    The encryption line. The app learned to speak OMEMO 2, to ask about every new device, and to sync your encryption choices and trusted keys between your devices; a security audit's fixes landed along the way. It closed with Night and Day themes and a new sign-in screen. On libtacky 1.0.0-beta1 → beta7; macOS stayed on 0.4.0.

    0.4.7 — 2026-10-12

    • A new sign-in screen: your server's own page (OAuth) by default, also a QR code from another device, a backup, or a password with options. Account creation solves the server's proof of work or captcha.
    • At first start the app offers to encrypt your messages, keeping the key in Android's Keystore or the system keyring, with a recovery phrase shown once.
    • Preferences as a dialog on the desktop, with a Calls page to test camera, microphone and speaker; tray and "Stay connected when closed" options; "Use threads" (off by default).
    • The app ID is now im.another.messenger. Desktop moves your data by itself; on Android it is a new app: install it beside the old one and sign in again.
    • Two Android builds: the usual one without Google code, and a "-gms" one that uses Google's push when no UnifiedPush app is installed. Pushes never carry message text.
    • Catching up after hours offline is much faster and keeps the phone cool.
    • Security fixes from a review of the whole app (Android backups, calls on the lock screen, other apps opening chats, sign-in links, contact-request names).

    0.4.6 — 2026-10-12

    • Two themes, Night (default) and Day, with an accent colour of your choice or one from your wallpaper.
    • Typing shows as three dots in the header and the chat list; the whole header opens the contact.
    • Fixes: dropped files reach the chat again; encrypted pictures show inline in Gajim and others; a picture that can't be shown says why.

    0.4.5 — 2026-10-12

    • Security: the fixes of a libtacky security audit (sign-in channel binding, calls, synced trust taken only from verified devices, hardening against malformed input).
    • The "New messages" line sits exactly above the first unread message.
    • About shows the app's and libtacky's commit; all seven languages complete again.

    0.4.4 — 2026-10-12

    • The padlock chooses the encryption: Prefer OMEMO 2 (default), Require OMEMO 2, OMEMO 0.3 only or none; a line warns when a device gets the older version.
    • Your encryption choices and trusted keys follow you to your other devices.
    • Messages from untrusted devices are shown with a warning padlock instead of being dropped.
    • Auto-download files from servers you choose; a "New messages" line in chats; the XML console sends again.

    0.4.3 — 2026-10-12

    • A contact's reinstalled device keeps working with its new key, unless you have verified their devices; then "Accept new key" waits for you.
    • The "Review encryption keys" bar goes away once you've decided.
    • Phone: tapping a chat no longer steals focus from a physical keyboard.

    0.4.2 — 2026-10-12

    • Contacts whose apps sign keys the older way are reached with OMEMO 2 again.

    0.4.1 — 2026-10-11

    • Windows: the app starts again (the first 0.4.0 installer was replaced with this fix).
    • Clicking the open chat keeps the cursor in the message field.

    0.4.0 — 2026-10-10

    • Messages reach people who use OMEMO 2 only (such as Kaidan); the app asks about each new device; the padlock names the OMEMO version; a lock marks each encrypted message.
    • Old messages this device can't read fold into one line a day.
    • Private messages in group chats open as their own chat; contact requests are an ordinary chat with Accept and Decline.
    • New Lucide icons, tidier settings, an About page for bug reports, the app's own title bar on Linux, a better fit on macOS.
    • Phone notifications go through the new push server; catch-up is two to four times faster.
