Today we are releasing Cwtch 1.15!
This release features new alpha support for Managed Groups i.e. peer-hosed Cwtch groups, which use the p2p Cwtch protocol rather than the legacy groups.
We have also fixed Cwtch on newer version of Tails, improved the UX around importing unencrypted profiles, and improved rendering of markdown formatting and image previews.
We are also trailing two new release formats: a signed windows installer, and .deb package.

@npub18v4…38nt No, this is not a legitimate cwtch website - this is an issue we have seen before with bing/ddg (https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/111852245987954954)

Back in September we released Cwtch 1.13, the first version of Cwtch to be labelled as stable, and a major milestone in Cwtch development.
With the Cwtch interface now stable, we are in a position to begin a new phase in Cwtch development: a Path towards Hybrid Groups.

Today we are releasing Cwtch 1.13!
Cwtch is a communication application (and associated libraries) that uses Tor v3 Onion Services to establish surveillance resistant channels between people.
Cwtch 1.13 is the culmination of the last few years of effort by the Cwtch team, and is the first release that meets our bar to be labelled a Cwtch Stable release candidate.
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped Cwtch get this far.
