The new Shadow client v1.17.0 introduces client-side support for proxying the client-server traffic. Registering on a Shadow server via a proxy is also made possible. The proxy server information can be shared directly or via an Android deep link (much like with Shadow groups). The Shadow proxy module will be published with the forthcoming release of the Shadow server.
Beside that, the new release of the client brings forth chat wallpapers, editable user status descriptions and last, but not least, internet connectivity check upon initial registration. Yes, the most popular technical support case has been that a user tried to register without internet connectivity on their smartphone – hopefully, now there’s the end to that.
