Hi, folks! ✌️ How are you?

Here's a new update of the app! 🍟 (Available only for Linux 🐧 yet)

The changes includes (was taked from https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/crisps-chat/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md) 📝

Bug fixing:

• Fixed the crashing of the app in CLI mode, when a client send some message.
• When a server receives some message from someone, it doesn't write this message to its DB anymore.
• Fixed the crashing of the app when the same client connect to a server twice.
• Rebasing of the source code of the network's part.
• Separation of pers_info.cpp and contacts_list.cpp.
• Increased the app's security (Now a server checks users' ids from its buffer)

Example:

from_user = net.GetSocketID(packet.GetSocket());
std::string packet_to_send = PacketPacker::PackMessage(from_user, to_user, content);

• I noticed that in the third previews' screenshot there was "User" instead of usernames. But now... it also was fixed! (Not only on screenshots)

Features:

• When a server was shutdown, clients comes to the connection screen.
• When you connect to a server, you sends your invitations again.
• Offline/Online status icons for the contacts' list.
• Now a server creates IDs for clients, but it doesn't otherwise yet.
• Embed the assets (And now libzip isn't required)

Small changes:

• Now when you send a file, you will see: "You have send... ...to this user!" instead of "You have send to... ...OWvRfun9xfmtEuUNOn3Y9FeoHKzuiySg". It seems more pretty.
• Avatar placeholder is changed.
