New

  • Polls on all messengers: see them with live results, vote (and take the
    vote back), make your own with the poll button next to the attach button
    (single or multiple choice, up to 12 options). Telegram allows polls in
    groups only. Votes are kept across restarts.
  • Text size: Settings → General, or Ctrl+Plus / Ctrl+Minus / Ctrl+0 (also
    Ctrl+=). Contributed by @Pierre-Pln-Bys (#21, #7).
  • Emoji shortcodes: type : and a few letters (:thu) for suggestions,
    Tab or Enter inserts. Contributed by @Pierre-Pln-Bys (#18, #5).
  • "Copy image" in the menu of photos. Contributed by @Pierre-Pln-Bys
    (#22, #9).
  • Settings → About: Report a bug, Suggest a feature, Known issues (GitHub).
  • Image viewer: Show in chat, Copy image (also Ctrl+C) and Save as (also
    Ctrl+S) next to "Open with default app".
  • Matrix invites can be accepted or declined in braids: an invited room
    shows " invited you" and Join / Decline instead of the message box
    (it said to use another Matrix client, and its name started with
    "[Invite]").
  • Select several messages ("Select" in the message menu, or Ctrl+click;
    Shift+click adds a range) to forward, copy or delete them together. (#25)
  • Telegram: " joined Telegram" messages are left out, and the new
    chat they open stays out of the list until someone writes in it. Turn
    them back on per account in Settings → Accounts.

Fixed

  • Signal: photos, files and voice messages could not be sent at all ("Not
    sent", also when forwarding): Signal's server now wants the upload's size
    when asked for an upload slot. (#26)
  • Signal voice messages play on iPhones: they are sent as AAC, as Signal's
    own apps record them (Signal on iPhone plays no Ogg). Needs an AAC encoder
    (gstreamer1.0-libav, recommended by the .deb); without one the Ogg file
    is sent as before.
  • WhatsApp photos sent together (an album) are shown; they were dropped.
    Older WhatsApp photos and files, removed from WhatsApp's servers, are asked
    from the sender's phone again, as WhatsApp's apps do. (#24)
  • Forwarding WhatsApp photos to Signal: the photo is downloaded (also older
    ones), and a Signal message whose picture cannot be uploaded is marked
    "Not sent" instead of going out without it. (#26)
  • WhatsApp unread counts were too high after connecting: of the chat history
    WhatsApp sends, every received message counted as new when the chat had
    any unread. Now only as many as WhatsApp counts; the "New messages" line
    sits accordingly (after your last own or read message, not above the
    unread count).
  • Links no longer open inside braids, with no way back (when no browser was
    running): the window never leaves braids, web pages go to the default
    browser. (#20)

Changed

  • An account that is not online has a bigger status dot in the sidebar, so a
    problem stands out.
  • Archived chats are quiet like muted chats: no notifications, a grey
    unread count, and "Archived" in the sidebar shows how many of them have
    new messages (it counted all archived chats).
  • Documentation formatting tidied up. Contributed by @Pierre-Pln-Bys (#19).
