As others have written, this is unfortunately the last OSS version of Rambox.
OSS alternatives:

Ferdium has very active development. It's based on Franz which is was stable fork of the open source version of Franz.
Hamsket is based on an older version of Rambox OSS.

AUR package of the new closed source pro version of Rambox: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rambox-pro-bin

EDIT: Package is on 0.4.4 again. The CPU issue occurs independent from the Rambox version. Downgrading to 0.4.1 might help. --- Old comment: Package update to 0.4.4 reverted due to bug which causes very high cpu consumption. See https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/issues/366 for details. If you really want to try 0.4.4 you can find the PKGBUILD in the history: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=rambox-bin&id=f37ee886a3f7ab98defce12d8b6ab3aa8815a72d

@bradpitcher Thanks for sharing but I updated this package almost the same minute as you commented. So you can try the update and let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!

@oahon: Thank's for the report. The dependency was indeed missing and has been added to the latest PKGBUILD.

<deleted-account> commented on 2016-07-29 18:33 (UTC)

I guess libxss should be added to dependencies? Won't open without it.

janek commented on 2016-07-19 18:54 (UTC)

@bradpitcher I don't have this issue, using x64 binary on kernel 4.6.4. Window manager is i3 but I have some gnome daemons running too.

bradpitcher commented on 2016-07-19 18:10 (UTC)

Experiencing this issue: https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/issues/95 Is it just me?

@hexdsi: Thanks for the report. But I can't reproduce this issue. Please try downloading the package sources again. Probably data got corrupted during download. If it still does not work, try to download https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/releases/download/0.4.0/Rambox-linux-x64.zip manually and post the output of "sha256sum Rambox-linux-x64.zip"

hexdsl commented on 2016-07-16 16:03 (UTC)

Rambox-linux-x64.zip ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
