Briar will now try to detect this
and use bridges to access the Tor
network when needed. (Bridges are computers run by volunteers around
the world that help to provide access to the Tor network when it's
blocked.

Work on the next big release is already under way.
Among other things, the Briar Project is working on a new way to

attaching images to messages.
