NeoChat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant messaging. It allows you to send text messages, videos and audio files to your family, colleagues and friends. It uses KDE frameworks and most notably Kirigami to provide a convergent experience across multiple platforms.

NeoChat er ein klient for Matrix, ein protokoll for desentralisert kommunikasjon. Du kan utveksla tekst, lyd og videoar med kollegaar, vennar og familie. Programmet brukar KDE Frameworks og Kirigami for å gje ei brukarflate tilpassa ulike plattformer.

NeoChat aims to be a fully featured application for the Matrix specification. As such everything in the current stable specification with the notable exceptions of VoIP, threads and some aspects of End-to-End Encryption are supported. There are a few other smaller omissions due to the fact that the Matrix spec is constantly evolving but the aim remains to provide eventual support for the entire spec.

NeoChat har som mål å støtta all funksjonalitet i Matrix-spesifikasjonen. Førebels er alt i den gjeldande stabile spesifikasjonen støtta, med unntak av VoIP, trådar og nokre delar av ende-til-kryptering. Det finst òg andre småting som ikkje er støtta, sidan Matrix-spesifikasjon er i stadig endring, men målet er altså støtte for alt.

Due to the nature of the Matrix specification development NeoChat also supports numerous unstable features. Currently these are:

På grunn av måten Matrix-spesifikasjonen vert utvikla på, støttar NeoChat òg nokre uferdige funksjonar:

Apart from a visual overhaul, NeoChat can now display location events and also a map with the location of all the users currently broadcasting their location using Itineray's Matrix integration. Great for locating where your friends are.

NeoChat improves its design with tweaks that provide a more compact layout and a simpler menu which works better for the collapsed room list.

We have also improved the video controls, added a new command /knock <room-id> to send a knock event to a room, and you can now edit a prior message inline, within the chat pane.

Other usability improvements include an overhaul of the keyboard navigation and shortcuts like Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn that allow you to skip from room to room.

NeoChat 1.2 brings a major redesign of the user interface. The chat page is now using bubbles for the messages and the input component was completely rewritten with a nicer look as well.

Probably the highlight of this release is the completely new login page. It detects the server configuration based on your Matrix Id. This allows you to login to servers requiring Single Sign On (SSO) (like the Mozilla or the incoming Fedora Matrix instance).

Servers that require agreeing to the TOS before usage are correctly detected now and redirect to their TOS webpage, allowing the user to agree to them instead of silently failing to load the account.

It is now possible to open a room into a new window. This allows you to view and interact with multiple rooms at the same time.

We added a few commands to NeoChat (/shrug, /lenny, /join, /ignore, ...).

We improved the Plasma integration a bit. Now the number of unread messages is displayed in the Plasma Taskbar.
