This will hide the content when a user ignores and re show it if unignored in the same session. Note: If the client is restarted the rely will be blanked as the server refuses to send the message. However if unignoring a restart is currently required to get the full timeline back. This can't be trivially fixed as it takes a bit of time for the server to deal with the unblock and allow the message to be downloaded. With no signals available to jump off we'd just have to poll the endpoint which considering this is not going to happen often seems like a bad idea for minimal gain. Closes network/neochat#657
NeoChat
A Qt/QML based Matrix client.
Introduction
NeoChat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant messaging.
NeoChat is based on KDE frameworks and as libQuotient, a Qt-based SDK for the Matrix Protocol.
Features
NeoChat aims to be a fully featured application for the Matrix specification. As such most parts of the current specification are supported, with the notable exceptions of VoIP, threads, and some aspects of End-to-End Encryption. 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.
Due to the nature of the Matrix specification development NeoChat also supports numerous unstable features. Currently these are:
- Polls - MSC3381
- Sticker Packs - MSC2545
- Location Events - MSC3488
Get it
Details where to find stable releases for NeoChat can be found on its homepage.
Nightly builds for Linux and Windows can be downloaded from cdn.kde.org. Nightly builds for Android are available from KDE's nightly F-Droid repository. Nightly Flatpaks are available from KDE's nightly Flatpak repository.
Building NeoChat
The best way to build KDE apps during development is to use kdesrc-build. The full instructions for this can be found on
the KDE community website's get involved section under development. This
is primarily aimed at Linux development.
For Windows and Android Craft is the primary choice. There are guides for setting up development environments for Windows and Android.
Running
Just start the executable in your preferred way - either from the build directory or from the installed location.
Tests
Tests are in the repository under autotests and appiumtests.
The project has CI setup to test new commits to the repository. All tests are expected to pass for a merge request to be complete.
Current build status
Currently the number of tests is limited, but growing. If anyone wants to help improve this, those contributions would be especially welcome.
Contributing
As is the case throughout the KDE ecosystem contributions are welcome from all. The code base is managed in the NeoChat repository of the KDE Gitlab instance.
Contact
The best place to reach the maintainers is on the KDE Matrix instance in the NeoChat channel, #neochat:kde.org. See Matrix for more details.
