Version 2022.2, released 2022-04-29
Platform:- iOS
Happy Gluon release day everyone. This one is packed with some minor new stuff and a LOT of quality of life improvements... just kidding with the minor new stuff ;) Let's get to it:
- [NEW] Focus mode - We've added focus mode for when you're in need of a break. Don't we all? Enable it straight from your profile screen, or head on over to settings to fine tune it. We'll hide the main timelines so there is less distraction. If you want to just show mentions, we have an option to put Gluon into a "Mentions" only mode.
- [NEW] The timeline now looks different. Different in a good way and much more room for content - no more wasted space.
- [NEW] Much improved settings screen and a raft of accents and ICONS. You can also change your accent colour depending on light or dark mode, because sometimes you want to go all neon green when the lights are out!
- [NEW] Lot's of new nitpicky settings for you to try out! Toggle between not showing replies on the main timeline (this is a good thing for some people), only show long posts, hide avatars, hide names and only show usernames and an option to show/hide a conversation icon so you can quickly assess (don't write that with one s) if the timeline item has a conversation going. And a few others, like opening a post screen every time you open Gluon, going hand in hand with focus mode.
- [NEW] Icons and accents... did I say that already?
- [NEW/IMPROVED] Much better timeline loading handling... that's a mouthful! The feeds are quicker to load in general and they update on the fly as you scroll, so they're staying up to date.
- [FIX] Fixed the Hemispheric Views app icon. Now using the official blue!
- [FIX] Tapping on Micro.blog specific links, will open the correct thing now instead of empty conversation views.
- [FIX] Fixes an issue when tapping on a @username within a timeline item and it not navigating to the profile in question.
- [FIX] On your bookmarks page, tapping an item will now open the correct conversation (it was blank before that).
- [FIX] Fixes an issue where your profile wouldn’t show up on the Reply screen.
- [IMPROVED] Settings that take you to a website now might open up in an external Safari/Browser instead of in-app.
- [FIX] Finally... on iPad... when rotating from landscape to portrait, or the other way around, images will now look correct.
- [FIX] On iPad, when navigating to the app from the background, the screens will no longer look super weird for a moment or out of bounds and shifted to the right.
- AND SO MUCH MORE...
Now stop reading, because I just want you to use the app.
Happy Micro blogging.
