- Android APK download, served from securebit.chat (/downloads/, never committed): a "Download Android APK" badge next to the Snap Store one, drawn for both themes, and an Android entry in the download menu (recommended on Android devices). nginx serves .apk as an attachment; the service worker leaves /downloads/ alone. The APK version is one constant in three places, checked by tests/desktop-download-links.test.mjs. - Roadmap versions follow the real releases: Group Communications v6.0 shipped, Mobile Edition v6.8 is current, Quantum-Resistant v7.0 is in development (2027), then v8.0 and v9.0. - "Download desktop app" is now "Download the app"; the "You're on Web" pill in the download menu is gone.

Keeping this accurate
These documents describe the current release and are expected to change with it. Every value quoted here (limits, timeouts, algorithm parameters) is taken from the source rather than restated from memory, so if you change one in code, change it here in the same commit. CONTRIBUTING.md lists which documents are affected by which areas of the code.
