The P2P-messenger Communist 2.0 and library libcommunist 1.0 have been released, which include features related to network operations and P2P communication. It supports operation both on the Internet and in local networks of various configurations. The project code is distributed under the GPLv3 license and is available on GitHub (Communist, libcommunist) and GitFlic (Communist, libcommunist). It supports operation on Linux and Windows.
To establish a connection between users in Communist, a combination of a distributed hash table (a DHT variant intended for torrent clients) and UDP hole punching techniques (for interaction with hosts behind address translators) is used. IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are supported. Messages can be sent through relays (see documentation). All data is stored on the user's machine in encrypted form and is also transmitted encrypted. The AES standard and the ed25519 digital signature scheme are used for encryption.
Az új verzióban található változások:
- All network capabilities have been moved to the library libcommunist.
- The messaging relay functionality has been added (szerver and client).
- A general code reorganization has been conducted.
- Version 2.0 is incompatible with previous versions (user profile recreation is required).
