Pigeon release note 2.0.0022Updated 2 months ago

Release date: 16/12/2024

Version 2.0.0022 has been released to address the issue of the pop-up message displaying "This version of Signal has expired," which was caused by the expiration of the Pigeon build.
Important:
Before proceeding with the uninstall and installation of the new version, please ensure you perform a full backup of your data to avoid any loss. To back up your chats, go to Pigeon > Settings > Chats > Chat backups, turn the backup feature on and save your backup passphrase.
Once the backup is complete, uninstall Pigeon from the Applications Manager and then install the new version.

Changes

• Expired Build Reminder Update: The pop-up notification for expired builds has been removed. This ensures the user experience remains uninterrupted even after the build expiration date.

Known issues

• Restore procedure UI feedback: No visual feedback during the restoration process. When the user enters the PIN, the restore begins and may take some time, depending on the amount of conversation history.
• Group Call Info: The list of participants in a group call is not scrollable.
• End of the call doesn’t work when the user exits Pigeon: When the user exits the Pigeon app during a call, the end call button of the keyboard is no longer intercepted and the call cannot be ended. To end the call, it is necessary to re-enter the call menu and click on the End Call option.

• Voice messages: It is impossible to adjust the volume while listening to a voice message.
• Conversations: Tagging functions are not enabled on Pigeon while typing messages.
