🎉️ libhandy 0.80.0 is out!
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/libhandy/tags/v0.80.0
This 1st alpha to the upcoming libhandy 1 offers free-form windows, swipeable decks, a cleaner and simpler API, vastly improved styling, and more!
See the migration documentation: https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/libhandy/unstable/hdy-migrating-0-0-to-1.html
As an alpha, it is not suitable for distribution, use it if you want to start porting your app to libhandy 1, but be aware its API and ABI *will* change before the 1st beta release.
#phosh 0.3.0 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.3.0
Notifications can be persistent now thanks to zbrown, screen blanking/locking and haptic feedback are improved as is #i18n.
Since i got this question recently: how can i help advancing #phosh and related projects *financially* (without buying a #librem5 right away)? Simplest is to get a paid librem.one subscription (https://librem.one/) atm.
#debian's #gitlab-runner package (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/gitlab-runner) is just awesome. It builds it's own (matching) management container and can use Debian's packaged docker. No fiddling with 3rd party repos. Setup in 1 minute. 🚀

To the best of our knowledge, the #Librem5 is the only smartphone around with a OpenPGP smart card reader. In this post I talk about why that's such a big deal: https://puri.sm/posts/your-own-personal-enclave-the-smart-card-reader-on-the-librem-5/

Derzeit gibt es viele Hackathons, um Tools zu entwickeln, mit deren Hilfe man verschiedene Probleme rund um die Corona Krise bewältigen kann. Es muss sichergestellt sein, dass die Ergebnisse dieser Hackathons global genutzt und lokal angepasst werden können, dass die Software verwendet, verstanden, verbreitet und verbessert werden kann. Überall. Wir fordern daher, die Ergebnisse unter einer Freien-Software-Lizenz zu veröffentlichen.
I've started to update an ancient (and dormant for several years) project of mine that handles prepaid sim cards (check balance, top-up):

More than ever, it is important to choose your tools wisely. Do not fall for gratis offers and what "everyone" is using. Check whether the applications and services actually empower or rather restrict you!

The past weekend some members of the XMPP community gathered in Düsseldorf to work on the next iteration of the OMEMO End to End Encryption Specification. All of us agree that the result - version 0.4 of XEP-0384 - is a huge step forward and better than ever! https://blog.jabberhead.tk/2020/03/10/omemo-specification-sprint/
