After more than six months of development next release of the XMPP client . The program is written in C++ using Qt, QXmpp, and the framework and under GPLv3 license. The need for a new language arose during Keith Packard's teaching practice, where he wished to use a language suitable for teaching students on Arduino boards and reminiscent of Lego Logo, but capable of forming a foundation for further learning in programming. Key requirements for the new language included a text-based nature (demonstrating real programming methods not tied to graphical interfaces and mice), for Linux (), and (experimental build). The publication of builds for Windows and in Flatpak format is delayed. The build requires Qt 5.12 and QXmpp 1.2 (support for Ubuntu Touch has been discontinued due to outdated Qt).
New version more user-friendly for new XMPP users and provides a higher level of security with no additional effort on the user's part. With Kaidan, you can now record and send audio and video, as well as search for contacts and messages. Additionally, this new release includes many minor improvements and fixes.
