Summit

Last release added some features I wanted in the app. So to balance it out, this release will be focused on adding features users want.

I got a large influx of feature requests which is great.

Since there are so many feature requests I am going to break this release into multiple smaller parts. This way I can push out new features as they are implemented instead of doing a massive release all at once.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to control whether videos should auto-play. Default true.
• Added new comment count to posts.
• Added a view to the post screen if there are no comments.
• Added a setting to enable uploading images to Imgur.
• Added a setting to control how many animations are enabled within the app
• Added a setting to adjust the caching policy for the app. The options are aggressive, moderate (default), lite and minimum. Aggressive will cause the cache to be used more often resulting in better performance but things might be stale. Minimum will greatly reduce what is cached, reducing performance but ensuring things are up to date.
• Added a button to view the browsing history in the history settings screen.
• Changed the behavior of the navigation menu. If a navigation menu item is currently selected and it is tapped, the app will navigate you to the "home page" of that navigation item.
• Changed the style of read posts to dim the entire post item. This behavior can be changed in settings.
• Changed notification behavior so that when a notification is tapped, the inbox screen will auto-refresh unread messages.
• Changed the browsing history screen to open pages within itself instead of within home. Eg. if you tap on a post in the history screen, the post will now open in the history screen. This makes the behavior more consistent with other screens such as inbox or saved.
• Fixed several bugs related to the compose post screen.
• Fixed a bug where the create post screen mistakenly only shows comment drafts instead of post drafts.
• Fixed a bug where the loading indicator is not shown when comments are still loading.
• Fixed a bug where the imageviewer will appear unresponsive if the user leaves the app and then comes back.
• Fixed a bug where tapping on a notification item will create a weird back stack state. This fix will make navigation more intuitive.
• Fixed a bug where the inbox screen will automatically open an inbox item every time it's opened if a notification was tapped before.
• Fixed a bug where tapping on a notification will cause the inbox screen to be stuck in a weird state where certain actions will be ignored/do nothing.
• Fixed several crashes
• Fixed a bug where errors are cut off or not centered properly.

Update

v1.42.1 is being release at the time of writing (9/2/2024). It adds more user requested features.

Update 2

v1.42.2 is released to address a bug in v1.42.1.

Update 3

I'm going to be wrapping up on community suggestions work at the end of this weekend. I will try to implement as many of the remaining suggestions as I can however it's unlikely I will be able to implement all of them. If I cannot implement your suggestion in time, I will implement your suggestion in a future release. It just means that your suggestion might not be prioritized.

The reason why I am doing this is so that I can prioritize implementing other features that I think would improve the app. As the community suggestions release wraps up I want to thank everyone who shared their suggestions during the release.

Update 4

Released v1.42.5 which contains the last of the user requested features I will implement for this release.

Update 5

Fixed some bugs and doing another release.

Update 6

Fixing more bugs.

• Fixed a bug where importing settings can cause crashes.
• Tighten up some margins/padding.
• Added a setting to enable condensed style for comment headers.

Update 7

Fixing more issues.

• The app always assumed that spoiler tags had to start with ::: spoiler, however I tested this on the website and actually the space between ::: and spoiler is optional. Eg. the website renders :::spoiler as a spoiler block. So for parity, I am changing the logic in the app to also allow :::spoiler.
