Gajim: Gajim 1.6.0
For Gajim 1.6.0 we ported Gajim’s and python-nbxmpp’s underlying HTTP library to libsoup3. Also, audio previews now look nicer and allow for more control (playback speed, jumping). We fixed emoji rendering on MacOS and we implemented many fixes under the hood. Thank you for all your contributions!

For all HTTP requests (e.g. file downloads, update checks, websocket connection, …) both Gajim and python-nbxmpp rely on libsoup. With Gajim 1.6.0, we ported to libsoup3. You shou … ⌘ Read more

Ignite Realtime Blog: Spark 3.0.1 Released
The Ignite Realtime community is happy to announce the release of Spark 3.0.1 version.

This release contains mostly fixes. macOS now uses the default FlatLaf LaF. The user can also choose the type of tabs “scroll” as in Spark 3.0.0 or “wrap” as in Spark 2.X. See screenshot below. And also for some users, Spark not saved history.

Image

Here is an example of usage:

func Example() {
	pass := "my_pass"
	hash := "my_pass"

	pwd := passwd.New(
		&unix.MD5{}, // first is preferred type.
		&plainPasswd{},
	)

	_, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, hash)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("fail: ", err)
	}

	// Check if we want to update.
	if !pwd.IsPreferred(hash) {
		newHash, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, "")
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println("fail: ", err)
		}

		fmt.Println("new hash:", newHash)
	}

	// Output:
	//  new hash: $1$81ed91e1131a3a5a50d8a68e8ef85fa0
}

This shows how one would set a preferred hashing type and if the current version of ones password is not the preferred type updates it to enhance the security of the hashed password when someone logs in.
