Release date: 02/12/2023

v.2.0.0011 is an interim release of Pigeon. The application has been built from the bottom and up. If a pop-up message displays "This version of Signal has expired", it is an error message; the version of Pigeon has expired. Please ensure to back up your conversations before uninstalling and reinstalling Pigeon.
