ChatDock Beta Build 1.7.3

New in Beta Build 1.7.3

• Instagram and Facebook pop-ups say who wrote: their name, their message and their picture, read from the chat list. These sites never send their notifications to ChatDock, so their pop-ups used to say only "new message". When the list can't be read, the pop-up says "new message" as before.
• Straight into the conversation: click such a pop-up, or the app in the edge tab while something is unread, and that conversation opens. After the chat has been hidden a while, a page left on a conversation goes back to its chat list (not while you're typing or in a call), so the next message can be read there.

Safer

• Nothing opens outside ChatDock without your click: a page or an ad can't open browser tabs, windows or programs by itself, and links only start e-mail and the chat apps' own programs.
• The mic and camera work only where each app's calls and voice messages run, and chat pages can't reach programs on this PC.
• Call and sign-in windows are ChatDock's own, with the same protections, and Hide from screenshots & streams now covers every ChatDock window.
• Updates can't stall, come back as an older version, or be swapped before they run.
• The log no longer contains your Windows user name.

Fixed

• After a click on the edge of a pop-up, the chat could stay over the game instead of hiding.
• Hide the chat in the tray menu opened it again, and a double-click on the tray icon opened it and closed it.
• Mute all chat pages muted calls too: a Discord voice channel stays audible now.
• The Update available button could spill out of the header and cover the volume bar.
• Switching off the app on screen could leave it loading, a page that kept crashing reloaded without end, and an app that failed to start didn't try again.
• Also: no double update checks, the log stays small, the zoom keys after Ctrl+wheel, What's new no longer opens scrolled down, and less CPU with the screen off.

Install

Already have ChatDock? Press Update when the update pop-up comes (or Check for updates in Settings → Updates). From an Electron version (1.4 or older), the installer replaces the old copy by itself and keeps your logins.

New here? Download ChatDock_1.7.3_x64-setup.exe below and run it. The installer isn't code-signed with a Windows certificate, so SmartScreen may warn: choose More info → Run anyway.
