which changes expert opinion on the relative hazard of various different vulnerabilities affecting TM's reverse dependencies.) (I hope TM will be able to remain sufficiently nimble to undo a bad decision in the event of some possible future revelation in BlackHat etc. I think most less able users (like me) are at least capable of understanding that everything is tradeoff, and that all we can reasonably ask is that you make careful choices and continually reexamine them. That's very important because it helps less able users to trust that you are thinking hard about all these things. GH 65: Support Unicode paths on WindowsĮven though I don't yet really understand all of the design decisions you explain briefly, I think one of the most promising things about TM is the fact that you are trying to explain design decisions in response to queries from technically able users.Bug 17896: Add Edit menu to the conversation window on OS X.Bug 13312: Add support for OTR over Twitter DMs.Bug 17749: Show version information in the 'About' window.Bug 17494: Better error reporting for failed outgoing messages.Bug 18235: Disable Facebook as they no longer support XMPP.Bug 18094: Remove references to torbutton from start-tor-messenger script.Bug 13795: Remove SPI root certificate because Debian no longer ships it.Here is the complete changelog since v0.1.0b4: At-risk users should not depend on it for their privacy and safety. The purpose of this release is to help test the application and provide feedback. Please note that Tor Messenger is still in beta.

The secure updater will likely be a part of the next release of Tor Messenger. We also plan to add a UI to make importing OTR keys and accounts from Pidgin, and other clients, as easy as possible ( #16526).

In the future, we plan to port Tor Browser's updater patches ( #14388) so that keeping Tor Messenger up to date is seamless and automatic. Please see the following steps to back them up. Before upgrading, back up your OTR keysīefore upgrading to the new release, you will need to back up your OTR keys or simply generate new ones. We hear that an implementation of the new mqtt based protocol is in the works, so we hope to restore this functionality in the future. We had multiple reports from users about this issue and decided that it was best to remove support for Facebook from Tor Messenger. Facebook support droppedįacebook has long officially deprecated their XMPP gateway, and it doesn't appear to work anymore. Any (direct) message you send to another Twitter contact will be sent over OTR provided that both contacts are running Tor Messenger (or another client that supports Twitter DMs and OTR). Simply configure your Twitter account with Tor Messenger and add the Twitter account you want as a contact. Tor Messenger now supports OTR conversations over Twitter DMs (direct messages).

We tried to respond to all your concerns in the comments of the blog post but also collected and aggregated a FAQ of the most common questions. The initial public release was a success in that it garnered a lot of useful feedback. All users are highly encouraged to upgrade. This release features important security updates to libotr, and addresses a number of stability and usability issues. We are pleased to announce another public beta release of Tor Messenger.
