Hi,
I'm working on the next release and there's a lot of changes so rather than just release it straight away I'd like your help! Hopefully this way those that don't want the newest features can enjoy a more stable experience and those that want to play with new features can do so as well.
Just posted 1.0.80 (should be live 1 hour from the time of this post), going to run some tests today and hopefully move this version into release tomorrow.
changelog:
Improved the comment navigator to no longer be stuck to the top of the screen
Fixed markdown previews on longer comments
Fixed sorting changes not taking affect on the post lists
Fixed always show comment bar
Fixed the bottom nav drawer on the profile pages
Commenting on a post no longer takes you to a single thread view, instead returns you to where you were
Fixed a bug where comments would be duplicated on loading subsequent pages
If the inbox is empty there is now a button to view the full inbox
1.0.82 Changelog:
Adds text colour customization
Improvements to image preloading and adding setting to control it
New:
I'm seeing 301 errors on pretty much every vote/comment/post I attempt through Lemmy.world. Seems fine on Jerboa & web.
Most of my previous issues seem fixed. Probably the most pressing preexisting bug I'm still seeing...
When I edit a long comment, I'm still seeing only the first 500 characters. Everything after that get removed. It's anywhere there's a & symbol in a comment. If you edit a comment with a & in it, it gets cut off at the &.
EDIT: Here's all I see when I try to edit the comment above. Looks like just the first half of the comment...
Thanks for the fixes it got a bit better, but still has issues
Post settings
(in the info you talk about cards but the title is about the generell posts?)
a better preview is needed inside the post best would be a Picture. It doesn't show what's happen exactly if you choose "limit Thumbails Height"
"Post Titles above images" should be inside Post settings because if affects the behaving
Comment settings
Is it possible to add comment dividers preview?
What exactly does "Handedness" nothing happens for me
Generell
If you deactivate "Bottom Bar Navigation" you have no possibility anymore to switch between, local/Frontpage/all or your subscription, I need to active it to even use the app :/
Liking the bottom bar. The Home button does seem somewhat inconsistent, though.
I would expect it to open the default feed no matter where you are in the app. And if you're already in the default feed, I'd expect it to scroll to the top.
Currently, it either sends you to the default feed, reloads the current page (e.g. when viewing a specific post), opens the "map" menu (e.g. Profile view), or does nothing (e.g. in the Inbox, possibly others).
Also, the center "Map" button menu can sometimes be dismissed by swiping down, and sometimes you have to use the Android "back" gesture.
I'll keep this comment here so as to not spam with beta updates but I've just pushed beta 1.0.77 which addresses some of the feedback I've gotten here. the comment navigator buttons should behave a bit better and hopefully the issue with settings being blown away is resolved.
I'm hoping to just do some more tests today and possibly package it up as a 1.1.0 release for tomorrow.
for card posting display, please have an option for fixed width so super long pictures are text post don't take up the whole screen.
Please save the setting I set when selecting sort by options (ie active, top, top six hours etc) I'm having to always change the setting each time it reloads.
I followed the link on Android and it took me to the version I already had installed and I didn't see any "Join Beta" options. When will the new test version be out.
Edit: the second link just says I'm not able to access the software.
Edit 2: The exact message I get when using the second link is
"App not available for this account
Your account isn't currently eligible for this app's testing program."
How do I add my email to the testing program?
Edit 3: everything appears to be working correctly now. Thanks!
One thing I've noticed, I tapped on the connect community and it took me into it, but I couldn't back out of it either using the back gesture or by taking the back arrow at top left.
Unfortunately Connect's settings aren't transferred and applied to this version. That's part and parcel with betas I guess. Eventually, it would be nice to have have a settings import/export feature. This would be useful in a variety of ways, particularly for those testing. If you decide to add it, I can understand if it takes some time; at your convenience.
I'm having the same problem with all communities. It's says 'Empty because all posts are being filtered". I've checked my filters and they're definitely that restrictive.
The only way I can get the Connect to load any threads is by opening them from either my comment history or saved posts.
Am I already a beta tester since I already have the 1.0.76 version? And google play has always said I am a beta tester.
Thoughts about 1.0.76:
Bug: the background color setting applies to both header and comments. It was better when it had grey header and black comments. Now I had to make the header black so the comments would look nice.
Comment navigation buttons look good so far but it scrolls to random places when I click them.
Liking it still! Good work!is there a way to swipe an image away in any direction, like Liftoff's implementation? I think other 3PA Reddit apps did it like that as well.
