v0.3.2
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).
