New
- Support for Lemmy 0.19
- Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt

- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort
Changes
- Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
- Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)
- Sort has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this also now respects your account choice)
- Removed "mark posts as read" and "remember across devices" as Lemmy does this automatically

Well that came out of left field
Lemmy 0.19 has a breaking change for it's API. Can tell with the tech debt LJ has been sitting on this for a while waiting for that to go. This is definitely one of the longer release cycles for Lemmy
I had been expecting this.
Lemmy itself is still a work in progress and the new version apparently makes some major changes from the current version.
Sync is currently in a usable stable state so instead of squashing bugs in the current Sync version it was a better use of their dev time to work on a build for 0.19.
