[Release][v1.29.0] Notifications & RedGifs
[Release][v1.29.0] Notifications & RedGifs
This update adds notifications support to the app. Notifications will need to be enabled on a per-account basis to reduce the amount of unnecessary API calls. You can find notifications & their per-account settings in Settings > Notifications. By default notifications are disabled.
When notifications are enabled, you will get notified of any unread DMs, mentions or replies to your posts. In addition, if you are an admin or mod, you will also get notified of reports.
Like previous updates, this update also adds a lot of quality of life improvements such as better video support and bug fixes. See the full change log for details.
Due to notifications being a big change, this release will be rolled out slowly over the next two days to reduce the impact of bugs on users.
Full change log
- Added notifications as an optional feature to the app. This feature is off by default. To enable, go to Settings > Notifications.
- Added support for RedGifs.
- Added more options in the built-in video player.
- Changed the comment screen to auto focus the input field when first shown.
- Fixed an issue where custom comment gesture actions where not being applied.
- Fixed a regression with screenshot mode where post actions are not hidden when in screenshot mode.
- Fixed some inconsistent scrolling behavior throughout the app.
Update
Rollout complete. There is one minor bug found but it was very minor so I will punt for next update. The bug is, if you tap on a notification, it will take you to the message in your inbox, however when you go back (to your inbox) the message looks like its not read yet. This is a client side bug only; the message is correctly marked as read on the server.
Update 2
There is a very minor update for the Github release to fix a crash that is only present in the Github release (there was some code that had undefined behavior so the Github and PlayStore versions had different behavior despite being compiled from the same code). Thus the Github release is v1.29.1.
Do you ever sleep? Haha.
I chose Summit because it was the only app that worked at all. Now it's getting constant updates and improving all the time. I'm a believah!
Summit rocks! 🤟
Thanks!
Neat.
Keep up the amazing work, it's a pleasure to be able to use this app everyday and it just keeps getting better too😊✨
I am experiencing a small bug since this last update. I have the user profile button added to my nav bar. Pushing it crashes the app. The profile is still reachable without crashing by pushing the avatar in the top right corner.
Thanks for adding notification support! It rocks! :)
Fix should be out on GitHub. Please try it out and let me know if the issue has been fixed. Thanks!
The issue has indeed been fixed. Thanks for your hard work!
I can't reproduce this myself but I will take a look later today.
Took a peak at crash logs and I think I found yours. The only issue is that technically the crash mentioned in the logs is impossible or at least it doesn't make sense given the code... Which is a problem. It does explain why I can't reproduce it. This might be a bit involved to debug.
Could you send me your settings configuration? This will help me debug the issue as the crash does appear to occur under normal circumstances. You can get it by going to Settings > Import & export settings > Export settings. Then tap copy to clipboard. You can send it to me here or DM me.
One other question I had. From where did you install the update? The play store or the github page?
