Highlights (Beacon)

• BEACON / МАЯК — LAN mesh file library: publish seeds, multi-peer download (up to 6 peers), pause/resume seeding, blip://seed/… links, .blip descriptors, transfer hub.
• Chat — receipts (✓/✓✓), reactions, LAN images & files (up to 100 GB), reply/forward/pin, Ctrl+F search, export, typing indicator.
• Calls — separate 1:1 and group windows, WebRTC voice/video, 720p+ screen share, voice channels in groups.
• Signal Corps — shared Pad, Board, Canvas, LAN clipboard (Projects hub).
• Mesh Pulse — live latency under each peer, presence, custom status line.
• Look — pixel brutalism × liquid glass, light/dark/auto, 16 accents, animated backgrounds, full EN / RU UI.

---

Fixed in 1.1.1

• BEACON publish — large files and ZIP archives ingest via main-process disk read (fixes renderer NotReadableError).
• DM file transfer — main-process send from path, 1 MiB chunks, serialized TCP write queue.
• BEACON throughput — serve chunks from main, parallel disk writes, publish overlay in Downloads tab.
• Call/stream quality — higher RTP bitrates, maintain-resolution on camera and screen share.
• Windows auto-update — unsigned NSIS installers download and install correctly (latest.yml on this release).

---

Install & update

1. New install — run BLIP-Setup-1.1.1.exe, pick BLIP ID 1–64 on the 8×8 grid.
2. From 1.1.0 Setup — in-app update if latest.yml is attached to this release.
3. From Portable — replace the .exe; check Releases manually.

---

Quick test (two machines)

Same Wi‑Fi or VPN (Hamachi / Radmin). Two copies on one PC will not work (ports 42069/42070). Use a second device or a VM with bridged network.

BLIP [1.1.1] — Beacon

Fixed

BEACON

Large file publishing no longer fails with:

"could not be read"

Publishing ZIP archives, videos, installers and other heavy files is now handled directly in the main process instead of loading the entire file into renderer memory.

This significantly improves:

• stability during publishing
• memory usage
• large asset compatibility
• long-running seed sessions

---

Upgrade

From	Action
1.1.0 Setup	Settings → Updates → Check, or wait for auto-update at startup (requires latest.yml in this release)
1.1.0 Portable	Download the new Portable or Setup from Assets

---
