6.7.21

Hotfix to fix issue in pairing. Move to 7.0.0-rc.6 as soon as possible.

v7.0.0-rc.6

Version 7.0.0-RC6:

The last release candidate is here. Any future work will be segmented into PRs (whether by @jlucaso1 or I) and then tested heavily, then merged into master and then 7.0.0 will release. I don't have an ETA, but you can use this version now.

Rc6 issues and things to tackle before main release:

• Performance issues resulting from a lot of the LID migration commits and the transaction rewrite
• App State Sync (many errors)
• Up to 30x increase in binary reads (still benchmarking this my discovery is insane)
• History sync
• 1:1 parity with WA Web when it comes to a lot of things to decrease bans

Changes that have been made since rc5:

• increased socket reliability
• Full Meta Coexistence support (pairing with coex, sending messages to someone with it, receiving messages from them, and also being in a group with someone who has it are all handled)
• fetchWAWebVersion works again
• less and less vectors for automation detection, should show reduced bans
• Increased reliability and less crashes
• patched fromMe in some scenarios
• Increased signal reliability as well

7.0.0-rc.2 (2025-09-08)

v7.0.0-rc.1

VERSION 7.0.0-rc.1 - 7.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1

What's Changed

• feat: eventMessage sending / call link creation by @vinikjkkj in #1677
• feat(business): change profile/cover photo and manage quick replies by @vinikjkkj in #1724
• Feat: Allow creating, linking, and unlinking groups from a community by @lucas-fochesatto in #1729

• Add mutex-based transaction safety to Signal key store (re-reworked) by @pvictorlv in #1697
• lid: Support LIDs in Baileys by @purpshell in #1747

In addition, some changes on top of the PRs were made by me to fix them.

The outcome: LIDs should work well, and message retry should be robust. Less issues with Meta Coexistence (not fully supported yet). Also, some speed up should be noticed, and less enc/dec errors overall.

This is a significant release and as such is receiving a MAJOR tag (breaking). To learn more about breaking changes, before asking any questions, please head to https://whiskey.so/migrate-latest

The release "7.0.0" will be made (full release) in around 2 days to insure stability.
