Weekly Dev Update #168

Hey y’all, 

This week the Oxen core team primarily worked on the Session open groups server, adding pinned message endpoints and updating the database schema to improve flexibility. The Session mobile team continued working on webRTC voice calling, where we managed to get our first cross platform call between an Android and iOS device working. The desktop team tracked down a tricky bug with path building and worked towards adding unsend requests.
