of content: better integration of the existing in the user environments, new functionalities which will complete the existing ones and better overall coherence.

What's coming in Movim 0.11

The project is still going strong, and the main lines of the futur version are already shaping up.

One of the key feature of this version will be the improvement of information sharing inside Movim but also with its environment. For example, we plan to allow article sharing with contacts and chat room invites in only a few clicks.

This version also marks the big return of Jingle in the project (which had dispappeared some versions ago following troubles concerning support and stability). Audio calls will most likely be implemented first. Some tests are also planned for the Android app.

Integration with desktops client for Windows and MacOS will also among our development efforts. The main idea behind that being to be able to be present on a maximum of OS with large audience.

Other surprises will also be coming in this new version. We'll tell you more in a coming article, stay tuned ;)

Thanks to jaes, Christine Ho and all the other translators of this releasenote. The original article in French was published on LinuxFr.org!

Voilà un mois que Movim 0.9 - Tchouri est sorti et déjà plein de nouvelles fonctionnalités ont été intégrées pour la prochaine version !

Le travail effectué sur la 0.9.1 (qui n'a pas encore de nom pour le moment) se concentre essentiellement sur la partie chat du projet.

Il est déjà possible d'éditer le précédent message envoyé (en utilisant l'extension XEP-0308: Last Message Correction de XMPP) mais aussi de savoir quand un message a été reçu par le destinataire (voir XEP-0184: Message Delivery Receipts).

Petit surprise pour les movimiens: le support des stickers (voir la page Wikipedia pour comprendre de quoi il s'agit) a été ajouté dans le projet (via l'intégration de XEP-0231: Bits of Binary). Ce qui est intéressant avec cette fonctionnalité, c'est qu'il n'y a pas de restriction sur la liste des stickers envoyés ou reçus et qu'il est déjà possible d'envoyer des stickers de Movim vers Pidgin ou Gajim. Un cache est créé par Movim pour éviter de transférer plusieurs fois l'image sur le réseau.

Je travaille également avec des dessinateurs (et dessinatrices !) pour intégrer des stickers exclusifs au projet ! Un premier pack, créé par Corine Tea, est déjà disponible sous licence Creative Commons BY-NC-SA. Je donnerai plus d'informations prochainement là dessus ;)

Dans le reste du projet, quelques retouches esthétiques mineures. La page "Accueil" a été supprimée et son contenu a été fusionné avec la page "Actualité". Plein de petits bugs ont été corrigés ici et là dont un sur la gestion des étiquettes des publications (qui supportent désormais les accents et certains caractères spéciaux !).

Une mise à jour de la librairie Modl a permis d'appliquer de meilleures restrictions sur la base de données et ainsi de la rendre plus cohérente.

Une nouvelle version de l'application bureau de Movim est également sortie pour Debian et Ubuntu. Elle est disponible, comme toujours, sur le dépôt APT officiel du projet apt.movim.eu. Elle corrige certains soucis de navigation et les liens externes sont maintenant ouverts dans le navigateur par défaut.

Le pod nl.movim.eu est passé à la version PHP 7.0 ainsi qu'au HTTP/2 avec un gain de performances à la clef ! N'hésitez pas à utiliser ce pod qui possède exactement les mêmes fonctionnalités que pod.movim.eu.

Il reste encore un petit peu de travail à faire avant la sortie de la 0.9.1. N'hésitez pas à venir discuter avec nous sur le salon officiel du projet, à me poser des questions et à ouvrir des bugs si vous en trouvez !
