[June 2018] Refactoring, UI and preparations
Pre-releaseThis month I've finally started working on Publish-Subscribe (XEP-0060), Stream Management (XEP-1098) and HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363). It's still far from being done but the basic messages for the server communication are done. I've also refactored the TCP and XMPP connection for better reliability, performance and better error reporting. Now if an error occurs you can, like sown in the examples, click on the error message and it will displays additional information. There's now also a TLS indicator lock, which indicates whether or whether not you are connect via a secure TLS connection with the server.
I've also added the option to switch the App theme and pick a custom chat background.
Please report bugs here!
