Record screenshot
Video
Click to view this content.
Welcome to v1.41.0. This release adds a feature I've wanted for a while now (but likely no one else wanted). This release adds the ability to record an advanced screenshot.
In some cases, posts and comments can contain animated GIFs. When taking screenshots of these, context may be lost because the GIF animation is removed. The record screenshot feature allows users to take a recording of a screenshot, preserving animated GIFs in posts or comments. The feature allows you to record a screenshot as either a GIF, MP4 or WEBM and contains a lot of configurable settings.
Note that this feature currently does not work for videos (eg. MP4s) in posts because the video player renders these in a specialized way that cannot be captured by the method used by the app.
Full changelog
- Added a feature to "record" a screenshot as a video or GIF.
- Added option to mark a post as read/unread in the post option's menu.
- Changed long tap on the header, expand button or the side to expand actions as well.
- Fixed a bug where links are invisible in conversations.
DMs redesign
The focus of this release is DMs. Direct messages have been difficult to manage and respond to in the past especially for message chains. This release cleans up the DM experience to make them much easier to use.
Full changelog
- Redesigned the DM experience.
- Changed messages in the inbox. Messages sent by you will no longer show up in inbox.
- Make it more obvious when loading in the inbox screen(s)
- Changed the "Mark as read" gesture to toggle the read state of the post. Eg. if a post is read and the gesture "Mark as read" is performed, the post will be marked as unread.
- Added a fade effect to the bottom screen when screens are stacked together. Eg. when viewing a post from the community feed.
- When viewing a reply message in the inbox, added a button in the context section to make it easier to see the post of the reply.
- Fixed a bug where the navigation bar does not highlight the correct item in certain cases.
- Fixed a bug where the open link button is visible when no image is shown in the post list.
- Fixed some bugs that occur when viewing a link to a Lemmy post of another instance.
- Fixed some minor bugs with people search.
v1.40.1
There were some dependency issues so I had to do a version bump. There shouldn't be any changes from the base release though.
v1.40.2
- Fixed a bug where images are not shown/loaded within direct messages.
- Added a full text editor to the send message input field. When sending a direct message, you will be able to tap on the full editor button to open the "advanced text editor" to make it easier to compose more complex messages.
- Fixed a bug where the post in the "context" section of an inbox message would have a random amount of whitespace at the bottom.
General improvements
This update focuses on general app improvements and bug fixes.
Full changelog
- Added new image loading animation.
- Improved styling on collapsed comments. Voting on a collapsed comment will update the score and cause the score color to change.
- Fixed many bugs with the layout "list with cards". Specifically it was missing the voting buttons and the comments counter. This has been added. Several other fixes has also been applied for this layout.
- Fixed a bug where the header text of a post would be cut off when using certain layouts.
- Fixed a bug where the link icon would appear on a post even if the post does not contain a link.
- Fixed a bug where paragraphs within a spoiler block may not be correctly formatted.
- Support subscripts in markdown (forexample)
- Fixed a bug where opening. closing and opening the same post will cause the post to not be highlighted when the post is closed.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes you can drag a blank window from the right side of the screen.
- Fixed a bug where the progress bar when loading videos does not conform to the app theme.
Offline support
This release adds the option to offline a post feed, giving you the freedom to browse while offline. The use case here is if you know ahead of time you are going to be offline you can download a feed beforehand and read it later.
This release also implements several user requests.
Full changelog
- When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
- Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.
- Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.
v1.38.1
- Fixed a bug when viewing a post on another instance, tapping the switch instance button will not show an error message if the post cannot be found on your instance.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes posts are not mark as real on v0.19.5 instances.
v1.38.2
- No changes. Accidental versioning issue.
v1.38.3
- Fixed a bug where back press was not being handled within dialogs leading to several other issues such as new comments/posts not auto saving as drafts.
Prefetch posts & community icons
This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.
This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.
Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.
Full changelog
- Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
- Added support for community icons in the post feed.
- Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
- Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
- Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
- Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.
Update
Made a couple versioning mistakes so this will be released as v1.37.2 instead.
Update
I submitted the release but changes are in review still. It's been in review for over 5 hours so it feels like it's going to take a while before it's released to the play store.
NSFW mode
This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.
The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.
When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.
This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.
Full changelog
- Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
- Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
- Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
- Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
- Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
- Fixed a minor bug where the background of the inbox screen does not take up the entire height of the screen.
- Fixed a bug when using the screenshot feature to take a screenshot of a comment without the post. Remove the divider at the top of the screenshot that serves no purpose.
- Fixed a bug where sending an image to the app would show a bottom sheet but the bottom sheet would not be expanded.
All subscribed feed
This update adds a new feed: all subscribed. This is the first feed that combines the feeds of multiple accounts, it lists posts from your subscribed communities from all of the accounts.
This update also reorganizes the app settings as well as some other changes. See the full changelog below for details
Full changelog
- Added a new setting to hide the UI in the image viewer by default.

- Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.
Update
Had to bump to v1.35.1 because I forgot to update the version number. v1.35.1 was submitted to the play store last night but it is still in review almost 24 hours later. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon :x.
Update
v1.35.1 is fully rolled out now.
Small features & improvements
We're going back to implementing new features with this release. However just like most release, this one also contains a lot of bug fixes and general improvements.
Full changelog
- Added a setting to choose a "quick action" for the post feed floatiing action button (FAB) (button at the bottom). When set, this action will trigger when the FAB is long pressed.

- Fixed a rare crash.
Update
I accidentally did a release without changing the changelog within the app so I am bumping the version to v1.34.1 to address this issue.
Update 2
Fixed some bugs with the release. Releasing as v1.34.3.
Update 3
Fixed a bug where the edited time displayed was incorrect. This fix is released in v1.34.5.
Fine tuning
Welcome to v1.33.x.
This release is going to be a little different from the others.
While other releases are centered around big features or tasks, this release is centered around a large number of small changes.
Due to this, I am going to be breaking this release into multiple small point releases. The reasons for doing so are:
- Since this release doesn't hinge on any big task's completion, there is nothing stopping me from doing releases after completing a number of small tasks.
- Each change is aimed at improving the user experience. Thus getting these changes out as quickly as possible is important. There's no reason to prolong the end user's suffering from a less polished experience.
As always please feel free to provide any feedback/bug reports in the comments.
Full changelog
v1.33.5
- Auto-clear notifications if user looks at inbox screen.
- Updated the UI of the community info screen.
- Fixed a bug where the FAB button would be in the wrong spot if the keyboard is opened and closed.
- Fixed some minor bugs when searching for communities.
- Fixed a bug where image previews are blurry.
- Fixed some image viewer bugs.
v1.33.4
- Mention suggestions. When creating a post or comment, mentions (starting with ! or @) will show suggestions based what is typed.
- Changed long tap on an image in the post list to open the image options menu. Previously it would preview the image full screen. This change was made to make long tapping more consistent (long tapping things usually opens a context menu).
- Image preview redesign. Move buttons to the bottom of the screen for easier access. Translucent UI. UI auto hides on zoom.
- Fixed a bug with the layout "Large list" where images would be clipped on the sides.
- Fixed a bug where tapping "Share image" will cause the share sheet to show up constantly.
v1.33.3
- Rework the community options menu. Organized and updated the options shown.
- Added subscribe/unsubscribe as an action to the community options menu & link menu (for communities).
- Added a solid background color to community and profile icons so they don't look odd when placed in front of a banner.
- Added undo button to save post/comment snackbar.
- Fixed some snack bar layout issues.
v1.33.2
This is equivalent to release v1.33.1. It's unique to the Github release and was done to address a build issue.
v1.33.1
- Fixed two rare-ish crashes.
- Overhauled the community navigation logic. This should hopefully eliminate more navigation bugs.
v1.33.0
- Update message layout on the inbox screen to clearly indicate the sender and receiver.
- Better blocking experience. Blocking a user/community or instance should now show a snackbar when the action completes with a button to undo.
- Link menu enhancements. Long tapping "links" (eg. user name) will show more rich options that are specific to the link type. For instance long tapping a community link will show community options as well as link options.
- Removed setting "sharing images directly". Due to the link menu enhancements, the setting for "sharing images directly" is now obsolete because both options are always present for images.
- Fixed a bug where WEBM videos will not play.
- Fixed some weird navigation bugs.
Create/edit communities
This release adds the ability to create, edit or even delete communities. It also includes some very minor QoL improvements and bug fixes.
Full changelog

- Fixed a bug where sometimes a vertical line would appear on the right side of the screen.
- Fixed a bug where you can't swipe left to leave a post in certain situations.
Release new localizations
Huge thank you to our translators Scambled777, Dieguito and Erik for the new translations! This release pushes translations for Hindi and Italian as well as partial translations for Swedish.
This release also cements Summit's translation process. These are processes I will need to go through on every release to ensure that (1) all translations are up-to-date in every release and (2) proper credit is given to all translators.
Full changelog
- Added support for Hindi (by Scambled777)
- Added support for Italian (by Dieguito)
- Added partial support for Swedish (by Erik)
- Added translators screen to give our translators credit.
- Added list of moderated communities to the user profile screen.
- Remove post & comment score from the profile page. These stats used to be reported by the Lemmy API but they were removed in v0.19. To keep with the spirit of the Lemmy devs I am removing these scores.
- Improve performance of the user actions screen.
- Automatically dismiss notification if user reads inbox item.
- Fixed some text formatting bugs.
- Support per-app language settings on Android 13 and above.
- Fixed a bug where sort would not work for multi-communities.
- Fixed a bug where the "post hidden" snackbar would appear more than one per post hidden.
Update
Due to the multi-community sort bug described here, I am doing a dot release since the bug makes multi-communities nearly unusable.
Changes:
- Added list of moderated communities to the user profile screen.
- Support per-app language settings on Android 13 and above.
- Fixed a bug where sort would not work for multi-communities.
- Fixed a bug where the "post hidden" snackbar would appear more than one per post hidden.
General improvements
This release contains some general improvements to the app as well as a bunch of bug fixes. However, the biggest change from last week is not with the app release. It is the addition of the translations framework put into place. There will be a post about this separately.
Full changelog
- Added a new layout, "list with cards", which is essentially list layout but with cards as it's name suggests.
- Changed the timestamp of posts/comments to show the time when it was published instead of the time it was updated.
- Changed hide post to show a snackbar with an undo button.
- Improve link/image menus and make them more consistent. Long tapping an image will show a more specific image actions menu. Long tapping on embedded images will show the same menu. The overflow button in the image viewer brings up the same menu.
- Fixed a bug where comments in the saved and search screens do not show vote counts and their voting buttons do nothing.
- Fixed a rare bug where videos supported by the app are unable to be played.
- Fixed a bug where the save post button in the quick action menu will do the opposite of what it's supposed to (eg. when it's supposed to save the post it removes it and when its supposed to remove the post from saved, it saves it).
- Fixed a bug where anything wrapped in angle brackets (<like_this>) would be removed from a post/comment.
- Fixed a bug where refreshing on the inbox screen will not auto-scroll to the top of the list.
- Fixed a rare crash that can occur when downloading videos.
Notifications & RedGifs
This update adds notifications support to the app. Notifications will need to be enabled on a per-account basis to reduce the amount of unnecessary API calls. You can find notifications & their per-account settings in Settings > Notifications. By default notifications are disabled.
When notifications are enabled, you will get notified of any unread DMs, mentions or replies to your posts. In addition, if you are an admin or mod, you will also get notified of reports.
Like previous updates, this update also adds a lot of quality of life improvements such as better video support and bug fixes. See the full change log for details.
Due to notifications being a big change, this release will be rolled out slowly over the next two days to reduce the impact of bugs on users.
Full change log
- Added notifications as an optional feature to the app. This feature is off by default. To enable, go to Settings > Notifications.
- Added support for RedGifs.
- Added more options in the built-in video player.
- Changed the comment screen to auto focus the input field when first shown.
- Fixed an issue where custom comment gesture actions where not being applied.
- Fixed a regression with screenshot mode where post actions are not hidden when in screenshot mode.
- Fixed some inconsistent scrolling behavior throughout the app.
Update
Rollout complete. There is one minor bug found but it was very minor so I will punt for next update. The bug is, if you tap on a notification, it will take you to the message in your inbox, however when you go back (to your inbox) the message looks like its not read yet. This is a client side bug only; the message is correctly marked as read on the server.
Update 2
There is a very minor update for the Github release to fix a crash that is only present in the Github release (there was some code that had undefined behavior so the Github and PlayStore versions had different behavior despite being compiled from the same code). Thus the Github release is v1.29.1.
Custom post quick actions
This release polishes the app further with several bug fixes and general improvements. It also brings with it several new customization options. With this release, all user requests thus far have been implemented. The next release will likely include a feature from the original roadmap, so that will be exciting.
Full change log
- Added settings to set the default sort order on a per community/feed level.
- Added a setting to show all inline media in comments as links. Eg. if a comment has an image in the body, it will appear as a link instead.
- Added a setting to customize the post quick actions menu.
- Changed how hide scores works. Enabling hide scores will hide the score regardless of action. You can still check scores in the detailed views.
- Fixed a rare bug where expanding the content of a post within the community feed will cause the text of another expanded post to disappear.
- Fixed an issue where bottom sheets shown within dialogs have the incorrect amount of bottom padding.
- Fixed an issue where comments in the search screen are highlighted when they should not be.
- Fixed some incorrect padding issues.
- Fixed a bug where swiping on the post quick actions bar will not move you back to the post list screen.
- Fixed a bug where the comment icon size is inconsistent in places in the app. Also changed the icon for a new one.
- Fixed a bug where the comment button has the wrong styles if "Show up and down votes" is enabled.
Update
Fixed some issues with the release. These changes will be released as v1.28.1:
- Fixed a bug where swiping on the post quick actions bar will not move you back to the post list screen.
- Fixed a bug where the comment icon size is inconsistent in places in the app. Also changed the icon for a new one.
Update 2
v1.28.2
- Fixed a bug where the comment button has the wrong styles if "Show up and down votes" is enabled.
Update 3
v1.28.3
- Fixed a bug introduced in v1.28.2 the app can crash on startup if certain preferences were changed (post gesture size, comment gesture size and auto collapse comment threshold).
Filter comments
This release adds comment filters. Comment filters allow you to filter comments under posts based on the content of the comment, the name of the poster or the instance of the poster. You can find comment filters in Settings > Comment List > Filters.
This release also further polishes many aspects of the app, and should be an overall improvement to the user experience.
As always feel free to report bugs or request features in the comments.
Full change log
- Added comment filters.
- Added Controversial and Hot (scaled) to the list of possible sort orders for account defaults.
- Limit the app to only one (1) task per profile (eg. work profile). This addresses some edge cases.
- Fixed a bug where the inbox screen can end up in a weird state and the bottom navigation bar would hide when it shouldn't.
- Fixed a bug where UI shows old comment when a comment is updated.
- Fixed some inset bugs on wide screens (eg. landscape mode on a phone).
- Fixed a UI bug when both black theme and light theme are enabled at the same time.
The massive update
Normally I like to keep a continuous stream of updates going since why not let users enjoy the latest and greatest as new features, bug fixes and QoL improvements come out? But this release is different since Google took almost 2 weeks to review the last release. As a result this release is going to be a massive one.
The release adds four (4) big features.
The first feature is the long await support for tablets and other devices with large screens. When Summit is used on a device with a sufficiently large screen, many screens will become "two-pane" to better utilize the horizontal screen space. In addition, the bottom navigation menu turns into a navigation rail that will appear on the left. Starting from this release, large screen support is on by default. Just like most features in the app, you can also disable this feature in Settings > Misc.
The second feature added with this release is a brand new fully customizable comments quick menu. The comments quick menu is what appears when you tap on a comment (it's quick unlike the comment overflow menu where you'd need to tap again). Starting from this release, you'll be able to change what appears in the comments quick menu and you'll also be able to change the ordering of the menu items. You can customize the comment quick menu in Settings > Comment list > Customize comment quick actions.
The third feature is a partial rewrite of post/comment drafts. Posts and comment drafts can now appear on the same screen, however this is not on by default. When in the post/comment drafts screen you can tap on the "Show all" button (top right) to reveal all drafts.
The last feature added with the release is the ability to view posts that have been filtered out for one reason or another. Filtered posts will appear as collapsed posts. Tapping on them will expand them, showing the post's contents. This new setting is available in Settings > Post list, under Filter.
As always there are many other smaller changes. You can read the full change log below for details.
Full changelog
- Added large screen support. On devices with wide screens, certain screens will present their content as multiple panes, utilizing the full width of the device.
- Rewrote comment quick actions bar, allowing the actions to be customized.
- Added a button in the drafts browser to toggle between filtered view and unfiltered view. When filtering is turned off, all drafts are shown regardless of whether they are posts or comment drafts. If a incompatible draft is selected (eg. you're composing a post but choose a comment draft) then the app will do it's best to convert the draft into the correct type.
- Added a setting to show filtered posts as collapsed posts in the community post list. This setting is available in the Post list settings page. It is under the Filters section.
- Added the create post button on all community feeds. Previously the create post button would only appear in the overflow menu if you are viewing a single community. With this change, the create post button will appear no matter which community feed you are viewing. However the community field will not be auto-populated if the create post button is not tapped from a single community feed.
- Updated the quote button in the text field editor to insert quotes on every selected line.
- Updated some UI to be more consistent with the Android OS.
- Fixed a bug where tapping (or gesturing) "Hide post" will not hide the post. This may occur if the app is backgrounded and then restored from the background.
- Fixed more edge case bugs with the floating rich text toolbar.
- Fixed a bug where links to communities are not parsed correctly.
- Improved performance for both post views and comment views.
- Fixed a bug where tapping on the account button on the post page will not open the account selector.
- In the large screen layout (two-pane layout), added a placeholder when no post/comment/message is selected.
- Added instance block list to the lemmy web settings screen. You can now remove instance blocks from within the app.
- Fixed a bug where the upvote and downvoted button placement got swapped when using left-hand mode.
Update
Found some bugs. Doing another release as v1.26.1. Also not sure why this post was deleted or for how long but I restored it. I might have accidentally deleted it?
Update 2
Fix a crash and some other minor bugs. v1.26.2 is live.
Update 3
Some minor changes to the app. Releasing as a minor patch (v1.26.3) as there isn't enough here to warrant a new release:
- Fixed a bug where tapping on the account button on the post page will not open the account selector.
- In the large screen layout (two-pane layout), added a placeholder when no post/comment/message is selected.
- Added instance block list to the lemmy web settings screen. You can now remove instance blocks from within the app.
Update 4
Released v1.26.4.
Fixed a bug where the upvote and downvoted button placement got swapped when using left-hand mode.
Update 5
A lot of bug fixes. Going to release as v1.26.5.
- Limit the width of all dialogs so they don't look awkward on tablets.
- Fixed some strange bugs with the community selector sheet (sometimes it jumps way too high).
- Fixed a bug where changing the sort order sometimes doesn't refresh the feed.
- Fixed a bunch of UI bugs when comment quick actions are always shown.
Guest mode
This release adds many new features to the app. The main feature being "guest mode".
Guest mode addresses a blind spot of the app since it's inception: the ability to browse any Lemmy instance even if you don't have an account there. With guest mode, you will be able to set the instance to anything you want, even if you're signed in. To use guest mode, tap on the account switcher button (top right) and select Guest.
See the changelog below for all new features added by this release.
Full changelog
- Added "guest mode". This mode allows you to browse any lemmy instance without being required to be signed in on that instance.
- Added a new screenshot mode: Title and image only. This one is great for posts where the text is not necessary for the full effect of the post. Eg. when a post has a text description for accessibility but you're already giving all that up anyways since you're saving it as an image.
- Added a settings button to the rich text field toolbar. This allows users to change the order of the options in the rich text field toolbar.
- Added some fancy logic to the post creator/editor screen. The post body formatting toolbar will now detect if the keyboard is open and switch between being docked to the bottom of the screen or being docked below the post text field. Preview here.
- Added a new top level screen option: user profile. This option can be selected in the navigation settings.
- Fixed a bug where switching communities may not apply your preferred settings. Eg. sort order.
- Fixed a bug where not all elements will be visible in the account switcher dialog if the user is signed into too many accounts.
- Fixed a bug where leaving and returning back to the app may reset your order order.
- Make user profile images tappable.
- Fixed some bugs with the floating text field toolbar in the create post screen.
- Fixed a bug where videos do not show a thumbnail when using certain layouts such as Card 1, 2 or 3.
Update
Fixed some bugs with the app and releasing the update as v1.25.1. Changes are below.
- Make user profile images tappable.
- Fixed some bugs with the floating text field toolbar in the create post screen.
- Fixed a bug where videos do not show a thumbnail when using certain layouts such as Card 1, 2 or 3.
Update 2
Google is taking a long time reviewing the v1.25.1 release. It's been over 12 hours since I submitted it so we'll just have to be patient. The update is live on github however.
Save image for later
This update adds a feature I requested. Which is the ability to send an image to Summit for later use. Images that are send to Summit can be added to a post or comment like images on the device.
The main use case is that I find the system image picker to be lackluster for finding images. Sometimes it's way easier to find the image you want from an app directly. With the "save for later" feature you will be able to find an image you want to send from any app you'd like, send it to Summit, switch to the Summit app and then add it to any post or comment you'd like.
Summit is able to hold up to 3 images for you at a time. 3 was chosen as it's a good balance between practicality and storage space usage.
Full change log.
- Added "save image for later" feature.
- Fixed a bug where the "more" button in a post does not show all options when "relay mode" is enabled.
- Fixed a bug where unchecking an item in screenshot mode will not remove it from the screenshot.
Update
v1.24.0 has been fully rolled out on the play store. Users who get their updates from Github will get v1.24.1 instead because of an error with the release. v1.24.0 and v1.24.1 should be identical in terms of features/behavior.
Adding reasons to mod actions
This is a small-ish release. The main change in this release is adding a way to input a reason when performing certain mod/admin actions. See the full changelog for details.
I had originally planned more changes but it's been a busy week so wasn't able to get as much done. Enjoy!
Fully changelog
- Added "reason" to mod logs.
- Added two new admin actions: remove community and hide community.
- Added indicators on the community info screen for the hidden & removed state.
- Changed the following admin/mod actions to open a dialog which allows you to provide a reason: remove post, undo remove post, remove comment, undo remove comment, purge comment, purge community, purge post, purge user, ban user from community, ban user from site, remove community, hide community.
- Fixed a bug where changing accounts while browsing a community will not load the correct community.
- Fixed a bug where mods/admins listed on the community/instance information screen do not have instance information.
The new year update
Happy 2024 everyone! Here is a release to kick the year off. This release features all of the requests I've gotten during the holidays. There isn't an exact theme for this release and the majority of the changes are minor. However there are a lot of changes.
As usual the release will be going out shortly to both Github and beta testers on the play store. Once I've confirmed the build is stable the release should be available to every one else. Expect ~12 hours before the release is available to everyone.
Full changelog
- Added a warning dialog if send is hit when there is an in-progress image upload
- Added the option to add a date and a watermark to the "take screenshot" feature. These are now enabled by default.
- Added a setting to change between single line comment headers and multiline comment headers.
- Added a "saved" icon to posts and comments that are saved.
- Added a "change instance" button if a lemmy link is tapped but the instance does not match that of the current account.
- Moved the setting to change between navigation rail vs bottom bar to the navigation settings page. Previously it was in misc.
- Improve the UI of bottom sheets.
- Modified "back to the beginning" button in the overflow menu of the post list screen to take you back to the top without refreshing.
- Fixed an issue where comment view layout is really tall if both show avatar and show up/downvote is enabled.
- Fixed a bug where switching the navigation bar to rail/bottom bar will cause the bottom bar to become unusable until the app is either restarted or an orientation change is made.
- Fixed a bug where the highlighted icon in the nav bar is not visible when using the light theme.
The new (optional) footer for screenshots.
Update
There is a regression in the release. I will look to fix the issue and do another release after work today. For those curious, the regression can be reproduced by the following:
- Tap "Hide read"
- Tap on a post.
- Save the post.
- Go back.
- Post is gone.
This is caused by the new "show saved" feature. This feature relies on refetching a post on save state change in order to show the correct state of the post. However when "hide read" is active, this refresh will cause the post to disappear as it's being filtered out as the post is read.
Update 2
Fix has been submitted to the play store as v1.22.1. It should be available soon. I will also be releasing it to everyone as soon as I confirm nothing else is broken.
Update 3
Update is now fully live.
