Forum Sharing Client Backend This MR replaces the old `ForumSharingManagerImpl` with a new one which is based on state machines and the `ProtocolEngine`. There is a `SharerEngine` and a `InviteeEngine` that take care of state transitions, messages, events and trigger actions to be carried out by the `ForumSharingManagerImpl`. This is all very similar to the Introduction Client. The general sharing paradigm has been changed from sharing as a state to sharing as an action. Now the UI can allow users to invite contacts to forums. The contacts can accept or decline the invitation. Also, the Forum Sharing Manager is notified when users leave a forum. Please note that you will need the UI to actually test this. It is coming up soon in another MR. Closes #322 See merge request !170
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.
