	Development News April 2020
	This month’s development revolved around polishing Gajim for the upcoming Beta of Gajim 1.2. Almost a year after the last release, a fresh beta is just around the corner. During April, we also implemented multi-account improvements and fixed some nasty bugs.
	Changes in Gajim
	Gajim has been offering multi-account support for quite a while now. If you set up more than one account, Gajim has to offer a way to distinguish one account from another, so that you know which account you’re using for the current chat. You can give your accounts custom names or, if you don’t, we have to display your account’s XMPP address somewhere. In order to give you a quick and easy way to see which account is being used, Gajim now offers a color for each of your accounts. As soon as you enable more than one account, you’ll see a colorized Gajim icon in some places (e.g. Start Chat, Chat banner of each chat window). Account colors are being generated using Consistent Color Generation ([XEP-0392](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0392.html)), which enables Gajim to generate the same color for your account on any system. A tooltip will help you remind which color is being used for which account. If you don’t like the color Gajim generated, you can of course select another one.
	During this month, we tried to finish up on many projects started since the release of Gajim 1.1.3. This includes bug fixing for newly introduced features as well as polishing rethought workflows (e.g. group chat handling). It shouldn’t be long until the beta of Gajim 1.2 arrives.
	What else happened
	Windows: don’t store passwords in the system’s keyring if started in portable mode
	Windows: redesigned notifications
	unified the colors used for status (now also configurable)
	added an invite button for group chats
	improvements for transport handling (IRC, etc.)
	updated app icon for Gajim Nightly
	better performance for the new group chat invite page
	Message Archive Management, Message Delivery Receipts, and Presence improvements
	fixed a nasty bug where history messages from multiple accounts have been mixed together ([#9619](https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/9619))
	Plugin updates
	Gajim offers a Message Length Notifier plugin for people using gateways for services with limited character count (like Twitter or SMS). This plugin highlights the message input if a specified character count is exceeded. This month, the plugin has been completely reworked.
	Using the Quick Replies plugin, you can answer your contacts even if you’re very busy. With the reworked plugin, you can set an infinite number of custom quick replies.
	Changes in python-nbxmpp
	python-nbxmpp now makes use of [IDNA2008](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name) for domain validation.
	Gajim 1.5.4 has been released
	Gajim 1.5.4
	Gajim 1.5.4 comes with a reworked file transfer interface, better URL detection, message selection improvements, and many fixes under the hood. Thank you for all your contributions!
	Gajim's interface for sending files has been reworked, and should be much easier to use now. For each file you're about to send, Gajim will generate a preview. This way, you can avoid sending the wrong file to somebody. Regardless of how you start a file transfer, be it drag and drop, pasting a screen shot, or simply clicking the share button, you'll always be able to check what you're about to send.

	Support for Jingle XTLS has been dropped, since it hasn't been standardized

	Dependencies: pyOpenSSL has been replaced by python-cryptography
	Fixes for message selection
	Improvements for recognizing URLs ([@mjk](https://dev.gajim.org/mjk))
