I2PChat v1.5.6

EN

Scope
python stays the shipping desktop (PyQt6 and the Textual TUI). Android stays Kotlin + Compose over cpp/core. Handshake v4 is unchanged.

Highlights
- Android New chat remembers the contact as soon as you press Open, and starts dialing immediately (status shows connecting instead of staying offline until the first message).
- Group membership sync: saving the roster or joining with a newer invite announces added members, so a second device is not rejected as an unknown sender on another member's PC.
- Outbound images strip EXIF/GPS/XMP/IPTC (and matching PNG/WebP chunks) before send; received images are cleaned the same way. The original file on disk is left alone.
- Desktop GUI emoji picker and bubbles use Twemoji (CC-BY 4.0) instead of Fluent UI Emoji.
- Android chats sheet no longer shows a non-working Start chat row; New chat / New group / Paste invite remain.
- TUI: compose hint documents only Ctrl+J for a newline; Settings can set the profile name; Use clears the transcript; file-offer size crash fixed; ephemeral media stays off the profile disk.
- Status / profile polish: Status marks failed when an external router drops; profile switch and Settings address UX; Android numeric router fields can be cleared while editing.

Compatibility
- Wire handshake v4 is unchanged versus 1.4.x and 1.5.x.
- Compact group invites from 1.5.4 remain not readable by 1.5.3 and older. Older invite tokens still open on 1.5.6.
- Older clients that already joined a group before a new member was added still need a fresh invite (or this release) to learn the new roster; see the group-membership note above.

Verification
gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 2BA0C56D8240077F9773248A2C05CFB3F6DFDF99
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc SHA256SUMS
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS # or: shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
CI uploads the draft without SHA256SUMS.asc (I2PCHAT_SKIP_GPG_SIGN=1). Sign that file before treating the release as final, or pass --skip-gpg to scripts/verify_github_release_assets.sh.

Кратко
Ветка python остаётся десктопом (PyQt6 и Textual TUI). Android — Kotlin поверх cpp/core. Handshake v4 не менялся.

Основные изменения
- New chat на Android сразу запоминает контакт и начинает набор (статус «подключаюсь…», а не offline до первого сообщения).
- Синхронизация состава группы: сохранение списка или более новое приглашение сообщает остальным о новых адресах — второе устройство не отбрасывается как неизвестный отправитель.
- Из исходящих (и входящих) картинок вырезаются EXIF/GPS/XMP/IPTC и аналогичные чанки PNG/WebP; исходный файл на диске не трогается.
- В GUI десктопа смайлы — Twemoji (CC-BY 4.0) вместо Fluent UI Emoji.
- В Android убран нерабочий пункт Start chat; остались New chat / New group / Paste invite.
- TUI: в подсказке только Ctrl+J для новой строки; имя профиля в Settings; Use очищает ленту; исправлен краш file-offer; эфемерные медиа не пишутся в каталог профиля.
- Status / профиль: Status показывает сбой при падении внешнего роутера; правки переключения профиля и адреса в Settings; на Android числовые поля роутера можно очищать при правке.

Совместимость
- Handshake v4 тот же, что у 1.4.x и 1.5.x.
- Компактные инвайты из 1.5.4 по-прежнему не читаются на 1.5.3 и старше. Старые токены на 1.5.6 открываются.
- Клиенты, которые вступили в группу до появления нового участника, узнают его после свежего инвайта или обновления до этого релиза.
