Call for testing - Kaidan 0.6.0 for Focal/Noble.
-
Hey all, as you know I went through (with lots of help) and updated tons of apps from Xenial to Focal, and then moved most of those on to Noble.
One of the apps that I really wanted to update was Kaidan, the xmpp messaging click. It was too big of a project for me when I started, and maybe still is now, but I have a fully working click now, and was wondering if some folks would like to test it.
This app is built for Focal, but I have been using it on Noble daily. Need focal testers and noble testers. The original app stopped at Kaidan 0.4.2, and I have upgraded it to Kaidan 0.6.0, which is the last version to support QT5.12.
All functions work for me, I added content hub, some lomiri things, and got some great keyboard help as well. I hope to start work now on a Noble version with the higher QT and Kaidan with Omemo, because Kaidan 0.6.0 does not support Omemo encryption.
Hope to do a thourough test for a week, please pm/dm me or respond here. Screenshots or logs welcome. Please scrub private information if desired.

@alaskalinuxuser very nice, thanks a lot. xmpp is still an interesting alternative. works on FP4 noble, just did send you a test message.

I've just tried your click on 24.04-1.2 on a Fairphone4 and it works well thanks!
The content hub is a great feature and I was able to send and receive pictures.
I've installed the Malakiboard with the Ambot Installer and reduced the height of my keyboard and it seems there's some space wasted when keyboard is shown on Kaidan (see screenshot below). I don't know if there's a way with Lomiri to know the current keyboard height to adapt the UI correctly. Anyway this is a minor bug.
