Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.1
This is mostly a bugfix release over version 1.9.0.
The main fix is the rust JID implementation that would behave incorrectly when
hashed if the JID contained non-ascii characters. This is an important issue as
using a non-ascii JID was mostly broken, and interacting with one failed in
interesting ways.
- The previously mentioned JID hash issue
- Various edge cases in the roster code
- One edge case in the MUC ( [XEP-0045](https: … ⌘ Read more

Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.0
It has not been too long since 1.8.6 and here we are with 1.9.0, which is kind of a major release (following the well-known pridever numbering scheme).
Long story short, there are at least two major changes warranting the new number (and plenty of other things, read on!):
- switching the cython jid implementation for a rust one, which will be faster and more correct
- removing the xmpp.process() method (planned since the 1.8.0 release)

To me it appeared that the failed attempts to ban NPD in the past actually helped them gain more supporters.
What makes AfD stronger for sure is just going “lol nah we’re not even going to try”:

If they don’t try, then it means that “it can’t be that bad, it’s just a normal party”, right? 😡

Mathieu Pasquet: XMPP Summit 27 and FOSDEM 25 Report
Here is an account of my trip to FOSDEM & XMPP Summit this year.
Note: for privacy reasons on the broader internet, I am keeping names out of
my description of the events, but my goal here is not to diminish anyone’s merit.
I use a bit of acronyms and jargon in this article because it talks about technical things,
so I will define them here:
