Just a lot of polish and a few fulfilled feature requests. This update was supposed to be quick and improve the look and feel of the app as well as knock out some user requests but some of the changes took a lot more effort than budgeted.

Full changelog

  • Added support for SVG images
  • Added a setting to pick the location where files will be downloaded to.
  • Added 2 new global font size options: XXL and XXXL (extra extra large and extra extra extra large).
  • Added per-community view types. This allows you to change the view type based on which community is selected.
  • Improve the performance of the community browser/chooser.
  • Fixed an issue where the vote count is invisible on light theme.
  • Polished the look of a few elements within the app.
  • Fixed an issue where removed posts would not have an icon next to them in the post list.
  • Fixed a crash when using the built in screenshot taker to take screenshots of comments when avatars are enabled.

v1.21.2

  • Fixed a bug where leaving the app and coming back will reset the comment message in rare cases.
  • Updated the instance info screen to show more details.
  • Fixed a bug where scrolling past animated images may cause content to jump.
  • Fixed a bug where certain preferences are not displayed correctly.

v1.21.3

  • Fixed a crash that occurs when tapping on a lemmy link.
  • Fixed a crash when searching settings.
  • Added labels to the text formatting toolbar. Labels can be seen by long tapping the icon buttons.
  • Fixed some left handed mode issues.
  • Added a button to swap the upvote/downvote color in Settings > Theme.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping on the Summit community within Settings would put the app in a weird state.

Update

Found a crash that was introduced in v1.20.0. Will release v1.21.1 to address this crash.

Update 2

Released v1.21.2. Made some minor changes to the app and wanted to release it before the holidays. I'm not sure if I'll do any additional work before the new years so this might be the final update of the year (unless something breaks). Enjoy!

  • Fixed a bug where leaving the app and coming back will reset the comment message in rare cases.
  • Updated the instance info screen to show more details.
  • Fixed a bug where scrolling past animated images may cause content to jump.
  • Fixed a bug where certain preferences are not displayed correctly.

Update 3

Working on some more minor fixes:

  • Fixed a crash that occurs when tapping on a lemmy link.
  • Fixed a crash when searching settings.
  • Added labels to the text formatting toolbar. Labels can be seen by long tapping the icon buttons.
  • Fixed some left handed mode issues.
  • Added a button to swap the upvote/downvote color in Settings > Theme.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping on the Summit community within Settings would put the app in a weird state.

Update 4

Releasing all of the changes in Update 3 as v1.21.3.

Update 5

Checked the crash rate this morning and there are still some users experiencing crashes so I'm pushing out a new version to address those. Hopefully this is the last update of the year.

Thanks for the response and the help with the latter issue. with the Patreon thing, I worded it badly and was just wondering if it was worth checking the Patreon for new content, or if everything to do with the app would be here as I don't have the Patreon app and just used it as a way to donate, but your comment answered that anyway so thank you and sorry for wording things badly. ^-^

Thanks again for all your work. Hope you have a lovely new years :D
