2020.1 (7)

This is the first update since WWDC and the introduction of iOS 14. As such, most of the focus has been on fixing iOS 14-specific problems. However, there are still a couple new features, both for those on the iOS 14 beta and those not.

  • iOS 14: Replace 'More' status swipe action with 'Share'

Features/Improvements:

  • Add mute/unmute conversation status action
  • iPadOS: Add pointer interactions to remove attachment button, gallery view share/dismiss buttons

    • This uses iOS' builtin Vision framework to perform on-device OCR and generate an image description from the recognized text
  • Tweak attachment previews to always have a 16:9 aspect ratio

Bugfixes:

2020.1 (5)

The main focus of this update has been switching to using CoreData internally to cache/synchronize the most up-to-date versions of all statuses. Currently, this does not provide any new functionality, however, it lays the groundwork for several significant features coming in the future, including multiple window support on iPadOS and state restoration/persistence between launches.

Even though there aren't a huge number of new features in this build, a great deal has changed under the hood. As such, this build may suffer somewhat in the stability department. Please bear with me and report any issues you encounter; you can send me a message on the fediverse, email me at me@shadowfacts.net, or file an issue on the project issue tracker at https://git.shadowfacts.net/shadowfacts/Tusker/issues. Thank you!

  • iPadOS: Add pointer interactions to status action buttons and profile header button
  • iPadOS: Allow scrolling w/ trackpad/magic mouse to dismiss attachment gallery
  • iPadOS: Enable interactive push gesture with trackpad/magic mouse
  • Add drawing attachments using PencilKit
    • Long-press to open context menu on the 'Add Attachment' button on the Compose screen, select 'Draw Something'
    • Supports Apple Pencil on iPad, including tilt and pressure sensitivity
  • Add avatar and instance domain in accounts switcher in Preferences
  • Show gifv attachments on Mastodon
    • Currently doesn't show attachment description or share/close buttons
