Gajim: Gajim 1.7.0
Gajim 1.7.0 is mostly a bug fixing release. Due to fundamental changes in the build system, we decided to jump from 1.6.x to 1.7 directly. Thank you for all your contributions!
Gajim’s build system had significant changes, which makes it necessary for package maintainers to change some things, as documented in the readme file.

My motivation to work on GoBlog isn’t always the same. Sometimes I don’t feel like programming in my free time, so the most I do is some bug fixing when I find broken things. Sometimes I just have no time to work on new features or improvements. But since yesterday evening I feel a new push and have completely rewritten the plugin system to make it much more flexible (and I like flexibility). I had to break compatibility with existing plugins, but given the small user base and the limited scope of what plugins could … ⌘ Read more

Ah git-bug! Ive chatted with the creator when he was working on the graphql parts. Its working with git objects directly sorta like how git-repo does code reviews.

I have found the issue with this very subtle bug.. the cache was returning a slice that would be mutated. The mutation involved appending an item and then sorting. because the returned slice is just a pointer+length the sort would modify the same memory.
CACHE Returned slice
original: [A B C D] [A B C D]
add: [A B C D] E [A B C D E]
sort: [E A B C] D [A B C D E]
