v0.4.0
0.4.0 (2026-07-16)
This release introduces in-app chat with full messaging functionality, improved handling of media uploads (including thumbnails and video posters), and significant performance optimizations for image handling.
✨ Highlights
- Chat functionality: Send, fetch, and delete messages directly in the app. Now with API documentation for chat operations! (#cc599d1, #7770774)
- Enhanced media uploads: Added support for image variants, thumbnail generation, and video posters for a visually enriched experience. (#2e524be, #9f922b7)
- Improved performance: Better image and avatar caching, alongside optimizations to screen components like MediaPicker and PhotosScreen. (#0558a1f, #ae1cd27)
- Bug fix: Fixed an issue where the app didn’t default to the first family group in chat when multiple options were available. (#938a2c4)
⚠️ Breaking changes
- Thumbnails and video posters will only generate for newly uploaded media. Previously uploaded files will not be updated retroactively. No additional actions are required, but keep this in mind if upgrading from an earlier version.
