    improve performance and latency, especially in mobile environments

  - Upgrade to Flutter 2.5
  - Memory Use Improvements
  - (Group Experiment) Previously, group signatures assumed that `Group ID` was kept secret from the server in order to preserve
    metadata privacy. This is no longer assumed 1.2 which now only relies on `Group Key` being kept secret. This change is backwards incompatible and as such 1.1 clients will not be able to verify group messages from newer clients. For more
    information please consult the [cwtch secure development handbook](https://docs.openprivacy.ca/cwtch-security-handbook/cwtch-overview.html#multi-party-conversations-groups-and-peer-to-server-communication)
* **Accessibility / UX:**
  - Completed French Translation
  - References to `Peer` replaced with more specific language (e.g. `Contact` or `Conversation`) throughout the UI
