Desktop 1.0.3 fixes video on a call placed after a group call — the two shared
one peer connection, the second call opened a second video section, and the two
H264 profiles collided, so the call carried sound and no picture. It also ships
the STUN and TURN list this client uses, which is what lets a browser and a
desktop agree on a path instead of one of them offering no relay at all.
The version lives in two places on this side (the landing page and the download
grid), and the consistency test also reads the README badge, the changelog and
the cryptography document, so all of them move together.
Riding along: the group status dot now takes its colour from the theme in the
call and group views, which is what the desktop's copy of groupsStore.js was
compared against.

The palette lived as ~620 hex literals in inline styles plus a few hundred more in
the stylesheets, so there was no single thing to change. It is now 113 custom
properties in src/styles/theme.css, in two blocks.
src/scripts/theme-boot.js decides the theme before first paint — blocking, in <head>,
above the stylesheet, because a deferred script paints dark first and corrects itself.
It stores the mode ('system' | 'light' | 'dark'), never the colour it resolved to, and
stamps data-theme so an explicit choice can beat the media query. The switcher in the
header is a view onto it.
A filled accent stays the brand colour in both themes — the ink on it is near-black
either way — while an accent used as text darkens to clear 4.5:1 on white. A colour
reaches a fill by four routes (a style property, a constant, a helper argument, an SVG
source string), and tests/theme-switching.test.mjs covers all four.
The dark theme is unchanged: every colour declaration the previous build produced comes
out of this one identically once the properties are resolved.
Also: the roadmap drops its status chips on mobile, and Roadmap.jsx no longer splits a
colour with parseInt at runtime, which a var() reference cannot survive.
The bundles carried all thirteen translations at once and a page fetched them a
third time as raw source; each page now loads only its own language. Alongside
that: JavaScript is minified, the eight stylesheets are served as one file, the
QR scanner is fetched after the app is up instead of on every visit, Inter ships
once rather than five copies of the same file, and Font Awesome is subset to the
82 icons this app draws instead of all 2468.
1.85 MB across 43 requests becomes under 700 KB across 33. On mobile the page
starts drawing in 1.6 s instead of 6.3 s and is usable in 4.5 s instead of 11 s.
Pages also carry their text in the HTML now. Everything was drawn by JavaScript
into an empty div, so crawlers saw correct metadata around nothing, and twelve of
the thirteen language pages had never been shown to anyone. The documentation is
published under /docs/ with a new FAQ, and unknown addresses return a real 404.
Separately: the localized shells were served with the year-long immutable cache
header meant for static assets, which pinned anyone who opened /de/ or /ru/ to
that build. The header is fixed and the service worker refreshes what it cached.

No protocol or message-protection changes.
The version in the application header was a literal and had fallen behind,
showing v5.6.0 while running 5.7.1. It now comes from package.json, and a test
fails if a hard-coded one reappears or if meta.json, the README badge, the
changelog and the docs disagree about the release.
Documentation reorganised so that everything technical lives in doc/ with an
index, and the root keeps only what belongs there by convention: README,
SECURITY, CHANGELOG and LICENSE.
- SECURITY.md rewritten. It listed a supported release line three major versions
out of date and made claims the software does not make. It now states what is
guaranteed, what is not, and how to report a problem.
- SECURITY_DISCLAIMER.md and RESPONSIBLE_USE.md merged into doc/USE-POLICY.md,
which says what the software cannot protect against rather than listing
generic advice.
- doc/SECURITY-ARCHITECTURE.md renamed to doc/ARCHITECTURE.md and rewritten
around the session lifecycle, what verification gates, and how recovery works.
- doc/CRYPTOGRAPHY.md rewritten: key schedule, the Double Ratchet, framing, and
memory handling, with values taken from the source rather than restated.
- doc/CONFIGURATION.md rewritten with the real file-type policy, ICE and TURN
guidance, and the deployment caching rules that matter.
- docs/webrtc-config.md moved to doc/CALLS.md and rewritten; the obsolete
docs/webrtc-audit.md, a working document full of stale line numbers, removed
along with the docs/ directory.
- doc/CONTRIBUTING.md records what the recent regressions taught us about
writing tests that can actually fail.
- doc/README.md added as an index.
Internal security review notes are excluded from the repository via .gitignore.
Those describe attack paths against specific releases in enough detail to
reproduce them, which is useful privately and harmful in public while users are
still updating.
Add 1:1 voice and video calling over the existing SAS-verified peer
connection. Audio and video tracks ride the same RTCPeerConnection as the
chat, bundled onto one DTLS-SRTP transport, so media inherits the session's
end-to-end encryption. SDP offer/answer is renegotiated in-band over the
verified data channel — no signalling server, so the media's DTLS
fingerprints are authenticated end-to-end. Calls are gated on a connected,
SAS-verified session.
Codecs & adaptation:
- Opus tuned for lossy links (in-band FEC, DTX, RED redundancy); audio is
bandwidth-prioritised and never throttled.
- VP9/AV1 single-encoding SVC with H.264/VP8 fallback; video degrades by
spatial/temporal layer.
- Runtime NetworkAdaptationController trims video bitrate on loss/RTT and
recovers as the link clears — no renegotiation. Live connection-quality
indicator (Excellent/Good/Fair/Weak) in the call UI.
In-call controls: mute, camera on/off (voice→video upgrade in-band),
camera flip, minimize-to-widget, hang up, and accept/decline for incoming
calls. Production logging disabled (DEBUG_MODE=false); temporary call
diagnostic logger removed. Codec rationale in docs/webrtc-config.md.
