Update Sections in the XMPP Newsletter and possibly where news items belong.

[Echolon]

With this discussion I would like to introduce a number of changes to Newsletter template and presenation:

• Introduce a Highlights Sections, that should cover maximum 5 items and be a one liner.
• Application of XMPP first: Have the Newsletter sorted a bit more by usable software and real-world activities like events, videos and sprints - and - a more technical details part such as hacks, technical insights, servers and backend but of course also our XEPs.
  • This section could also be made with the client logo before the info first?
• Simpler woring: Have more focus on the changes for users with references to more details and what a XEP additions means to the user instead of just listing the XEP name and number as well as listing each version number changes and iterations. Recent example of maybe being too much. At least version information should go to the very end:

  • Conversations has released versions 2.19.13, 2.19.14 and 2.9.15 for Android. This releases bring fixes for a crash when changing OMEMO bundle access model, a crash when sharing Quicksy XMPP addresses and a fix for Quicksy registration on older devices, shows hats in public conferences where available, shows a warning in the chat if a contact is in different time zone and it is night time for them, a refactored automatic DND handling (based on system DND), and a warning in the chat window if contact is in DND mode. You can take a look at the changelog for all the details or check the intermediate changelogs from 2.19.12 to 2.19.13, 2.19.13 to 2.19.14 and/or 2.19.14 to 2.19.15.
