SimpleX Chat v5.4: Link Mobile & Desktop Apps via Quantum-resistant Protocol

• "SimpleX Chat v5.4 is released – now you can link mobile and desktop apps via secure quantum resistant protocol."
• "This is only possible when both devices are connected to the same local network. To send and receive messages mobile app has to be connected to the Internet."
• "We improved the protocols for groups, by making joining groups much faster, and also by adding message forwarding."
• "Previously, you could only create groups with your main profile. This version allows creating groups with incognito profile directly. You will not be able to add your contacts, they can only join via group link."
• "Calls in SimpleX Chat still require a lot of work to become stable, but this version improved the speed of connecting calls, and they should work for more users."
