While I normally reserve my blog posts for Jabber / XMPP / Psi topics, and try quite hard not to flood Planet Psi or Planet Jabber that feed from here with personal nonsense, ramblings and self-indulgence, just for once I’m going to make a personal post.

On Friday 23rd February, the wonderful Catherine Morgan-James had a momentary lapse of reason, and accepted my proposal of marriage. For those who are interested, it happened outside the Palais de Justice in Brussels, yes I got down on one knee (this resulted in a wet knee, as it was raining!) and yes, I presented a ring (which getting to Brussels without suspicion was an almost Herculean undertaking). This is obviously a source of great joy for me, and I include a somewhat blurry photo of Cath’s hand and the ring.

Assorted improvements have been sent to mainline since 0.11-beta4, so it’s time for beta5. Included in this release are a better user experience when registering accounts, overhauled SSL/TLS settings, support for global (system-wide) shortcuts, international domain name support, in-band registration (XEP-77) compliancy, various compliancy fixes, support for providing custom authentication details, a merged top/centre toolbar in the chat dialog and misc. other fixes.

I’d also like to take this moment to welcome Machekku, a long time contributor to the project, to the core development team. Welcome.
