This release adds a new section to the app: the You screen. This screen will be a new default in the bottom navigation bar. It replaces both the history and saved options. The You screen will contain short cuts to a wide range of other parts of the app related to the user of the app. This includes links to settings, browsing history, saved, upvoted/downvoted and even drafts. Hopefully this screen will make certain feature easier to access and also easier to discover.

Full changelog

• Added a new "You" screen.
• Added new "Upvoted" and "Downvoted" screens to the You screen. These screens display a list of all posts/comments upvoted by the current account.
• Added a new "Drafts" screen to the You screen. This is meant to be a shortcut and a way to manage drafts.
• Disabled predictive back on Android 14. This is due to various bugs I found with predictive back on Android 14. Predictive back will be enabled on Android 15 devices.
• Added a setting in Settings > Post feed to modify the home page. This just makes this setting easier to find.
• Added creation/edited dates to the draft items.
• Fixed a rare crash in the saved/upvoted/downvoted screen.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom navigation items have white icons even in the light theme.
• Added support for .avif images.
• Fixed a crash when drafts are deleted.

Update

Release should be fully live now.

Update 2

Some bugs were reported. Doing a release to address these bugs. Changes:

• Added a setting in Settings > Post feed to modify the home page. This just makes this setting easier to find.
• Added creation/edited dates to the draft items.
• Fixed a rare crash in the saved/upvoted/downvoted screen.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom navigation items have white icons even in the light theme.

Update 3

Will release v1.47.3 to fix some more bugs. Changes:

• Added support for .avif images.
• Fixed a crash when drafts are deleted.

This release implements the proposal discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/21570953.

This release overhauls the search screen to show subscribed communities and community suggestions based on what is popular or trending at the moment.

Note: Suggestions shown in the search screen will be based on data gathered from Lemmy servers (more precisely they are based off of https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer). They are not from data generated from the client. The app does not track/send data to any servers aside from Lemmy & Firebase (for crash/app stability tracking, you can opt-out in settings).

The backend portion that will drive community suggestions feature is open source. You can view it here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy-server.

The backend is currently hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and costs $8/mo. If anyone wants to donate to help cover this cost that would be appreciated but otherwise I can swallow the cost as it's not a large amount.

Full changelog

• Complete search screen overhaul
• Added a warning banner when viewing a community feed for a blocked community.
• Added block/unblock community action to the overflow menu when viewing a community feed.
• Fixed a bug where disabling Firebase Crashlytics would leave the rest of the Firebase library enabled which can include components such as a logger.
• Fixed a bug where the quote feature did not work as expected when text in the comment box is selected and the quote button is pressed.
• Added configuration options to the search screen. These configs allow users to show/hide sections of the screen.
• Fixed a bug where images in posts/comments are cut off.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a progress indicator is not shown when comments are still loading.
• Fixed a bug in rare cases where the user is scrolled to a random spot in the post list instead of the top of the list.
• Fixed a bug where images in text are too small.
• Fixed some issues with the view position being reset in the search page.
• Fixed an issue where the built in photo editor did not support Android 15.
• Fixed an issue where I didn't update the changelog link in the app to this post. Whoops.

• Fixed some issues with the view position being reset in the search page.
• Fixed an issue where the built in photo editor did not support Android 15.
• Fixed an issue where I didn't update the changelog link in the app to this post. Whoops.

Update 3

Released v1.46.2.

This update adds full support for the Android feature Predictive Back. Unfortunately this feature is only supported on newer versions of Android (Android 14 and above) so if you are on an older version of Android you will not notice a difference.

Full changelog

• Fixed a bug where changing accounts will not scroll the account list to the top.
• Added full support for predictive back. Note that this fixes several bugs that are only seen on Android 14.

Update

I found some bugs in the release so I will be releasing a small bug fix update shortly. Changes:

• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update 2

Fully rollout of the release is now complete.

First release since I've gotten back from vacation. This release addresses a good chunk of the user requests. There are some big ones left over that will be addressed in future releases.

Full changelog

• Updated the UI for the emoji picker.
• Updated the UI for deleted/removed posts so it has a distinct looked.
• Added a new setting to disable markdown parsing for post titles.
• Added a menu option to post/comments to copy it's contents.
• Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.
• Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.
• Added a "Go to" dialog accessible in the main menu. This dialog allows you to jump to any Lemmy page directly given a link.
• Added missing translations for Czech, German, Hindi, Italian, Swedish, and Turkish using Google Cloud Translations.

• Fixed a bug where the wrong icon is shown when viewing an instance's info.
• Fixed a bug where the title is shown when it should be hidden on the community info/instance info screen.
• Fixed a bug where spoiler tag state is reset if certain actions are performed. This also fixes a bug where spoiler tag state is reset when taking an advanced screenshot
• Adjusted the width of the "include in screenshot" checkbox for advanced screenshots so it's easier to tap.

Update

Release has been in review for a few hours now. I hope it's not another 1 week review release :|.

Update 2

Found a bug introduced with this release. Sometimes tapping on a comment will not expand the comment actions. v1.44.1 will address this issue.

Update 3

Some more bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug where spoiler tag state is reset if certain actions are performed. This also fixes a bug where spoiler tag state is reset when taking an advanced screenshot.

Update 4

• Changed the logic for "mark post as read on scroll" to immediately mark any post that is fully scrolled off screen as read. The current logic can be a bit unpredictable about how far you'd need to scroll before a post is marked as read.

Update 5

I was made aware of a serious crash in the app in v1.44.2. I have addressed the issue and I am in the process of submitting an emergency release now (v1.44.3). Apologies for the inconvenience.

Update 6

Made a versioning mistake so the fix will be released as v1.44.4. The release has been submitted to the play store. It will be released as soon as it has been approved by Google.

Update 7

Release should be live.

Welcome to v1.43.0. This release adds a feature I've thought about since the start of the project but just never implemented: account creation! In v1.43.0 new users to Lemmy will be able to go through the entire account creation process (minus email verification) from the app.

The hope with this feature is that it will help reduce Lemmy's sign up friction even further, especially for Summit users.

Full changelog

• Added a create account option to the sign in screen.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.
• Improved the current community UI
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.

Update

Bumped to v1.43.1 to resolve a minor issue with the build.

Update 2

Bumped to v1.43.2 to address some issues and also add some minor improvements.

• Refreshed the design of the community selector sheet.
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.

I have some plans for v1.43 that I will add here later. For now, I'm just going to be doing some quick bug fixes. I've been fairly busy in my personal life outside of work so I haven't had as much time to work on Summit. Progress is still being made, just slightly slower. I will also be going on vacation from the beginning of October. My extreme stretch goal would be to release v1.43 well before I go on vacation so I have some time to polish the release before I'm on vacation but we shall see if that's feasible.

Changes so far

• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.

Update

Whoops I accidentally put [Release] in the title. This has been corrected.

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.

v1.42.1

• Added a setting to enable uploading images to Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where the loading indicator is not shown when comments are still loading.
• Added a setting to control how many animations are enabled within the app

v1.42.2

• Fixed a bug where posts will become unread if the app is closed and opened again.
• Fixed a bug introduced by the animation setting change. When expanding a post in the community post feed screen, sometimes the post will not expand.

v1.42.3

• Fixed a bug where post thumbnails will disappear sometimes when the post is tapped.
• Fixed a bug where the imageviewer will appear unresponsive if the user leaves the app and then comes back.

v1.42.4

• Fixed a bug in the post list where the content will disappear when tapped. This only affects the full content layout.

v1.42.5

• 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.
• Changed notification behavior so that when a notification is tapped, the inbox screen will auto-refresh unread messages.
• Added a button to view the browsing history in the history settings screen.
• 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.
• 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.
• Fixed several crashes

v1.42.6

• Fixed a bug where errors are cut off or not centered properly.

v1.42.7

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

v1.42.8

• Changed spoiler tags to make the space between ::: and spoiler optional.

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.

Welcome to v1.41.0. This release adds a feature I've wanted for a while now (but likely no one else wanted). This release adds the ability to record an advanced screenshot.

In some cases, posts and comments can contain animated GIFs. When taking screenshots of these, context may be lost because the GIF animation is removed. The record screenshot feature allows users to take a recording of a screenshot, preserving animated GIFs in posts or comments. The feature allows you to record a screenshot as either a GIF, MP4 or WEBM and contains a lot of configurable settings.

Note that this feature currently does not work for videos (eg. MP4s) in posts because the video player renders these in a specialized way that cannot be captured by the method used by the app.

Full changelog

• Added a feature to "record" a screenshot as a video or GIF.
• Added option to mark a post as read/unread in the post option's menu.
• Changed long tap on the header, expand button or the side to expand actions as well.
• Fixed a bug where links are invisible in conversations.

The focus of this release is DMs. Direct messages have been difficult to manage and respond to in the past especially for message chains. This release cleans up the DM experience to make them much easier to use.

Full changelog

• Redesigned the DM experience.
• Changed messages in the inbox. Messages sent by you will no longer show up in inbox.
• Make it more obvious when loading in the inbox screen(s)
• Changed the "Mark as read" gesture to toggle the read state of the post. Eg. if a post is read and the gesture "Mark as read" is performed, the post will be marked as unread.
• Added a fade effect to the bottom screen when screens are stacked together. Eg. when viewing a post from the community feed.
• When viewing a reply message in the inbox, added a button in the context section to make it easier to see the post of the reply.
• Fixed a bug where the navigation bar does not highlight the correct item in certain cases.
• Fixed a bug where the open link button is visible when no image is shown in the post list.
• Fixed some bugs that occur when viewing a link to a Lemmy post of another instance.
• Fixed some minor bugs with people search.

v1.40.1

There were some dependency issues so I had to do a version bump. There shouldn't be any changes from the base release though.

v1.40.2

• Fixed a bug where images are not shown/loaded within direct messages.
• Added a full text editor to the send message input field. When sending a direct message, you will be able to tap on the full editor button to open the "advanced text editor" to make it easier to compose more complex messages.
• Fixed a bug where the post in the "context" section of an inbox message would have a random amount of whitespace at the bottom.

This update focuses on general app improvements and bug fixes.

Full changelog

• Added new image loading animation.
• Improved styling on collapsed comments. Voting on a collapsed comment will update the score and cause the score color to change.
• Fixed many bugs with the layout "list with cards". Specifically it was missing the voting buttons and the comments counter. This has been added. Several other fixes has also been applied for this layout.
• Fixed a bug where the header text of a post would be cut off when using certain layouts.
• Fixed a bug where the link icon would appear on a post even if the post does not contain a link.
• Fixed a bug where paragraphs within a spoiler block may not be correctly formatted.
• Support subscripts in markdown (for_example)
• Fixed a bug where opening. closing and opening the same post will cause the post to not be highlighted when the post is closed.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes you can drag a blank window from the right side of the screen.
• Fixed a bug where the progress bar when loading videos does not conform to the app theme.

This release adds the option to offline a post feed, giving you the freedom to browse while offline. The use case here is if you know ahead of time you are going to be offline you can download a feed beforehand and read it later.

This release also implements several user requests.

Full changelog

• When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
• Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.
• Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.

v1.38.1

• Fixed a bug when viewing a post on another instance, tapping the switch instance button will not show an error message if the post cannot be found on your instance.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes posts are not mark as real on v0.19.5 instances.

v1.38.2

• No changes. Accidental versioning issue.

v1.38.3

• Fixed a bug where back press was not being handled within dialogs leading to several other issues such as new comments/posts not auto saving as drafts.

This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.

This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.

Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.

Full changelog

• Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
• Added support for community icons in the post feed.
• Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
• Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
• Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
• Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

Made a couple versioning mistakes so this will be released as v1.37.2 instead.

Update

I submitted the release but changes are in review still. It's been in review for over 5 hours so it feels like it's going to take a while before it's released to the play store.

This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.

The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.

When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.

This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.

Full changelog

• Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
• Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
• Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
• Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
• Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
• Fixed a minor bug where the background of the inbox screen does not take up the entire height of the screen.
• Fixed a bug when using the screenshot feature to take a screenshot of a comment without the post. Remove the divider at the top of the screenshot that serves no purpose.
• Fixed a bug where sending an image to the app would show a bottom sheet but the bottom sheet would not be expanded.

This update adds a new feed: all subscribed. This is the first feed that combines the feeds of multiple accounts, it lists posts from your subscribed communities from all of the accounts.

This update also reorganizes the app settings as well as some other changes. See the full changelog below for details

Full changelog

• Added a new setting to hide the UI in the image viewer by default.
• Added a new feed: all subscribed. This feed combines the subscribed feed of all signed in accounts.
• Moved the setting to make the notification bar completely transparent from Misc settings to Theme
• Moved the about and summit community setting options under a new category: About
• Renamed the existing "Post and comments" settings page to "Post and comments appearance".
• Removed the settings page for Comment list and added a new settings page for Post and comments settings.
• Moved the "Post appearance" settings page to be under the "Posts feed" settings screen.
• Moved the "Post and comments appearance" settings page to be under the "Post and comments" settings screen.
• Fixed a bug where performing certain actions in the settings screen will cause all switch based settings to reset to off.
• Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.

Update

Had to bump to v1.35.1 because I forgot to update the version number. v1.35.1 was submitted to the play store last night but it is still in review almost 24 hours later. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon :x.

Update

v1.35.1 is fully rolled out now.

We're going back to implementing new features with this release. However just like most release, this one also contains a lot of bug fixes and general improvements.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to choose a "quick action" for the post feed floatiing action button (FAB) (button at the bottom). When set, this action will trigger when the FAB is long pressed.
• Added setting to show edited times in post/comment headers. This will be on by default.
• Updated the design of the user profile screen slightly.
• Improve options menus even further.
• Changed user profile images to be tappable in comments.

• Fixed a bug when viewing information about moderated communities/subscribed communities.
• Fixed a crash when trying to preview an extremely high resolution image.
• Fixed a crash when interacting with spoiler tags.
• Fixed a rare crash.

Update

I accidentally did a release without changing the changelog within the app so I am bumping the version to v1.34.1 to address this issue.

Update 2

Fixed some bugs with the release. Releasing as v1.34.3.

Update 3

Fixed a bug where the edited time displayed was incorrect. This fix is released in v1.34.5.

Welcome to v1.33.x.

This release is going to be a little different from the others.

While other releases are centered around big features or tasks, this release is centered around a large number of small changes.

Due to this, I am going to be breaking this release into multiple small point releases. The reasons for doing so are:

1. Since this release doesn't hinge on any big task's completion, there is nothing stopping me from doing releases after completing a number of small tasks.
2. Each change is aimed at improving the user experience. Thus getting these changes out as quickly as possible is important. There's no reason to prolong the end user's suffering from a less polished experience.

As always please feel free to provide any feedback/bug reports in the comments.

Full changelog

v1.33.5

• Auto-clear notifications if user looks at inbox screen.
• Updated the UI of the community info screen.
• Fixed a bug where the FAB button would be in the wrong spot if the keyboard is opened and closed.
• Fixed some minor bugs when searching for communities.
• Fixed a bug where image previews are blurry.
• Fixed some image viewer bugs.

v1.33.4

• Mention suggestions. When creating a post or comment, mentions (starting with ! or @) will show suggestions based what is typed.
• Changed long tap on an image in the post list to open the image options menu. Previously it would preview the image full screen. This change was made to make long tapping more consistent (long tapping things usually opens a context menu).
• Image preview redesign. Move buttons to the bottom of the screen for easier access. Translucent UI. UI auto hides on zoom.
• Fixed a bug with the layout "Large list" where images would be clipped on the sides.
• Fixed a bug where tapping "Share image" will cause the share sheet to show up constantly.

v1.33.3

• Rework the community options menu. Organized and updated the options shown.
• Added subscribe/unsubscribe as an action to the community options menu & link menu (for communities).
• Added a solid background color to community and profile icons so they don't look odd when placed in front of a banner.
• Added undo button to save post/comment snackbar.
• Fixed some snack bar layout issues.

v1.33.2

This is equivalent to release v1.33.1. It's unique to the Github release and was done to address a build issue.

v1.33.1

• Fixed two rare-ish crashes.
• Overhauled the community navigation logic. This should hopefully eliminate more navigation bugs.

v1.33.0

• Update message layout on the inbox screen to clearly indicate the sender and receiver.
• Better blocking experience. Blocking a user/community or instance should now show a snackbar when the action completes with a button to undo.
• Link menu enhancements. Long tapping "links" (eg. user name) will show more rich options that are specific to the link type. For instance long tapping a community link will show community options as well as link options.
• Removed setting "sharing images directly". Due to the link menu enhancements, the setting for "sharing images directly" is now obsolete because both options are always present for images.
• Fixed a bug where WEBM videos will not play.
• Fixed some weird navigation bugs.

This release adds the ability to create, edit or even delete communities. It also includes some very minor QoL improvements and bug fixes.

Full changelog

• Added an option to the Import & Export settings page to backup and reset your current settings.
• Added support for editing communities.
• Added support for creating communities.
• Added option to delete a community.
• Update back behavior. Tapping back while on a community that is not the home community will take you back to the home community instead of exiting the app.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a vertical line would appear on the right side of the screen.
• Fixed a bug where you can't swipe left to leave a post in certain situations.

Huge thank you to our translators Scambled777, Dieguito and Erik for the new translations! This release pushes translations for Hindi and Italian as well as partial translations for Swedish.

This release also cements Summit's translation process. These are processes I will need to go through on every release to ensure that (1) all translations are up-to-date in every release and (2) proper credit is given to all translators.

Full changelog

• Added support for Hindi (by Scambled777)
• Added support for Italian (by Dieguito)
• Added partial support for Swedish (by Erik)
• Added translators screen to give our translators credit.
• Added list of moderated communities to the user profile screen.
• Remove post & comment score from the profile page. These stats used to be reported by the Lemmy API but they were removed in v0.19. To keep with the spirit of the Lemmy devs I am removing these scores.
• Improve performance of the user actions screen.
• Automatically dismiss notification if user reads inbox item.
• Fixed some text formatting bugs.
• Support per-app language settings on Android 13 and above.
• Fixed a bug where sort would not work for multi-communities.
• Fixed a bug where the "post hidden" snackbar would appear more than one per post hidden.

Update

Due to the multi-community sort bug described here, I am doing a dot release since the bug makes multi-communities nearly unusable.

Changes:

• Added list of moderated communities to the user profile screen.
• Support per-app language settings on Android 13 and above.
• Fixed a bug where sort would not work for multi-communities.
• Fixed a bug where the "post hidden" snackbar would appear more than one per post hidden.

This release contains some general improvements to the app as well as a bunch of bug fixes. However, the biggest change from last week is not with the app release. It is the addition of the translations framework put into place. There will be a post about this separately.

Full changelog

• Added a new layout, "list with cards", which is essentially list layout but with cards as it's name suggests.
• Changed the timestamp of posts/comments to show the time when it was published instead of the time it was updated.
• Changed hide post to show a snackbar with an undo button.
• Improve link/image menus and make them more consistent. Long tapping an image will show a more specific image actions menu. Long tapping on embedded images will show the same menu. The overflow button in the image viewer brings up the same menu.
• Fixed a bug where comments in the saved and search screens do not show vote counts and their voting buttons do nothing.
• Fixed a rare bug where videos supported by the app are unable to be played.
• Fixed a bug where the save post button in the quick action menu will do the opposite of what it's supposed to (eg. when it's supposed to save the post it removes it and when its supposed to remove the post from saved, it saves it).
• Fixed a bug where anything wrapped in angle brackets (<like_this>) would be removed from a post/comment.
• Fixed a bug where refreshing on the inbox screen will not auto-scroll to the top of the list.
• Fixed a rare crash that can occur when downloading videos.

This update adds notifications support to the app. Notifications will need to be enabled on a per-account basis to reduce the amount of unnecessary API calls. You can find notifications & their per-account settings in Settings > Notifications. By default notifications are disabled.

When notifications are enabled, you will get notified of any unread DMs, mentions or replies to your posts. In addition, if you are an admin or mod, you will also get notified of reports.

Like previous updates, this update also adds a lot of quality of life improvements such as better video support and bug fixes. See the full change log for details.

Due to notifications being a big change, this release will be rolled out slowly over the next two days to reduce the impact of bugs on users.

Full change log

• Added notifications as an optional feature to the app. This feature is off by default. To enable, go to Settings > Notifications.
• Added support for RedGifs.
• Added more options in the built-in video player.
• Changed the comment screen to auto focus the input field when first shown.
• Fixed an issue where custom comment gesture actions where not being applied.
• Fixed a regression with screenshot mode where post actions are not hidden when in screenshot mode.
• Fixed some inconsistent scrolling behavior throughout the app.

Update

Rollout complete. There is one minor bug found but it was very minor so I will punt for next update. The bug is, if you tap on a notification, it will take you to the message in your inbox, however when you go back (to your inbox) the message looks like its not read yet. This is a client side bug only; the message is correctly marked as read on the server.

Update 2

There is a very minor update for the Github release to fix a crash that is only present in the Github release (there was some code that had undefined behavior so the Github and PlayStore versions had different behavior despite being compiled from the same code). Thus the Github release is v1.29.1.
