Release @quiet/mobile@2.0.0 · TryQuiet/quiet

2.0.0 (2024-01-09)

To let users join when the owner is offline we made changes that broke backwards compatibility, so you will need to create a new community and re-invite members. Need help migrating? [email protected]

Users can join a community when its owner is offline. This was a big one!
Desktop and mobile users can send markdown messages. (Thanks again @josephlacey!)
Desktop users can now export chats to a text file. (Thanks @rajdip-b!)

Prettier message loading indicator on mobile
Better descriptions of the joining process
Validation of community metadata and certificates
A real iOS launch screen (so long, "Powered by React Native"!)
A nice splash screen on mobile until the joining/creating screens are ready
Clearer autoupdate language in the update modal, so users know that the app will update on restart

Mobile apps should no longer crash on restart.
Joining community no longer gets stuck on "initiating backend modules."
Invalid peer addresses in peer list are now filtered out, and peer list is updated in localdb.
Peers now dial new users without having to restart.
Up/down arrows are now working properly inside channel input. (Thanks @josephlacey!)
Long messages are no longer truncated in channelInput component.
Users can change between "join community" and "create community" screens without errors about a missing required field.
On iOS, there's more weird empty space between the input field and the soft keyboard.
The UI for users already in a community joining a new community is no longer misleading, so users will not accidentally leave a community by opening a new invite link.
Desktop settings now open the "invite" tab by default, as they were meant to.
We now initialize electron-store after setting appData to prevent creating an empty "Quiet" data directory.

Quiet now labels duplicate unregistered usernames
Quiet shows an full-screen warning for duplicate registered usernames, since these should never happen and indicate a potential compromise.
For authenticating connections, Quiet now uses libp2p's Pre-shared Key Based Private Networks instead of X.509 certificates so peers can connect before registering.
