### News - **00:00 Intro** - **00:12 Amethyst ships Arti Tor, merges pure Kotlin MLS and Marmot** [Amethyst](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst) shipped four releases from [v1.07.3](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/tag/v1.07.3) through [v1.08.0](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/tag/v1.08.0). The headline is v1.08.0 "Arti Tor," which migrates Tor connectivity from C bindings to [Arti](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti), the Tor Project's Rust rewrite, fixing random crashes. v1.07.3 redesigned the Shorts UI with edge-to-edge feeds for pictures, shorts, and long videos, and migrated badges to kind `10008` and bookmarks to kind `10003`. On main but not yet tagged, the team merged a full Kotlin implementation of both [MLS](/en/topics/mls/) and [Marmot](/en/topics/marmot/) ([PR #2147](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/2147), [PR #2149](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/2149), [PR #2150](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/2150)), plus a pure Kotlin secp256k1 implementation ([PR #2166](https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/2166)) replacing C library dependencies. Together these make [Quartz](/en/topics/quartz/) capable of running Nostr signing and Marmot group messaging without any native bindings, unlocking Kotlin Multiplatform targets including iOS. - **10:28 Nostur v1.27.0 adds video recording and private replies** [Nostur](https://github.com/nostur-com/nostur-ios-public) shipped [v1.27.0](https://github.com/nostur-com/nostur-ios-public/releases/tag/v1.27.0) with in-app video recording and trim-before-upload, animated GIF and WebP support for profile and banner photos, Apple Shortcuts integration for posting from automations, private replies, and DM compatibility fixes affecting message delivery between Nostur and other clients. - **11:33 Shosho v0.15.0 launches Shows and vertical video carousel** [Shosho](https://github.com/r0d8lsh0p/shosho-releases) shipped [v0.15.0](https://github.com/r0d8lsh0p/shosho-releases/releases/tag/v0.15.0) and [v0.15.1](https://github.com/r0d8lsh0p/shosho-releases/releases/tag/v0.15.1). Shows let streamers configure titles, descriptions, and products before going live and connect to OBS or any external encoder, separating stream metadata from the act of broadcasting. The release also adds a TikTok-style vertical video carousel for swiping through lives, clips, and replays, and Quick Add for publishing clips from a profile page. v0.15.1 fixes the keyboard hiding live chat input. ### Releases - **12:55 Notedeck v0.10.0-beta ships Zapstore self-update** [Notedeck](https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck) shipped [v0.10.0-beta.1](https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck/releases/tag/v0.10.0-beta.1) and [v0.10.0-beta.2](https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck/releases/tag/v0.10.0-beta.2). [PR #1417](https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck/pull/1417) adds APK self-update via the Nostr/Zapstore updater on Android: the client discovers new releases through Nostr events, downloads the APK from the developer's chosen host, verifies the SHA-256 hash against the signed Nostr event, and installs it. - **17:43 Amber v6.0.0-pre1 adds per-connection NIP-46 signing keys** [Amber](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber) shipped [v6.0.0-pre1](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v6.0.0-pre1). The key change is per-connection signing keys for the [NIP-46](/en/topics/nip-46/) bunker protocol: Amber now generates a distinct key per connected client, so a compromised client connection cannot impersonate the signer to other clients. [PR #377](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/pull/377) adds in-app Zapstore update checking and installation. [PR #375](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/pull/375) handles AndroidKeyStore failures gracefully with a warning instead of a crash. [PR #371](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/pull/371) adds database cleanup with size limits to prevent unbounded storage growth. - **24:02 Nost
