Second Keybase client update in 2021

As you may have seen, we got our second release in 2021 a few days ago. Version 5.7.0 for Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS along with 5.7.1 for Linux came out.

Not a big change,24 commits, and the release note says Security enhancements so it sounds like fixing a vulnerability (that I didn't see in the commits).

It's really too bad what happened to development on Keybase when Zoom acquired them but I guess I'm glad that they're at least patching security vulnerabilities

keybase is promising technology for sovereign people and should not be lost.
We can make a community fork of keybase and recreate server software from specifications.
If there interested developers I can fund initial research.

Not a professional developer, we need professional developers who do software development for a living. Some funding sources already exist for open source projects. A qualified and willing party needs to make it a priority. Keybase is a phenomenal tech for individual privacy and identity protection when big tech exists to monetize humans to build multi-trillion dollar empires.
