This XMPP client supports a lot of useful XMPP extensions such as server side message archiving, video chat, and so on. It also has a bunch of convenient plugins which make it extendable. Almost everything is configurable in the "advanced" section of the preference window.
It is the most complete desktop client available regarding XMPP extensions. However, I found that it is also not very stable and I have to restart it from time to time to resynchronize with the server.
It still maintains support to this day. Updated at a pace that is kinda pleasant to see, and I mean that it was last updated on the 24th of July 2022 at the time of me typing this comment. (8/11/2022) It's a nice option for a XMPP client. Like, really nice. Look into it for yourself if XMPP is what you're looking for with a chat client's support.
Under W7x64 i had this error at program's start. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) solved this.
OMEMO is very useful and less annoying as OTR session's failures, like OpenPGP works correctly if you need it.
