- while 448ceaa74ca6929f626fa36962c4f3c0ca0f0659 fixed slow rendering on windows, there was still a bug where overly long messages caused freezeing of the hyperlink regexp parser, which appears to happen on all platforms. Maybe it's a freeze, maybe it just takes too long. This patch aborts the regexp parser after 1 second and simply displays the message without hyperlinks being clickable. This doesn't affect HTML mode because there the links are kept as they are - Fixes #900
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
