This is the latest release. We love bug reports!
What does it do:

- Leave/delete conversation
- Notifications
- Toggle notifications on/off
- Drag-drop, copy-paste or attach-button for image upload.
- Hangupsbot sync room aware (no bot name, proper user pics)
- Show inline images
- Send presence/focus/typing/activeclient to behave like a proper client
- History scrollback
- Video/audio integration (open in chrome)
- Focus/typing indications (mainly a design issue. keep it clean)
What doesn't it do (yet?):
- Have a serious icon (this is being adressed)
This is an open source project. Please help us!
It is written in coffeescript (nodejs) based on hangupsjs using trifl on top of electron (atom shell).
