Konofix Chat 0.5.3 — stable WAN private chat and files

This stable release promotes the exact 0.5.3-rc.2 candidate after field confirmation that private conversations and file transfers work. The source and Windows package remain bound to commit 0e735d057a6cdc0012000162d6c471ebe8e48761.

What changed

  • private conversations work for participants discovered through public WORLD relays;
  • relay-only file offers are end-to-end encrypted, explicitly accepted and SHA-256 verified before saving;
  • stale relay identities left after an update, reinstall or restart are retired in favor of the newest announced session;
  • late goodbye and encrypted events from superseded sessions are rejected;
  • native libp2p remains the preferred route whenever a direct or circuit connection is available.

File-size behavior

  • encrypted WORLD-relay fallback files are limited to 2 MiB;
  • directly connected libp2p peers retain the existing streamed transfer path and its larger limit;
  • the fallback cap protects public relays from large replicated ciphertext bursts and avoids presenting an unreliable large-file path as successful.

Verification

  • Windows CI, Linux Node CI and RustSec passed for the exact release commit;
  • Windows restart stress passed 24/24;
  • the installed-app smoke test and sealed release-archive verification passed;
  • a live four-relay test passed bidirectional private messages, an accepted encrypted file, byte reassembly and saved acknowledgement;
  • the tester confirmed working private conversations and file transfers on the release candidate on 11 October 2026.
