Gajim 1.5.3

Gajim 1.5.3 has been released

Gajim 1.5.3 brings back a feature many of you missed: selecting and copying multiple messages. Emoji shortcodes have been improved and cover even more emojis now. Gajim also lets you mark workspaces as read, so you don’t have to go through all conversations. Thank you for all your contributions!

What’s New

Since we changed the way Gajim displays messages in Gajim 1.4, selecting multiple messages to copy them was not possible anymore. With Gajim 1.5.3 you can now select multiple messages via message menu, followed by marking each message you would like to copy.

Thanks to @mjk, Gajim now offers even more emojis when using shortcodes. You will now get suggestions for categories as well, which makes finding the right emoji easier 🎉
