Getting better.
One detail at a time.

A clear record of the Windows preview, without calling unfinished work a finished release.

0.5.0 · Development preview

Windows receiving

  • Disk-backed receiving with an 8 GiB configured ceiling.
  • Windows-protected checkpoints and resume across separate processes.
  • Staging, journal and export disk-fault recovery.
  • Persisted destination verification before no-overwrite publication.

Workspace and transfers

  • Blue glass workspace with themes, favorites, sorting and file views.
  • Shared folder trees, resumable uploads and transfer notifications.
  • Chat safety-number consistency and peer-key-change warnings.

Validation, with context

The prior release-readiness pass recorded 220 regression tests, separate native-process checks and a passing 1,000-file stress test. That small-file fixture took about 128 seconds on the test PC, so performance work remains. A 260 MiB local-disk receive/export passed; that is not a Wi-Fi speed guarantee.

Known limitations

This is an unsigned preview. Native phone/macOS apps are not released. Seamless phone trust setup, physical-device acceptance, full accessibility acceptance and public release signing remain open. The website does not change those limitations.
