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.
