Install

Not every release rebuilds every platform. The Artifacts table
above says which of these were built here and which are the last
release's, re-attached unchanged - a download whose file name
carries an older version is that, and it is the current build for
its platform.

Desktop (Windows) — BetweenUs-0.0.1-alpha.13-Setup.exe
installs; -Portable.exe needs nothing.

Android — take the APK matching your device (arm64-v8a unless it is
old or an emulator), or universal if you would rather not choose. The
.aab is for Play, not for sideloading.

Server — docker-compose.yml, nginx.conf and backup.sh below are a
deployment folder. Put them beside your existing .env and:

docker compose --env-file .env pull
docker compose --env-file .env up -d

Same project name, same volumes, same .env as a built deployment, so an
existing server keeps its database and its uploads. BETWEENUS_VERSION in
.env overrides the pinned version; unset, this bundle stays on
0.0.1-alpha.13.

aiyuayaan/betweenus:<service>-0.0.1-alpha.13, built for

Apple silicon Mac pulls the same name and gets its own architecture. The moving
tags <service>-alpha and <service>-latest are
pointed at it as the last step of the run.

v0.0.1-alpha.12

Features

• Repaint a changed picture, name or server without a restart
• Repaint a changed picture or name where it already is
• Announce a changed profile or server, rather than let it go stale

• Draw several photos as one album, not several attachments
• Draw messages the way a phone messenger draws them
• Offer a way back down when the conversation is scrolled up
• Let the sheets take their colour from the scheme

• Repaint the entry, friends and settings screens
• Redraw the conversation
• Move the shell onto the scheme, and give it motion
• Rebuild the shared controls in the expressive language
• Give the client a Material 3 Expressive theme
• Seen-by faces on a message, and swipe a row to reply
• Draw who has seen a message, and reply on a double click
• Say who has read a message, derived from the read markers
• Hold a call when another one takes the audio, and say so
• Say when the connection is down, and stop retrying after 30s

Bug fixes

• Pad connection banner for status bar insets and consume them in shell
• Give the drawer a fixed gutter, not a fraction of the screen
• Make the status dot subscribe to statuses rather than to a function
• Give the drawer a third of the row rather than half
• Split the row down the middle, and make a swipe prove it is one
• Make the call screen readable, and let the chrome leave downwards
• Give the gutter to the drawer by moving the gesture, not guarding it
• Size the composer's buttons to the bar they are in
• Give the left edge to the drawer, the message to the reply

• Catch up after the background, and stop the drawer stealing the swipe

v0.0.1-alpha.3

Features

• Publish the service images for arm64 as well as amd64

Bug fixes

• Repair action refs mangled by the arm64 patch script

Other changes

• Betweenus is also available on arm docs

Install

Desktop (Windows) — BetweenUs-0.0.1-alpha.3-Setup.exe
installs; -Portable.exe needs nothing.

Android — take the APK matching your device (arm64-v8a unless it is
old or an emulator), or universal if you would rather not choose. The
.aab is for Play, not for sideloading.

Server — docker-compose.yml, nginx.conf and backup.sh below are a
deployment folder. Put them beside your existing .env and:

docker compose --env-file .env pull
docker compose --env-file .env up -d

Same project name, same volumes, same .env as a built deployment, so an
existing server keeps its database and its uploads. BETWEENUS_VERSION in
.env overrides the pinned version; unset, this bundle stays on
0.0.1-alpha.3.

Images

aiyuayaan/betweenus:<service>-0.0.1-alpha.3, built for
linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 under one tag - a 64-bit Pi, an Ampere VPS or an
Apple silicon Mac pulls the same name and gets its own architecture. The moving
tags <service>-alpha and <service>-latest are
pointed at it as the last step of the run.
