The next large step for the Cwtch project to take is a move from public Beta to Stable – marking a point at which we consider Cwtch to be secure and usable. We have been working hard towards that goal over the last few months.
This post revisits the Cwtch Stable roadmap update we provided back in March, and provides an overview of the next steps on our journey towards Cwtch Stable.
Cwtch 1.12 is now available for download!
Cwtch 1.12 is the culmination of the last few months of effort by the Cwtch team, and includes many foundational changes that pave the way for Cwtch Stable including new features like profile attributes, support for new platforms like Tails, and multiple improvements to performance and stability.
We are getting close to a 1.12 release. This week we are drawing attention to the latest Cwtch Nightly (2023-06-05-17-36-v1.11.0-74-g0406) that is now available for wider testing.
As a reminder, the Open Privacy Research Society have also announced they are want to raise $60,000 in 2023 to help move forward projects like Cwtch. Please help support projects like ours with a one-off donations or recurring support via Patreon.
One of the larger remaining goals outlined in our Cwtch Stable roadmap update is comprehensive developer documentation. We have recently spent some time writing the foundation for these documents.
In this devlog we will introduce some of them, and outline the next steps. We also have a new nightly Cwtch release available for testing!
We are very interested in getting feedback on these documents, and we encourage anyone who is excited to build a Cwtch Bot, or even an alternative UI, to read them over and reach out to us with comments, questions, and suggestions!

Two new Cwtch features are now available to test in nightly: Availability Status and Profile Information.
Additionally, we have also published draft guidance on running Cwtch on Tails that we would like volunteers to test and report back on.

Cwtch 1.11 is now available for download!
Cwtch 1.11 is the culmination of the last few months of effort by the Cwtch team, and includes many foundational changes that pave the way for Cwtch Stable including new reproducible and automatically generated bindings, as well as support for two new languages (Slovak and Korean), in addition to several performance improvements and bug fixes.
One of the main streams of work in the lead up to Cwtch Stable has been improving all aspects of Cwtch Documentation. In this development log we will highlight some of the major updates over the last few weeks.
Last time we looked at autobindings we mentioned that one of the next steps was introducing support for Application-level experiments. In this development log we will explore what application-level experiments are (technically), and how we added (optional) autobindings support for them.
The C-bindings for Cwtch evolved as part of Cwtch UI development. After two years of prototyping, development, new features, and revisiting first-implementations we have reached the point where we have a good understanding of what the bindings need to do, and how they should do it. To that end we have produced a first-cut of a workflow to automatically generate these bindings: cwtch-autobindings.
This this development log we will introduced autobindings, the motivation behind them, and how we plan to use them on the path to Cwtch Stable.
