Ok here's a mostly bug fixes update, Yappari 0.0.10.

Changelog:

* Fixed several crashes.
* 100% native Maemo notifications that don't use a weird sound server (no high CPU) . LED notifications.
* No, I can't do anything about the 100% native Maemo notification icon, it's just like that and we can't change it. That's broken Maemo for you.
* Fixed registration problem where people was typing their numbers wrong but Whatsapp servers were smart enough to correct them. Yappari was ignoring these corrections. Now they have priority.
* Moved log to /home/user/.config/scorpius/yappari.log to avoid USB issues.
* Network changes from one network to another are detected but Maemo insists in showing us the dialog again. If you cancel the dialog you'll see Yappari have switched without any problem.
* Date & time uses user regional settings now. You can see the seconds now also.
* If you receive a message from a contact you don't have you see the name he registerd and not his number.
* Delayed messages now show the correct timestamp.

And.... (drum roll) here's some new features for the loyal Yappari users & fans:

* Basic group support (yeah you've heard it right)
* Online/Offline/last seen/typing indicators.

I'll be updating the first post as well.

No. That's exactly what I didn't want. Wazapp is python (pseudo-compiled) and Java port is Java (pseudo-compiled in a VM ~ worse ).

Yappari is 100% native. The main applications is written in Qt (C++). The status menu applet is written in GLIB (C).

A normal VM running in a phone would drain the battery. Android uses Dalvik which is a heavy modified Java VM to be used in phones, it's different.
