Raven 0.12.0

@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Nov 18:04

Added

  • You can now choose which kinds of mail you hear about when they
    arrive. In Settings, under Notifications, pick from Important,
    Updates, Newsletters, Receipts, Promotions and Social. Only those
    get the pop-up, and the notification in the desktop app. All of
    them are on at first, so nothing changes until you turn some off.

Fixed

  • Choosing your city for the weather now also works with a state
    code after the city, like "Austin TX", "Vancouver BC" or
    "Sydney NSW". And when it has to search again, it waits about 8
    seconds at most, not 16.

@github-actions github-actions released this 02 Nov 15:20

Changed

  • On desktop, new versions now show up in a small button at the top
    of the mail and overview pages, not in a pop-up. It shows the
    download, then "Restart to update". When Raven is hidden in the
    tray, you get a notification instead.

Fixed

  • Choosing your city for the weather now works when you add the
    country or state after the city, like "Kaduna Nigeria" or
    "New York, USA". Before, these found nothing.

Fixed

  • The "What's new" card no longer runs off the top and bottom of a
    small window. Its list of changes scrolls, and the title and buttons
    stay on screen.

Raven 0.10.0

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Nov 18:06

Added

  • Raven now has a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. It's the
    same Raven, running on your own computer. Your integrations, rules,
    blocked senders and reminders are kept in a small database inside
    the app, so there's nothing to set up. These first builds aren't
    signed yet, so your computer will warn you the first time you open
    Raven. The README shows what to click. It tells you when a new
    version is out.
  • On desktop, Raven now checks for new versions by itself, when it
    starts and every 6 hours. You can also pick "Check for updates…" in
    the File menu (the Raven menu on a Mac) or in the tray menu. On
    Windows and with the Linux AppImage, Raven downloads the new version
    in the background and asks you to restart. If you pick Later, it
    updates the next time you quit. On a Mac and with the Linux .deb
    package, Raven tells you a new version is out and opens its download
    page. You install it over the old one.
  • A link to Raven can now start a new email for you. Put an email
    link after ?compose=, like /mail?compose=mailto:sam@example.com,
    and Raven opens a new message with the address, subject and text
    filled in. If you have unsaved changes in the message you're
    writing, Raven asks first.
  • On desktop, Raven can now open the email links you click in other
    apps. Turn on "Use Raven for email links" in the File menu (the
    Raven menu on a Mac) or in Settings. On Windows, this opens the
    Windows default apps page, and you pick Raven there, because
    Windows doesn't let apps make themselves the default. Raven never
    takes over email links unless you ask. raven:// links now open a
    message or the overview in Raven, even when it's closed.
  • On desktop, the links in emails and briefs you share to Slack,
    Discord or a webhook now open the message in your Raven app. They
    go through a small page on raven-mail.vercel.app that hands the
    link to Raven. If you don't have the desktop app, that page shows
    where to get it.
  • On desktop, Raven now opens where you left it, at the same size,
    and maximized if it was. If that screen isn't plugged in anymore,
    it opens on your main screen.
  • On desktop, Raven now tells you when you're offline. It checks if
    it can reach your mail server, so the notice shows when your
    internet is down.
  • You can now type your city to get the local weather. On desktop
    this is the only way, since the desktop app can't use your
    location. On the web it shows if you said no to sharing your
    location.
  • Before the desktop app updates its database, it now saves a copy.
    If the database won't open after that, Raven offers to go back to
    the copy.
  • On desktop, closing the window now keeps Raven running, so it
    can still check your mail. On Windows and Linux, open it again
    from the tray icon. On a Mac, click Raven in the Dock. To quit,
    use Quit Raven. If you'd rather it closes for good, turn off
    "Keep running when the window is closed". It's in the tray menu
    and the File menu (the Raven menu on a Mac).
  • On desktop, Raven now shows a notification when new mail comes
    in and you're using another window. Click it to open the message.
    You can turn this off in Settings, under Notifications.

Added

  • Raven is now open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Find the code
    from Settings → About or the link at the bottom of the home page.
  • Use your own TypeSafe key for Jev. Paste it in Settings → Account and
    Ask Jev and Deep triage run on your TypeSafe account. Raven checks the
    key before saving it, keeps it encrypted with your sign-in, and forgets
    it when you sign out.
  • A Settings page. Open it from the gear in the side rail, the account
    menu, or Ctrl/⌘ + ,. Every change applies right away and is
    remembered on this device. Search it with /, and each changed
    setting shows a dot with its own reset button.
  • Appearance settings: theme, a bigger size for everything, tighter message
    spacing, less motion, and fewer see-through panels.
  • Mail settings: load images automatically, load messages early, and
    choose how long you have to undo a delete (5 to 30 seconds).
  • Sync settings: check for mail when you come back to the tab, choose
    how often Raven checks, and turn off saving mail on this device.
    Clear Saved Mail wipes what's stored here.
  • Turn off one-key shortcuts like C, J and / if you type into the app
    by accident. The full shortcut list lives in Settings.
  • A pop-up when new mail arrives, with the sender and subject. Click it
    to open the message. Pick its corner in Settings.
  • A welcome tour that walks you through Raven in about a minute, read
    aloud in an American or British voice. Pick the voice on the first
    step or in Settings → Tour & Voice, where you can also turn the voice
    off or take the tour again. Your progress and voice follow your account
    to other devices.
  • What's New: after an update, a card lists what changed. The full
    changelog opens from the account menu or Settings → About.

Changed

  • Settings are written in plain English.
  • The home page fits phones better. The section markers no longer
    cover the cards, and the Overview demo uses the full screen width.
    The Ask Jev demo is shorter on phones: each answer shows its top two
    emails and stats with tighter spacing and smaller text, the suggested
    questions sit in two rows you can swipe, and the keyboard shortcut
    hint is hidden. The Overview demo leaves out Threads radar on phones,
    and the footer drops its tagline there.
  • On phones, the Orbit sender list starts with the top 5 senders instead
    of 8. "Show all" still opens the full list.

Fixed

  • Mail mix no longer draws two numbers on top of each other when two
    kinds of mail have almost the same count.
