Tusky 26.0

This fixes a bug that caused Tusky to crash when encountering an unknown notification type. #4546

For changes since v25 see CHANGELOG.md.

Tusky 26.0 beta 1

New features and other improvements

• The blue primary color that previously was the same for all themes is now slightly lighter in the dark theme and darker in the light theme for better contrast.
  Consequently, the color that is used on top of the primary color (e.g. on buttons) is now dark instead of white in the dark theme. PR#3921 PR#4507
• New account preference "default reply privacy".
  Note that in contrast to the "default post privacy" this setting will not be synced with the server as Mastodon does not have this feature. PR#4496
• New preference "Show confirmation before following" PR#4445
• The notification tab is now cached on the device for better offline behavior.
  Since it shares the cache with the home timeline, interactions with posts will now sync between those tabs more often than before. PR#4026
• Tusky will now only make one call to the server to check which version of the filters api is supported and cache the result instead of everytime filters are needed. PR#4539
• The "Hide compose button while scrolling" preference, which had the main purpose of making content behind the button accessible, has been removed and bottom padding added to all lists that could be obscured by buttons. PR#4486
• When viewing media of a translated post the media descriptions will now also be translated PR#4463
• The custom emojis in the emoji picker are now sorted by category PR#4533
• Various internal refactorings to improve performance and maintainability.

Tusky 25.0 is almost the same as 25.0 beta 1, with the exception of a few bugfixes for bugs found during the beta phase.

Changes to 24.1:

New features and other improvements

• Added support for the Mastodon translation api.
  You can now find a new option "translate" in the three-dot-menu on posts that are not in your display language when your server supports the translation api.
  Support is determined by checking the configuration.translation.enabled attribute of the /api/v2/instance endpoint.
  PR#4307
• The language of a post is now shown in the metadata section of the detail post view, if it is available. PR#4127
• The transitions between screens have been changed to feel faster and align more with default Android transitions. PR#4285
• The post statistic section below the detail post view is now always shown to prevent layout shifts on the first like or boost.
  PR#4205 PR#4260
• The filters for boosts/replies/self-boosts in the home timeline have moved from general preferences to account specific preferences. PR#4115
• The json parsing library has been migrated from Gson to Moshi. This change will make Tusky no longer crash on unexpected server responses. PR#4309
• Small layout improvements to the header of the profile view PR#4375 PR#4371
• support for Android 14 Upside Down Cake PR#4224
• Various internal refactorings to improve performance and maintainability.
