I just built dino from master branch (gtk 4 version with muc mam/group history support) and tow patches https://github.com/dino/dino/pull/1276 (makes it adaptive with libadwaita) and https://github.com/dino/dino/pull/1309 (fixes key sharing/encryption in groups with people not in contacts). Though I had to move up to mobian (bookworm) as gtk 4 version in byzantium is older than what dino expects. If anyone is interested to try, I can share the debs.

Yes please, please share!!!
I have uploaded the debs in my personal repo. You can use https://people.debian.org/~praveen/dino/dino-bookworm-arm64.sources (you’ll need mobian/bookworm).

I’m using the flatpak version from https://github.com/flathub/im.dino.Dino/pull/5 and 0.4 version of dino is available there. And this version fixes omemo encryption key sharing permissions and includes official support for libadwaita. muc mam, reply and reactions/emoji too.

Thanks for the update. Can you make calls with it and does it make your phone ring?
Thanks! I was able to install the bump 0.4.1 version but can’t seem to get the thing running. Was there some trick to that? Also shouldn’t application populate into the phosh application launcher?
There is also another way to run dino 0.4 on byzantium https://mov.im/?blog/debacle%40movim.eu/de5caf65-112e-4c75-b6ae-a3cdbac92ce1# and @joao.azevedo confirmed this on librem 5 matrix group.

If Chatty should be XMPP capable, what is the sense for Purism to spend time and effort on other clients like Dino?
Chatty did not work real well for me with XMPP. I stopped trying, though, maybe 6 months ago.

Right on. Agreed.
Because Chatty does not a dedicated xmpp client so low xmpp features.
Dino it is a fancy dedicated xmpp client so high features, then Purism ship already gtk4.6 for some gnu packages but newer Dino versio v4 it need gtk.4.8 to work good for some windows, so only one packages version it missing, because Purism Libhandy v2.2 " libadwaita whatever : ( " it there compatible.

Thank you! I think i’ll just wait.needing a chroot is a bit much when dino 3 is working really well for me thus far.
Thanks again. So getting your flatpak to work isn’t in the cards for now?
Right on. I agree.
If I have to take a side, I would probably err on whatever is “easy” and most time-effective/cost-effective for Purism. Only so many hands on deck, etc.
I have the issue that dino did not work on the Librem5 well. It is used to render the Desktop Client and did not fit on the small screen. And i think i have the issue that i do not understand how to share one OMEMO Key between the Contacts and and separate devices.
However, XMPP had the catch line in the past to read parallel on your Desktop your Mobile and your Laptop your Working Office and your Android. Which did not share the OMEMO encryption wtf!? So i know why Whatsapp and Signal try to use the Phone number and allow just a Desktop Version for (one?) additional Web-Devices/Client(s). This is some kind of nightmare and i just add “X-Desktop” or “X-Librem5”) to the name of that different OMEMO encrypted Device. It will be a relieve of complexity.
I can’t use Chatty without encryption.
For the record, Dino has been updated in byzantium to version 0.4.2 recently.
