Savoir-faire Linux is proud to announce the official release of Ring 1.0 « Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité » - the free and universal communication platform which preserves the users' privacy and freedoms.

Ring can be used to text and audio/video call more privately, securely, and reliably.
Main functionalities and features:
> Encrypted Audio, HD Video, and InstantMessaging communication (ICE, SIP, TLS)
> Screen sharing and conferencing (Win32 and GNU/Linux)
> Support of an Ethereum blockchain as a distributed public user database
> Distributed communication platform (OpenDHT)
> Platform support on GNU/Linux, Windows UWP (Windows 10 and Surface), Win32 (Windows 7, 8 and 8.1), and macOS (10.10+) and Android (4.0+)
> Distributed under GPLv3+ license
As a GNU package since October 2016, the Ring team wants to thank Dr. Richard Stallman and the FSF for their support for the Ring project.
