The “Ironically, downforeveryoneorjustme.com is down.” release. This is
the start of a glorious new stable series of Gabble!

tarball: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.14.0.tar.gz
signature: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.14.0.tar.gz.asc
git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/telepathy/telepathy-gabble

Major changes since 0.12.x which might disrupt your life:

• Gabble implements the new Room, Subject and RoomConfig interfaces, and
  no longer supports the old, crummy Telepathy.Properties interface.

• Gabble no longer supports the legacy Presence interace.

• require-encryption is now enabled by default.

• The plugin API has been extended; plugins for 0.12.x may need updating
  to compile and run with 0.14.x.

Enhancements since 0.13.7:

• It's now possible to install Gabble's test suite. (albanc)

• fd.o#41417: when connected to Facebook, text channels now produce
  'accepted' delivery reports when the user sends a message to a contact
  using another device. (wjt)

Fixes since 0.13.7:

• Compile against unstable GLib, where including glib/gtypes.h directly
  (instead of glib.h) is forbidden. (cosimoc)

• Correct type mismatches for timestamps in muc-channel.c, which lead to
  Gabble not compiling correctly on 32-bit. (danni)

• fd.o#41743: Offline contacts to whom we have a presence subscription
  and also a channel open at the time the roster arrives are now
  correctly shown as offline, rather than unknown. (wjt)

• fd.o#42281: Actually implement the ContactBlocking interface.
  (cassidy)

• fd.o#42186: Gabble no longer crashes if the server replies to its
  roster query IQ twice (as vk.com's XMPP server does). (wjt)

• Various memory leak fixes. (andrunko)

• Gabble now returns MAXINT64 for the subject timestamp when it is
  unknown, as per the latest spec. (danni)

Happy Monday,
