Jul 1, 2025During July 2025, TryQuiet/quiet delivered several high-impact features, stabilized the platform, and strengthened security and release processes. OrbitDB Injection via Quiet Storage Service (QSS) was added, enabling controlled injection of entries into OrbitDB through a QSS hook, with release notes created to document the capability. UI/UX enhancements were completed: user profiles, a real-time connection status in the sidebar, a development-time debug panel, and strengthened security around socketIOSecret sharing, plus related fixes. Release management and versioning were improved for desktop/mobile with 6.0.0 release readiness and 6.1.0-alpha.x previews, including changelog cleanup, version bumps, and build config updates. Android build tooling was reverted to restore a stable build, addressing instability from upgrades to AGP 8.3.2, Gradle 8.8, Android SDK 35. Overall, these deliverables improved product stability, security posture, and release velocity, while expanding platform capabilities and developer ergonomics.
