v1.18.3

Release notes

Translations, UI improvements, notifications, and some bugfixes.

This release is bringing several UI improvements and translation fixes thanks to
contributions and suggestions from our users. Also, we've merged with another
fork of qTox and the maintainer of that fork has contributed all their
improvements, making this the most stable version of qTox in years.

There are still many things on our TODO list, most notably we'll be focussing on
adding new group chat support with moderation, roles, and group ownership. As
always, if you find any issues with this release, please let us know by filing
an issue.

Bug Fixes

v1.18.2

Release Notes

This is a security-focussed release that also comes with some bugfixes.

• We've added QOI image support and dropped some image support plugins that we haven't properly vetted.
• We have added fuzzing tests for all the image plugins we do use (and filed some bugs for the ones we don't yet use).
• We've fixed a heap buffer overflow in exif handling. This overflow was not a vulnerability (it was an out of bounds read that would mess up image rotations when receiving broken exif data).
• We've added a setting to disable automatic image previews in chat. If you're very security-conscious and you have friends you don't trust, you may want to disable image previews. In the future, we'll add a per-friend setting for this.
• We've fixed some bugs that caused multi-line messages to be received as a single line. This was caused by our defense-in-depth security measures that were a little too strict.
