Cwtch

Today we are releasing Cwtch 1.13.1 This is a small point release that fixes emoji rendering on Windows, in addition to clarifying the UX when setting "start offline" mode. Download: cwtch.im/download/

Today we are releasing Cwtch 1.13! It's been over five years since we we announced Cwtch & the first alpha prototypes. We have spent the last two years publishing beta releases. We are now ready to begin the next phase. More info: docs.cwtch.im/blog/cwtch-1-1…

We continue to recommend that people only enable experimental features where they understand the risks involved and also suggest enabling the Block Unknown Contacts feature in such cases. (2/2)

A note on CVE-2023-4863: we have not been able to confirm the impact to Flutter (and thus Cwtch UI). In Cwtch, images are only ever displayed if the contact has been explicitly accepted AND the file sharing and image previews experiments are enabled. (1/2)

We have released a new Nightly! This nightly contains a first cut of Conversation Search, in addition to several bug fixes impacting effectiveness of the contact retry plugin when combined with a large contact list, and an unstable network connection. docs.cwtch.im/blog/cwtch-nig…

We have always had a policy of evaluating contributions based on value, and not on identity. We have many contributors whom we know only by writing style, contribution type, or Cwtch address. Call for contributor credits: docs.cwtch.im/blog/cwtch-sta…

In this devlog we will talk about how the Cwtch UI are currently built, the changes we have made to Cwtch UI to make future distributions verifiable, and the next steps we will be taking to make all Cwtch builds reproducible. Read more: docs.cwtch.im/blog/cwtch-ui-…

Back in March we extended and updated several goals from our January roadmap that we would have to hit on our way to Cwtch Stable, now that we have reached target date of many of these goals, it is time for Cwtch Stable Roadmap Update: docs.cwtch.im/blog/cwtch-sta…

@triazalone @LetsSpeek Hi! We actually do have a file transfer option - but because file sharing have slightly more nuanced security properties the feature requires turning on an experiment setting. See our docs for more information: docs.cwtch.im/docs/chat/shar…
