Hi all! I’m sorry for this message; Beagle is stuck with some unread messages, and the only way to remove the unread notification is to send or receive a new message.

:-) I think there is a second solution,.. called GNU/Linux :-D

Hello everyone!

Since the pad still had the info for the August released, I just went ahead and wipe it clean so we can start adding the news for the September issue

I saved a local copy of what was in there just in case there are any objections.

Also, added: [Snikket](https://snikket.org/) is pleased to announce a new stable release of the [Snikket server stable.20240904 ](https://snikket.org/updates/release/20240904/) software, For an introduction to the new changes, check out the [release announcement blog post](https://snikket.org/blog/snikket-server-sept-2024-release/).

Under Servers

gnemmi: perfect, thanks

I see the term "Circle" in the article, is it actually Roster Groups ? ↺

edhelas, sorry, I fail to see what you are referring to 🙁

https://snikket.org/blog/snikket-server-sept-2024-release/snikket-invitation-comment.png

Got it

idk .. but it seems pretty reasonable to understand that it seems to be referring a "Roster Group" indeed ..

Could be something to add to https://docs.modernxmpp.org/terminology/

Specially given the context in which it is being used

A circle is a unique snikket feature

?

It's a server managed group where everyone gets put in everyone else's roster

I see

" after creating a few invitation links and sending them out, they would forget who each link was created for and why"

The "who" necessarily has to be someone in your Roster ..

no

not in Snikket at least

singpolyma, yes .. I thought about that a split second after pressing the return key over here

singpolyma, Also: I just found out that I didn't know about *cheogram-android 2.15.3-4* so I didn't add it on the August newsletter and I personally feel awefully sorry about that ..

I mean I guess I also forgot to drop it here 🙂

would you please kick me in the arse the on your next release?? *Pretty Plase*?

edhelas, https://snikket.org/service/help/features/circles/ (unusual MUC to ask this question in 🙂)

singpolyma, I just figured out how to fix it! Just give me a few seconds

- [Cheogram 2.15.3-4+free](https://git.sr.ht/~singpolyma/cheogram-android/refs/2.15.3-4) latest release for Android is now available for download on F-Droid !.

done! F-Droid published it on Added on Sep 06, 2024 .. so

worst case scenario: emus may kill me .. or just (and hopefully) take a deep breath and delete the entry 🙂

> worst case scenario: emus may kill me .. or just (and hopefully) take a deep breath and delete the entry 🙂 What are you refering to? ↺

emus, I'm refering to the fact that there was a Cheogram release last month ( august 28 ) and we missed it. But .. I just got the news about it from the F-Droid web site, that added said Cheogram release on Sep 06, 2024 .. So, basically, we missed to mention a Cheogram release on the XMPP Newsletter for August, But .. we may stil slip it on the September Newsletter because that was when the latest version was added to F-Droid and made available to the public

There is also no missing, we do try to check, but effectively w are an aggregator that projects should also reach out and commit their releasea and posts. we cannot reflect the entire universe of xmpp ↺

I've already added it to the pad for the september release of the XMPP Newsletter 😀

> is it only fdroid? singpolyma, ? ↺

emus, I've only seen in on F-Droid

It's on play store also

emus, it's also available on the Google Play Store .. and they have it listed as having it's last release on august 28 .. but, at least afaik, no body gets it from the play store ... because, well, you have to pay for it, whereas it is free to download from F-Droid

ok, I'll see what I can do

🤔

Maybe something like this?

- [Cheogram](https://cheogram.com/) has released version [2.15.3-4+free (4205303)](https://git.sr.ht/~singpolyma/cheogram-android/refs/2.15.3-4) for Android.
