Just in case you're not aware yet: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/releases/tag/v0.9.8 :)

I have been distracted. Thanks for the heads up. Building now.

Done. Lemme know how it goes.

It mostly seems fine, aside from emojis somehow. Seeing how this packaging was done about 4 days after the 0.9.8 release, I see no bugreport for this on the official bugtracker and it works fine on the website, could this be a packaging issue? I had no problems on 0.9.7.

If there is a problem, I am sure it is my packaging that is at fault somehow. That being said, this is what I view in the desktop application after sending emoji from my android application...

Can you elaborate on how you sent your emoji? What platform you are on? Etc.

I don't have problem with most emojis. So far I encountered that issue only with the atom symbol: ⚛️. When I hover the image I see :atom_symbol: as the alternative text. After sending a message with that Unicode character an error appears in Developer Tools: GET file:///opt/riot/resources/app/webapp/emojione/svg/269b-fe0f.svg?v=2.2.7 net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

There's only one atom image in the emojione/svg folder and its name is 269b.svg, not 269b-fe0f.svg. Images with -abcd on the end apparently are additional (looks like color) variants of the same image. Maybe some images were removed but a script wasn't updated or vice versa?

Edit. I don't feel familiar enough with JS to debug that but one more observation: As far as I understand, I'm pasting Unicode character with the code 0x269b. Image 269b.svg does exist in emojione/svg directory. The script though is requesting 269b0-fe0f.svg which doesn't exist there.

Edit 2. Actually, there's no single *-fe0f.svg file in the emojione/svg directory and apparently fe0f indicates simply that we want emoji presentation, not text presentation: http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-variants.html Not sure how it may be related to the issue. There's a file /opt/riot/resources/app/webapp/bundles/6597817565d1a69c24d8/bundle.js containing a lot of data but what may be related is a huge e.emojioneList array with elements like ":atom_symbol:":{unicode:["269b-fe0f","269b"],fname:"269b",uc:"269b",isCanonical:!1}

Though, apparently it works well in web client and others using desktop clients on Linux report to not experience that issue. So I would guess, a script was not updated?

I will try to dig deeper into this in a couple weeks. I am heads down at the moment with "Real Job[tm]" and this is not a critical failure. Thanks for the input.

Now that riot-rpm 0.12.7 has been released, is this issue still relevant?

[taw00]

I don't see any more issues from my end. Closing.
