Release of Protox 1.6, the Tox client for mobile platforms

Submitted by ΠΎΠ±Π½ΠΎΠ²Π»Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Protox, a mobile application for messaging between users without the participation of a server, implemented on the basis of the protocol Tox (with-toxcore). This update is aimed at improving the client and its use. Currently, only the Android platform is supported. The project is looking for iOS developers to port the application to Apple smartphones. The program is an alternative to Tox-clients Anthox ΠΈ Trifa. Project Code spreads under the MIT license. Application assemblies are distributed under the GPLv3 license.

List of changes:

  • Added proxy support.
  • Added the ability to load history when scrolling.
  • Added custom names for friends.
  • Bug fixed: TCP mode (when "Enable UDP" switch is off) did not always work.
  • Added a smooth transition for the "Friend is typing" indicator and fixed minor issues with it.
  • Fixed wrong implementation of toxcore timer.
  • Added the function to save the last profile to the configuration file when it is selected.
  • Bug fixed: File messages were not considered temporary when the "Keep chat history" toggle was disabled.
  • Added the ability to copy friend settings from the friend info menu to the clipboard.
  • Added animations to some menus.
  • Improved file notifications.
  • Added the ability to automatically receive files.
  • Improved login speed.
  • Images in file messages now have a limited height so that images that are too large do not take up much space in the chat history. Images that are too tall are cropped so that the entire image is visible, with a gradient to indicate that the image has been shortened.
  • Added support for uploading multiple files at the same time (build with qt 5.15.1 only).
  • Added animated dots to the "Friend is typing" indicator.
  • Added "Reply" button to message alerts, allowing you to write and send a reply directly in alerts.
  • Added the ability to scan a QR code with an external program to fill in the Tox ID field without typing on the keyboard.
  • Fixed interface slowdowns when receiving files.
