Rebrand time!
I'll allow further proposals until 0:00am EDT (UTC-4) September 7, after which a vote for name will take place, and then we'll move onto the logo.
As usual, please give feedback by commenting on this GitHub issue:
https://github.com/austinhuang0131/instagrabber/issues/116

Now that we have finished deliberating about names, time to vote for them:
https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/instagrabber-rebrand

1. The password is the third alphabetical row on a QWERTY keyboard, left to right.
2. The vote will end on 9:00am UTC-4 September 10.
3. Please ONLY vote ONCE.
4. I'm using EUSurvey because it's open source. Don't fret at that URL...

See previous message about rebrand survey (which you should complete).

Based on vote results, the name "Barinsta" has been chosen.

------
To repeat what I said yesterday:

Despite winning the popular vote, "LibreGram" has been removed from the survey, due to:

* Legal issues. The name is trademarked in Turkey, where this app is being heavily promoted at.
* False advertising. Since Instagram itself is not a free/libre platform, I cannot just say my app is fully free/libre, because it relies on something that is not (Think about F-Droid antifeatures).

PLEASE READ THE RELEASE NOTES.
THIS UPDATE IS NOT AVAILABLE ON F-DROID (but F-Droid users *can* install them, since a different application ID is used).

----
Side note: v18.3 should be available on F-Droid by now.

storiesig.com services have ended.

If you have not downloaded v19.0-a1, you need to read the previous release notes.

As of now, enrolling into the new Instagram DM experience (i.e. Messenger merger) will not affect Barinsta DM functionality, as long as you do not try to message a Facebook account (which is fixed in code but not yet released).

It has come to our attention that someone posted the alpha release onto Google Play while not respecting GPLv3 conditions. We have taken appropriate actions to respond to this incident. In the future, please stay vigilant of all occurrences of copyright infringements.

https://github.com/austinhuang0131/barinsta/releases/tag/v19.0.0

Please uninstall alpha versions first.
This version should directly replace v18.3.

fyi we have an official subreddit: r/barinsta

F-Droid blocked v19.0.0 due to a dependency issue. We will address it in v19.0.1 hopefully in next week.

The majority of Bibliogram instances (which also uses GraphQL anonymously) has been knocked down due to IP bans. Based on my interpretation of the discussions, it is possible that anonymous users may face extra hardship when accessing Instagram.

n.b. This is an interim release - Some (not all) recent bugs are fixed, that's it. Expect a full release in late December.
