This is for sure not a duplicate and should be restored to it's rightful spot.

Edit: Also, you cannot post on the other link for some reason?

The significant new thing in this story is on the front page already:

The rest is a dupe-by-value, which is how dupuolity works on HN.

There were so many Signal threads yesterday that it was hard to sort out which were technically dupes vs not. When they all overlap into the same discussion, they're all morally dupes anyhow.

There's another active thread today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26725915

Can I ask why this is flagged as a duplicate? The comment threads in here feel substantially different than what was being discussed in that older thread linked there.

That the repo was still without current code, another month later, was certainly interesting & novel to lots of people - especially given the 3x upvotes compared to the older story!

But also: now that the linked page has been updated to reflect that Signal has pushed a newer version of source, it's fresh news again, under its current headline. (If it was, by chance, attention to this 'old news' that prompted Signal's update, that also suggests it was more than a simple 'dupe' in significance.)
