[release] Raccoon 1.13.6 available

[release] Raccoon 1.13.6 available - Lemmy.World

Hi everyone, Raccoon Santa 🦝🎅 delivered a little bug report to me this morning, so I decided to release a new version with the hotfix. There is not much included except: - a fix for a crash when opening some screens (image detail, multi-community, multi-community editor, report list) due to dependency injection misconfiguration - routine library updates. What’s more important, let me wish everyone happy holidays: have fun, relax and recharge for the new year! I would like to express my gratitude especially to all the subscribers of this community, all users and contributors (coders, testers, translators, etc.) of the Raccoon project, who have virtually walked side-by-side with me during this year. It has been a long journey with a lot of happenings but it was worth it, and I enjoyed every bit of it. We created something new together, we met new people and learned a lot of things in the process. This is simply awesome. ❤️🦝🎄 #livefasteattrash whenever you can on Christmas and New Year’s eve and as always #procyonproject

Hi everyone! Sorry, I forgot about last week’s “Ask me anything” session, so let’s use this post as usual: you reply with questions and I’ll answer them. Moreover, I would like to give you some news about the project roadmap. I did not forgot to release a stable version, actually 1.13.3 is expected by the end of the year. In the meantime I’ve been focusing mostly on technical improvements, refactoring and code cleanup. For example I made dependency injection and gradle scripts much more maintainable, and I’ve been fixing a couple of issues that you reported. Once I’m done with some more bugs (e.g. the ones concerning images) I’ll be releasing, so don’t worry. If some of you are willing to test the beta releases, you are more than welcome, thanks. As always #livefasteattrash 🦝🦝🦝

[announcement] Raccoon for Lemmy is now available on F-Droid!

[announcement] Raccoon for Lemmy is now available on F-Droid! - Lemmy.World

Today a new synchronization job has run and the app has been imported! 🎉🎊🎉 I know it may not mean much to you, but for me (after more than a year for the first build attempt) this is a great achievement! I had lost hopes but, since I was starting the submission again for the “twin” project Raccoon for Friendica, I thought it would cost little to try again. And the idea proved successful! If you are wondering what the root cause of the issues was last year, builds were not reproducible due to a l10ns plugin. F-Droid maintainers told me so I proceeded to remove it and find another way to read localization files. Another “infrastructure” news is that I’ve set up a cool code coverage (Kover) plugin to measure how much the code is covered by unit tests and upload the reports to Codecov to see charts about how the metric evolves.

[release] Raccoon version 1.13.0 released - Lemmy.World

Hi there, I decided the app is ready to see a first stable release after the project “relocation”. Here is the changelog of this version compared to the latest beta: - fix: ripple effects (e.g. top bar titles, drawer drop-down button); - fix: video rendering in timelines and attachment detail; - feat: button to reveal sensitive images in timelines; - enhancement: update “Saved” label for bookmarks; - enhancement: update font scale factors; - enhancement: change default name of settings JSON when exporting; - chore: dependency updates (most notably, Compose Multiplatform 1.7.1); - chore: update CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md and PRIVACY.md. Hope you like it, have a nice rest of the weekend and remember to #livefasteattrash 🦝

My 2 cents, I would remove one of these:

[ poll] I am considering to change the default font set, replacing the least used one and introducing a new one for readability

[ poll] I am considering to change the default font set, replacing the least used one and introducing a new one for readability - Lemmy.World

I would like to introduce a new font in the next version, with a particular focus on readability, in order to make the app easier to use. My choice would be the Atkinson hyperreadable [https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont] font by the Braille institute, which I personally use in other apps too because it gives my eyes some relief. However, the APK size of the app increases with every new resource, so instead of just adding a new font I would like to replace the least used of the current ones. Answer in comments to tell me what you would like to be removed. Thanks as always and #livefasteattrash

Raccoons of the Lemmyverse, we’re back! A new beta version of the app has been released, as promised in the last AMA (it was the next internal milestone). Let us know what you think about it, you’ll notice that there have been several layout improvements since the last version, e.g. bottom sheets have a new style, clickable areas now show the ripple effect, etc. Hope you all enjoy it and, as always, L.F.E.T. 🦝🦝🦝
