Xeres allows you to interact with friends and acquaintances in a completely decentralized way. You don’t need a server, you don’t need an account. Nobody can censor you.

Chat, participate in forums, exchange files with whoever you like. Xeres uses secure connections between peers and the file sharing is anonymous.

New in V 0.7.3:

Contacts A new contact panel allows to search and display all the identities and profiles. Contacts that haven't set any avatar picture will get one generated by Identicons. The connection status as well as the locations are displayed and updated in real time.

Retroshare profile importer It is now possible to directly import a Retroshare profile and friends into Xeres so that it'll connect with them automatically.

Miscellaneous Faster avatar image loading. When opening a chat, the few last lines are redisplayed so that the context can be quickly grasped. It's possible to set oneself away or busy. The systray context menu has been improved and one can initiate a chat from there. Newly created profiles use SHA-256 for their integrity checksum instead of SHA-1 to improve compatibility with the upcoming Retroshare. Added support for possibly future Elliptic Curve keys. The application menu has been improved with a better layout and removal of deprecated functions. Added an image viewer to see inline images in full screen. Turtle received some fixes for tunnel expirations and search forwarding. And many other fixes and improvements.
