This release brings three new features: message retraction, blocking participants in group chats, and updated support for modern group chat avatars. Thank you for all your contributions!
What’s New
Gajim 2.2 comes with support for retracting messages via XEP-0424: Message Retraction. This allow you to retract your messages, if you’ve mistakenly sent it to the wrong recipient or group chat. Please note that your counterpart needs to support this feature as well, as a retraction can only be considered an unenforceable request.
In group chats, Gajim now allows you to block individual participants, if need arises. Blocking is available through each participant’s context menu. Block lists are private, but they can be synchronized between devices. This feature is only supported by Gajim as of now.
Finally, official support for XEP-0486: MUC Avatars has been added, which allows group chats to have individual profile pictures.
A note for Windows users: At the time of writing, there are some issues with emoji rendering on Windows. That’s why there is no release of Gajim 2.2 for Windows yet. This issue should soon be resolved and we will post an update once Gajim 2.2 is released on Windows.
More Changes
- Account sidebar now indicates connectivity issues

And much more! Have a look at the changelog for a complete list.
