Status Desktop - alpha.1

The second alpha release of Desktop is here!

Please note that this version is an alpha meant for testing purposes by core contributors and the community. It's not meant for real use and makes no claims of security or integrity of funds or data in these builds.

We plan to release every 1-2 weeks. Please report issues/bugs in the #desktop channel or at https://github.com/status-im/nim-status-client/issues

mac users: on first run, you need to right click -> open (due to new apple requirements for notarization); if in the applications folder, then you need to manually open the folder, right click -> open

Window: coming soon

Notes:

  • Important: This version still overrides your current data folder, if you want to use the same data folder, make sure to back up. you can open the status folder, copy the data folder and then replace the new one after installing the new version
  • Ensure there is no existing status app running (like status-rn-desktop, ios simulator running status mobile, etc…)
  • Ensure the firewall is allowing the status app
  • There is sometimes (albeit much more rarely now) an hang after login, if this happens, quit the app and try again. (also let us know please)

Some Highlights since previous version:

  • overall UI improvements as per feedback
  • misc performance & stability improvements
  • play sounds for sending messages, errors
  • support searching & starting chats with ENS usernames
  • messages: clickable URL links, clickable chat channel links,
  • fix issue importing seed/account
  • fix fonts so status-inter is only used for addresses and accounts
  • show if a message was sent
  • wallet: send modal supports selecting tokens
  • display ENS usernames in areas previously hardcoded (e.g profile popups)
  • copy-to-clipboard functionality
  • show recently used stickers
  • fix mailserver call which could cause client to hang after login
  • initial support to switch themes (Dark Theme coming soon)
  • the QML is now bundled which improves app speed among other benefits
