Hi, Connect 1.0.63 is our two week birthday (from this post). Hard to imagine it’s only been two weeks. This version brings a lot of new things but the big features would be instance level blocking, ‘show more comments’ buttons to make comment views more compact, new theme options, and the ability to mark a post as read while scrolling.
What’s new
- Added community icons next to names in the main feeds
- Added an option to show @instance labels on all usernames and communities
- Added instance level blocking
- Added dividers between cards
- Create post community suggestions are improved, will now autofill with your subscriptions and suggest a community you’ve subscribed to first
- Added show more comments buttons
- Added option to mark posts as read on scroll
- Added more theme options
Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the profile tab not refreshing in some scenarios
- Changed community icons to be smaller and they should load faster
- Added some new sort options for posts
- Fixed notification icon hopefully (no more blank square)
- Fixed swipe to reply not working from the inbox
- Viewing a comment from your inbox will now remove the comment when you go back
- Improved the tap target when interacting with a short comment
- Fixed an issue with uploading an image in comment view
- comment title text now wraps instead of getting cut off
- Improved memory usage when scrolling through a lot of images (still some more improvements coming on this one, we’re not freeing up images in memory as often as we could be)
- Fixed an issue with NSFW communities not being searchable (and subsequently some link handling being broken if the community is marked nsfw)
- Fixed an issue with the search back button
- Fixed an issue with incorrect passwords if the length is more than 60 (it’s now capped to 60 which is what Lemmy does).
In case you’re wondering what was in versions .60-.62, they were all minor hotfixes that have been combined into this list. Also for those wondering when it’s going to be open sourced it’s coming, I hear you! my focus right now is on adding features and improvements.
