FishGram source

FishGram is an unofficial Telegram Desktop customization based on the Telegram API. The initial supported target is Windows 11 x64 portable. This repository contains the source fork; build recipes, maintenance instructions and release records live in the FishGram product repository.

The current source is an internal candidate. A public binary release requires complete search acceptance, a tested cloud-built candidate, and verified signed update and recovery behavior. Local historical builds are not official FishGram releases. See the product repository for actual verification status.

The upstream instructions and licenses below are retained for reference.
