To everyone's surprise, Toot! v17.0 is out!

https://toot.to/

This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:

* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.

Oh, also, this release is set on a phased rollout so I can catch any serious issues before it rolls out to everyone, so it will become available gradually over the coming week.

There might be a way to force an update in the App Store if you don't want to wait but I'm not 100% sure?

@tootapp Any chance of support for fork-specific features? Like local-only posts on Hometown? :)

@JonSimantov Just supporting the main version is plenty of work at the moment.

@tootapp update came through on iOS here ok… didn’t notify but I went to app page and update button was there. No issues (yet) 😁

@tootapp The toot detail page on the App Store has an "Update" button that will get you the new version without the wait

@tootapp I just updated here. I went into the app store, tapped on my account, and selected "update" next to your app.

Update downloaded and running in the US Midwest

And it’s sweet!

2 nuisances I’ve seen so far:

1. If there’s a way to tap at the top to return all the way to the top of a timeline, I haven’t found it.

2. The bookmark feature is now much too difficult to get to. It should be right next to Favourite, right under a post, instead of buried under the “…”

Another: “Notifications” is not indicating that I’ve received new notifications.

@tootapp It's a shame we don't have such an app on Android.

@tootapp the app with the white background is iOS toot app correct? Sorry screen readers, I am attempting to describe the picture but IDK how to describe screenshots off the squares of apps. Just a lowly 27 year old who finds technology confusing, overwhelming, and just craves simplicity.

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp No, tooot with three Os is a different app. The one we’re talking about here is Toot! with two Os and an exclamation mark, whose icon is this:

@badibulgator @tootapp I see that now. I first downloaded the purple mastodon app. I’m not used to having a decentralized social media platform where there is third party apps for a platform.

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp That's a different app, this one is "Toot!"

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp Yeah. I got it and pretty much every other iOS app available and I really like it far more than the other options.

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp Nope. „Toot!“ is written like this and shows a mastodon as its icon. That‘s a different app.

@swiftiebuckycas @tootapp the "tooot" in your screenshot is not "toot" in this case.

@tootapp You can force app updates on iOS! There are a couple ways:

1) Go to the app's store page and press "update"

2) Long press on the App store icon, tap Updates, pull down to refresh, and update the app

Both are pretty quick, the first option is just a lot easier to explain.

@tootapp checking for app updates via the App Store app will bypass the staggered / phased rollout. Also, searching for the app will return the latest version, too.
