This release is be focused on polishing the app further.

I’ve been extremely busy for the past few months and will continue to be busy for the foreseeable future. To help get changes out sooner, this release will be broken down into multiple parts.

Full changelog

  • Start migration to Material 3 Expressive, Google’s new design system.
  • Improve app startup time.
  • Improve experience for instances that disable downvotes. Downvote buttons are hidden on the post feed/post screen. Downvote actions on these instances are ignored.
  • Improve search support on PieFed instances.
  • Improve the feel of bottom sheet menus. Fix a bug where flinging on a bottom sheet does not dismiss the bottom sheet.
  • Fix a bug where the wrong image is shown in the post feed.
  • Fix a bug where tapping on retry on the load error UI on the search screen will add another load error UI.
  • Fix a bug where sometimes the app says there is a network error even though there is an internet connection.
  • Fix a bug where the app cannot recover from a network error until the app is restarted.
  • Fix some bugs related to “Find in page”.

Update

Added more minor changes as part of the v1.71.2 release:

  • Fix a bug where the upvote or sometimes downvote button was missing.
  • Improve gestures so that the gesture icon is always on screen. This fixes the issue where the gesture icon might be off screen if the post/comment being acted on it very long.
  • Improve comment/post editor so that the view will auto scroll to the cursor when the keyboard is opened/closed. This fixes an issue where opening the keyboard would cause the cursor to become offscreen.
