Adjusted question to specify desktop.

Does anyone know of a lemmy app that’s backward compatible and works on older IOS devices? I have an older iPad running IOS 12.5.7. Obviously I can just use the browser or a webapp but I wanted to check if there was an app.

I was able to install Liftoff before but it has stopped working since.

Hello Lemmy. I just released a new Lemmy client for iOS. I'm still working on a few key features (background notifications, word block filters, i18n, community creation and moderation, plus a few other random things). I hope to have them complete soon. If you have the time, please take a look and let me know how I can make it better: Maliki Issues.

I want to release this app for Android, but Google requires that I have 12 Android testers. Anyone up for that?

It is long past time for us to build a movement where we shower recognition, rewards, and donations on the devs that were selfless and wise enough to share their source code with the community.

[email protected]

Since the recent rash of devs looking to capitalize on a FOSS platform by spamming their closed source apps here, I decided to build a community dedicated solely to Free and Open Source lemmy apps and software.

Please join us. Help fight #enshittification before it takes over Lemmy too.

Meta is excited to announce the launch of a new app designed for Lemmy. As part of our ongoing commitment to interoperability and user choice, this app will bring the community-driven discussions to a wider audience with an intuitive interface, seamless integration, and innovative features.

Lemmy has been growing as a powerful alternative to centralized discussion forums, allowing users to create and moderate their own communities in a federated network. By supporting Lemmy, Meta aims to enhance the open internet while providing users with more options to connect and share ideas beyond walled gardens.

Starting today, we’re inviting passionate users to test the alpha version of our Lemmy app. Your feedback will help shape its development, ensuring it meets the needs of decentralized communities while staying true to the principles of federation and user autonomy. If you're interested in getting early access and sharing your thoughts, try it now to be part of this exciting new chapter!

So, the post is a joke, but web client is a real thing that I've been working on for a bit over 2 weeks now. It isn't very usable yet, but I didn't want to pass the chance to make the announcement as Meta. If you have opinions and feedback on this, I'd actually like to hear that.

Hi everyone,

I am the indie developer behind SoraSNS (a Fediverse and Bluesky client featured by Tech Crunch twice).

I just started working on a modern and futuristic styled Lemmy client. It will have a modern UI and equal features as the alien blue app.

Some features I am planning include:

  • all features like alien blue app (you know which app I am referring to)
  • a better notification interface so you can see the thread the message belongs to
  • auto translation feature
  • bookmark folders
  • folders to organized your subscribed communities
  • a discovery feed for most popular posts from your subscribed communities and followed persons
  • watch a post and receive notifications about new comments
  • scroll horizontally to switch to previous or next post in the list
  • Home Screen widget to automatically show top news, refreshed automatically several times a day
  • Filters for posts and comments based on activity, follow status

The image I attached is obviously the build 0. The target release date is around the first week of May.

If you are interested, please subscribe to the community to receive updates and TestFlight:

The sync developer has been MIA for a long time (1 year or longer) and I fear it will stop working sooner or later when Lemmy instances start updating to v1.0 in future.

I use Sync because it has a nice Material you theme, is smooth, supports caching posts & media offline (also keeps the comments, posts loaded even if android reclaims memory from the app)

I can open posts, comments, and even communities in a seperate window if I choose to do so.

Anything with multi window support out there yet? I used voyager for posting. But, want sync like multi window capabilities.

Voyager’s new promo site!

Hey there!

I just published Voyager's new promo site at https://getvoyager.app/. This site is intended to be an easy way to share the app with your friends and family. Let me know what you think! I'm hoping to roll out a couple more improvements to user onboarding soon™️, so stay tuned.

In other news, I hope you like the latest app update! ICYMI: the video player was significantly revamped, you can now upload videos (assuming lemmy instance support: keep reading...), and Android users can now long press links to preview the url, as well as for share/copy/open options.

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/releases/tag/2.26.0

Speaking of videos: If you've ever wondered why videos sometimes fail to play in iOS, it's because many Lemmy instances are misconfigured. Please share this site I just published with your Lemmy admin to help debug issues: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming Around 50% of instances are misconfigured 😳 so I really appreciate your help on getting the word out to admins! 🫡

Hey 👋,

I got frustrated with the friction for users from direct links to all the different instances they don't have accounts for and built https://lemsha.re/

It's inspired by matrix.to - but built for Lemmy content.

If a user clicks a lemsha.re link the user will be presented with two options:

  • visit the original link, or
  • view the same content - but on their preferred instance

Hope you find it useful.

I thrived on daily reading of a few multireddits, which are specific clusters of the same subreddits, as my default view; I only went to the general feed for all of my subscribed communities every once in a while.

For example: https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow+LifeProTips+dataisbeautiful

Is this possible on Lemmy?

At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I've decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered "FOSS" but this is a huge step I think.

As I'm voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

The focus of this release is to add support for importing/exporting tables from the database of the app.

A lot of preferences/data, especially those that allow you to add to a list, are built on top of tables. Tables allows the app to scale better when lists can grow very long. Some features that use tables include drafts and bookmarked communities.

Currently while the app allows users to import/export settings, the app does not give the user any way to import/export anything backed by tables. This means not everything can be carried over by importing/exporting settings.

This release aims to give users a way to preview the database within the app and export them and import them with a high level of configurability.

This feature is a prerequisite of a larger feature which will be announced later.

Full changelog

  • Add support to import/export app data that is stored in tables.
  • Improve performance of "mark posts as read on scroll".
  • Improve general scroll performance on the post feed screen.
  • Updated community search result to show the full community name with instance.
  • Remove malformed markdown fix which tried to correct malformed headlines by inserting a space between '#' and text if there wasn't one.
  • Change open instance behavior. If the instance opened does not match the current account, the guest account is used automatically. This is to prevent the app from getting into a weird state.
  • Fix a bug where links do not open correctly if the default browser app is Firefox.
  • Fix a bug where the post feed header does not update when switching instances.
  • Fix a bug where rate limit errors are not recognized correctly.
  • Fix a bug where "mark posts as read on scroll" doesn't mark a post as read if the height of the post is taller than the screen.
  • Fix a bug where the thumbnail shown in the "Save for later" bottom sheet do not update when a new image is chosen to replace an older one.

Update

Some more bug fixes to come:

  • Fix a bug where the thumbnail shown in the "Save for later" bottom sheet do not update when a new image is chosen to replace an older one.
  • Improve general scroll performance on the post feed screen.

Update 2

Releasing the changes in the last update as v1.58.1.

Update 3

Conducting some user-agent testing. Releasing as v1.58.2.

  • Add setting to change the app's user-agent.

Update 4

More fixes incoming:

  • Fix a bug in full post layouts where blurred NSFW images are sometimes not shown.
  • Fix a bug in full post layouts where NSFW posts can cause content to jump as they are loaded in.
  • Fix a bug where blurred NSFW images are not shown for videos.
  • Fix a bug where "Prefer full size image" for certain layouts was not respected and was always on.
  • Fix a bug where posts in the post feed would jump around if "Prefer full size image" was on.
  • Fix a bug where some posts do not have a "preview" button when using the list style layouts.
  • Fix card shadow being clipped on user info screen.
  • More optimizations in the post feed/post screen.

Update 5

Releasing new changes as v1.58.3

Update 6

Big update here which should both improve performance and also lessen the effects of rate limiting issues. These changes will be released as v1.58.4.

  • Optimized network calls in the critical sections of the app.

Try it!

If you already have either the iOS or the Mac app it should prompt you to update. You can relaunch the Mac app to trigger the prompt.

Changes

  • Add setting to hide read posts in feed
  • Fix comments not showing up after submitting
  • Fix bug where saved posts feed was only showing posts local to your server
  • Refresh inbox tab more frequently
  • Cache user profiles
  • Improve performance of post feeds (most noticeable on iOS)
  • Fix dark mode flicker
  • Fix youtube embeds where video ID contains dashes
  • Increase the sizing of the login form to make it to use

Appreciate all the feedback so far!

I'm struggling a little to get the performance I want on iOS. I'm curious if anyone is using an older iPhone. I would love to hear if you think the app feels snappy enough or if there's room for improvement. If you could leave a comment or DM me with the phone your using and what you think.

Welcome to the v1.57.0 release. This release is focused on addressing the rest of the user requests.

There's a lot in this release so read through the changelog to see everything that has been added. Some highlights include adding auto-loading posts when "swipe between posts" is enabled, a new setting that allows you to change the app locale from within the app on any version of Android and some changes to make it easier to identify if an user is new to Lemmy.

This release also marks the start of some major changes to the app that I've been considering almost a full year ago.

One of Summit's strength is the insane number of customizations available to a user. However this also poses a downside as new users may not want to spend hours checking and tweaking every setting. While Summit tries to make sure the default settings are pretty good, it's obvious that the out-of-the-box settings are not for everyone.

The ideal middle ground is to offer a list of sane defaults, not just one. That way new users can setup the app to their liking while taking only seconds. This is what the next big feature will be aiming to solve.

I'll provide more details regarding what these specific changes are over the next few releases. As always if you have any questions or suggestions please let me know in the comments.

Full changelog

  • Add a setting to choose the direction of swipe gestures. By default this is left-to-right.
  • Add a setting to change the default volume of the inline video player
  • Add an option to share a community/instance in the community/instance screen.
  • Add a setting to choose default app to open URLs with. By default Summit will open URLs within the app however setting a default browser will override this behavior.
  • Add a setting to change the locale of the app.
  • Add a setting to control whether community suggestions are shown in the community selector bottom sheet.
  • Add a setting to enable/disable full bleed images in the full post view.
  • Add an option to the "Take screenshot" screen to share the screenshot instead of saving it.
  • Change the formatter for post titles. If a post's title starts with the character '#', it will be escaped. This fixes some edge cases where a post starts with a "hashtag". Eg. "#summitforlemmy is an ok app for lemmy".
  • Fix a bug on the create post screen. If the webpage (based on the URL field) of a post does not have a valid title, the title will not be suggested.
  • Update the design of the user info screen.
  • Fix a bug where the settings page will not respect the app language if one is selected.
  • Change the app behavior when handling posts with invalid thumnails. In rare cases the thumnail url and the url of the post are the same but the thumbnail url does not link to an image. Previously this would cause the app to not show the image or the link. This release changes the behavior so that the link will be shown in this case.
  • Automatically load more posts when the end of the post feed is reached when "swipe between posts" is enabled.
  • Change the default of the setting "Show new user tag" to true. New users (accounts that are less than 30 days of age) will display a yellow tag next to their account name.
  • Fix a bug where sharing an image would not show a preview of the image being shared.

Update

Noticed some bugs in the app. One major bug is the inability to change the app base theme. Will push a fix out as v1.57.1.

  • Fix a bug where the base theme setting is ignored.
  • Fix a bug where some shadows are being clipped.
  • Adjust default screenshot width from 500 -> 360 since 500 seemed too wide which produced smaller text when fit on screen.

Update 2

Found a crash so will update the release and release as v1.57.2.

  • Fix a crash in rare cases when viewing the default apps settings screen.

Update 3

Rollout complete.

This is my attempt at an oldschool, beefed-up desktop app for Lemmy for those of us who yearn for that kind of experience.
Currently it only does reading, if people use it I'll work on comment support too.

If you want to give it a spin, you can download the flatpak file from here and run it.

For the unaware, there is (was) three distinct reddit uis:

  • old.reddit.com - the original old reddit.
  • new.reddit.com - the redesign. The one I'm looking for. Was shut down recently.
  • sh.reddit.com - utter garbage, slow, buggy and looks like shit.

Is there any that emulates the new reddit?

After a year in development and six months in beta, we are thrilled to announce that Mlem for Lemmy 2.0 is available on the App Store!

We've rewritten the app from the ground up--it's still the same Mlem our users know and love, but with significant performance improvements, a set of new features that were infeasible in our v1 app, and a fresh new design that feels right at home with the latest versions of iOS. There are more changes than we could list here, so the best way to see what's new is to just download the app, but some of the highlights include:

Media Enhancements

2.0 ships with a brand new image viewer and full support for gifs, videos, and animated webps. We've even added loops.video embedding--link posts to loops.video will display the linked video directly in Mlem.

Color Themes

In addition to the standard light and dark, Mlem 2.0 offers OLED, Solarized, and Dracula color themes, with more on the way. If you'd like us to support your favorite theme, let us know!

Markdown Handling

Powered by our custom cmark fork, Mlem 2.0 supports the full range of Lemmydown syntax.

Enhanced Post Composer

You can now create crossposts directly in the post editor (+ -> Crosspost), and can even post to multiple communities from multiple accounts at once. The keyboard now also sports a comprehensive set of Markdown editing tools.

French Localization

Mlem is now available in French, thanks to pylapp.

And More...

  • Guest mode: you can now browse instances without an account
  • Added a new Tiled post layout
  • Keep place on switch: you can now switch accounts without reloading the app. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Accounts or accessed by long pressing an account in the account switcher.
  • You can now search for posts and comments

Compatibility Notice: Mlem 2.0 supports iOS 17 and later. If you are on an older iOS, you won't be able to download this update but will be able to continue using the previous version of Mlem.

Thank you to all of our beta testers, whose feedback and support has been invaluable.

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data. If you'd like to help support Mlem, you can donate here.

This release is just a long list of incremental changes to the app. You can view the full list of changes below.

Full changelog

  • Add setting to enable swipe between posts. Experimental. Low effort implementation. Please let me know if you find any bugs.
  • Add "show full context" option when replying to a post.
  • Add setting to choose a quick action when the FAB in the post screen is long pressed.
  • Add setting to disable shake to send feedback.
  • Add setting to disable labels in the navigation bar.

  • Update color picker. New color picker has new styles and a history tab, allowing you to pick a color that was picked before.
  • Change the behavior of the button bar below the header of the post feed. If the button bar cannot be fully displayed on screen, it will be scrollable and will take precedence over the left panel open. If the button bar can be fully displayed then the left panel will take precedence.
  • Change link preview dialog to detect Lemmy links. If the previewed link is detected to be a Lemmy instance, a button will appear to top the link within Summit.
  • Update translations.
  • Fix a bug where certain videos links will not load as videos.
  • Fix a bug where tag text color cannot be changed.
  • Fix a bug where text in the community header/comment header may be cut off.

  • Fix a bug where GIFs sometimes freeze.

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows

Warning: Due to the extra permission needed for bookmarking, all your Mbin accounts will need their oauth clients regenerated. To do so, for each Mbin server that you have accounts for, you will need to sign out of all accounts (including guest), which will trigger Interstellar to delete the related oauth client. From there, you can sign back in as usual. Alternatively, if you don't mind, it would probably be easier to just clear all your data from the app instead.

New

  • Add copy-paste option for desktop oauth login (in case the system has issues launching the browser).
  • Add notification control support for magazines, users, and posts; which was introduced in Mbin 1.8.0.
  • Add bookmarking support for posts and comments. Saving posts/comments is available on Lemmy, and bookmark lists are available on Mbin (introduced in Mbin 1.8.0).
  • Allow adding alt text on image upload; by @olorin99.
  • Display a file picker dialog when downloading an image.
  • Move post & comment overflow menu to top right corner.

Config Sharing

  • Create a config sharing, export & import functionality for Profiles & Filter Lists.
  • A new magazine (interstellar_configs) is available to publicly share your configs to. Here are some usage instructions copied from the new magazine's description:

How to Share

  1. Open Interstellar and go to the Settings page.
  2. Click either Switch profiles or Filter lists.
  3. Tap the Share button next to the item you'd like to share.
  4. Add a short description.
  5. Hit Submit to create a new thread in this magazine.

To share in other places (e.g., other magazines, in comments, microblogs, direct messages, etc.) or share multiple configs at a time, use the Share button in the markdown editor's toolbar.

Keep in Mind

  • Prefix your thread title with [Profile] or [Filter List] to indicate what type of config you are sharing.

  • While sharing, do not modify the markdown code block containing your config. Interstellar verifies its contents with a hash to ensure the data remains unaltered.

Create New ... Screen

  • Overhaul post creation screen to have tabs for each of the different post types: Text, Image, Link, and Microblog.
  • Add a new magazine picker that will provide autocomplete options for the magazine as you type. Once you have selected a magazine, the corresponding icon will display next to the name, and a button on the side will appear which allows you to open the magazine in a new page to view it.
  • Add a magazine creation tab to the same page (works for Mbin and Lemmy). (There might be a bug that causes a 500 Internal Error while attempting to create a magazine on Mbin ATM, but hopefully it will be fixed soon.)
  • The Link tab has a new button that will fetch the link's title and description from the internet (similar to Mbin). It can additionally be triggered by pressing enter (or submitting) on the link text field (as long as both the title and body fields are empty).
  • The Microblog tab will now default to using the "random" magazine if you haven't specified one. This is due to the fact that Mbin uses "random" to store uncategorized microblogs.

Builds

  • Add Linux ARM support! Includes a .tar.gz file, an .AppImage file, and Flathub support (same as x86_64 version).
  • Improve AppImages by using sharun to bundle dependencies. Now the AppImages will truly work on any Linux distro you throw at it. Huge thanks to Samueru-sama for providing many examples and troubleshooting everything with me.
  • Windows support is officially added! There's now a portable .zip file and a .exe setup file.

Fixes

  • Fix sub-level comments not showing on the user screen while viewing with a Lemmy account.
  • Hide OC and Tags fields on Lemmy.
  • Change the markdown editor toolbar to scroll horizontally instead of wrap, which caused problems by making the actual editable field shrink in height.
  • Fix infinite scroll views to give useful error messages instead of the generic "app encountered unknown error".
  • Fix full screen image view bleeding into the status bar on Android.
  • Fix lengthy usernames and magazine names from shoving UI elements off screen.

This is a pretty big release with a large number of UI changes.

This release adds a lot of user requested features to the app, the biggest one being the post feed header. The post feed header adds some information about the feed to the top of the page. The post feed header is disabled by default and will need to be enabled.

This release also updated the designs of a lot of key UI elements. To be honest I've spent so much time working on the UI that I can no longer tell if it's better or worse than before. User feedback on the new UI is greatly appreciated.

Full changelog

  • Add a setting to disable auto-linking IP addresses. Note that auto-linking IP addresses comes free with Android so enabling this feature will actually cause the app to strip them which is a bit slower.
  • Add a new layout: full with cards. This layout is the full layout but each post is contained within a card instead of full bleed.
  • Add video caching.
  • Add new post feed header. This is disabled by default and can be configured in Settings > Posts feed > Use posts feed header.
  • Change the UI for the post feed toolbar.
  • Change video volume logic to be smarter.
  • Change the left side panel to have subscribed communities sorted by name.
  • Change icons around the app from circles to rounded squares.
  • Change some icon designs.
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes expanding the context in the message screen would cause weird behavior.
  • Fix locales being mixed together. (Attempt number 2)
  • Fix a bug where inline video players are not destroyed properly leading to wasted resources.
  • Fix a bug where cache directories are not cleaned up properly.
  • Fix a bug where vote colors are not updated immediately in some places.
  • Fix some minor UI bugs in the post feed.
  • Show an error icon if an image fails to load.
  • Adjust left side panel UI.
  • Adjust compact layout, card1 layout, card2 layout, full layout, full with cards layout.
  • Adjust comment header layout.
  • Fixed a bug where when a post with an image is expanded while using the list with cards layout the post would have too much padding.
  • Fix a bug where a video in full screen would continue to play even if the screen is closed.

Update

User reported some UI issues with certain layouts. Will fix and rerelease as v1.55.1

  • Fix a bug where some layouts would show an empty image for text only posts.

Update 2

Some more user reported bugs. Fixing and re-releasing at v1.55.2

  • Fix a bug where some preferences were being ignored or was broken.
  • Fix a bug where disabling community icons would require the user to leave the app and come back for the change to be applied.
  • Fix a bug where the layout "List with cards" option was shown twice.
  • Minor UI touch ups.

Update 3

I am not releasing this version to the masses just yet because of all of the UI and internal/under-the-hood changes. I'm going to give all the changes some time to sit first.

I don't have an ETA for the release yet but it should definitely be fully live by the weekend.

Thank you to all the early adopters for helping test the changes.

Update 4

I think I'm done with letting things sit and I have a much better idea of what I want the UI to be like. I will do a hopefully final minor release. Changes are:

  • Show an error icon if an image fails to load.
  • Adjust left side panel UI.
  • Adjust compact layout, card1 layout, card2 layout, full layout, full with cards layout.
  • Adjust comment header layout.
  • Fix a bug where when a post with an image is expanded while using the list with cards layout the post would have too much padding.
  • Fix a bug where a video in full screen would continue to play even if the screen is closed.

Update 5

Found more bugs. Addressing before release to all.

  • Fix a bug where some inline images are really small.
  • Hide the "All subscribed" feed if user is only signed into one account.
  • Make the description in the feed toolbar expandable.

When scrolling all it's common to see the same article posted several times, each from a different community and most with zero comments.

Is there an app that will recognise the post URLs, show that post only once in the scroll but display all the comments, perhaps with each having the community name prepended?

I usually only read the comments so there's a lot of useless scrolling if skipping zero comment posts.

Alternatively, a filter that only shows posts with comments.

Welcome to the v1.54.0 release.

The main focus of this release is to make it easier for users to give feedback. This is achieved in a few ways. The first is a redesigned feedback dialog that makes it clearer which methods are available to submit feedback. The second is a new feedback editor that lets users submit feedback easier. It also automatically snaps a screenshot and allows you to easily attach it to your feedback. The third way that makes giving feedback easier is the new shake to send feedback feature which allows users to submit feedback on any part of the app just by shaking their device.

Of course, this release also contains a huge amount of other changes. One notable change is the addition of a new indicator for the "You" screen. This indicator is shown if there are any new failed actions. Eg. if a user sends a comment and that comment fails to be posted for some reason, the new error indicator will alert the user of this fact. This addition completes the user actions work started in the last release.

Full changelog

  • Add new feedback dialog.
  • Add new shake to send feedback feature.
  • Add action errors count. A badge will appear on the You navigation item if there are any action errors that have not been seen yet. This improves the visibility of action errors.
  • Improve the cache graph in the app (Settings > Cache) to show more details about disk space usage.
  • Improve mention suggestion heuristics.
  • Improve load speed for You screen.
  • Improve "mark duplicate posts as read" to also work when a post is hidden.
  • Improve You screen header layout by dynamically adjusting the sizes of certain elements based on the screen size.
  • Handle links for more instances when a link is tapped outside of Summit. This change only affects Android 11 or below devices.
  • Change message screen. When the context card is expanded, the app will automatically scroll to the relevant comment.
  • Show an error message when trying to share and image that cannot be loaded.
  • Show ellipsis when messages are too long to display in the inbox screen.
  • Remove dividers from "Your actions" screen.
  • Fix a bug where adding a comment when viewing a specific comment in a post will not show the newly added comment.
  • Fix an issue where the upvote/downvote arrows are not colored for the compact layout.
  • Fix an issue where NSFW mode is not respected in some screens.
  • Fix padding issues with some buttons.
  • Fix a few crashes.

Update

A user reported some issues with the failed actions indicator. Fixing the issue and re-releasing as v1.54.1.

  • Fix a bug where the failed actions indicator does not update if all failed actions are cleared.

Update 2

This should be the final minor update for this release. This minor patch fixes a few crashes, some UI issues and some general unpleasantness. This will be released as v1.54.2.

  • Show an error message when trying to share and image that cannot be loaded.
  • Show ellipsis when messages are too long to display in the inbox screen.
  • Remove dividers from "Your actions" screen.
  • Fix a few crashes.

Update 3

Release should be out for everyone now.
