This release is dedicated to all the admins and moderators who are keeping our instances and communities running.
This release adds additional moderation tools/features. In particular, it improves the mod logs screen and adds support for more mod things (private message reports, registration applications).
The release has been in the works for a while, so I've decided to make it live now although some additional features are planned and in the works. I'm still working on more changes and I will tack them on to this release as patch updates as they become ready.
I'm currently on a trip to visit family, so I will be slower to respond/work on the app in general.
As always, feel free to leave feedback in the comments. Enjoy!
Full changelog:
- Add inbox section for new account applications (for admins).
- Add support for approving/declining new account applications (for admins).
- Add support for viewing a detailed list of votes for posts/comments (for mods/admins).
- Add option to view moderation actions by user to the post/comment/person menu.
- Add a new section in the search screen "Random communities". This section shows a random list of 10 communities that has at least one post.
- Add a setting to show/hide deleted posts.
- Add per-section unread counts to the inbox side panel.
- Add support for creating private message reports.
- Add support for viewing private message reports. (The screen to view this is really crappy. This will be fixed in a patch update later.)
- Update community/inbox side panel UI a bit.
- Replace the image editing library the app uses with a different one that actually works.
- Remove "cross-posted from:" text that is auto-inserted when cross-posting so that the behavior is consistent with current web.
- Fix a bug where the title does not update in the post screen when the comment sort order is changed.
- Fixed a bug where instances are not displayed for users when they should be.
- Fix a bug where images do not load if on a private instance.
- Fix a bug where back ticks can break text formatting.
- Fix a bug where the navigation rail does not hide when the side panel is shown.
- Fix a bug where double tapping send can cause an action to be performed twice.
Update
There was a bug I knew about that I forgot to fix before I released the app (this is what I get for rushing a release). I will fix it in a dot update:
- Fix a bug where the unread screen of the inbox will not load unless you are an admin.
Update 2
Fixed the inbox for regular users but it was still broken for mods. Fixed in v1.64.2.
Update 3
Bump the version to v1.64.3. This release is identical to v1.64.2 but I forgot to do a version bump for v1.64.2.
Update 4
Fix some bugs with the release. Released as v1.64.4.
- Add cake day.
- Fix a bug where the app would crash randomly.
- Fix a bug where sometimes downloading an image would fail without an apparent cause.
- Make the post predictive back animation more apparent.
Update 5
Working on more things:
- Fix a bug where selecting one of the inbox screen categories fast will cause items from two categories to appear at the same time.
- Add a shortcut to go back to the "Unread" category in the inbox by tapping the inbox button when it's already selected.
- Improve "context" section of the inbox to do as many fetches as necessary to get the full context. Very helpful if the context tree is very deep.
Oh you are right. I forgot to bump the version. I'll fix it when I get home. Will be a couple of hours though. Out with family.
No problem, it's just the version and it confused me a bit.
But in a somewhat unrelated note, the app now seems to crash quite a bit while it didn't before. For example using the icons or buttons to go to a post from the inbox will reliably crash it for me every time.
Since I'm on the APK version, I dunno how to get crash logs to you...
I fixed some crashes in v1.64.4. Try it out and let me know if you are still crashing.
Well the ones I knew how to reproduce are gone, thanks! I'll use it a bit and see if it still crashes somewhere.
