What's new in v1.14.0

Shiny new things

  • Added an incremental sync engine: subscriptions, unread counts, collections, lists, inboxes and timelines now follow the server's change log instead of refetching full snapshots
  • Added a persisted transaction queue: read, unread, mark-all and star actions apply instantly, are sent in order, and are retried while offline
  • Added a prompt when the API cannot be reached, dismissed automatically once the server answers again
  • Added a preferences button next to the login button so settings can be opened without signing in

Improvements

  • Reduced launch requests: the session, action rules, settings, wallet and push token are no longer requested on every start
  • Routed API requests, updates, downloads, reader page fetching, text-to-speech and integrations through Chromium's network stack so they follow the system proxy, PAC files and SOCKS proxies
  • Timelines now catch up when you return to the window, and oldest-first lists pick up new entries at their end
  • On Linux, turning off "Minimize to tray" now offers to restart Folo so the tray icon is actually removed
  • Redacted the CLI login token from logs

No longer broken

  • Fixed "Unable to connect to the server" appearing on brief hiccups; the API now counts as unreachable only after a probe confirms it
  • Fixed being signed out locally when the API was temporarily unreachable; only a real 401 clears the session
  • Fixed cover images missing from the entry body not being shown above the content
  • Fixed the masonry layout not resetting when the item order changed
  • Fixed keyboard shortcut hints splitting the comma key in shortcuts like "⌘ ,"
  • Fixed the system tray icon piling up on Linux (waybar, KDE Plasma) every time "Minimize to tray" was toggled, leaving dead icons whose menus did nothing

Thanks

Special thanks to volunteer contributor @jing2uo for fixing the Linux system tray icon
