v5.3.0-beta.6

New in v5.3.0-beta.6

CLI and desktop builds are switched to GHC 9.6.2, that results in better garbage collection in performance.
Mobile apps are still using GHC 8.10.7

All apps:

• more stable and faster initial connection to the relays.
• fixed bug preventing members connecting in the groups.
• Thai (all apps) and Ukrainian (Android and desktop) interface languages.

Desktop:

• Lossy JPEG compression - better visual quality of sent images, profile pictures and link previews
• Fixed auto-scroll to the new message
• Improved UI performance

Mac apps are now signed and notarised, so should no longer require disabling the GateKeeper.

v5.3.0-beta.5

New:

• new privacy settings: show last messages & save draft
• improved groups layout, aggregated "member connected" events
• iOS:
  • accessibility: fix voice over repeating messages
• desktop:
  • enter app passcode with keyboard
  • fix marking messages as read
  • clickable links in replied to messages, hand cursor on hover
  • other stability/usablity improvements

Please note: if you use desktop app and store database passphrase on the device, it will be stored in config file as plaintext, which is almost as secure as using unencrypted database (default in CLI app). You can remove the passphrase from the device and enter it every time you start the app.

To run the app on MacOS:

1. Download DMG for your platform (Intel - x86-64, ARM - aarch64)
2. Install the app
3. Disable Gatekeeper before starting the app. Check in Security & Privacy Settings of MacOS that applications downloaded from "Anywhere" are allowed – if you try starting it before allowing, MacOS can put it in quarantine and will later show it's damaged.
4. If there is no "Anywhere" option, depending on the OS version you need to run sudo spctl --master-disable in the terminal (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7803417, but consult Apple docs for your MacOS version).
5. Start the app, confirming that it is ok. If the system shows that the app is "damaged", either remove it and download again or remove quarantine: sudo xattr -c /Applications/simplex.app (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253714860)
6. If app crashes on start, it is possible there is no folder ~/.local/share - check that it exists (ls -la ~/.local/share) and create if necessary (mkdir ~/.local/share, it will be created in later releases).

If you have problems starting the MacOS app, please run it from the terminal with open --stderr err.log /Application/simplex.app and then send us err.log file.

v5.3.0-beta.3

Mobile apps:

• new preset servers.
• delivery receipts in small groups – please test!
• improved error messages.

Desktop app beta 1.1.0:

• up arrow to edit the last message.
• drag-drop files to send.
• fix saving files.
• emoji font for linux.
• improved stability - the app no longer hangs.
• fix Shift-Enter when editing multiline messages.
• AppImage for Linux

To run the app on MacOS:

1. Download DMG for your platform (Intel - x86-64, ARM - aarch64)
2. Install the app
3. Disable Gatekeeper before starting the app. Check in Security & Privacy Settings of MacOS that applications downloaded from "Anywhere" are allowed – if you try starting it before allowing, MacOS can put it in quarantine and will later show it's damaged.
4. If there is no "Anywhere" option, depending on the OS version you need to run sudo spctl --master-disable in the terminal (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7803417, but consult Apple docs for your MacOS version).
5. Start the app, confirming that it is ok. If the system shows that the app is "damaged", either remove it and download again or remove quarantine: sudo xattr -c /Applications/simplex.app (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253714860)
6. If app crashes on start, it is possible there is no folder ~/.local/share - check that it exists (ls -la ~/.local/share) and create if necessary (mkdir ~/.local/share, it will be created in later releases).

If you have problems starting the MacOS app, please run it from the terminal with open --stderr err.log /Application/simplex.app and then send us err.log file.

Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE:
This Android build has major changes related to migration to Multiplatform architecture to release the desktop app.
While the most critical things were tested, there can be many bugs.
Huge thank you for helping us to test it!
DO NOT use this version if you need it to be stable.
