#cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-collision detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :)


if someone has an unused #iPhone 5s or an #iPhone 6 in their drawer - i would happily take that for #deltachat #ios development and testing with iOS 12

(newer phones probably do not help on the current iOS 12 issue - but maybe on comparable issues in the future. older phones are not supported anyways)


How many people do you know that have lost their messaging history on Whatsapp or Signal, photos etc during mobile phone transitions or breakage or through other shenenigans?

With #deltachat you can:

- export "everything" to a file and import it on any of the many different devices

- or just setup a second device through a QR code scan -- which was happily discovered here after an accidental factory reset https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2066-0695-ca24-081964494389


The last #deltachat 1.44 release round did not only contain a lot of UI/UX milestones but also 20 security fixes based on a deep analysis from Yuanming Song and colleagues of the Applied Cryptography group at ETH Zuerich https://delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypto-analysis-securejoin


does @delta@chaos.social have a flyer or similar that one can just print out that explains the concept in simple terms for the layperson?

#DeltaChat


checking #deltachat #iOS 1.44.1 before starting a testflight. no good camera left to take the photo :)

the update comes with quite some long awaited UI fixes - and PUSH notifications got a preview now


#deltachat #iOS 1.44.1 is now available on https://testflight.apple.com/join/uEMc1NxS - including PUSH notifications showing previews

nb: the preview is generated on the device, using normal message fetch from your server. everything's still end-to-end-encrypted 🔒


Once upon ...

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

... but now #DeltaChat #Android catches up, allowing all the things as well :)


#deltachat just got four major usability improvements as the 1.44 releases are rolling out
💗 Reactions on all platforms
💗 iOS Push notifications
💗 Multi-account desktop sidebar
💗 share invite links via other messengers. Enjoy :)

New release 1.4.0 of DeltaTouch, now in the OpenStore.

Features:
👍 Reactions! Long press a message to react with an emoji.
💠 Many small bugfixes, adjustments and refactorings.

Full list of changes in the changelog, see https://codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG

#DeltaTouch #DeltaChat #UbuntuTouch


For the next #deltachat version on iOS: we are on a good path to solving the long-standing iOS push notification problems.

For chat mail instances, we plan to provide instant push notifications over our push relay, and for all other providers, #deltachat_ios will be woken up at regular intervals to fetch new messages (In a perfect world, that could be a 20-min interval or less)

Though, it would still be better if Apple had an API to just allow us to keep the IMAP IDLE network connection open.🤔


When having multiple accounts, do you want to be able to control whether they are connected to the email server in the background?

This is not about muting accounts, that will come anyway in the upcoming #deltachat_desktop 1.44 release (soon).

This is about being able to decide that (a) specific account(s) should not connect to the email server when an other account is selected.

Reclaiming Peer-to-Peer Web technology with #webxdc out of the ashes of "Web3": our 2024 opening post on the topic :) https://delta.chat/en/2024-02-15-webxdc-m3

Psst: we are looking for more folks experienced with Web app development with a knack for P2P technology .... #deltachat


Got back to writing. Today I'd like to share a little behind-the-scenes story. Here's how mailchat.pl came to be:

#PrivacyMatters #chatmail #DeltaChat


🔔 The next version will also bring multi account notifications to desktop.

🔕 You will also be able to mute accounts so you don't need to mute all chats by hand in your casual mailing list account.

For macOS users we removed the window titlebar, inspired by a popular proprietary gaming chat app. I think it looks quite cool now 😄

#deltachat #deltachat_desktop


can you configure a mail server to reject any emails not send by a Deltachat client? Or on an account level with sieves or the like?

@delta@chaos.social#deltachat


nine.testrun.org is really fast*, shows what email could be.

*(sub-second roundtrips)
#chatmail #deltachat


Updated the time tracking #webxdc app again with a few smaller bug fixes.
And the experimental autocompletion for labels to the edit- and create-page.

new version number is 0.8.0.

You can get it from github or from xstore@testrun.org (right inside of #deltachat).


Working on a more usable multi-account experience in #deltachat_desktop

In the future versions you will be able to switch between accounts more easily while staying informed about new messages from all accounts.

> Leider steht uns gegenwärtig keine Möglichkeit offen, Threema Push für iOS zu implementieren, doch wir hoffen, dass Apple die Einschränkungen, welche das verhindern, überdenken wird.

Das hätte #deltachat auch gerne. Es existiert eine api um eigene push notification services zu machen, aber die ist nur auf hardcoded private LTE/WIFI Netzwerk ids limitiert:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/neapppushmanager

Kann auch sein dass ich das missverstehe, aber das scheint zu sein was wir wollen.


@DrMarkussi @wuethrich @98e028dw Naja, man kann jetzt ja darüber streiten, ob #briar unsicher ist, weil es z.B. anders als #DeltaChat kein iOS Client, keine SprachNachrichten und keine MuktiDevice Funktion hat... Oder ob es nicht vielleicht genau andersrum ist ;-) Aber witziger Ansatz mit den Punkten um das irgendwie zu ranken.


Today, we are unveiling chatmail services, making onboarding with #deltachat a breeze, with peace of mind.

#chatmail marks a major milestone, answering the practical question of "where can i get a deltachat-ready account" for myself and friends?

Friends from #iroh released https://dumbpipe.dev today.

A simple pipe to pipe bytes over the network leveraging #iroh_net.

#iroh_net also powers the simple multi device setup that we have in #deltachat. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-e758AYkmA)

#deltachat is the most universal among them 💌


even though "Add Second Device" is still marked as being #experimental, it is quite solid and has been field-tested for half a year!

if you ever wanted to know about the underlying technology, here is @flub explaining how #iroh is used in #deltachat -

Release progress at : https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3566

The update is available everywhere, besides flathub which will take it bit longer. (help appreciated if you want it faster 🙂: https://github.com/flathub/chat.delta.desktop/pull/123).

Do not upgrade yet if you use "mail.163.com", they implement IMAP strangely so a recent optimisation in Delta Chat broke support: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/5043
