Summit

Welcome to v1.65.

This release brings some general polish to the app, rounding out some rough edges and aims to improve the overall user experience.

The major change included in this update is a fully fledged save/restore system for post feeds. This system works under the hood so you shouldn't notice any changes to the app. This system aims to make leaving and returning to the app a more predictable experience. You should no longer lose your place in the post feed.

If you preferred the old experience, this new save & restore system can be disabled in Settings > Post feed.

There are a lot of other minor improves too such as improved error handling and text editing. See the change log for more details.

Last but not least, I am going to start gauging interest for PieFed support starting from this release. If you want Summit to support PieFed please upvote this post: https://lemmy.world/post/31899935 .

Full changelog

• Save and restore post feeds on app recreation. This should make the app behave in a more predicable way. Eg. if you leave the app for extended period and come back, the app should now preserve exactly where you were before you left. No more losing your spot!
• Add setting to toggle save/restore post feeds on app recreation.
• Improve error messages.
• Manually add a workaround to get img.gvid.tv links to work in the app.
• Fix issue where some images won't load.
• Fix issue where user profile screen doesn't change when current account changed.
• Fix issue where "save post" button state doesn't reflect actual state of whether the post has been saved or not in certain cases. Eg. if the post is saved, the save post button should be filled.
• Fix navigation rail bugs when the navigation rail is on but large screen support is off.
• Fix a bug where comment timestamps do not update on refresh.
• Improve some of the text editor functions. Eg. better insert link logic, better quote, bullet list and numbered list logic.
• Fix a crash when downloading images.
• Fix crop tool's guidelines/overlay blending in with the image.
• Fix issue where text would wrap in the post/comment header when it's not supposed to.
• Fix video lock rotation button icon to show the lock icon when orientation is locked and not show the lock
