What's New?

This update includes a couple of new minor features as well as a bunch of QOL enhancements and bug fixes.

Enhancements

• Search improvements
  • You can now filter based on chat, sender, and date
  • We've also fixed consistency issues when searching your server vs. your local device.
• Updates iOS emoji pack to iOS 17.4
• App stays connected when "inactive" but not necessarily hidden
• Hiding the full screen image viewer controls will now also hide the app bar
• Adds light haptic feedback when sending a message
• App startup time is now slightly quicker
• Location widgets now show the Apple Maps preview
• Adds ability to switch linked Google Firebase projects

Bug Fixes

• Fixes issue delivering background messages (i.e. replies from notifications)
• Fixes issue where an event dispatched to tasker would have the wrong intent
• Fixes issue where a custom landing page for the server would break the detect localhost feature
• Fixes issue where the keyboard would be dismissed when trying to change GBoard languages
• Fixes issue where non-US phone numbers would be formatted incorrectly
• Fixes issue causing the device ID for the app to change when your phone updated
• Fixes issue where a new chat would not show up in the chat list until a full app restart (sometimes two)
• Fixes issue where the search would return case-sensitive results from the server. The search is now case-insensitive
• Fixes issue where the app would hang on startup due to a failed network request
• Fixes issue with infinite "Server Password" popups when connecting to your Google Account

Developer Notes

• Increased target SDK to 34
• Upgraded a ton of dependencies
• iOS emoji pack now always links to the latest release
  • This is so we don't need to update the app to push emoji font updates
