We are really proud to announce jsxc and jsxc.owncloud 3.0 after 2 beta releases and 7 months after 2.1.
- Responsive Design: The most visible change is the new responsive design, which we could implement with the help of Jan at the ownCloud Contributor Conference.
- Internal XMPP Server: In Berlin, we also started a (historical) cooperation with Tobia, the developer of ownCloud's chat app. We decided to merge our projects. During the past few months, he developed a chat server in PHP, included with the jsxc.owncloud app. Even if the chat server doesn't contain yet all features of a real XMPP server, it is a huge step for ownCloud and JSXC, as it allows JSXC to work out of the box in ownCloud.
- Repository Move: For this occasion we move the jsxc.owncloud repository into the ownCloud organisation and is now available via owncloud/jsxc.chat.
- File Transfer: As another innovation, we present an often requested feature: File transfers via WebRTC.
