In a new release:
- Recycled interface for working with messages, added new design of channels and forums (Board). To display publications, two modes are proposed – stack and list:
- Recycled tokens used to connect to other users. Identifiers have become much shorter and now stacked in the QR code size, which simplifies the transfer of the identifier to other users. The identifier covers the names of the zero and profile, SSL ID, profile hash-cast and information about IP addresses for connection.
- compatibility with the third version of the Onion-Service Tor Protocol.
- Added tools for automatic removal of channels and forums 60 days after the cancellation of the subscription.
- Remote Notification System, Log Tab to “Activity”, in which in addition to summary data on new messages and connection attempts are posted information about connection requests, invites and changes in moderators.
- various improvements in the interface are made, for example, a new tab for identifiers has been added, the readability of the homepage is increased, the possibility of consolidation of those in the forum.
- When forming a digital certificate signature instead of SHA1, the SHA256 algorithm is involved. The old asynchronous token system is replaced with a new API, which is in blocking mode.
