desktop: don't copy non-message items when selecting message text (#6993) * desktop: don't copy non-message items when selecting message text Selecting text across messages also copied the text of event/info items (e.g. "connected") that fell inside the selection, even though those items are never highlighted as selected. getSelectedCopiedText emitted text for every merged item between the selection bounds. Event/info items have no msgContent but a non-empty text, so as interior items their text was copied. Skip items whose content has no msgContent - only real messages are copyable. * plans: add 2026-05-20-fix-copy-non-msg-items.md

core: fix /start remote host parser when iface name contains a space (#7025) * core: fix /start remote host parser when iface name contains a space The iface= field used jsonP (which calls takeByteString and strict-decodes the entire remaining input as JSON). When port= followed iface=, the strict decode failed on the trailing data and the text1P fallback stopped at the first space inside the JSON-quoted interface name (e.g. "Ethernet 2"), leaving unparseable junk and producing "Failed reading: empty". Replace jsonP with a bounded quotedP that consumes only up to the closing quote, leaving port=… for the next parser. * plan: document fix for /start remote host iface-with-space parser bug

core, ui: require update for public groups (#7009)
Narasimha-sc (25 May 26)
desktop: fix video playback hang caused by stuck preview snapshot (#6983) * desktop: fix video playback hang caused by stuck preview snapshot Problem: clicking play on a video did nothing when an earlier video's preview generation was stuck — every subsequent VideoPlayer.play() was queued behind it on the shared playerThread. Cause: helper player reuse across previews exhausted the libavcodec h264 frame-buffer pool with --avcodec-hw=none (PR #6924), and the synchronous libvlc snapshots().get() call then hung waiting for a frame that was never decoded. Fix: drop the helper-player pool (release each helper after use) and run preview generation on a dedicated previewThread so a stuck preview can no longer block playback. * plans: add 2026-05-15-fix-video-preview-snapshot-hang.md * desktop: capture preview via callback surface, keep helper pool Follows up on the previous commit (4a964c66). The actual hang was in libvlc's synchronous snapshots().get() on a reused helper, not in the pooling itself. Replace the polling loop with a CallbackVideoSurface (the existing SkiaBitmapVideoSurface) wrapped in withTimeoutOrNull — the wait is bounded, so a non-decoding helper can't block previewThread. Restore the helper-player pool that the previous commit dropped. * plans: update 2026-05-15-fix-video-preview-snapshot-hang.md for final fix

Gate the probe on desktopPlatform.isLinux(). * desktop: fix in-app updater install step on AppImage xdg-open on the downloaded .AppImage opened it in whatever the desktop environment's default handler for the AppImage MIME type is -- usually an archive viewer, which reports 'Archive format not recognized'. The running AppImage was never replaced. Detect $APPIMAGE (set by the AppImage runtime to the path of the running .AppImage file). Copy the downloaded file to a staging file in the target's own directory, mark it executable, then atomic-move it onto $APPIMAGE. Staging in the target directory keeps the final move a same-filesystem rename(2), so an interrupted copy never leaves the running AppImage partially overwritten. On failure (permission denied, target read-only, etc.) fall back to opening the parent directory so the user can install manually -- the same fallback the existing xdg-open path already used. * desktop: fix in-app updater silently failing on aarch64 AppImage The LINUX_AARCH64 githubAssetName had a literal leading space (" simplex-desktop-aarch64.AppImage"), so the exact-name filter in chooseGitHubReleaseAssets never matched the real release asset name "simplex-desktop-aarch64.AppImage". The asset list came back empty and checkForUpdate's early-return at "No assets to download for current system" suppressed the dialog. Same silent-failure pattern as the Windows bug. * plans: justify desktop in-app updater fixes

SimpleX Chat: secure messenger

SimpleX - the first messaging network without user identifiers of any kind (not even random numbers) - 100% private by design! Security assessments by Trail of Bits: 2022: https://simplex.chat/blog/20221108-simplex-chat-v4.2-security-audit-new-website.html 2024: https://simplex.chat/blog/20241014-simplex-network-v6-1-security-review-better-calls-user-experience.html SimpleX Chat features: - quantum resistant end-to-end encrypted messages, with editing, replies and deletion. - disappearing messages with opt-out per contact/group. - message reactions. - delivery receipts, with opt-out per contact or group. - multiple chat profiles, with hidden profiles. - app access and self-destruct passcodes. - incognito mode - unique to SimpleX Chat. - end-to-end encrypted images and files. - voice messages up to 5 minutes – also end-to-end encrypted. - "live" messages – they update for all recipients as you type them, every few seconds - unique to SimpleX Chat. - connect via one-time invitation links or via long-term public addresses. - secret chat groups - only group members know the group exists and who is the member. - end-to-end encrypted audio and video calls. - connection security code verification, for contacts and group members – to protect from man-in-the-middle attacks (e.g. invitation link substitution). - end-to-end encrypted push notifications (they contain only encrypted meta-data, not the actual content). - encrypted portable chat database - you can transfer your chat contacts and history to another device. - all local files and media are encrypted by default. - animated images and "stickers" (e.g., from GIF and PNG files and from 3rd party keyboards). SimpleX Chat advantages: - privacy of your identity, profile, contacts and metadata: unlike any other existing messaging platform, SimpleX uses no phone numbers or any other identifiers assigned to the users - not even random numbers. This protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers. - complete protection against spam and abuse: as you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address. - full ownership, control and security of your data: SimpleX stores all user data on client devices, the messages are only held temporarily on SimpleX relay servers until they are received. - decentralized proxied peer-to-peer network: you can use SimpleX Chat via your own relay servers and still communicate with people using pre-configured or any other SimpleX relay servers. - fully open-source code. You can connect to anybody you know via link or scan QR code (in the video call or in person) and start sending messages instantly - no emails, phone numbers or passwords needed. Your profile and contacts are only stored in the app on your device - relay servers do not have access to this information. All messages are end-to-end encrypted using open-source quantum resistant double-ratchet protocol; the messages are delivered via relay servers using open-source SimpleX Messaging Protocol. Please send us any questions via the app (connect to the team via the app settings!), email [email protected] or submit issues on GitHub (https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues) Ream more about SimpleX Chat at https://simplex.chat Get source code in our GitHub repo: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat Follow us on X/Twitter (@SimpleXChat), Reddit (r/SimpleXChat/) and Mastodon (https://mastodon.social/@simplex) for the latest updates.

More Encrypted Messaging

Matrix
matrix.org

Matrix is a decentralized open network for secure communications, with E2E encryption with Olm and Megolm. Along with the Element client, it supports VOIP + video calling and IM + group chats. Since Matrix has an open specification and Simple pragmatic RESTful HTTP/JSON API it makes it easy to integrates with existing 3rd party IDs to authenticate and discover users, as well as to build apps on top of it.

Signal
signal.org

Probably one of the most popular, secure private messaging apps that combines strong encryption (see Signal Protocol) with a simple UI and plenty of features. It's widely used across the world, and easy-to-use, functioning similar to WhatsApp - with instant messaging, read-receipts, support for media attachments and allows for high-quality voice and video calls. It's cross-platform, open-source and totally free. Signal is recommended by Edward Snowden, and is a perfect solution for most users.

XMPP
xmpp.org

XMPP, also known as Jabber, is an open standard for decentralized messaging that has been widely used for decades. It has actually been the basis upon which WhatsApp, Facebook's Chat and Google's Talk were built, but these companies (eventually) chose to remove the interoperability with other servers. Prominent XMPP clients support OMEMO end-to-end encryption, which is based on the Double Ratchet Algorithm that is used in Signal. For more hands-on information and to register an account you can visit JoinJabber.
