Native v8.2.0

~2026.03.23 Minor Release

Summary

This release adds media and file sharing capabilities to messages — including video, voice messages with transcriptions, and arbitrary file uploads (PDF, ZIP, TXT, and others) — along with a storage capacity indicator during uploads. Admins now have new tools for managing groups and channels, including the ability to revoke unclaimed invites, pin messages to channel headers, and access a new Channel Info screen for notifications and settings.
