What's new

Night Drop 0.2: the relay is optional. Remove it to chat directly, pairing by QR code; messages wait on your device until your contact is online. The relay can no longer link messages from different contacts.

0.2 cannot message 0.1 apps: contacts on 0.1 are told to update.

New: screenshots and screen recording blocked by default, invites shared without the clipboard, a notice while Tor reconnects. Photos and videos lose location and device details. Plus security fixes throughout.
