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.

I know there is a lot more people want, like editing, but those are bigger features and I thought it better to push something out the door, so I will keep releasing 17.x versions for a while to push out more new features.

They will mainly focus on adding Mastodon v3.5 and v4.0 features that Toot! is missing, plus any little bits of polish that would make me happy.

(I know a lot of people want adjustable font sizes, but that is unfortunately a scarily complicated feature, just because it tends to break all the existing designs, so I am not planning on getting around to that just yet.)

And I generally have my hands more than full already, so I'll apologise ahead of time for not being very receptive to any feature requests for now.

@tootapp As long as you keep it on your radar. It not really an aesthetic thing…more of “my eyes are old and tired”-thing. I’ll take functional over fancy any day, but I think “bigger” will be on a lot of people’s short list.

@ministerofimpediments Yeah, I know. It would definitely be good as an accessibility feature, it's just an annoying one to actually do.

@tootapp Just have it use Dynamic Type so it scales with the iOS Display and Text Size setting.

@Skawt The problem is that that will break all the existing designs, and they need to all be gone through and checked and fixed.

@tootapp can i ask that you put support for Dyslexic fonts only your things to-add-someday feature list?

@isaiah Interesting thought! Should probably go along with text size fixes.
Show threadisaiahNov 21, 2022
@tootapp thank you. i know it’s hard to add everything all at once and fonts are non-trivial changes. but it really does mean a world of difference to a few people. 🙂
Show threadisaiahNov 21, 2022

@tootapp just for perspective, here is a screenshot from Twiteriffic and Toot! right now on my iPhone 12 Max.

twiteriffic doesn’t have a dyslexic font, but does support a number of choices and very large text. this isn’t even their biggest option.

@tootapp any chance the language picker is on your list of missing features you're working to include?

@bovil Probably.

@tootapp Thanks. I've had friends note that 4.0 includes the ability for admins to plug their servers into different translate engines, but I believe that only works with posts where the language picker identifies the language they're posting in.

@tootapp Thank you for the update and sorry that we all are little greedy on new features like Edit - Fontsize ..... wait patient so the unique UI stays intact which is unique. #Keepupthegoodwork

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?

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 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.
