      Movim 0.22.3 is out

      pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Thursday, 3 August, 2023 - 21:15 edit

    Hi everyone!

    I'm happy to announce that #Movim 0.22.3 has been released. In this small #release, among some bug fixes you will find:

    XEP-0425: Message Moderation

    Movim is now supporting message moderation in chatrooms. This will allow admins to moderate bad messages in a few clicks.

    Movim is also now handling moderated and removed messages coming from bridged accounts. Deleted messages on Telegram bridged using Slidge will be properly handled and removed in Movim accordingly.

    Improved avatars

    Some small cleanup were done regarding avatar display. Newly uploaded avatars are now 512x512px !

    Fixes fixes fixes

    A dumb mistake, that was preventing likes and comments to be published under articles has been fixed as well as a Docker related issue that was preventing to serve some files properly.

    Enjoy!

      Movim 0.22.2 is out PARTY POPPER

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Thursday, 20 July, 2023 - 19:14

    Hi everyone!

    Another small bugfix #release. Lets have a look!

    New design for the navigation bars

    This version introduce a new design for the navigation bars, both on desktop and mobile. Nothing big but it should gives some more feedback when navigating between the different Movim zones.

    Avatars refresh fixes

    Several bugs around the avatars refresh were also fixed. #Movim now properly check if the #avatar is not already in cache before trying to refresh it again.

    The avatar refresh queries are also now spread in time using a super simple scheduler. This helps lowering the network (and I/O) load when logging in.

    Some avatars placeholders were also not displayed in some chatrooms, this version fix this small issue.

    Chatroom administration panel

    The previous version introduced a refactor that broke the #chatroom administration panel access. Its now fixed ☺️

    join.movim.eu fixes

    Not directly related with this release, but join.movim.eu was also updated to support the newest Movim versions. If you are a server admin, do not hesitate to register your instance there ☺️

    That's all folks!

      Movim 0.22.1 is out! FACE WITH PARTY HORN AND PARTY HAT

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Sunday, 9 July, 2023 - 13:08 edit · 1 minute

    A small #release but with a couple of performances improvements and bug fixes.

    Confidentiality settings 🔒

    The configuration page was reorganized and all the confidentiality setting are now grouped in one unique section.

    The new Confidentiality section

    Linked to that, if you choose to keep your profile private, Movim is now completely disabling your public page, blog and links to your profile.

    Fixes

    RatchetPHP

    Movim is relying on Ratchet to manage its Websockets. We moved to the fork maintained by Plesk that upgrated and is now maintaining the project. See the related ticket. This upgrade fixes the related code Warnings under PHP 8.2 as well.

    Bookmarks 2 🔖

    0.22 brought a refactor of the internal XMPP Pubsub related code. This change broke the #Bookmarks management. This version fixes it.

    Video-conferencing fixes 📹

    Movim has now some basic support of MSID in SDP (what does it means ?). This basically fixes video-conferencing between #Movim and Conversations.

    Performances improvements 🚀

    Maybe one of the most noticeable changes of this release are the two database related fixes that are bringing important #performances boosts (under certain conditions):

    • Some large chatrooms, with plenty of messages, were taking many seconds to load. This was caused by Movim trying to find the current room subject in the #database before displaying the room panel. The related query was rewritten to reduce considerably its execution time.
    • The unread messages counter database query, that was known to be one of the slowest part of Movim, was also rewritten to divide by 2 its execution time. On top of that a new index was added to boost even more its performances. This should greatly improve the chat conversations and page load time on large accounts.

    And finally, some pictures, avatars and icons are now loaded lazily. This means that your phone or browser will not load them before they are actively displayed on your screen. This greatly reduce the server load and page display time.

    Enjoy

      Movim 0.21 - Whipple

      Movim 0.21, codename Whipple, is finally out! Let's have a look of all the new and improved things that you can find in this big #release 🥳 Message replies You can now reply to messages thanks to the implementation of the XEP-0461: Message Replies. More and more clients in the XMPP ecosystem supports this feature, including Slidge, new XMPP gateways project that is allowing you to bridge Movim with Telegram, Discord and many others chat platforms. Push Notifications Movim now integrates WebPush. Never miss a message, even when Movim is closed. This feature is also working when you install Movim as a Progressive Web App on your Android or iOS device. Improved account configuration The configuration panel has been redesigned to be more accessible. You can now block contacts directly from your Movim instance and manage your block-list from the panel. Microphones and webcams can also be configured and tested from the Audio & Video configuration tab. New emojis This version brings the support of Unicode 14 and many new emojis that you can use in your messages, posts, replies and reactions. Redesign Movim is following the #Material Design guidelines since 2014. This release is bringing a fresh redesign of the components and animations based on Material 3. The main menu was reorganized to clarify the navigation and hide the second-level pages in a sub-menu that appears when hovering the account item. Following this redesign Movim accounts can now set a banner next to their avatars. Share and Send To The Send To feature, that allows you to send articles to contacts was completed by a Share feature allowing you to share the article in a new publication on your personnal blog on in a Community that you're in. Useful to share things around ! Audio messages Movim can now play and record #audio messages. Gallery Communities When creating or configuring your Communities you can now set a Community type. The Gallery Community forces the publications to contain at least one image and display them as a grid. This feature is the result of a long clarification and standardization work made on XMPP Pubsub with the pubsub#type attribute, the introduction of a new XEP based on that change called XEP-0472: Pubsub Social Feed and the support of pubsub#type in ejabberd (related ticket). Performances, memory consumption and stability A very important work was done to limit the Movim processes memory consumption. The daemon and subprocesses are now using PHP Opcache to load and share only once lots of files that were previously loaded multiple time during the Movim runtime. PHP modules are also loaded using a predefined whitelist to limit the usage of useless modules in memory. DotEnv configuration The old configuration system has been moved to the DotEnv standard. This change merges all the previous configuration (database, daemon and paths) into an unique .env file. They can also be set using environment variable directly in your Docker Compose, or Web Server (using SetEnv in Apache for example). The official Movim Docker image was also updated to fit those changes. Migration from Movim 0.20 If you are planning to upgrade your current Movim instance please follow those few steps: Copy and rename the .env.example file in .env and complete the few configuration variables in it. They should be the same as the one you set in the previous db.inc.php file and your daemon parameters. Remove the db.inc.php file Remove all the daemon.php parameters from your init.d, systemd services or other scripts. The daemon launch command should look this way: $ php daemon.php start. ...and as always, don't forget to run the migrations (php composer.phar movim:migrate) and restart your daemon. XMPP Pubsub node security and restrictions Movim 0.21 is not trusting anymore posts, likes and comments that are not containing the explicit identifier (Jabber ID) of the publisher and therefore now rely on this part of the XEP-0060: Pubblish-Subscribe - 12.16 Associating Events and Payloads with the Generating Entity. All the existing likes and comments might be not counted anymore or seen as "Non trusted" ones. All the new published ones will be configured properly. Migration from Movim 0.20 On ejabberd You can update all the existing stored node configuration to force the new default configuration using the following SQL request. You might do a backup of your database before doing such changes: update pubsub_node_option set val = `publisher` where name = `itemreply` and val = `none` ...and load those changes without restarting ejabberd: $ ejabberdctl clear-cache On Prosody Ensure that you have the expose_publisher = true set in your configuration, see the related documentation. What's next? Movim 0.22 should include two big projects. OMEMO rewrite ? The cleanup, rewrite and refactoring of the OMEMO support that is quite buggy and not opmized. We are not promising anything on this side, OMEMO is always a complex beast to handle. Multi-part audio and video-conference feature The audio and video conferencing features were already introduced a few years ago in Movim. Some preparation work has been done in this 0.21 release to be able merge back the pop-up video-conference window inside the main window for the upcoming release. The multi-part audio and video-conference feature is also one of the main feature that miss in Movim and is requested quite often by our users. Let's see if Movim 0.22 finally include this long awaited #feature. Regarding the amount of work that need to be done regarding those features it might be possible that specific funding will be requested for it to free up enough time to work properly on their integration. Enjoy! A big thanks to the #Movim community that is growing more than ever. You can find us on our main support chatroom movim@conference.movim.eu. If you find issues or if you want to contribute to the project you can find everything on our Github page.

      Movim 0.20 - Skiff

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Saturday, 19 February, 2022 - 10:25 edit · 3 minutes

    I was used to #release a new version of #Movim twice a year. Skiff is an exception. One year of work was required to release the 20th major version of the project.

    The main reason is mostly based on the amount of work and adjustments required to integrate the main feature of this release: the support of end-to-end #encryption through the implementation of OMEMO.

    So let's dive in all the new exciting features that you will discover in this major release.

    OMEMO

    The technical part was already extensively covered by the dedicated article End to end encryption in Movim - OMEMO is (finally) there!.

    The user experience and flow is not very different than on other XMPP clients, if Movim detects that you can start an encrypted conversation with a contact a small lock icon will be displayed next to the chatbox. You can always choose to toggle it back to have a non-encrypted discussion.

    The new redesigned chatbox

    It is also possible to see all the encryption fingerprints in the Contact drawer under the dedicated "Fingerprints" tab. You can also enable and disable encryption to each fingerprint manually there. Movim is displaying the last message sent or received and the client linked to the fingerprint to help you with your configuration. But rest assured, those settings are only for those that wants to configure in detail their encryption levels.

    OMEMO Fingerprints

    End-to-end encryption is also available for group chats, the flow is exactly the same as for single contacts.

    There is some chances that you encounter encryption issues in some cases, even after a lot of debug and refactoring end-to-end encryption is a really complex beast that is difficult to handle. Feel free to open a ticket with all the details to reproduce the issue if you encounter one.

    I'd like to thank again NLNet for their help on this project ! With the funding I was able to free-up time to finally integrate end-to-end encryption in Movim.

    Posts

    A few changes were made regarding the posts and their integration within Movim.

    The post publication form was slightly redesigned and now allows several images, files or links to be attached. Linked to that change, post cards were also redesigned with a more compact design.

    Multiple attached pictures

    The public Communities and Blog pages now have the same 2-columns design as their private version. The displayed Communities and Contacts information are also now more compact.

    Two column design for the public pages

    The tags were redesigned and are now more clearly visible and navigable.

    Now design for the tags

    Chat

    The contacts and chatrooms drawers were redesigned and now include some really useful information. Pictures and links sent in conversations are now quickly available in dedicated tabs.

    Redesigned chat drawer

    Chat bubbles are now properly displaying quotes and support message styling.

    Chat bubble with styling

    A big refactoring was also done regarding how the edited messages are handled in Movim. This refactoring allowed messages to be edited in Group Chats and the support of several edits on a single message (which caused some weird message duplication bug).

    Chatrooms

    Chatrooms administrators can now manage affiliations and ban/unban users.

    Changing affiliation for a user

    You can now prioritize your most important chatrooms on top of the list with the pin feature.

    Pinned chatrooms

    ...and many other things

    The old Movim API code was fully removed. It had been left untouched for years and not really used nor up-to-date anymore.

    When you are in a chat conversation, the other chats counter is displayed on the back button.

    The internal picture library was rewritten and simplified, it now supports transparent avatars. All pictures are now compressed in WebP by default.

    Admins can now fully disable the registration feature. It is quite useful if you have a dedicated Movim setup and a specific separated flow to register your users (using an internal LDAP in a company or school for example).

    Plenty of new emojis were integrated with the support of Unicode 13.0.

    Movim is now a Progressive Web App

    Movim used to have some "native" apps, on desktop and Android. All those app are now deprecated and replaced by work that was done to make Movim a full Progressive Web App. From any browsers you can now install Movim as an app on your phone or desktop in a single click.

    Conclusion

    Lots of other small improvements and features were integrated in this release but not listed there, it's time for you to discover them. Enjoy this new version!

    That's all folks!

      Reply to chat messages, a new Movim feature coming soon!

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Sunday, 1 November, 2020 - 15:02 edit

    A new useful #feature has been merged into Movim today. It will also be part of the upcoming 0.19 #release.

    This change relies on the standard XEP-0201: Best Practices for Message Threads and allows you to #reply to a chat message using any XMPP account using Movim.

    You could already find such feature on other chat platforms like #Telegram or #WhatsApp, the flow is also quite similar: on supported messages, click on the reply button and a little preview will appear next to the chat box input, fill in your message, publish, et voilà !

    You can also navigate to the original message by clicking on the little preview (if this message is currently shown in the conversation).

    Reply to chat messages feature

    Enjoy :)

      Movim 0.18 – Oterma

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Sunday, 27 September, 2020 - 16:58 edit · 5 minutes

    It's been six months since the last #release, and for the 0.18 – Oterma one there's a lot to show!

    So let's dive in this list of exciting features and changes that you will find in this new release.

    Notifications

    0.18 is coming with quite some changes regarding how the notifications are handled and displayed within Movim. This also came with lots of bug fixes to ensure that the counters are up-to-date everywhere across the UI and between all the devices.

    One of the first notable changes you will find is how the global chat counter is behaving. This counter is now displaying the total number of unread discussions and not the total number of unread chat messages anymore.

    picture chat counter

    Related to this change, an update on the chatrooms bookmark specifications is now allowing you to save a per-chatroom notification configuration. With this new feature you'll be able to choose, for each chatroom, if you want to “always be notified” for each new messages, “only when you're mentioned”, or “never”.

    picture chatroom config

    Movim can now use sound to notify you of a new incoming message, if you allow it to (see the configuration panel).

    audio notif screenshot

    Stickers, drawing and emojis

    We also improved some existing chat features. Some work has been done by Christine Ho on the Draw widget. The drawn lines are now smoother, even on large resolution pictures. The feature has also been extended to allow you to draw on existing pictures you upload from your device.

    picture draw upload

    Christine Ho also improved the existing emoji picker to add useful search bar, you can find it when trying to add a reaction bellow a message.

    A new pack of fresh meme stickers was also added to the stickers panel.

    meme

    And finally, the Movim emojis support has been updated to Unicode 12.0, bringing a pack of new emojis in.

    emojis

    Video conferencing

    A big part of the time spent on this release was focused on the video-conference features. The related code was heavily reworked to ensure a smooth compatibility with the #Conversations Android client, it's still not perfect but works already quite well.

    This was especially because of the integration of XEP-0215: External Service Discovery in the project. Allowing the web browser to easily perform STUN/TURN discovery (it's a way to discover alternative routes on the Internet for the video and audio feeds to be streamed on) using the #XMPP server services.

    The call flow was also split to conveniently allow audio-only calls.

    And the screen-sharing feature was integrated on the video-side. Useful when you want to quickly show a document or a presentation during your call!

    The new videoconferencing features

    Video-conferencing is hard. For this release we made quite a lot of work to improve the user experience but we are still not totally satisfied with the result. Some more work will be needed in the upcoming releases to really deliver the best we can offer for that feature.

    And a many other things…

    Chat and chatrooms

    The interfaces between the chat and chatrooms (header bar, drawer menu) are now unified to display general information the same way. A little gallery was added which displays recently sent and received pictures.

    emojis

    The pictures handling in chat messages has been improved. Movim is now trying to resolve picture URLs, even if they were sent using a client that doesn't embed pictures in messages.

    The scrolling behavior in chat was greatly improved and simplified, a little "go to bottom" button was also added.

    scroll

    Movim now handles the XEP-0319: Last User Interaction and can therefore be more precise to tell you the last time your contacts were seen active.

    Post publication

    Movim was already automatically saving your draft posts while you were writing, but since this version it actually displays when a draft has been saved. The post publication panel was also slightly redesigned to be clearer and more accessible.

    publish form

    Performance

    On the technical side, a PresenceBuffer system was added to handle wave of presences coming from the network and mass insert them in the SQL DB. This reduces by a factor of 10 to 100 the number of requests that are done to the database during those "spikes" of incoming presences from the network. This little feature greatly improves logins speed and shortens the time it takes to join a new chatroom.

    Favicon

    The favico.js library, that was handling the little counter in the browser tab icons had been removed and rewritten using only vanilla JavaScript, keeping only the required bits which also made it way smaller. This was actually the last (external) JavaScript dependency coming with Movim.

    XMPP Authentication

    Regarding the authentication process, Movim now supports XEP-0368: SRV records for XMPP over TLS to directly connect to XMPP using an encrypted socket (better than the historical STARTTLS negociation system that is still used as a fallback mechanism). Regarding the IP resolution Movim now uses the Happy Eyeballs mechanism to resolve the server IP on IPv4 or IPv6.

    Android application

    Finally, the official Android app gained nice features thanks to the improved integration of Movim on your phone.

    The notification handler has been reworked to handle newer Android versions, conversations are now stacked properly.

    android notifs

    From any application you can now share a URL to Movim directly and publish it in a Post. In the future we are planning to add more sharing capabilities like this one (share to contacts or chatrooms for example).

    share

    Related to the video-conferencing improvements, audio and video calls are now launched in a separate task to allow you to switch back easily to your chat or publications while having your call. This makes it close to the experience you can already have on desktop.

    Finally some work was done in #Movim and on the Android app to improve the general performance, especially regarding the touch features and general responsiveness.

    To conclude…

    As always you can test all those features on our official pod, or deploy them in a few steps on your own server :)

    We always need some funding to help us promoting Movim and covering project costs, feel free to help on our Patreon.

    And stay tuned for the upcoming releases, it seems that there are some interesting features already planned ;)

    That's all folks!

      A 3in1 surprise! Movim 0.17.1, Movim Android 0.17.0.0 and Movim Account Panel

      Timothée Jaussoin · pubsub.movim.eu / Movim · Sunday, 22 March, 2020 - 15:19 edit · 2 minutes

    A bit more than a month after the #Movim 0.17.1 Catalina release I'm pleased to deliver two new releases and a new tool to all the movim.eu users. Let's dive in all those new exciting features.

    Movim 0.17.1

    This minor #release focuses on a few things. We could call it an "integration release". In fact most of the work done were to help with the new Debian package and for the new Android app release.

    Regarding the Debian package, I'd like to personally thanks Dominik George aka Natureshadow from Teckids e.V. and mirabilos for their continuous work on the dependency packaging, patches and general maintenance of the .deb. They were both added in this release on the Core Contributors page. Thanks!

    Upload widget improvements

    The #Upload #widget, that is used to upload files and pictures during the Posts and Messages publication has been redesigned. You can now drag and drop files from your explorer directly in the drop area. The picture visualization has also been improved and now display more information about it.

    Uploaded widget screen, uploaded using the upload feature, this is so META

    Integration with the new Movim Android release

    The Movim #Android app has not been updated for a while. This new release improves the integration experience one step further.

    In fact, the top bar is now transparent and integrates with the rest of the user interface. The pod switching button is not shown anymore during the startup process (that was slowing down the launch of the app) but directly in the navigation bar (you will need to upgrade both Movim and Movim Android to handle this feature). This allows Movim to launch in only a few seconds on a standard 4G connection.

    Movim now integrates even more within the Android UI

    On the Chat page, it is now possible to close the conversations using a simple drag-to-left movement. Similar to what you can find on Telegram for example.

    Movim Account Panel

    Last but not least, all the movim.eu #XMPP accounts have now access to a new panel. Available on api.movim.eu/accounts it allows some account wise configuration to complete some features unavailable client side.

    To authenticate a "one click link" mechanism has been added. Once your identifier entered this authentication link will be send directly by chat allowing you to access your Account Panel.

    Through this panel you'll be able to list all the existing files you ever uploaded using your XMPP account, in the future you'll be able to also delete them.

    Email to XMPP

    This Panel also contains an exclusive feature, the possibility to receive #emails on your XMPP account.

    This feature is only working one way, in fact it's our mascot, and now postwoman Miho that will take care of delivering the emails as chat messages directly to you. Please notice that the attachments are not forwarded and we are not applying any form of SPAM filtering on them. The emails are transferred as it in their textual version to you.

    That's all folks! And don't forget, to prevent the spread of the #COVID19, stays safe at home!
