- there were reports of errors in FreeBSD (I could only reproduce some) and Gentoo without IPv4 support (I don't have a VM for testing ready) - adds an exception handler for double task_done in case sender thread has to close prematurely (I saw this triggered on FreeBSD 11) - listening socket opening error handler was broken (triggered if you can't open a socket with both IPv4 and IPv6 support) - error handler for socket.accept. Reported on FreeBSD 10.3 - fixes #854
PyBitmessage
Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.
Development
Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new features, it is recommended that you first solicit feedback on the DevTalk pseudo-mailing list: BM-2D9QKN4teYRvoq2fyzpiftPh9WP9qggtzh
