- SimpleX Chat introduces SimpleX Channels for online publishing, designed to protect participant privacy by keeping the identities of owners and subscribers hidden from relay operators and each other.
- The new v6.5 beta release features channels where owners hold their own keys, use multiple relays for reliability, and can add channels to a public directory.
- SimpleX Network Consortium is being launched to ensure network independence and neutrality by moving protocol governance away from a single company to a foundation with a perpetual agreement.
- Community crowdfunding is proposed to fund the network's development and governance, using a model called private Community Credits to avoid surveillance and maintain business independence.
- The release also includes improvements in user connection setup, security for web links, and other enhancements, with plans for more relay operators in future updates.
