BEEM - Android XMPP

Hello folks,

We are planning to release the 0.1.7 version next week. It will contain principally OTR and certificate validation, and of course some bug fix.

The complete list of related tickets :
Bug #285: Unable to make DNS SRV resolution
Bug #352: beem 0.1.5 crash in eclipse
Bug #353: changestatus causes segfault
Bug #365: Otr always displays the local fingerprint
Bug #366: Error while saving Capabilities
Feature #239: Add OTR for secure communication
Feature #253: Deal with strict certificate checking
Feature #319: Use smartphone led for incoming message notification

For the next release, we are planning to rewrite the account support and make a better reconnection handling.
It means some big rewrite so we are discussing about if we will switch to a 0.2.X branch or if we will try to push incrementally to the current trunk some big patchs.

Side notes:
• We have a developement branch for the new account code http://www.beem-project.com/hg/account/
• Marseille has done most of the work on the new account branch, if you have questions on it, ask him
• Beem 0.1.7 is the last version being compatible with android 1.X, our next release will require android 2.X
• During a server migration we lost our mailman databases, please subscribe back to our mailing list if you want to stay in touch
• Contributions are welcome, but, don't hesitate to discuss with us what you could do and how to do it.

Cheers,
Beem team
