qTox is a chat, voice, video, and file transfer IM client using the encrypted peer-to-peer Tox protocol.
This release addresses a security issue for Windows users. When installing to non-default locations, qTox now ensures that the install directory permissions are restricted.
This is the first release since v1.17.4 due to a deploy issue with v1.17.5.
Automatically built off the the last commit pushed. Please report any issues found.
Warning: may upgrade your chat history and settings in a backwards incompatible way. Backup your chat history and .ini settings files prior to testing so that you can revert to the last release version in the case of issues.
Update deps for Windows, macOS, Flatpak, AppImage to address Toxcore's CVE-2021-44847
Fixes qTox not starting on macOS Big Sur, and updates dependencies for Windows, Flatpak, and macOS.
Note that all signatures of the binaries are validation that these are the release binaries, but are not validation of the binary contents. Because our binaries cannot be reproduced in an identical way, we cannot cryptographically verify the builds made by Travis CI that are present here.
This is the first published release since 1.16.3, due to deploy issues with v1.17.0 and v1.17.1.
This is a fixup of our AppImage and Flatpak deployments for 1.16.0. No code changed.
