dear delta-dev ;) a quick heads up for those not aware of it ... Desktop/iOS/Android apps are doing repeated development releases while we try to iron out bugs and instabilities, 8 or so remaining, 88 issues done: https://github.com/orgs/deltachat/projects/15 Meanwhile compl4xx and treefit have implemented automatic Desktop builds on github-desktop PRs. Idea is to evolve to have single a entry page like https://getfirefox.org (namely get.delta.chat) where one easily finds the default install package for the platform from which one is requesting the page, but also easy means of choosing manually. We'd also like to make it easy to find development downloads, built from the master branch or PRs. Starting around November 25, several core contributors are meeting up in Freiburg/DE for a week although not everybody will be around for all of it. One major focus will be on rust-core and Desktop/Android/iOS hacking -- on UX-facing features like Burner Accounts, optimizing network traffic, automatic housekeeping of IMAP storage, provider-specific onboarding, multi-device sync, refined verified groups, stickers ... and, because that's what programmers easily lean towards doing, discuss architecture and security topics all the time, like a current hot topics is how to to best do rust-imap async. Here we plan to have a longer A/V session with Jon Gjengset, the author of the rust-imap library Delta Chat is currently using. Lastly, for those who are considering to make it to 36c3, the yearly CCC-congress in Leipzig end of the year, a number of Delta Chat folks will hang out and co-instigate the "!decentral" assembly which is in neighborhood to befriended projects. We'll also offer some hands-on sessions to be announced before or on-site. so much in all brevity, holger
