It's time again! A new release is here!
Last month I didn't really had that much time to spare for working on UWPX.
Never the less this release includes one more or less big new feature:
If you add a new account and enter your JID, UWPX tries to look up the SRV record for you and populates the Server address and Port field automatically with the correct values.

The next two to three months I have to, like last month, reduce the time I can spend working on UWPX, since there's quiet a lot of other (University) stuff I have to prioritize.

Please report bugs here!

How can I get this App?

There are three ways how you can get access to the app.

1. Microsoft Store:

The simplest way is to just download it via the Microsoft Store.

2. Sideload:

If you don't want to use the Microsoft Store for getting access to UWPX you can also sideload a pre build app.
For this head over to releases and download the latest UWPX_UI_X.Y.Z.0.zip.
Once downloaded, unpack and right click Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 -> Execute with PowerShell to install it.

For this to work you first have to enable Sideload app in your Windows settings! Click here for more information about this.

3. Build it by your own

Short version:
  1. Install Visual Studio 2017
  2. Clone the repo with Visual Studio 2017
  3. Build the project for your target platform (e.g. x64)
  4. Install the app on your target system:
