Today we are releasing a new, beta version of Tor Messenger, based on Instantbird [0], an instant messaging client developed in the Mozilla community.
Hell yeah! What was up with the previous (unannounced) beta version that was already lying on dist.torproject.org?
- What's to Come
Our current focus is security, robustness and user experience. We will be fixing bugs and releasing updates as appropriate, and in the future, we plan on pairing releases with Mozilla's Extended Support Release (ESR) cycle. We have some ideas on where to take Tor Messenger but we would like to hear what you have to say. Some possibilities include:
- Reproducible builds for Windows and OS X (#10942)
- Sandboxing (#10943)
- Automatic updates (#14388)
- Improved Tor support (#10950)
- OTR over Twitter DMs (#13312)
- Produce (and distribute) internationalized builds (#10945)
- Secure multi-party communication (np1sec) [8]
- Encrypted file-transfers
- Usability study
I would like to see OMEMO (based on Axolotl) get more adoption. Right now Conversations is the only messenger I know which implements it, but it would be cool if I could also use it with Tor Messenger. http://conversations.im/omemo/
