## News
I rewrote how MUCs are handled and they should work much better now. If not, feel free to open an issue, as usual.
The first Windows build of 0.6.6 was missing a compile-time flag, so if it does not work for you download it again, or get this version once available.
Version 0.2 of the _OMEMO XEP_ adopted the namespace actually implemented by all the clients, so there is no need for a 'compatible' version of the plugin any longer. This mostly concerns Windows users who used the `lurch_compat.dll`, so don't be confused if it's not there.
If you use a version <0.6.5, you should still definitely update.
If you use a version <0.6.5, you should still definitely update for security reasons.

This should work on newer versions of MacOS, but if you run into problems check out [#8](https://github.com/gkdr/lurch/issues/8#issuecomment-285937828) for some hints. Complete instructions on how to get this running with Pidgin appreciated!
