  PeerSpeak 0.6.4 — honest chat sending + hardening Stable

  [0.6.4] — 2026-07-18

  Added

  • Chat now tells you when a message didn't send. A message that couldn't go
    out — because you weren't in a room, or the broadcast failed — is marked
    "⚠ Not sent" with a Retry button, instead of sitting in the transcript
    looking delivered. A successful send shows nothing (PeerSpeak has no
    delivery/read receipts, so anything else would be a false promise).
  • Fast typing no longer loses messages. When you fire off a quick burst,
    messages past the first few are held as "queued…" and sent a moment apart,
    matching the rate other people's clients accept. Previously a fast burst could
    look sent on your end while some messages silently never reached the room.

  Changed

  • Tidier music playlist drawer. The slide-out playlist no longer repeats the
    play/skip controls already on the player bar, and the track list now grows to
    fill the drawer instead of being boxed into a short scroll area, so you can see
    more of your playlist at once.
  • Safer chat under the hood. A round of chat hardening tightened how incoming
    messages, display names, links, and file/image attachments are validated and
    bounded, so a malformed or hostile message from a peer can't spoof a name,
    replay, flood, or run the app out of memory. No change to how normal chat looks
    or works.

  Fixed

  • Burst packet loss no longer splices the wrong audio into the gap. Loss
    concealment used Opus in-band FEC even when the next packet to arrive wasn't
    the one immediately after the gap, so losing several packets in a row could
    briefly play a later frame's audio in the wrong position. FEC now only
    reconstructs a gap from its immediate successor packet; larger gaps are
    concealed normally.
  • A failed network restart no longer silently kills the app. Changing the
    network mode (or regenerating your identity) rebuilds the connection stack;
    if that rebuild failed — rare, but possible when the local socket can't
    bind — PeerSpeak kept its window open but silently stopped responding to
    every command. It now falls back to your previous network settings and says
    so, and only gives up (with a clear error telling you to restart) if even
    the fallback fails.
