there was an issue with OpenSSL in 1.54.2 (core 1.156.1), which is fixed with the just released and currently rolled out 1.54.3.

with chance, this also fixes your issue :slight_smile:

thanks for the quick reply
so I’m looking forward to the next upgrade and hope that it works smoothly again, as it has since 2018.

If you have a version from Google Play installed, you can upgrade directly from https://download.delta.chat/android/deltachat-gplay-release-1.54.3.apk without waiting.

thanks for the tip,
I don’t use the playstore versions and google has no access to my devices :no_entry_sign:
my playstore is f-droid and for me that’s quite enough :wink:

I just saw that the latest release on github is 1.54.0.

where does the version 1.54.2 in F-Droid come from?

thanks a lot for writing this here - this issue took me few hours to troubleshoot before i realized its probably a delta chat which was broken, as stated before, 1.54.3 actually solves the problem.

just out of curiosity, how does one downgrade? f-droid doesn’t seem to support this currently, and i am afraid to uninstall and to loose the encryption keys.

yes realy, 1.54.3 solved the problem for me and “my” users …
Downgrade only works with root.
I doesn’t use phones without root , it is my phone …

You can export a backup before downgrading. Or better setup Delta Chat on desktop and transfer your profile there so you can see it is working.
