Testing upcomming Desktop 1.3.2 Release

Simon · May 1, 2020, 7:53am

We have a new desktop release in the pipeline, featuring:

Pinned Chats

Scan QR codes with the system webcam to join Groups and verify contacts
(and fallbacks that use the qrcode-data instead for the case that no webcam is available):

load image from file
paste qr code data
open qrcode data as url (openpgp4fpr urls; such as “Manual link” on the “login with deltachat” page)

change (nick-)name of contacts

Full changelog: deltachat-desktop/CHANGELOG.md at main · deltachat/deltachat-desktop · GitHub

Now we need your help to to test this release, to make sure it runs smoothly enough to put it out in the wild (onto the download page) .
You can report the bugs you found either on github or under this post.
We already know about these bugs, so you don’t have to report them again:

appimage can’t open qrcode data urls.

Update:
We have a new release with fixes: 1.3.1
