the longer i wait for a new production release, the higher the expectations, huh? anyway, just released one, but don't expect it to be perfect! it never was, never will be. but it has some really, really cool features, compared to the previous version! i don't know when the play store or izzy's repo will publish the new version, but it's only a matter of time. who knows, maybe there will be a few hot fix releases the coming days?
new release, now out: https://github.com/sk22/megalodon/releases
i summarized the changes from the previous months like this:
- Improved, clearer thread view
- Open accounts/posts by sharing a website to Megalodon
- Load followers/favorites/… listings from origin instance
- Compatibility improvements for non-Mastodon servers
- Option to set post content type
- Support for copying URL from Recent apps on Pixel devices
- Auto-reveal equal CWs in threads
- Bugfixes and UI improvements
(where "Bugfixes and UI improvements" is really the biggest one)
so of course, the production google play release crashed upon launching… just published a new version, hope it gets approved soon and even more do i hope that the crash be gone
okay, after another broken release, i've released number 95 – disabling the troublemaking code minifier for now. should be published on the play store soon. sorry about all the crashes
@megalodon big fan of your work <3
@megalodon Big fan of your efforts! Thank you!
@megalodon Du bist die beste!
@megalodon These are like, exactly the sort of things I've wanted in a Mastodon app. Sounds great!
@megalodon except for the logo (sorry for that) I like everything about this app. It is my favorite. Big thanks for the nice job.
@megalodon
> Auto-reveal equal CWs in threads
yes!!!!
@megalodon just updated via the in app notification, for some reason I thought it would just take me to the Play Store
All good now!
@Informatiker92 ohh yikes!! aaaah
@Informatiker92 okay, it's arguably worse than before
@megalodon oh my god! THANK YOU!!!
@megalodon heads up: the diff link is wrong; should be
https://github.com/sk22/megalodon/compare/v1.2.0+fork.83...v1.2.3+fork.93, I think?
@cassidy oops, right. thanks!
@megalodon latest build from Play Store crashes on startup on my Moto G50 5g Android 12. May be Avast antivirus causing it, as if I install latest release apk from Github Avast complains about it being a malicious app. After ignoring AV warning, it starts OK.
@PhilRandal it's not avast; hopefully the next release (which hopefully gets published soon) will fix it!
@megalodon thanks. The github release apk is working fine
@megalodon
Unfortunately Google Play Store Version can't be opened after update.
Original Version from InApp update and from GitHub have no problems.
@megalodon Add me to the crashing after Play Store update list. Android 13 on Nokia G50.
