Connect to new contacts The motivation for this change was realising that when we add a new contact, if the Tor plugin has finished publishing its descriptor and stopped polling, we'll never try to connect to that contact via Tor. I decided that instead of making a special case for Tor, we should try to connect to new contacts via all transports. Changes: * Don't register outgoing connections until we've read the incoming tag - this prevents the connection indicator from blinking when connecting to a contact who's removed us * Connect to newly activated contacts using all available transports, without waiting for the poller * Removed device IDs from transport properties, we don't know how we're going to handle multi-device support yet See merge request !135
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.
