This application is a rebrand of Comms, whose development started in July 2024. Changelogs or versioning have not been present initially and were never standardised. The CT repository is a fork of Comms. Changes made between the lastest iteration of Comms and CT 2610 include:
- Account and chat identity:
    - Use a randomized UUID to identify users instead of manually entered names
    - Integrate a contacts model to keep track of who sent messages, and to reflect name changes
    - Replace primary channels and namespaces with randomized UUIDs and chat names, sync chat settings (name, colour, secondary channels)
    - Add a button to share chat access to the chat settings page
- Messaging:
    - Add inline replies and message reactions
    - Messages can be filtered based on reactions or content
- Task management and calendar:
    - Implement pinch to zoom on kanban and grid view for better overview
    - Highlight the next event in the calendar sidebar
    - Improve handling of task filters
    - Improve layout of tasks settings view
- UI improvements:
    - Show how much storage is used and remaining in storage management view
    - Show data transfer progress
    - Other improvements
