Gajim 1.3.0 has been released
Gajim 1.3.0
**Five months have passed since the release of Gajim 1.2.2. Many new features have been developed during this time, including a complete redesign of both Gajim’s Preferences window and configuration backend, an all new Profile window, support for Chat Markers, a new user interface for voice/video calls, and much more.**
Preferences
A huge amount of code has been cleaned up around Gajim’s configuration backend. This was necessary in order to move from a configuration based on text files to a new settings backend powered by SQLite. Gajim is now able to store settings efficiently, and some quirks around default values have been solved. After all these changes under the hood, it was time to redesign the Preferences window. The redesign enables us to display settings in a tidy and clear fashion, which should make it easier for you to handle all of Gajim’s configuration possibilities.
Gajim’s Notification settings for event handling have been split up. You can now decide if you want notifications to be shown in general, and if you want new messages to be opened directly (without a notification icon in the contact list). All settings around sending Chat States (e.g. 'Composing…') have been moved from the Preferences window to the Accounts window, completing the migration of account-related settings. Gajim uses a 'Sync Threshold' setting to decide how many messages should be synchronized when joining a chat. If you set a custom Sync Threshold previously, please make sure to check the setting after upgrading Gajim, since it could *not* be migrated.

Chat Markers
Profile
Gajim’s Profile window received a complete rework. This includes a new backend using up to date standards ([XEP-0292](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0292.html) vCard4 Over XMPP), as well as a completely rewritten dialog for displaying and editing [vCards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard).
A big advantage over the old Profile window is that you can add (almost all) elements more than once. For example, you can add an email address for your workplace, and additionally a private one. Or multiple organizations, or even more PGP keys, ... All these elements are added dynamically, there is no static user interface here.
Selecting your own profile picture is much more fun if you can crop it directly using integrated tools. This is now possible using the new picture selector, which enables you to select the detail you want to show, using a fixed aspect ratio.

Group Chat Invitations
Receiving a group chat invitation can sometimes be ambiguous. '*Do I really want to join this chat, or should I decline the invitation?*' In order for you to make an informed decision, Gajim now shows some information about the chat (group chat’s picture, name, and description) before joining. Furthermore, many people want to join public group chats using a different nickname from the one they use for private group chats. Gajim now offers to choose a nickname directly before joining.

Audio & Video
Last but not least, there have been some improvements to Voice/Video calling. Gajim has had support for Voice/Video calls for quite some time, but the code has also been broken for a while now, because it is not actively maintained. We took some first steps (friendlier user interface, basic audio/video transmission), but these are highly experimental. Also, this feature is based on older standards, which makes it *incompatible* with Conversations for the time being (for example missing support for [XEP-0320](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0320.html)).
Plugin Updates
Gajim’s URL Image Preview is now able to preview audio files
The Syntax Highlighter plugin now features a 'Paste as Code'/'Paste as Code Block' entry for the chat input
It is now possible to install the 'Ayatana Appindicator integration' plugin via Flatpak
Setting for automatic history cleanup
Chat-specific 'Group Chat Settings' page
'Mark as Read' button for message notifications
'Send Message' button in chat windows
