Gryt 1.11.46

Friends are here, updating on Windows no longer leaves you staring at nothing, and you can now see your 24 words to save them in a password manager.

Voice & video

Changed

If a channel's camera, screen sharing or speaking permission is taken away while you're in its call, your camera or share turns off, or you're muted, with a note saying why.

Fixed

When a server refuses a voice room, Gryt now says why once and stops, instead of retrying six times and blaming your network.

Servers & invites

New

Add friends on a server, accept or decline requests, and remove friends. Your friends list lives only on your devices, and calls from friends now means real friends.

Settings & app

New

If you're signed in, you can now see your 24 words under Settings, Security, and save them in a password manager. They're the way back to your direct messages if you lose every device. If your message backup still uses the older, weaker lock, Gryt offers once to upgrade it.

Forgotten your message password? If this device still has your key, you can now set a new one without losing anything.

Fixed

On Windows, updating closed Gryt and showed nothing for up to a minute and a half. A small window now says Gryt is updating and will open again by itself, and the full build is back in about 15 seconds. Opening Gryt during an update no longer starts a second copy. Updates also download only what changed again, often about 25 MB instead of 130. The first update to this version still installs the old way.

Self-hosting

Changed

The server built into the desktop app is updated to 1.10.34.

Nobody wrote this one up, so the list above is all of it. When something lands that’s worth explaining there’s a post about it instead.
