@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.0-beta05 available for testing!

This is mainly a maintenance/bugfix release with no brand new features, just:
- chore(l10n): translation updates;
- fix(10n): format specifier used in hashtag list;
- chore(qa): add more unit tests;
- chore: add mentions of new contributors.

I'm setting up the process to be able to distribute the app on Google Play too. If you are willing to help, we need a minimum number of people to participate in the closed testing program for two weeks before releasing to production. To enroll, first join this group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play, then download the app using this invitation link.

Any help is highly appreciated! #livefasteatrash

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!

Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.

I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.

Happy New Year and remember to #livefasteatrash

@RaccoonForFriendica do you want to try the new "Card" layout for posts? All you have to do is downloading version 0.4.0-beta02 and try it out! Using Compose Multiplatform, customizing UI is as easy as eating a piece of cake.

This version also contains a fix for the search text field which was not scrollable horizontally when its content exceeded the available width, plus some localization updates.

We're reaching towards the 0.4.0 milestone, just another feature (audio playback) and then it'll be ready to go!

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.4.0-beta01 available for testing!

Changelog:
- feat: add "Distraction free" post layout;
- feat: add "Compact" post layout;
- feat: implement post dislike action;
- fix: retrieve post source for editing even for plain text;
- chore: translations update;
- chore: update dependencies.

Moreover, let me wish everyone happy holidays and remember to #livefasteattrash on Christmas and New Year's Eve.

A special and heartfelt acknowledgement goes to all the contributors of the #raccoonforfriendica project, people who helped with code, translations, bug reports, ideas for improvements, design, roadmap and in many other ways. Remember that this wouldn't have been the same without your contributions, and the fact that people who don't know each other (and don't even speak the same language) can meet and create something together is one of the best things of the free and open source model.

Hope we can continue in this direction next year. Thank you everyone, you are awesome ❤️🦝🎄

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.3.4 has been released.

I'm sorry for having released multiple versions in so little time, this is an exception situation and is due to 0.3.2 not being available in F-Droid due to this issue.

The only way was to migrate to a different dependency injection framework and, if you wonder what happened, never use the Koin Annotations library if you want your builds to be reproducible!

Changelog:
- refactor(di): migrate from Koin to Kodein;
- chore(l10n): update German translation (thanks @Thomas for your continuous improvements);
- chore: update dependencies.

Hope this is the last release until next year and, with this, I wish everyone happy holidays 🎉🎄#livefasteattrash

@RaccoonForFriendica Finally we have a Weblate project for the translations of the app UI, changelogs and metadata. Hope this will help us all create a better user experience and correct some localization mistakes!

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.3.1 has been released!

Here is a summary of the changes:
- feat: add profile recovery screen;
- fix: review inline content alternate text;
- fix: strip off HTML before editing posts;
- enhancement: improve timeline a11y;
- enhancement: add friendica.myportal.social to default instances;
- chore: add unit tests for content pagination and repositories;
- chore: dependency updates.

This is mostly a bugfix release dealing with the most annoying issues you reported (e.g. the lack of management for expired tokens, accessibility issues, post editing with markup). Plus, since I've been adding a lot of unit tests, some minor bugs (e.g. direct messages pagination) were resolved too.

I'll keep populating the backlog with what you report and I'll continue to add tests to increase coverage.

Remember to #livefasteattrash!

@RaccoonForFriendica the first stable version 0.1.0 has finally been released! 🎉🎊🎉

Here is the changelog, compared the latest beta:
🦝 feat: make crash reports opt-in (disabled by default);
🦝 feat: add option to keep app bars fixed while scrolling;
🦝 fix: transition between images/videos in detail view;
🦝 fix: unmute videos in detail view;
🦝 enhancement: update licenses;
🦝 chore: update dependencies;
🦝 chore: update user manual.

If no blocking issues are reported, I intend to make it easier to install the app (by distributing on other alternative stores, e.g. setting up the submission procedure to F-Droid), translate the UI and/or user manual into more languages, etc.

Wish me good luck and remember to #livefasteattrash!

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.1.0-beta21 available for testing!

Changelog:
🦝 add option to load media only when connected over a WiFi network;
🦝 add option to open web pages in internal viewer;
🦝 default visibility for replies and warning if higher visibility than original post;
🦝 prevent changing visibility in post edits;
🦝 make plain text mode the default choice for composition;
🦝 remove "other" section in login;
🦝 improved video player;
🦝 render custom emojis inside poll options;
🦝 layout fixes: chat title, user items in inbox, loading indicators in buttons;

🦝 add more unit tests;
🦝 several dependency updates.

If things go well, this may be the final round of tests before the first stable release. The last bit will probably be making crash reports opt-out by default.

I'm also very pleased to inform you that the app has been accepted by IzzyOnDroid, so installing it is a lot easier if you use it or have its source added to your FDroid app.

In the meantime #livefasteattrash!
