GNUnet Messenger API: July 2025
Hi there, unfortunately I didn’t make it to write a blog post last month. I was quite busy closing open ends of other projects while there were quite some bugs and issues to be solved in the Messenger service of GNUnet . On the bright side this means I have a lot to talk about this month. Most critical issues could be solved already, test cases of libgnunetchat pass again with all latest changes and the end-to-end encrypted chats seem to work as intended. I am still encountering some issues that messages do not get received immediately from chats or the chats can behave somewhat inconsistent. However it’s likely some condition caused by parallel events or a very specific order of events that’s difficult to reproduce. But these issues only seem to appear on reopening old chats from a previous session. The current sessions simply seem to work properly. Invitations do now respond to input feedback all the time and chat types get visualized depending on actual bits in a chat room’s key....
