Here we go; 
beta 8! Whisperfish is still 
beta software . It is known to eat messages 
, batteries 
(but that should be fixed now) , and sometimes even your contacts 
(not really) ! Hedge yourself against these: install Signal Desktop and link it with Whisperfish.
In this version, we fix compatibility with the upcoming SailfishOS 4.4:
- Introduce SailJail compatibility
- Isolate the share plugin
We also introduce a quite involved workaround for registration of new accounts. There’s a diamond dependency 
problem revolving around libsqlite3, libsqlcipher and libmozembed which has caused me, @gamag and @direc85 countless headaches 
, and because we’re getting quite sick of it, there’s now a workaround. Find it here:
Apart from these two very anticipated features, there’s a whole lot of new goodies. Please find the whole changelog 
on OpenRepos. Among them are a whole bunch of QoL improvements, and many of those are thanks to @direc85! Thanks, Matti, for helping with this release! If you like my work or Matti’s work, feel free to get me or direc85 a coffee 
.
In very relevant great news, my Cargo 
SB2 patch was recently merged. This means that the upstream Sailfish application SDK will soon be able to compile Whisperfish and Taak without any patched and manually installed compilers. I expect that this will hit when the SDK targets 4.5, and this will drastically improve the situation for potential new contributors.
Normally, the new version will appear over the next hours on OpenRepos. I have to go play chess now, I’ll check again in the evening.
