+ <h3>Press Release</h3>
+ <h2>Secure P2P Messenger Releases First Version, Receives New Funding</h2>
+ <h5>May 9 2018</h5>
+
+ <p>
+ The peer-to-peer messenger Briar released its first stable version today.
+ It is available for Android devices from
+ <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.briarproject.briar.android" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Play</a> or
+ <a href="../fdroid.html">F-Droid</a>.
+ This release follows a <a href="2017-beta-released-security-audit.html">security audit</a>
+ and a 10 month public beta period during which many bugs were fixed and lots of feedback was received.
+ The Briar Project wishes to thank all beta testers for their contributions.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The development of Briar will continue with help from the <a href="https://www.opentech.fund/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open Technology Fund</a>,
+ which has previously supported the project as part of its mission to promote internet freedom worldwide.
+ New features planned for 2018 aim to address the most urgent needs of the community.
+ They include the ability to add contacts remotely without first verifying identities in person.
+ Also planned are image attachments for messages and improved battery life.
+ During this work, the Briar team will also lay the groundwork for an eventual desktop client.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Lots of people have asked for an iOS version of Briar,
+ but bringing the P2P messenger to the iPhone is challenging,
+ because Apple <a href="https://code.briarproject.org/akwizgran/briar/issues/445">does not allow long-lived network connections</a>
+ in the background which are needed for P2P messaging.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The German <a href="https://prototypefund.de/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prototype Fund</a> is supporting Briar
+ in developing <a href="https://code.briarproject.org/goapunk/briar-repeater/tree/master#briar-repeater">a feature</a>
+ that will allow users to send each other messages even if they are not online at the same time.
+ This will increase users' reachability and further improve battery life.
+ </p>

+ <h3>About Briar</h3>
+ <p>
+ Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate.
+ Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices.
+ If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.
+ If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Briar has received funding from <a href="https://smallmedia.org.uk">Small Media</a>,
+ the <a href="https://openitp.org/">Open Internet Tools Project</a>,
+ <a href="https://accessnow.org/">Access</a>
+ and the <a href="https://www.opentech.fund">Open Technology Fund</a>.
