Pigeon release notes 2.0.0031Updated 2 days ago

Release date: 02/02/2026

Maintenance update addressing a critical communication issue introduced by recent Signal upstream changes, ensuring continued compatibility and reliability.

Changes

  • Version number: Version number has been updated to v.2.0.0031
  • Base version: Pigeon is now based on Signal 7.66.5, aligning with the latest Signal codebase to maintain security, stability, and long-term compatibility.
  • Core refactor: Following recent Signal updates, a critical communication issue was identified. To resolve this, a significant portion of the Pigeon codebase has been rewritten to restore proper functionality and ensure future resilience.
    All related changes and technical details are available in our GitHub repository (https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon/tree/2.0.0031) .

Fixes

  • Critical communication issue: Resolved an issue introduced by upstream Signal changes that could impact core messaging and calling functionality. Communication is now fully restored and aligned with the latest Signal behavior.

Known Issues

  • Link devices: The functionality of linking devices is currently not available. We are working to rewrite it and include it in the next release.
  • 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. Wait for the completion of the procedure without repeating the operation.
  • 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.
  • Set-up: It is not possible to select image tiles with the Punkt. key during the CAPTCHA test. It is necessary to use the numerical key ‘5’ instead.
  • Voice messages: The duration of a voice message isn't displayed when dictating the message.
  • Conversations: Tagging functions are not enabled on Pigeon while typing messages.
  • Conversations: It is not possible to view media in full-screen mode; therefore, video playback does not work, and received images are only displayed as thumbnails.
  • Calling: The call will drop if a call is answered on speakerphone.
