🧅 TorChat v1.1.0 — The "Identity & Stability" Update
Welcome to the first major evolution of TorChat! This update isn't just about bug fixes; it’s about making the app feel like a real communication tool.
What’s New?
👤 You can now set a Username before joining a chat. Your identity is securely bundled into the encrypted handshake.
📦 Smarter Data Handling: i've moved to a JSON Protocol. Under the hood, your messages are now structured "packets." This makes the chat more reliable and allows us to build cool stuff like typing indicators online offline status in grp chats in the next version.
⏱️ Better Connectivity: since Tor network needs a moment to "wake up." The app now guides you to wait 30 seconds so your peer doesn't get a connection error.
