1. Integration API update

Integration API is developing and a lot of our customers use it to send messages to the chat from various systems. But using one key for all those tasks is not secure. Especially if a key has no expiration time. A key can be compromised, and sometimes you need.to specify its expiration date after which the key must block automatically.

Now, you can create any number of keys and enable and disable them in one click. You can delete a key, for example, if it is compromised. There is a button to clear out the whole key list. You can also specify the key expiration date and write a comment/description for each one of them (editing by double-clicking).

The server generates the key text automatically when you add a new one.

To copy the text from the clipboard, press the right mouse button and select the menu item, or click the left mouse button on the copy button opposite the key

When updating the server your old key is automatically added to a list to not mess up ready integrations.

2. Player for voice messages in the alternative client

In MyChat alternative version for Windows we have added rendering for voice messages sent from mobile applications:

Development history with developers' comments

MyChat Client

[-] (win32) if you choose "Copy all" from a context menu in the information window about a user (F4), or click on an empty line in a table and choose "Copy", then a program crashes with the error ID F2ADFADA (List index out of bounds (0)). Fixed;

4. How to update to the latest version?

Both commercial and free versions are updated in the same way. The server is updated first, then the clients. In general, this process is performed automatically.
