Pigeon v1.2.0802: Contact Discovery Bug

There is a bug in the recent Pigeon release v.1.2.0802 which doesn’t show registered Signal users when writing a message. We are working on an intermediated release to fix this issue prior to the forthcoming launch of Pigeon 2.0.

In the meantime, if you ask a registered contact (via SMS, or other) tostart the conversation with you, their contact shows up. Please ensure thatall contacts are first saved in the MP02 contact book.

Pigeon intermediate release v1.2.0802

Important notice: Pigeon v1.2.0802 is an intermediate release with minor fixes and comes shortly before the upcoming Pigeon 2.0, which will add to the feature set and improvements. A fix added in this release is the Pigeon app crash. Existing Pigeon users should upgrade to v1.2.0802 before May 2 2023 to continue using the Signal end-to-end encrypted calls and messaging service on the MP02.

Fixes:

  • Crash: the bug causing the Pigeon application to crash unexpectedly has been fixed. Please ensure a PIN is enabled and contacts are saved in the MP02 contact book.

Known issues:

  • Group conversations: It is not possible to create groups or join groups via invitation links.
  • Group conversations: It is not possible to initiate or join a group calling conversation.
  • Set-up: it is not possible to select image tiles with the Punkt. key on the CAPTCHA test. It is necessary to use the numerical key '5' instead.
  • Set-up: If the 'Registration Lock' feature is enabled on your Signal account with the same number on a smartphone device, it isn't possible to complete the set-up of Pigeon on the MP02 without disabling the' registration lock' on the other device first.
  • Set-up: The 'Call-me-instead' option for receiving the Signal verification code currently leads to a black screen.
  • Voice messages: it is not currently possible to adjust the volume while listening to a voice message.
  • Conversations: Tagging functions are not enabled on Pigeon while typing messages.

We are working towards new features and major improvements with the forthcoming Pigeon v2.0 release.
