It's been a long time since Summit first supported creating post/comment in the app. Since then, Lemmy has added several new features to posts and comments. This update brings feature parity between Summit and Lemmy, adding support for things such as alt-text and custom thumbnails.
This update also continues to polish the user experience further. The aim is to make the app a treat to use.
This update adds another layer of caching for images. When navigating to a post with an image, the thumbnail will be used while the source image loads. This should result in a smoother, more magical experience.
I'm going to be generous and leave the PieFed post up for one more release but I will definitely reset it next release. If you want Summit to support PieFed please upvote this post: https://lemmy.world/post/31899935 .
Full changelog
- Add a "detailed view" to the mod logs. Tapping a mod log event in the event list will open up a detailed view, showing full details of the mod log event.
- Update add/edit post screen to support custom thumbnails, alt text and language.
- Update add/edit comment screen to support specifying a language.
- Improve performance on post feed and post screen.
- Improve post viewing experience by showing the thumbnail image if it's available while the full image loads.
- Slight optimization rendering the action buttons on posts in the post feed.
- Change icon & splash background based on system theme (eg. light background for light theme, dark background for dark theme).
- Changed person/community mention auto-complete to insert just the mention by default. Eg. previously tapping on the suggestion
[email protected] would insert [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/u/idunnololz), after the change tapping it would insert @[email protected]. Add a long-press menu with the option to insert the full link.
- Fix a bug where punctuation is included in the url. Eg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/. is parsed as https://en.wikipedia.org/. instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/)
- Fix a bug where sometimes the inbox screen doesn't auto-refresh when you open it.
- Fix a bug where the cake icon will not correctly center in the line.
Update
Made some more improvements to how the app handles mentions. Hopefully this change will put a stop to all of the mention bugs. Doing a release as v1.66.1.
- Improve how mentions are handled. This indirectly fixes various mention bugs.
- Fix a crash when switching to an invalid instance on the guest account.
Update 2
Release v1.66.3 to fix a bug that prevents users from posting anything. (skipped v1.66.2 because I made a mistake).
Update 3
Found a few crashes introduced by this released. I did a quick fix for these and submitted it to the olaystore for release however the app was rejected due to some of the NSFW functionality. To resolve these issues I went along with how other apps typically handle these and require the user to sign in to see NSFW functions.
Apologies for anyone affected by these changes.
These changes are released as v1.66.5.
- Fix a crash when using custom actions in the post feed.
- Fix a rare crash that can occur when loading context in the inbox screens.
- Require user to be signed in to see NSFW features.
