I've released OnionShare 1.1. There's an upstream signed tag:
https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/releases/tag/v1.1
The most exciting part about this release is that it launches its own
separate tor subprocess and uses that. So OnionShare has dropped its
torbrowser-launcher [contrib] dependency and has replaced it with tor
[main]. Now there's no reason for it to be in contrib anymore, it can
get moved to main!
Since it launches its own tor subprocess, it doesn't even rely on an
existing system tor service, so it "just works" as soon as you open it,
without needing to do any system tor configuration.
Here's the full changelog:
- OnionShare connects to Tor itself now, so opening Tor Browser in the
background isn't required
- In Windows and macOS, OnionShare alerts users about updates
- Removed the menu bar, and added a Settings button
- Added desktop notifications, and a system tray icon
- Ability to add multiple files and folders with a single "Add" button
- Ability to delete multiple files and folders at once with the "Delete"
button
- Hardened some response headers sent from the web server
- Minor clarity improvements to the contents of the share's web page
- Alert the user rather than share an empty archive if a file was unreadable
- Prettier progress bars
