Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

I have now pushed alpha.8 to OpenRepos, with very minimal changes (current master contains an important performance bug):

Fixes in alpha.8:

  • Many hours have been spent in implementing the reCAPTCHA functionality. It works, with a LOT of thanks to @gamag for figuring out what went wrong and for actually fixing it. Jolla is shipping an old version of sqlcipher, which interfered with qt5-mozembed, and we now ship our own sqlcipher for this. Registration should hereby be fixed, so please file an issue if it is not.
  • SailfishOS 4.0 stopped shipping the (non-public) BubbleBackground, and replaced it with a ColorBackground. We now ship our own ColorRect, thanks to @ichthyosaurus . Viewing messages on 4.0.1.45EA should be fixed.

Notable bug: reCAPTCHA rendering on SailfishOS 4.0.1.45EA currently does not work. We think this is a regression in mozembed, and filed a bug with Jolla. We hope this is resolved before SailfishOS 4.0 hits the masses.

Another pair of issues just came to light:

  • Newly registered Android/iOS accounts might not be reachable from Whisperfish. This will be addressed when we finally migrate to UUID sessions.
  • Contact names may not show up and will not update. This is the same regression that @Ygriega noticed. #231

Many hours have been sunk into getting the reCAPTCHA rendered. Your patience is now finally awarded :slight_smile: The Whisperfish beta is getting in good shape, and there are many treats coming your way in a few weeks™! :partying_face:

PS: for about two hours, there has been a “new alpha.7 aarch64” on OpenRepos. This was a mistagged alpha.8, and has now been removed. No damage should’ve been done.
