Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 build 145 fixes an API decoding issue with media attachments that can prevent posts and timelines from loading. while this could affect any Fedi server, it was happening more frequently in the current GTS RC. that's likely to be fixed by GTS in their next RC.

also, we forgot to announce it 😅 but previous build 144 fixed the Open in Feditext share sheet action on iOS 18 and 26. it should now work for any iOS version we support (15–26).

Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 143) disables some aspects of Liquid Glass as a workaround for the layout weirdness with the post composer controls. it should affect only iOS 26 users.

Feditext beta users: Feditext doesn't collect analytics data, so if you are using one of the following Fedi servers (including Mastodon patchsets like Glitch, Hometown, Catstodon, Treehouse, etc.), please indicate which one. if you use multiple, pick the one that you use most frequently.

and if you use something that's not on the list, name it in the replies.

Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 142) fixes the autocomplete bug in the post composer on iOS 18+ (iOS 15–17 are not affected).

it also switches to an account-specific search API method for looking up accounts based on username and display name only. for Mastodon users, this may result in slightly faster autocomplete lookups and fewer false positives. GTS users should not see a difference. please report any issues with other servers.

Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 140) fixes a JSON decoding issue with Mastodon 4.4 / 4.5 instances that caused error messages when quoted posts are viewed or on a timeline.

this doesn't change how Feditext displays quotes; as with other instance types that already support quote posts, Mastodon quoted posts will be displayed as special links. tapping them will display the whole post. full quote post support is pending.

Feditext beta users: version 1.7.2 (build 139) adds persistent display filters for home/local/federated timelines (upper right corner button). when you hide boosts or replies, they will now stay hidden when you navigate to other timelines or relaunch the app. it also fixes the accessibility label for the filter button.

in other news, our lead dev Vyr is looking for a new, less stressful day job. please wish her well.
