@lemmy.worldLast release added some features I wanted in the app. So to balance it out, this release will be focused on adding features users want.
I got a large influx of feature requests which is great.
Since there are so many feature requests I am going to break this release into multiple smaller parts. This way I can push out new features as they are implemented instead of doing a massive release all at once.

v1.42.1
v1.42.2

optional.Update
v1.42.1 is being release at the time of writing (9/2/2024). It adds more user requested features.
Update 2
v1.42.2 is released to address a bug in v1.42.1.
Update 3
I'm going to be wrapping up on community suggestions work at the end of this weekend. I will try to implement as many of the remaining suggestions as I can however it's unlikely I will be able to implement all of them. If I cannot implement your suggestion in time, I will implement your suggestion in a future release. It just means that your suggestion might not be prioritized.
The reason why I am doing this is so that I can prioritize implementing other features that I think would improve the app. As the community suggestions release wraps up I want to thank everyone who shared their suggestions during the release.
Update 4
Released v1.42.5 which contains the last of the user requested features I will implement for this release.
Update 5
Fixed some bugs and doing another release.
Update 6
Fixing more bugs.
Update 7
Fixing more issues.
::: spoiler
, however I tested this on the website and actually the space between :::
and spoiler
is optional. Eg. the website renders :::spoiler
as a spoiler block. So for parity, I am changing the logic in the app to also allow :::spoiler

Stretch features (nice to have but I need to do more research)
Completed features
I will sometimes get a message notification and when I click the icon, it spins the loading animation and another refresh animation above it, but it seems to freeze/hang on actually loading the message. If I click on All messages then it loads it instantly.
Seems to happen most on messages I received while I'm actively using the app, not when it first opens and detects messages received. It will also at times do the spinning animations of it shows no messages, but I click on the icon to do a manual refresh/message check.
It's been occurring for a few days, maybe a week now, but I hadn't had much solid info on when/where there issue was coming from, but now having the click All workaround, I felt that might give you some place to start debugging. Let me know if there's anything else I might be able to look for or screenshot, as I don't know how recreatable something like this is.
I've noticed some different behavior of the drafts lately, but I hadn't noticed any release notes about it. When editing and then re-saving, it now overwrites the original. This bit me the first time I saw it, as when I went to delete the old version, that meant I deleted the only version. I like this behavior better by default I think, but was there a release post with changes I missed?
I was also wondering if the post preview could be worked into the draft section, perhaps via a long press to get the post preview window, or maybe different view options like with the post feed. I've built up a bit of a surplus of future content, so I forget which post is which, and with it not saving backups now, I worry about loading the draft to the post screen and messing it up somehow without having a backup now, so having the ability to preview with image content viewable would let me see which draft is which easier without the chance to accidentally edit and moving the draft up to the top instead of keeping it chronological.
As usual, I feel this may be an "only me" problem, so no priority here unless some of this behavior was an unintentional result of another update.
Thank you as always for your great work. Your frequency of updates and overall quality of the app is top notch!
I'm going to be implementing more user requests. If you have any leave them in the comments.
Changes so far:
So Summit for Lemmy already supports "advanced screenshots" letting you take screenshots of posts and comments with ease, allowing you to include any and as many comments as you want. However this doesn't work as well if the post or comments have animated GIFs in them. I'm working on a feature that will allow you to take an "advanced screenshot" but as a GIF so you can capture any video or GIF as well.
Changes so far
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
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
