The upcoming version of monocles chat will introduce several enhancements, including support for XEP-0118, enabling you to optionally share the music you're currently listening to with your contacts.
This feature enhances social interaction by allowing users to discover new music, share their tastes, and connect over shared interests, fostering a more engaging and collaborative experience within the app.
A big thank you to the developer who contributed to this feature!

@Polychrome From the archive the APKs are F-droid signed so the F-droid update will keep update tracking.
Only the Codeberg version is different. Because we can't sign with the F-droid key, it can only be installed manually and separately.

@Polychrome Thanks,
it's available in the archive https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/de.monocles.chat?repo=archive

@Polychrome Hi, could you try to import in 1.7.11 and then update or try the latest testing version? This would help to find the issue

@cadusilva Which ciphers do you use on your XMPP server? For security reasons monocles chat and the monocles servers are restricted to the newest only.

@cadusilva Hi Cadu Silva! Could be your mobile data provider the problem? Is both IPv4 and IPv6 correctly configured on the server?

Also feel free to join our support chat room:

@Suiseiseki Thanks for the hint! We'll build the next updates with open building tools!

@silmathoron Hi, thanks for your feedback! Yes, the Signal sticker import is already known. It may come from a changed API. We'll try to work on it as soon as possible.
Currently only some XMPP clients support stickers. Hopefully more will follow.

@Polychrome @eversten
Yes, in version 1.8 :)
