@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

@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!

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.1.0-beta13 available!

Changelog:
🦝 migration to Material3 pull-to-refresh components;
🦝 moved app info to navigation bar and improve "About" dialog;
🦝 add open-source licences screen;
🦝 additional more readable font;
🦝 redesign application icon and splash screen;
🦝 add new l10ns (Polish and Portuguese);
🦝 fix spoiler closing immediately after being opened;
🦝 added experimental support to background notification check;
🦝 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!

@RaccoonForFriendica features/improvements I'll be considering for the next beta release:

• improve login flow with more detailed error and progress indications;
• state management in profile screen (scroll state is lost after navigating back and forth);
• fix bug due to which spoilers are hidden again shortly after having been expanded.

Let me know if you find other bugs or have any requests, I am planning to fix as much as possible to get to a stable release in the following weeks (the time required may vary depending on the amount of issues found).
