✨ My first technical blogpost is out now. ✨

If you ever wanted to learn a bit about how
#deltachat works internally and why we have two ways to communicate with our #rust core, then this is the introduction to read

#deltachat_desktop 1.46 rollout is basically done except for #homebrew and #nix (the Nix package is already in the works, home-brew could use some help)

There are also some users reporting crashes with the flatpak: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3930
And with the MacOS version from the appstore https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3938

So if you have problems tell us, additional information will help us to solve these issues. (frankly we rely on user feedback because we have #noTelemetry)

a new minor version of #deltachat_desktop is ready for testing:
https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.34.5/

- fixes missing emojis in emoji picker on :tux: & :windows:
- make <[email protected]> really clickable
- and updated to the new 1.110 version of #deltachat_core, which brings stability and speed improvements. @r10s experienced significant faster message sending for example.

This release will rollout in the next weeks when we find no issues, please help us with testing if you can.

Context: if you follow #deltachat_desktop discussions on the #deltachat forum you might already know that we're planning to move #deltachat_desktop from #electron to #tauri in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to #jsonrpc was one step into this direction).
So I made this small sample project to check tauri out.
It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.

scrolling in #deltachat_desktop feels even faster now after switching the backend from cffi to #jsonrpc & #rust

Be ready for #deltachat desktop 1.34, It's coming soon..

We’re working hard on the upcoming 1.34 desktop release.
The bulk of the work was moving all talking with core to #jsonrpc api, which speeds up development and #deltachat_desktop itself.

The move to jsonrpc is also one big step in liberating us from electron, as we plan to switch to https://tauri.app in the far future.

Stay tuned for the new test releases in the 1.33.X release row.
(even versions are releases, odd versions are test releases)
