Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

Whisperfish 0.6.0-beta.36 “Group effort”

The name (picked by @direc85) is kinda ironic: it refers to a huge effort regarding group update messages. Instead of “group was updated“, you will now get meaningful messages. It is ironic in the sense that this release was mostly a one-man effort: Matti did practically all the work on this release! Thank you Matti :slight_smile:

:warning: Important note :warning: If you use Whisperfish as the primary device (you registered with phone number using Whisperfish), you may have to re-link Signal Desktop. Remove the device from Whisperfish settings and add it again.
