Next release: By the end of Saturday, February 21.
GENERAL FEATURES
- PR #449, #431, #150, #466, #420, #56; a massive rewrite to the filecache implementation; see the PR for additional notes. Of note:
- Cache size has increased to 512MB, with 1GB still for prefetching.
- WebM streaming has returned. Thanks again to @ekisu for the original implementation a while back.
- Additional settings have been added for WebM streaming, chunked downloading, and image preload behavior. See experimental settings.
- A setting has been added for your own Youtube API key, if you want to use that instead of 4chanX's. It is under Behavior settings, in the Other Settings group.
- PR #501, an error reporter, which sends appropriate information to K1rak's server so it can be reported as a Github issue, or taken care of directly. It is under the About group in the main settings page.
- PR #546, automatic crash reporting in association with the above.
- PR #508, #503, the ability to add your desktop captcha cookies has been added to the application; this may allow you to enter captcha more quickly. It is under Behavior settings, in the general group.
- #524, post comments in the replies popup are now selectable. The double-tap goto functionality remains the same, and overrides the usual double-tap to select all functionality of the text.
- PR #507, #474, a setting to allow the user to pick their file picker of choice rather than the default. Previous behavior is preserved by default; it is under Behavior settings, in the Other Settings group.
- PR #514, a developer feature to add in mock replies. Only allowed on posts in threads.
- PR #491, gallery view gestures have returned.

- Single tap close functionality remains for static images.
- Double tap close remains for all other types if gestures are disabled.
ARCHIVES
- #480, updates the archives list URL and also download an internal copy at build time, so there's a default list pretty much always.

CAPTCHA
- PR #471, #465, Captcha queueing for Javascript captchas.
- 4Chan's default captcha type is now V2JS; the Dvach and 4Chan captcha type settings have been split apart, so you can set your defaults for each one independently.
- #467 and modifications, changes to JS-Captcha layout positioning; it is always on the bottom left now. For tablets, if the captcha is in the left split, it will be in the bottom left corner, and the right split will have it in the bottom right corner.
LAYOUT/VISUAL
- If no icons (flags, etc.) are in a post cell, then the cell header (post number, time, etc.) and the comment will be closer together now.
- A setting has been added to behavior settings as a shortcut to site setup, to better indicate where captcha settings are configured.

GENERAL ADJUSTMENTS/BUGFIXES
