Work that did not get merged (In progress)

Attention command

Used to grab the user's attention in one-to-one chat and it's implemented according to XEP-0224.

Status: Implementation is already finished and reviewed, but it's not landed as we think that we can display received message on the UI in a better way

Related bugs

Data Forms

Allows the exchange of structured data between users and services through UI to perform tasks (e.g. In­-Band Registration, User Search, etc.) and it's implemented according to XEP-0004.

Status: close to final reviews

Related bugs

In-band registration

Allows user to register with a server with a host and it's implemented according to XEP-0077.

Status: close to final reviews

Related bugs

  • Bug 955317 - Support XEP-0077 In-Band Registration

Cancel an existing registration on server

Allows user to cancel an existing registration on server with a host.

Status: early stage

Left to do : Deleting an account on a server is an async process, but this will not work with current mechanism of deleting account information on the client permanently before this process, so we have to find a way to fit that (Recently, I have discussed an idea with mentors, but it's not implemented yet)
