v0.6.178

Note

This APK is for new installations and manual updates. If you installed Aster Mail from Google Play, it updates automatically. Aster-Mail.apk and Aster-Mail-0.6.178-full.apk are the same signed build: the first always points to the newest release and the second pins this version. Aster-Mail-fdroid-0.6.178.apk is the build F-Droid distributes.

What's new

• Recovery codes replace the recovery key. In Settings, you can view your codes, see how many remain, and create a new set.
• The Contacts screen is redesigned. Search sits above the tabs, rows are easier to scan, and when you edit a contact, each field is grouped with its icon.
• The emoji panel has tabs and search, and reactions appear as solid chips. You can add up to two reactions to each message.
• Recent messages show how long ago they arrived. To show the full date instead, turn off Relative dates in Behavior settings.
• If a recipient's encryption key has changed, Aster Mail asks you to confirm before it sends your message.
• Your profile shows the date you joined Aster Mail.

• A message you delete or move no longer reappears in the list.
• Attachments stay with your drafts.
• Passkey sign-in works as a second step on accounts that use a passkey.
