Swift is trying to plug a hole in the XMPP client landscape, and has
these aims:
* Wide platform availability.
* Doing the "Right Thing" for the user, without configuration.
* Doing the "Right Thing" with standards-compliance.
* Targeting the end-users, not the system administrators.
* Being an XMPP client - not multi-protocol.
* Concentrating on the most frequently performed tasks.
* Never interrupt the user with something that doesn't need attention.
Features of interest
* Easy status setting.
* Easy room joining and bookmarking.
* XEP-0258 Labelling for secure environments.
* Stream compression for bandwidth-saving.
* Support for the new SCRAM authentication mechanism.
