Now lastEvent() return the last event and lastActiveTime() and lastEventToString() are convenient functions to get the visual representation and the timestamp. We are also now fetching new events when the timeline is empty so that we can correctly order the rooms. In the future, we should instead probably cache the last event in an SQLite database to optimize the startup time. This also ignore state event when the configuration ask to ignore them. Fix: #97
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
There is no stable release for now, but 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 nigthly build is also available for Android in the KDE nightly F-Droid repo and can also directly 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.
