* What is Jami?

Jami is a GNU package for universal communication that respects the
freedom and privacy of its users.  Jami is an end-to-end encrypted
secure and distributed voice, video, and chat communication platform
that requires no central server, and leaves the power of privacy and
freedom in the hands of users.

Jami supports the following key features:

. One-to-one conversations
. File sharing
. Audio/video calls and conferences
. Screen sharing in video calls and conferences
. Recording and sending audio/video messages
. SIP phone features

* Jami Maloya release highlights

The highlights of the Maloya release of Jami include:

. New Qt-based cross-platform (GNU/Linux and Windows, and soon macOS)
  jami-qt client application[*]

  [*] With the release of the new jami-qt application on GNU/Linux,
  though the Jami team aims to maintain and develop the GTK-based
  jami-gnome client for the coming months, it will eventually have to
  decrease and at some point in the near future stop working on it,
  as the team members continue focusing on further developing the new
  jami-qt client application.

  However, the Jami team welcomes help and contributions from the
  wider GNU and free software community in continuing developing the
  GTK-based jami-gnome client.  If you are interested in helping with
  the development of jami-gnome and/or other parts of Jami, please
  reach out to me via email at bandali at gnu.org and say hi!  I would
  be happy to try and help you get started contributing to Jami. :-)

. New (cross-platform) Jami plugins

. Battery consumption improvements on mobile platforms

. Many SIP-related bug fixes and improvements

. Various JAMS (Jami Account Management Server) improvements and
  commercial support offering for organizations

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify jami-20210606.1.e2f9490.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
