Vibe 3.1.117

Vibe 3.1.117

What's new in this update

• Changelog: quote part fixes
• Pull back 3.1.116: removed from the AltStore/SideStore source (its download is being withdrawn); new "Pull back a release" workflow deletes a release and its tag
• Quote part fixes: the reply line above an answer shows the quoted words instead of the start of the original message; picking words is smoother: everything starts picked, tap the first and last word or slide a finger across them (no small text handles)
• Release notes and the AltStore/SideStore listing describe Vibe in its own words: no comparisons with other apps. New releases go through scripts/clean_notes.py, and a "Clean release notes" workflow rewrites the notes of past releases
• Changelog: swipe and hold to quote
• Swipe and hold to quote: swipe a text message to reply as before; keep holding past the reply point and the arrow turns into a quote mark with a second vibration, release to pick the words to quote. The first 3 swipe-replies show a short tip about it
• Changelog: quote part
• Quote part of a message: long-press a text message > Quote part, drag over the words and tap Quote; the reply bar shows "Reply to quote from name" with the words (tap it to pick again), and the reply is sent with those words as a quote that every Matrix app shows. New features can be highlighted with VibeNewHint (a glow sweep and a "New" label for the first 5 times); Quote part is the first to use it
• Changelog: instant shared media
• Shared media, links, files and voice messages open instantly: what's already on the phone from the chat shows first, older history is fetched from the server afterwards in smaller pages (300 instead of 1000 events per "Load more")
• Changelog: thread tree and text sticker switch
• Thread pane as a tree: a line down the side, answers to an older message indented under it with a curve, no repeated reply line above every message; and a Settings > Chats & storage toggle for the text stickers shown above the text box while typing (on by default)
• Changelog: correct the thread pane commit link after rebase
• Changelog: live thread pane
• Thread pane: stays open after sending; your reply rises from the text box into the thread and shows the chat's status dots as it goes (encrypting, sent, delivered, read); replies from others and status changes appear live while the pane is open
