@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.
If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).
If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:
- feat: add per-user rate limits;
- feat: suggest hashtags while typing;
- feat: swipe navigation between posts;
- feat: exclude stop words from timelines;
- feat: add shortcuts to other instances ("guest mode");
- feat: open post detail as thread;
- feat: post translation;
- feat: followed hashtag indication;
- feat: show source protocol for posts;
- enhancement: support for embedded images.
This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.
Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.
Its "latest and greatest" are:
- tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags);
- new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.
The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).
It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.
Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash

@Peter Vรกgner Aside note:
As far as I know, you can only send posts to a Friendica forum with an exclamation mark to have them forwarded to all members. But you cannot do that with comments, not in a conversation whose (start) post did not go to that forum.
On Friendica and all its descendants, a reply is never a stand-alone post. It's always a comment on another post.
Thus, mentioning a Friendica forum in a comment with an exclamation mark is futile.

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!
Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.

@Piero Bosio thanks for the feedback! Let me see if I understand your idea correctly: do you mean to add more options (e.g. "add image", "embed image", "add link", etc.) in the drop-down menu shown in the post creation page?

@RaccoonForFriendica I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!
Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated!
@Fitik @Cฤtฤ @TamilNeram @Ricky-Tigg
To old users, I've added two new big features:
- swipe navigation, which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail;
- the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there.
Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.
Have a nice weekend and #livefasteattrash

I think it's a "feel" issue more than a "functional" issue. I went to double check but the app is just stopping on me. Might be my phone''s being difficult.
I think the account switch is maybe a bit too far out of the way to be readily available. The menu opens up to access the account dropdown, and then you switch to the other account and the menu stays there.
My first thought is that switching to the account should acknowledge the change and then retract the menu. It took me a while to guess my way into swiping the menu to the side to dismiss it.
I was able to switch between Friendica and Mastodon well enough, but maybe there's a way to float that switch up to the top a bit more.

@xinit ok I'll add a message in a snackbar to acknowledge that the change has happened and close the side menu.
You can also switch the account from your profile screen using the top right button, even in that case I'll add a snackbar when the change happens.
Thanks for explaining it to me.

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.0-beta05 available for testing!
This is mainly a maintenance/bugfix release with no brand new features, just:
- chore(l10n): translation updates;
- fix(10n): format specifier used in hashtag list;
- chore(qa): add more unit tests;
- chore: add mentions of new contributors.
I'm setting up the process to be able to distribute the app on Google Play too. If you are willing to help, we need a minimum number of people to participate in the closed testing program for two weeks before releasing to production. To enroll, first join this group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play, then download the app using this invitation link.
Any help is highly appreciated! #livefasteatrash

ich finde jetzt nur einen Beitrag bei dem das zutrifft. Habe mit RacconForFriendica auf einen Post geantwortet. Der Beitrag ist aber auch hier als Beitrag und nicht als Antwort unterm Beitrag zu finden.
Muss ich nochmals genauer beobachten. Evtl war das auch irgendwie ein Fehler von mir.

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!
Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.
I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.
Happy New Year and remember to #livefasteatrash

@RaccoonForFriendica do you want to try the new "Card" layout for posts? All you have to do is downloading version 0.4.0-beta02 and try it out! Using Compose Multiplatform, customizing UI is as easy as eating a piece of cake.
This version also contains a fix for the search text field which was not scrollable horizontally when its content exceeded the available width, plus some localization updates.
We're reaching towards the 0.4.0 milestone, just another feature (audio playback) and then it'll be ready to go!

๐ฆ fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
๐ฆ fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.1.0-beta13 available!
Changelog:
๐ฆ migration to Material3 pull-to-refresh components;
๐ฆ moved app info to navigation bar and improve "About" dialog;
๐ฆ add open-source licences screen;
๐ฆ additional more readable font;
๐ฆ redesign application icon and splash screen;
๐ฆ add new l10ns (Polish and Portuguese);
๐ฆ fix spoiler closing immediately after being opened;
๐ฆ added experimental support to background notification check;
๐ฆ code refactoring and cleanup.
The icon change was made necessary because in order to display notifications in the status bar a small monochrome icon has to be provided and the old one has too many details. But since every cloud has a silver lining, this was the occasion to redesign a new one and, by combining it with the icon of the Lemmy app, create a logo for the Procyon project, i. e. the umbrella organization both clients belong to.
Have a great weekend and, remember, #livefasteattrash!

in reply to Jonas โ โข โขOk seen it. It is due to encrypted shared preferences (used to store on device your auth token). It fails to open after you restore the app, probably due to failure to decrypt them because the key changes when you reinstall it. I'll investigate more to see if there are workarounds.
Seemingly it is a known issue.
