Hi, I'd like to announce a new release (1.0.12) of the WhatsApp messenger WhosThere.
== Changes == WhosThere is now completely ported to telepathy. Integration into the messaging menu on the phone and the empathy/KDE telepathy client on the desktop comes automatically. Initial setup of the account has to be done in WhosThere's gui, though. The second big change is integration into the system address book (on phone and on desktop. On desktop it's evolution/gnome-contacts). You can now sync your address book's phone numbers with WhatsApp to have them added to your contact list. (Sync is not automatic and must be triggered from the menu on "Contacts" screen) I will also be talking/showing about WhosThere on the Ubuntu SDK days [6], tomorrow (friday) at 20:00 UTC. == Install == It can be installed by sudo apt-add-repository ppa:m-gehre:ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa sudo apt-get install whosthere == Run == Start /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-whosthere and whosthere --desktop_file_hint /usr/share/applications/whosthere.desktop from the commandline to see important log messages. The software is split into multiple parts: The gui [1], which provides account managment and all features of messages receiving/sending, and the telepathy connection manager [2], which acts as a middle man between the yowsup library for the whatsapp protocol [4] and the telepathy protocol for IM in linux. == Misc == I'd also like to announce my work on telepathy-qt's service part [3], if anyone out there wants to implement a telepathy connection manager using the qt backend. Contributers/Testers are welcome! Report issues at [5].
