Briar uses the Tor network to connect users with their
contacts. But in some countries, <a href="http://grobox.de/tor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">access to Tor is blocked</a>.
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
add contacts securely without meeting in person, and support for
attaching images to messages.
