Briar's mailbox status screen used the status API endpoint for its connectivity check. Now, it uses the versions endpoint instead, so that if we've warned the user that Briar and the Mailbox are using incompatible API versions, and the user has upgraded one of the apps to fix the issue, the user can use the "check connection" button in the status screen to check that the issue has been fixed. (This is specifically needed for the case where the user has upgraded the Mailbox, because in the case where the user has upgraded Briar, Briar should automatically check the mailbox's API versions when it comes back online after upgrading.)
Briar
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 information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
