I managed to make a fairly self-contained and small +reproducible test case for it that does not depend on the network. +Seems the bug is gonna be either in the Haskell binding for GNUTLS, +or possibly in GNUTLS itself. + +Update: John was able to fix it using my testcase! It was a GNUTLS +credentials object that went out of scope and got garbage collected. +I think I was seeing the crash only with the threaded runtime because +it has a separate garbage collection thread. + +---- + +Arranged for the XMPP thread to restart when network connections +change, as well as when the webapp configures it. + +Added an alert to nudge users to enable XMPP. It's displayed after adding a +remote in the cloud. + +[[!img /assistant/xmppnudge.png]] + +---- + +So, the first stage of XMPP is done. But so far all it does is push +notification. Much more work to do here. |
