submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Xylight@lemdro.id to c/photon@lemdro.id
 

It is recommended to install this update as soon as possible, it contains important security fixes.

What's Changed

  • feat: add piefed polls and events
    • only supported on piefed v1.4.0 which isn't out yet
  • feat: add piefed user notes
    • ditto
  • feat: auto-detect server software type in login form
  • impr: optimize theme css handling, decrease stylesheet size
  • design: revolutionize modal animations by making them zoom out instead of zoom in
  • feat: add a share target to the PWA
    • you can share a link with the app. it won't start a discussion with you unfortunately, instead it'll automatically convert the link to a photon compatible link (so you can open lemmy posts in the app)
  • misc: enable sourcemaps in production for Transparency™
    • no security risk. in fact it improves security because you can see if the source code matches the actual photon source
  • performance: optimize the virtualizer resizeobserver
  • design: use EntityHeaders for instance and community cards
  • design: make toasts look anywhere between 0% and 200% better
  • design: improve the comment context UI, showing a +x more button and an all comments button
  • fix: loading logo not appearing on firefox
  • fix: separate password lengths on piefed and lemmy
  • fix: make PostListShell parameters reactive to fix stubborn sorting
  • impr: various behind-the-scenes improvements in codebase
  • misc: make postbody collapse/expand button sticky so you dont have to scroll toe the bottom
  • fix: moderation report id collisions

Congrats on the release! Really happy to see the new piefed api features rolling out so quickly. My commits on poll features were only 3 days ago!
