#deltachat_desktop 1.48.0 is currently releasing. Lots of under-the-hood code changes and bugfixes.

AppStores, besides flathub already have the new release. flathub will follow soon.

#deltachat


#deltachat_desktop finally has Automated E2E testing again! 👨‍🔬 🧪 🚀

Thanks to the desktop team and #deltachat_web for making this possible.

Also thanks to #playwright for making such a nice testing solution.


For now this "#deltachat_web" project is merely meant as proof that the deltachat desktop frontend/UI has no dependency on electron anymore.

With a few nice side-benefits:

It allows us developers to use other browsers dev tools to improve #accessibility for example and to bring back automated ui #testing.

Last but not least this serves as a stepping stone to make a #tauri version of #deltachat_desktop

Stay tuned for the #nlnet funded #delta_tauri project.

Release Highlights

❤️ Send emoji reactions for messages
🔄 New Account Switcher sidebar with notification management
🔔 Get notified for all your accounts
⚙️ Improved settings dialog
✨ A whole bunch of refactorings, improvements and bugfixes

#deltachat


🔔 The next version will also bring multi account notifications to desktop.

🔕 You will also be able to mute accounts so you don't need to mute all chats by hand in your casual mailing list account.

For macOS users we removed the window titlebar, inspired by a popular proprietary gaming chat app. I think it looks quite cool now 😄

#deltachat #deltachat_desktop


If you use the #flatpak version of #deltachat_desktop and it crashes 💥 when you click on notifications or unread chats -> you can disable notifications as workaround to get rid of the crashes.

We unfortunately haven't found a solution for this problem yet. 😢

Seems to be related to a libnotify portal + electron issue.

If you want to know more or know something that could help us to fix this problem, the issue is here:

github.com/deltachat/deltachat…


Working on a more usable multi-account experience in #deltachat_desktop

In the future versions you will be able to switch between accounts more easily while staying informed about new messages from all accounts.

new #deltachat_desktop bug fix release is currently in the process of getting released github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

I will make another post/toot when it is available everywhere.


Release progress at : github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

The update is available everywhere, besides flathub which will take it bit longer. (help appreciated if you want it faster 🙂: github.com/flathub/chat.delta.…).

Do not upgrade yet if you use "mail.163.com", they implement IMAP strangely so a recent optimisation in Delta Chat broke support: github.com/deltachat/deltachat…
