• Show a status message, room topic or reply preview that has several lines as one line, instead of only its first line

Removed

• Remove themes, including the theme picker, the three alternative themes and loading your own theme files, so Ducko always uses the look of the former Default theme

Ducko 0.6.0

Added

• Bring back the chat window after relaunching Ducko, with the same tabs in the same order and the same one selected
• Rejoin the rooms you are in whenever Ducko connects, without an auto-join bookmark, until you leave them, including rooms joined with /join in ducko interactive
• Add a button at the bottom of a chat that jumps to the newest message, shown while you are scrolled up
• Keep each chat's reading position while the chat window is open, so switching tabs and back shows a chat where you left it

Changed

• Print a failed direct transfer in ducko interactive as error: <reason> (sid: <id>), and mark a failed transfer in /transfers with error: as well
• Say "the contact" instead of "the peer" in file transfer and encryption errors, call the list in Device Fingerprints "Contact's Devices", and end menu items and progress labels with a proper ellipsis
• Keep what you are reading in place when older messages load, a message arrives, a link preview appears, or the window is resized, and keep the newest message in view when you are at the end of the chat
• Count messages that arrive while you are scrolled up in a chat as unread, and send the read receipt only once you are back at the newest message
• Show that a contact is typing on the chat's tab only, no longer as a row at the end of the chat
• Leave a little space between the newest message and the message field

• Fix a contact's subscription request disappearing when your connection briefly drops
• Fix a folder being accepted for sending and failing only once the transfer had started, by refusing it right away
• Fix a message changing height, and the chat shifting with it, when a remote image loads, a delivery mark arrives, or a direct file transfer moves from waiting to sending

• Fix a read receipt being sent for a chat you had already switched away from

Security

• Prevent someone else from slipping messages into a chat's history while Ducko loads it from the server, by accepting history only from the archive that was asked and no more than was asked for

Ducko 0.5.0

Added

• Send a file straight to one of a contact's devices with Send Directly in the attachment bar, or with /senddirect in ducko interactive, instead of uploading it to the server, with a note in encrypted chats that files are not end-to-end encrypted
• Switch a chat's encryption on when the contact sends an encrypted message, with a note in the chat saying so, unless you switched it off yourself
• Open a contact's chat when they write or offer a file, behind the window you are in, without taking the keyboard and without marking it read, and bounce the Dock icon once
• Show delivered and read as separate checkmarks on your messages, print read markers as they arrive in ducko interactive, and mark read messages [read] in history
• Show a typing bubble in a chat's tab while the contact types

Changed

• Show a photo sent as a file as the photo itself instead of its link, in your own messages as well as received ones
• Load photos from people in your contact list right away in one-to-one chats, and show anyone else's as a placeholder with the file name that loads when clicked
• Trust a contact's new devices on first use by default, so a first encrypted message sends without verifying a fingerprint beforehand, and show those devices as Trusted in Device Fingerprints
• Show an encrypted message that could not be decrypted as a muted notice with a warning lock instead of as text from the sender, and mark it as an error in ducko output, with an undecryptable field in JSON

• Show a code block in its own box with a copy button on hover, and show inline code in a monospaced font

• Show the typing indicator and a file being received as rows at the end of the chat
• Show a chat's unread count at the start of its tab, in place of the status dot, instead of after the name
• Count a chat as read only while its window is focused, so messages that arrive while it is behind another window or the app is in the background stay unread
• Keep typing and presence updates coming while any Ducko window is on screen, also behind another app, and tell the server the app is inactive only once none is
• Title notifications with the contact's name from your contact list
• Upload a file with ducko send --file unless --method jingle is given, and accept a contact's bare address with --method jingle, which then picks one of their devices that takes direct transfers

Fixed

• Fix your profile picture disappearing for your contacts after you sign in or your connection briefly drops
• Fix line breaks being lost in messages that use styling or mention you
• Fix the status dot in a chat tab sitting further from the tab's edge than the name does

Security
