Ricochet Refresh 3.0.16

This is an incremental release while we are updating/cleaning up our build system. The first iteration of ricochet-build was simply a stripped-down fork of the Tor Project's tor-browser-build repo which is used to reproducibly cross-compile Tor Browser. Starting with ricochet-refresh 3.0.16 we are making a clean start and starting fresh without any of the unneeded legacy browser stuffs.

The new system will be much easier to maintain going forward and much easier to update dependencies, including the tor-expert-bundle package which contains the most up-to-date pluggable transports and bridges for circumventing censorship.

Changes:

• updated openssl to version 1.1.1u
• updated zlib to version 1.2.13
• updated tor to version 0.4.7.13
• updated tor-expert-bundle to version 12.0.7 (pluggable transports+bridges)

Ricochet Refresh 3.0.15

Changes:

• Fixed bug where Add button would not enable in Add Contact dialog after pasting a riochet: id containing leading or trailing whitespace on some platforms
• Made Add Contact dialog textbox styling a bit more consistent

Ricochet Refresh 3.0.14

Changes:

• Fixed bug in Windows installers where pluggable transports were not deployed to the right directory on some systems
• Upgrade tor daemon and tor submodule to 0.4.7.10
• Upgrade libevent to 2.1.12
• Upgrade fmt submodule to 9.1.0; update build-breaks due to ABI changes

Ricochet Refresh 3.0.13

Changes:

• Upgrade tor dependencies to 0.4.7.8
• Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.1.1q
• Fixed build issue preventing 'Add Contact' screen from opening
• Fixed bug where tor socks proxy is never read from control port preventing outgoing connections
• Fixed deb package generation script to allow pluggable transports to be executable

Ricochet Refresh 3.0.12

Changes:

• Upgrade tor to 0.4.7.8
• Upgrade Zlib to 1.2.12
• Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.1.1o
• Added pluggable transport support: obfs4proxy and snowflake-clent
• Added built-in bridges for obfs4, meek-azure, and snowflake pluggable transports (parity with tor-browser's built-in bridges); custom bridges of these types should also work
• Tor daemon settings (proxy, firewall, bridges, etc) are now saved in the ricochet.json file, and SETCONF'd each run
• Improved the bootstrap+configure user
• Issues fixed:
  • #60 : Closing the first launch setup window before clicking "Connect" makes ricochet unusable
  • #65 : Make obtaining Bridges easier
