The [events are sorted by start date](https://invent.kde.org/kde/calindori/commit/13b3a93bd36d04ce75679615298c7cf26d1371ac). + +![Calindori showing flat event view](/img/screenshots/calindori_201912.png) + +### Kaidan + +Kaidan, the Jabber/XMPP client, has had multiple changes merged, [including a branch from pasnox to overhaul multimedia messages](https://invent.kde.org/kde/kaidan/merge_requests/355). This new change allows to: + +* Send voice and video messages from within the application. +* Take photos from within the application. +* Share your location in chat messages. +* Play videos and sounds directly in the chats. + +Kaidan also [gained the capability to search through messages](https://invent.kde.org/kde/kaidan/merge_requests/404). + +### Spacebar + +Jonah BrĂ¼chert merged several improvements in Spacebar, the application used to send SMS messages. + +* Use [unicode emojis instead of a custom emoji picker](https://invent.kde.org/kde/spacebar/commit/b6d8f543762ad1637e5313f17bd07a8a3030dcaf). +* Added a [loading animation in the chats page](https://invent.kde.org/kde/spacebar/commit/b08ad616218eb973ee8afcc48aed15c77d232d20). +* Fix display of phone numbers and contact names. Previously in some cases just Javascript's `undefined` was displayed. +* Some general visual improvements on the conversation page.
