What's Changed

This release adds screenshot-based cross-posting, comments for X and FANBOX articles, an Open in Flare Safari action, new timeline appearance controls, and a substantially improved macOS workflow. It also improves Mastodon server compatibility and fixes important issues in media viewing, navigation, sharing, and post actions.

Added

  • Added screenshot-based cross-posting on Android, iOS, macOS, and Desktop. Flare renders the source post as an image, attaches it to a new post, includes the original link, and leaves the cursor ready for additional commentary.
  • Added paginated comments to X and FANBOX article detail screens across the native apps, including loading, retry, and pagination states. FANBOX comment replies retain their nested presentation.
  • Added an “Open in Flare” Safari action extension on iOS for sending the current HTTP or HTTPS page directly to Flare.
  • Added global and per-timeline appearance settings to limit media grids to nine items and keep action buttons with counts at a consistent width.
  • Added pull-to-refresh to VVO post details on Android and iOS, refreshing the currently selected Comments or Reposts section.
  • Added automatic iOS media cache maintenance. The image cache is limited to 250 MiB with a 14-day expiration, while the video cache is checked daily and cleared after reaching 512 MiB.

Improved

  • Expanded the macOS app menus with quick access to new posts, home timelines, notification accounts, account-specific sections, Discover, local history, RSS management, and Agent.
  • Reworked macOS post and article sharing into contextual menus with cross-posting, link sharing, screenshot sharing, FxEmbed and FixVX links, copy link, and open-in-browser actions.
  • Added post action context menus on macOS and improved compose windows so they resize as content warnings, media, polls, and referenced posts are added or removed.
  • Added an explicit Edit button for AI configuration fields on macOS.
  • Improved Android home navigation: accounts with more than ten home tabs now use a compact dropdown instead of an oversized scrolling tab row.
  • Mastodon composers now use each instance’s advertised character limit. Flare checks both the v2 and v1 instance APIs, caches the result per server, falls back to 500 characters, and uses the strictest limit when posting to multiple accounts.
  • Improved link-opening defaults on iOS with clearer account menus and canonical handles.
  • Changed “Save as default” in the link account picker to an explicit opt-in, preventing an account or browser choice from being saved unintentionally.
  • Updated Pixiv terminology and presentation from bookmarks to favourites, including heart icons, action colors, private favourites, and timeline labels.
  • Standardized compose input behavior across Android, iOS, and Web with text keyboard hints and sentence capitalization for posts, content warnings, alt text, and poll options.
  • Updated the iOS media download and preparation notification icon.

Fixed

  • Fixed Mastodon mention notification filtering and serialized notification types using the lowercase values expected by Mastodon-compatible servers.
  • Fixed Pleroma compatibility by retaining the supported exclusion-based notification query format.
  • Fixed Misskey reaction totals being replaced with an incorrect count immediately after reacting.
  • Fixed Misskey favourite actions when the local state was stale by checking the server state before creating or deleting a favourite.
  • Updated X API mutation identifiers for creating posts, reposting, and removing reposts, and added handling for newer preview and unavailable response variants.
  • Fixed VVO endpoints returning HTML page being treated as JSON failures instead of empty results.
  • Fixed Android media viewer orientation handling so the original screen orientation is preserved and restored correctly.
  • Fixed freezes caused by sheet and secondary-tab navigation on iOS 17.
  • Fixed iOS home tab identity so tab selection and account-specific icons remain correct when tabs are reordered or updated.
  • Fixed iOS shared post images using the wrong appearance or a transparent background; exported images now respect the selected theme and use an opaque system background.
  • Fixed unchanged account updates repeatedly re-emitting composer account-selection state.

Performance and Internal Changes

  • Regenerated the X API bindings for the current schema, including newer tweet, user, community, notification, media, and content-disclosure payloads.
  • Added regression coverage for article comments, FANBOX comment pagination, Mastodon character limits and notification queries, Misskey reactions, Pixiv favourites, VVO empty responses, X mutation identifiers, appearance overrides, and composer account selection.
  • Updated Material 3 to 1.5.0-alpha24, MaterialKolor to 5.0.0, Firebase BoM to 34.16.0, Sentry to 8.48.0, KSP to 2.3.10, XMLUtil to 1.0.1, and Compose Lint checks to 1.5.3.
