This add the final list of settings in the main setting window as a new page notifications as there are quite a few now. This completes previous work on push rules giving the ability to set the default global rules. Adding keyword rules is also now supported. This also uses the new mobileform layout. The settings are designed to give some visual feedback as options for whether notifications are on/off, play a sound or are highlighted are chosen. The left icon is designed to mimic the notification dot in the roomlist. The whole mobileform delegate can also be clicked to cycle through the available options. The rationale for whether an option is available is as follows: - Highlight is not available if would lead to every message in a room being highlighted - Keyword notifications cannot be switched off instead the rule is just deleted - Only keyword rules can be deleted, default rules cannot be touched There is also rules plumbed in for features that don't exist in neochat yet, i.e. encrypted chats and rooms, calls. I figured I may as well plumb these in and test them my plan was to hide them before merge, they can then be unhidden when the features are complete. 
NeoChat
NeoChat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant messaging. It is a fork of Spectral, using KDE frameworks, most notably Kirigami, KConfig and KI18n.
Get it
A stable release is available for download for Linux distributions.
Along with the stable release, a Flatpak version is available for the nightly version:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo
flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.neochat
A nightly build is also available for Android in the KDE nightly F-Droid repo and can also directly be downloaded from the binary factory.
Nightly builds for Windows, MacOS and AppImages can also be downloaded from the binary factory.
Features
- Sending messages
- Sending files from clipboard and filesystem
- Reply to message (right-click on a message to access menu)
- Start a private chat (but not encrypted)
- Show notifications, for the moment there is only a global switch to disable it. We plan to implement the configuration part of the specification soon.
- Autocompletion of usernames in chat
- Emoji picker
- Basic room setting page
- Send and accept invitations
- /rainbow (very important)
- /me
NeoChat is still missing a few features to become a full-featured Matrix client (most notably encryption support and video chat support). We welcome contributions in this direction.
