Dino (dino-im in Debian), the modern and beautiful chat client for the desktop, has some nice, new features. Users of Debian testing (bullseye) might like to try them:

• XEP-0391: Jingle Encrypted Transports (explained here)
• XEP-0402: Bookmarks 2 (explained here)

Note, that users of Dino on Debian 10 (buster) should upgrade to version 0.0.git20181129-1+deb10u1, because of a number of security issues, that have been found (CVE-2019-16235, CVE-2019-16236, CVE-2019-16237).

There have been other XMPP related updates in Debian since release of buster, among them:

• Ejabberd 19.08-2
• Gajim 1.1.3-2 and Gajim OMEMO 2.6.29-1 plugin
• Profanity 0.7.1, now with OMEMO encryption support!
