This is a release that adds some useful features:
Contacts
A new contact panel allows to search and display all the identities and profiles. Contacts that haven’t set any avatar picture will get one generated by Identicons. The connection status as well as the locations are displayed and updated in real time.
Retroshare profile importer
It is now possible to directly import a Retroshare profile and friends into Xeres so that it’ll connect with them automatically.
Miscellaneous
Faster avatar image loading.
When opening a chat, the few last lines are redisplayed so that the context can be quickly grasped.
It’s possible to set oneself away or busy.
The systray context menu has been improved and one can initiate a chat from there.
Newly created profiles use SHA-256 for their integrity checksum instead of SHA-1 to improve compatibility with the upcoming Retroshare.
Added support for possibly future Elliptic Curve keys.
The application menu has been improved with a better layout and removal of deprecated functions.
Added an image viewer to see inline images in full screen.
Turtle received some fixes for tunnel expirations and search forwarding.
And many other fixes and improvements.
Full Changelog: v0.7.2…v0.7.3
Many thanks to everyone who gave feedback and helped to improve Xeres!
