- Update to version 0.7.2: 
- Highlights
  * Reactions
    - React to a message with an emoji! tada
    - Reactions are shown below a message in a small bubble 
      with a counter.
    - By clicking on that, others can add to the reaction count.
    - It may help you celebrating a new Nheko Release or react 
      with a -1 to a failed build to express your frustration.
    - This uses a new emoji picker. The picker will be improved 
      in the near future (better scrolling, sections, favorites, 
      recently used or similar) and then probably replace the 
      current picker.
  * Support for tagging rooms [tag]
    - Assign custom tags to rooms from the context menu in the 
      room list.
    - This allows filtering rooms via the group list. This puts 
      you in a focus mode showing only the selected tags.
    - You can assign multiple tags to group rooms however 
      you like.
  * SSO Login
    - With this you can now login on servers, that only 
      provide SSO.
    - Just enter any mxid on the server. Nheko will figure out 
      that you need to use SSO and redirect your browser 
      to the login page.
    - Complete the login in your browser and Nheko should 
      automatically log you in.
  * Presence
    - Shows online status of the people you are talking to.
    - You can define a custom status message to tell others what 
      you are currently up to.
    - The status message appears next to the usernames 
      in the timeline.
    - Your server needs to have presence enabled for 
      this to work.
- Features
  * Respect exif rotation of images
  * An italian translation
  * Optional alerts in your taskbar
  * Optional bigger emoji only messages in the timeline
  * Optional hover feedback on messages
  * /roomnick to change your displayname in a single room.
  * Preliminary support for showing inline images.
  * Warn about unencrypted messages in encrypted rooms.
- Improvements
  * perf: Use less CPU to sort the room list.
  * Limit size of replies. This currently looks a bit rough, 
    but should improve in the future with a gradient or at 
    some other transition.
  * perf: Only clean out old messages from the database 
    every 500 syncs. (There is usually more than one sync every second)
  * Improve the login and register masks a bit with hints and validation.
  * Descriptions for settings
  * A visual indicator, that nheko is fetching messages 
    and improved scrolling
- Bugfixes
  * Fix not being able to join rooms
  * Fix scale factor setting
  * Buildfixes against gcc10 and Qt5.15 (missing includes)
  * Settings now apply immediately again after changing them 
    (only exception should be the scale factor)
  * Join messages should never have empty texts now
  * Timeline should now fail to render less often on platforms 
    with native sibling windows.
  * Don't rescale images on every frame on highdpi screens.

As noted in nheko's bug tracker (https://github.com/mujx/nheko/issues/344) multi-core builds can consume a lot of RAM (as seen in the failure for TW i586 as well). Perhaps it might be worth to either scale them down or use _constraints.

Thank you, as I missed this moment, the problem was observed everywhere, the compilation stopped randomly anywhere, but like such a problem is not observed


Oliver Kurz's avatar

@Dead_Mozay did you see the build failures on at least openSUSE Leap 15.0? They seem to be reproducible.


Dead Mozay's avatar

Yes I see, spdlog version should be no lower 1.0.0, in Leap 0.16.3


Oliver Kurz's avatar

current build failures on Leap 15.0/15.1 seem to be due to a too old cmake version. I guess we should either disable the build for Leap or create a specific subproject for Leap 15 providing the missing dependencies (updated cmake version). WDYT?


Dead Mozay's avatar

I would prefer to have a version for leap, but how best to make this decision is yours, I am not against a separate subproject, at the moment 2 updated packages are required, cmake and spdlog


Oliver Kurz's avatar

Hi, I have disabled the build for the (last) repo "openSUSE_Tumbleweed" as the package currently does not build.


Dead Mozay's avatar

Hi, yes, I myself noticed yesterday, but have not yet looked why, as I fix it, I'll let you know


Krisztián Szegi's avatar

Hi!

Two things I'd like to mention/ask: - Maybe there is no real gain, but could you mention this repo on nheko-s github page? Other distros have instructions for install. - There is a new big release in RC phase. When would it land - when it is not a candidate anymore? It is quite a big and needed release, as you all know most probably.

And last: thanks for the build! My KDE desktop is much more complete with this! Don't want another crappy repurposed browser on my system tray, like all the other stuff these days...


Krisztián Szegi's avatar

Hi again!

nheko cannot be installed currently (since about two weeks) from this repo as: - "nothing provides libmatrix_client.so.0.3.0()(64bit) needed by nheko-v0.7.1+20200423.14ce840-3.29.x86_64"

This repo ship libmatrix_client version 0.3.1+0-1.1 If I chose to break the dependency (and install the newer one from the repo) than nheko cannot start, as it does not load newer libmatrix than 0.3.0: "error while loading shared libraries: libmatrix_client.so.0.3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Could you be kind enough to build the nheko with updated deps, as the repo is inconsistent and unusable this way?


Oliver Kurz's avatar

@Samonitari OBS automatically takes care to build packages with updated deps. The problem is that the build currently fails. Unfortunately no one could provide a fix for now. I will for now disable the build of the package as it fails anyway.


Luca Beltrame's avatar

Now that 0.8.0 is out, it might be worth pushing this to TW along with mtxclient.


Dead Mozay's avatar

In addition to mtxclient, other libraries are also needed, neither mtxclient nor nheko itself are ready yet, they have some problems, they may be fixed in the next releases, but not yet

Can't install nheko on Leap 15.4

zypper in nheko

Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: nothing provides 'libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.34)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed nheko-0.10.0-1.8.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install nheko-0.10.0-1.8.x86_64
 Solution 2: break nheko-0.10.0-1.8.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Dead Mozay's avatar

Update the metadata before installing, just checked, there is no such error


Dura-Kovács's avatar

I accidentally added the TW repo instead of Leap 15.4. My bad, thanks for the reply.

Hi! nheko cannot be installed on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, e.g. from https://software.opensuse.org/ymp/network:messaging:matrix/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/nheko.ymp?base=openSUSE%3AFactory&query=nheko

Problem: nichts stellt 'libspdlog.so.1.11()(64bit)' bereit, das vom zu installierenden nheko-0.11.3-1.9.x86_64 benötigt wird
 Lösung 1: nheko-0.11.3-1.9.x86_64 nicht installieren
 Lösung 2: nheko-0.11.3-1.9.x86_64 durch Ignorieren einiger Abhängigkeiten brechen

Could you please have a look?


Loren Burkholder's avatar

It seems that this is a problem with more than just nheko; I've heard from other people that an unrelated package on Leap is having the same issue. I'm guessing there was a problem with a repository update.


Bunte Katze's avatar

Just a coincidence then. Thank you for your response! I'll try again on another day.


Dead Mozay's avatar

Someone disabled package building, check


Oliver Kurz's avatar

that was likely me. I extended the description with the build failure. Seems you fixed and re-enabled the project now. I updated the description.


Oliver Kurz's avatar

Disabled the build due to reproducing issue
