Version 1.2.0

The highlight of this version is support for Channels and Boards.

Channels

Channels are a way to publish files, with descriptive text or even long articles.

Boards can be used to share picture or links.

Pasted URLs in direct chats now feature a preview.

To avoid abuse, only friends that you trust to a Full level, will show a preview.

Also stops grabbing the focus for every incoming message on some setups.

Forum groups can be edited.
All messages can be marked as read or unread.
Paging support: vastly improved loading and less memory usage. The message list is loaded on demand.
Unsubscribed forums have statistics showing up (number of posts, last update, …)
Forum message links can be opened directly.
Own messages can be edited. Xeres now handles multiple versions of messages.

The General eXchange System has been improved in the following ways:

Implemented the security requirements for GXS which allows each service to specify exactly what it needs instead of having to hardcode it manually.
Synchronization is immediately performed and is throttled to avoid overflowing the connection.
Fixed GXS group service strings being wrongly transferred. This fix will also be in the next release of Retroshare.
Fixed missing group admin signature validation on GXS groups. This fix will also be in the next release of Retroshare.

Added a Chinese translation.

Add support for reading images in WebP and BMP.
Use ZGC for the garbage collector. Uses half the memory and improves performances.
Stickers stored locally can now use WebP and SVG.
Logging is improved and isn’t cleared when upgrading/reinstalling.
Improved detection of unsafe URLs.
The macOS x86-64 version has been removed due to lack of support
