New polling logic for Bluetooth. #251 Increase the polling interval exponentially each time polling is unsuccessful, up to a maximum of 60 minutes. The interval is reset to 2 minutes whenever a connection is made and whenever Bluetooth is re-enabled. This should reduce battery usage when there are no contacts nearby. Fixes #251. See merge request !104
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.
