1.8.0

(This version requires macOS 12.0 Monterey or newer. If you have 10.13 High Sierra or newer, you want 1.7.0 High Sierra Edition instead!)

Features

• You can now swipe left or right on a toot to quickly interact with it: reply, boost, favorite, bookmark. If you prefer, you can turn this off in Preferences.
• Emoji autocomplete: both built-in Unicode emoji, and your instance's custom emoji now autocomplete in the status composer. Try typing :cat! 🐱
• Mastonaut now has a few features documented in the macOS Help.
• You can now open multiple compose windows at once. This is useful if, say, you were busy writing a reply to someone, and want to fire off a quick toot on something different in the meantime. (Contributed by @uliwitness)
• Previously, statuses would always cut off after 500 characters, then show a Show Entire Contents link underneath. You can now set a custom cut off in Preferences — a shorter one like 140 characters, or even no limit at all. (#138)
• Support for notifying of, and responding to, follow requests. (#99)
• This release offers preliminary support for macOS 14 Sonoma.

Fixes

• Whether you followed a tag wasn't checked reliably in 1.7.0.
• If a focused toot had an attachment (such as an image), the interaction buttons didn't appear correctly in 1.7.0.
• #130: clicking some links (e.g. those on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine) didn't work.
