Beeline 0.2.16

Making the pain worth it.

0.2.16

New

• Hashtag groups: in the add hashtag dialog, select Create hashtag group and add tag fields.
• A hashtag group searches its tags together as one chip. Its name defaults to the first tag.
• Mastodon-compatible servers allow four tags in a group. Misskey-family servers allow 100.
• Groups are saved on this device. Long-press a group chip to remove it.
• Polls work on Misskey-family and Mastodon-compatible servers. Create a poll, vote and see the results.
• You can edit your own posts on Mastodon and Sharkey servers.
• Quote posts interoperate with other servers. Posts can be local-only or scheduled.
• A video without a server-sent poster image uses its first frame as the poster.
• Search has one field with suggestions, post search, lookups and Trends.
• Search has Trending and News tabs.
• Photo Grid starts with your Search results as a chip that you can dismiss.
• Home shows a chip row with your lists, hashtags and antennas.
• Mastodon-compatible servers follow the hashtags you follow.
• Mentions appear as inline bubbles with the account name and avatar.
• The attachment menu holds Photo, Poll and Content warning.
• A new setting translates posts automatically. It is off by default.

Improved

• The composer uses floating bubbles over scrolling cards.
• A reply or quote uses the audience of the post it answers.
• A post you reveal stays revealed in the feed, post detail, media viewer and Photo Grid.
• The navigation bar is transparent, and content draws under it.
• Floating controls share one shadow. The top blur band is stronger.
• On Android 12 and later, content under the controls blurs. Android 10 and 11 show a gradient.
• Photo Grid tiles show a loading indicator, or a failed state with a Retry button.
• Beeline retries a media request once after a timeout, a server error or a rate limit.
• The hashtag field removes the # sign and stores tags without it.

Fixed

• Photo Grid tiles no longer stay empty after rate limit or server errors.
• Mentions show complete handles on both server families.
• A blank composer opens every time. Beeline never keeps an empty draft.
