Pigeon 2.0 is an entirely new version of the MP02's encryption feature compatible with Signal. Pigeon 2.0 has been developed on recent Signal source code, with maintainability as a core objective. The Signal baseline for this first release has been rebased to Signal version 6.25.5 to encompass recent changes in the app and offers new features such as backup chats.
The Development of Pigeon 2.0
The original Signal source code has been left unchanged with Pigeon 2.0 to facilitate maintenance and keep it in regular sync with Signal. Future Pigeon updates will be released more frequently from version 2.0 onwards to ensure compatibility with the latest Signal app versions. New features will also be added in future rollouts.
With Pigeon 2.0, we invite the community to participate in contributing to the future development of Pigeon on the official Punkt. subreddit here, and on Github here.
