+ <h3>Press Release</h3>
+ <h2>Version 1.1 released with dark theme, new emoji and more</h2>
+ <h5>September 12 2018</h5>
+
+ <p>
+ The Briar Project releases version 1.1 of their Android app.
+ After its <a href="2018-1.0-released-new-funding.html">first public release</a> in May,
+ this is the first release adding new features to the app.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ With support from the <a href="https://www.opentech.fund/">Open Technology Fund</a>
+ and <a href="http://www.ura.design/">Ura Design</a>,
+ a dark theme was added.
+ Users can activate it in the settings
+ or turn on automatic mode that activates it only in the night.
+ As part of this work, the conversation screen was also redesigned.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This release also adds lots of new emoji
+ and the ability to modify emoji skin tones.
+ This is important for everybody to feel represented by the app.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Briar encrypts all its data with a dedicated password.
+ In order to receive messages, the user needs to enter this password.
+ To not miss anything important, Briar now reminds the user after device restarts
+ or when it was upgraded that signing in is required.
+ This notification can be disabled in the settings.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ In addition to signing in, Briar now supports app locking.
+ The app can be locked manually or automatically after a certain time of not using it.
+ To use the app again, the user needs to enter the device password
+ or use the fingerprint reader on recent versions of Android.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ To connect users directly with each other, Briar uses the Tor network.
+ In some countries <a href="http://grobox.de/tor">Tor is blocked</a>
+ and Briar will now try to detect this
+ and enable bridges into the Tor network when needed.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Work on the next big release is already under-way.
+ Among other things, the Briar Project plans to introduce the possibility to add contacts
+ without meeting face-to-face
+ and to allow users to send large messages with image attachments.
+ </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://web.archive.org/web/20160413063937/https://www.openitp.org/">Open Internet Tools Project</a>,
+ <a href="https://accessnow.org/">Access</a>, the <a href="https://www.opentech.fund/">Open Technology Fund</a>,
+ and the <a href="https://prototypefund.de/">Prototype Fund</a>.
