tox clients and libraries updates #22775
Conversation
@peterhoeg, thanks for your PR! By analyzing the history of the files in this pull request, we identified @viric, @akaWolf and @obadz to be potential reviewers. |
Regarding the naming of the libraries, the only user of "libtoxcore-dev" is "tox-prpl" which while not having any immediate plans to move to the proper libtoxcore, the main dev agrees that it is the way forward. As a consequence, when that happens we will be left with "libtoxcore-old" and "libtoxcore" which seems reasonable. |

@peterhoeg thank you very much for your effort! I know, versioning in libtoxcore is a pain... I did a quick check with toxic/ratox/utox and it seems to work. I guess its save to merge |
Motivation for this change
As I'm sick and tired of skype, I needed qtox to work properly.
As a young project there's been quite a bit of churn and it turns out a number of changes have been made to the libraries.
We currently have 3 versions of libtoxcore:
All the tox clients have now been updated and those that can use the proper libtoxcore do (spoiler, we only have one user each of -old and -new).
All this came about because I wanted the latest qtox... Oh well.
