Transport properties client. #229 This branch moves support for exchanging transport properties from the sync layer to the client layer. Local properties are stored in an unshared group. When a contact is added, the latest local properties are copied into a group shared with the contact. Whenever the local properties are updated, they're copied into the groups shared with all contacts. The transport update messages include a unique device ID that prevents collisions between local and remote messages, and will be used in future for multi-device support. See merge request !80
Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
