Releases: kontalk/androidclient
v3.0-beta4
Fourth beta release. This version uses a new Tigase-based server (meaning it's not compatible with previous beta versions). This means that your account will be deleted from the system and you will need to register again - messages will be preserved. Published also on Google Play beta channel (Google Play flavor) and F-Droid (basic flavor).
Changes:
- no visible features changed. Only it's surprisingly faster!
Fixes:

First public beta release. Published also on Google Play beta channel (Google Play flavor) and F-Droid (basic flavor). This release features the switch to the Gradle build system, media encryption, brand new emoji set by Emojicon and a whole lot of bugfixes and improvements.
