Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

Whisperfish 0.6.0-beta.22

Several cool fixes and features.

Changes

  • Fix a crash when downloading certain attachments
  • Update from Rust 1.52 to Rust 1.75 to allow for many many many new cool things!
  • Inline voice message player (highly overengineered!)
  • Show identified delivery status in debug mode for group messages on per-recipient basis
  • Fix a crash when messages are received on deleted group sessions
  • Performance improvements on loading sessions and receiving read receipts
  • Fix RUSTSEC-2020-0071 RUSTSEC-2021-0139 RUSTSEC-2021-0146 RUSTSEC-2021-0145 RUSTSEC-2021-0127 CVE-2023-42444 and CVE-2023-42447 (although unaffected by any of these)
  • Update Emoji s to version 15
  • Some initial work for receiving stories and distribution lists
  • Fix deleting messages with attachments
  • Decrypt attachments on a threadpool instead of on the executor (fixes lag/unresponsiveness on receiving attachments)
  • Update libsqlite/sqlcipher to 3.41/4.5.0
  • Rework logging subsystem for more concise and more useful logs

Currently, linking and registration is broken because Signal now mandates PNI/ACI support on clients. I will implement that next. There are several other cool new features upcoming too, stay tuned for a very soon update!
