SimpleX Chat v5.1.2 fixing message reception bug is released to GutHub, our F-Droid and on App Store. Play Store release is in review, and the main F-Droid will be updated in a couple of days. Thanks for the patience and sorry for the trouble!

Message delivery issue in v5.1, possible temporary workarounds until we fix. We just confirmed that there is some message delivery bug in v5.1, working to diagnose the root cause and to fix it. The symptom is that the messages are stopped being received by some contacts (and group members), and some users say it happens in 2 days after establishing the connection. Possible temporary workarounds, until we fix (either of these works): - downgrade the app to 5.0 (you will be asked to confirm downgrade on start, and reactions will be lost, but it will work) - all stuck messages are delivered. After upgrading back to v5.1 disrupted contacts continue to work - difficult to say for how long. It would be great if anybody could confirm that this worked for you, as we only could confirm it on one device so far. - create a new connection with the same contact - it seems to work for 2 days. Certainly do not install v5.1 if you have a choice, looking if it's possible to temporarily pull v5.1 from app stores. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for all your support!

Poll: Message expiration on SMP relays When the messages are delivered they are instantly removed from the relay memory. If the messages are not delivered (e.g., the recipient never connects to the relay to receive the messages) they are kept up to 30 days.

The experimental support for SimpleX File Transfer Protocol to send videos and large files up to 1gb is now available! See this post about XFTP:

SimpleX File Transfer Protocol - a new protocol for sending large files efficiently, privately and securely.

On my fast internet it takes 3 sec to send 25mb and 2 min to send 1gb. Please note: currently the network settings are not used for sending files - it will be improved in the next version. This version also fixes many bugs, in particular the bugs specific to ARMv7a 32bit devices. #privacy #security #messenger
