Hi
Steve just got in touch with me, he says he's interested in !decentral,
and I guess in our general approach.
I forwarded him to our IRC, but if someone wants to get in touch with
him directly, I think he'll be glad. Seems like he's looking for some
contacts in European hacker communities :)

Hi there!
@rek2 just told me about !decentral since he knows I'm into these sorts
of things.
What are the active projects, and where do you guys hang out online? (On
Delta Chat, perhaps?... Still exploring Komona's links!)
Thanks!

today we published a blog post on the current releases:
https://delta.chat/en/2019-01-27-releases
it's been a lot of work from many people to make
it to this major milestone. Thanks all, also those
not specifically mentioned in the blog post ...
as DeltaChat continues to gain momentum it's not
so easy to keep track of everyone involved ;)
there are a few immediate things where we'd be grateful
for help in the upcoming month:
- advancing and refining app translations
https://www.transifex.com/delta-chat/delta-chat-app/dashboard/
- helping new users in the https://support.delta.chat forum
- testing and stabilizing the Android release in
particular in order to push it to the play store.
F-droid is quite slow in pushing releases and
it's about time to distribute it more widely, isn't it?
- building a Delta/Desktop release for Windows,
the last missing platform.
- trying to advance the iOS testflight app
to also bring it to the ios app store.
Delta/iOS will remain behind the other two
efforts but there is not that much missing
to make it real-life usable. While we have 2-3 people
who care from time to time for Delta/iOS
we don't have or know anyone available
who could more majorly help.
Let's see where we can get in 2019 with what
is hopefully a good start ;)

Hi! I have updated to v0.100 and now I have a problem with "Contact request" notifications, which never stop notifying about already seen old emails.
I do not want to be notified of such "contact requests", how do you disable them?
Thanks!

Hello,
I've seen that some strings are repeated on Transifex. eg. "QR invite
code". Not a big problem for us (translators), but maybe this could be
some kind of bug and I'm just asking if it's ok for you.
Thanks,
Enrico
Happy new Year fellow Delta Devs,

See you all later!

Hello,
Do you need a person for testing the desktop app on non-debian systems like Fedora or Mac OS X?
I have downloaded the program from github, installed some libs and helper programs like npm and electron and now i can start the desktop client on Fedora.
I am a software developer for c/c++. I am not so familiar with java script.
Thanks for the presentation in Freiburg/Germany.
Stefan.
Hi all,
in case you are wondering about what's happening in delta chat development
land ... find below the "monthly" report for Dec 2018 we write for the otf-active list,
the list of projects funded by the OpenTechnologyfund, among them Briar,
Guardianproject and several other interesting ones.
Also: stable DeltaChat releases are coming for Android and Desktop real soon now (tm) ...
btw, for later next week help with translations and dev-release testing would help --
it's also ongoing with the excellent bug reports from Adbenitez and others,
see here for good example: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android-ii/issues/203
happy new beginnings everyone, looking forward to another interesting year
of DeltaChat happenings :)

Subject: [otf-active] DeltaChat in December 2018
Hi otf-active,
tons of things happened December 2018 with Delta.Chat (the e-mail based chat messenger),
here are highlights:
- published the needfinding report based on 16 interviews with journalists, activists,
trainers in Ukraine. It forms the basis, along with user-testing result from Oct/Nov 2018
in Kyiv, for upcoming DeltaChat developments. The report is useful to skim/read
also for other secure messenging projects.
https://delta.chat/assets/blog/dcneedfindingreport.pdf
- several APK preview releases of Delta/Android-dev, our renewed and refactored code
base for the Delta/Android app. It closes some 20 known and hard to fix
issues with the old code base and is currently receiving early user-testing
and we are fixing bugs and UX glitches, aiming for a new F-Droid release in Jan2019
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android-ii/releases/
- several Debian package preview releases of Delta/Desktop, our new Desktop app
which is continously evolving and used successfully by a bunch of people
on an everyday basis. We are still tweaking our Desktop version to
be more familiar/similar to the Android version workflows.
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/releases/
- the 0.97 versions of Desktop and Android releases also work with
a new combined transifex translation repository, requiring re-translating
all strings which now are used across Desktop and Android apps.
https://www.transifex.com/delta-chat/delta-chat-app/dashboard/
- Due to high community demand, some DeltaChat developers met for a
couple of days and revamped the "shared account" logic which allows users to
use a single e-mail account for both regular and chat e-mail. The new refined logic
was first prototyped and tested from Python and then implemented with Deltachat-core,
the C-library used by all DeltaChat apps.
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core/releases/
- At the yearly CCC conference (35C3 in Leipzig) we organized
the !decentral assembly where several DeltaChat and DAT sessions
took places with friends from IPFS, qutebrowser and other projects
hanging out as well. We also did a UX session with 20 people attending
and could get everyone setup with Android, Desktop or iOS (iOS
saw heavy development during 35c3 which needs to be incorporated into
github master still).
https://signup.c3assemblies.de/assembly/c51983c8-b560-4d2b-95a1-f07a98c8e322
For any questions, mail me or find us on #deltachat freenode.
wishing everyone a good beginning of 2019,
holger
